COACHING PHILOSOPHYCOACHING PHILOSOPHY“MY APPROACH, MY PHILOSOPHY, IS THAT YOU DO EVERYTHING RIGHT. IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE THE BEST SOCCER PLAYER, THE BEST FRIEND, THE BEST STUDENT OR THE BEST DAUGHTER YOU CAN BE, YOU HAVE TO DO IT RIGHT. WHATEVER YOU DO, IT HAS TO BE DONE WITH 100 PERCENT COMMITMENT, SACRIFICE AND PRIDE.”


FAMILY“The first aspect of my philosophy is family. I want to create an atmosphere at West Virginia where the ladies can come to me at any time about any problem they may be having. I ask the same of my assistant coaches. I ask that they work hard and do whatever is necessary to create a positive, family environment for our student-athletes.”

HARD WORK“I firmly believe that when respect, hard work and sacrifice are a foundation, there will always be success down the road. I tell my girls that if they have a positive attitude, respect each other and work hard toward our team goal, we’ll be successful.”

DEDICATION“Any student-athlete who commits herself to West Virginia soccer, I commit myself to her. She gets 100 percent of my commitment. I’m going to be working hard for her, making sure that she has the best experience of her life while she is here because that is what college is all about.”

MOTIVATION “I’m always making sure that the athlete is maximizing her potential. I want to make certain that she becomes the best player, the best student and the best person we both know she is capable of becoming.”


GAME DAY IN MORGANTOWNFans throughout the state and the Mountaineer Maniacs come out to cheer on the Old Gold and Blue.

Mountaineer fans pack the stands to be the extra man, knowing their voice makes a difference. They come early, they like to be heard and they stay until the final whistle blows.

The stands at Dick Dlesk are buzzing with a boisterous student section that sits just feet away from the playing field.

Mountaineer National brings the kind of noise that turns a home field into a home-field advantage and makes it difficult for visiting teams to come away with a result.

The playing of “Country Roads, Take Me Home,” ends the game by celebrating another Mountaineer victory.

WEST VIRGINIA WOMEN’S SOCCER HAS DRAWN 21 CROWDS BETTER THAN 1,000 FANS AT DICK DLESK SOCCER STADIUM IN THE LAST EIGHT YEARS, MAKING IT ONE OF THE MOST INTIMIDATING ENVIRONMENTS IN ALL OF COLLEGE SOCCER.


DREAMSWORK FIELDIn the fall of 2011, the Mountaineers stepped foot in their new state-of-the-art training facility called Dreamswork Field. The training site features the same custom, natural grass surface as the game field at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

The women’s soccer-only practice facility features a 75-by-120 yard natural turf field, along with additional space for goalkeeper drills and player warm-ups to avoid extensive use of the playing surface.

A complete water drainage and irrigation system exists on the new site, while four towers outline the fields with lights that can illuminate game-field conditions.

The program also has a custom players’ locker room, coaches office suite, players lounge with kitchenette and computer stations, athletic training room that includes a hydrotherapy pool, hall of honor, equipment and apparel room, and public restrooms.

DICK DLESK SOCCER STADIUM

Completed in August 2004, renovations to Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium (formerly the Mountaineer Soccer Complex) have made the home of women’s soccer at West Virginia one of the nation’s finest facilities. The stadium itself, named in honor of a generous gift on behalf of Mr. Dlesk, is a two-level, 1,650-seat stadium that features grandstand bleachers, a spacious five-booth press box, an on-site locker room, restrooms and concession booths.

In May 2010, the stadium’s sod was removed, and after the surface was laser-leveled to ensure better irrigation and production performance, natural grass was laid down, giving the field an iridescent, brand new look.

An extensive drainage and irrigation system was already in place to prevent inclement weather from harming the playing surface.


THE MOUNTAINEERS HAVE PLAYED NUMEROUS CONFERENCE AND NCAA TOURNAMENT MATCHES AT DICK DLESK, INCLUDING A RECORD 3,000 FANS IN WVU’S 2007 NCAA ELITE EIGHT MATCH AGAINST EVENTUAL NATIONAL CHAMPION USC.


CAPERTON INDOOR FACILITYThe Caperton Indoor Facility provides a big plus for all of West Virginia’s student-athletes needing an indoor training site.

Total length of the facility from wall to wall is 105 yards, and the Mountaineers’ sparkling indoor facility exceeds 75,000 square feet of training room.

Skylights provide natural lighting in the building and it is equipped with camera platforms for filming and observation.

The Caperton Indoor Facility, named in honor of former governor Gaston Caperton, gives West Virginia yet another component in one of the finest and most complete women’s soccer complexes in the nation.


THE MASSIVE STRUCTURE IS EQUIPPED WITH A 90-YARD FIELDTURF PLAYING SURFACE WITH SEVEN YARDS OF SAFETY ZONE SURROUNDING THE ENTIRE FIELD.


STRENGTH & CONDITIONINGWVU’s strength and conditioning staff ensures all student-athletes are on year-long programs designed to continue improving the fitness capabilities needed in their sports.

To keep athletes in peak physical condition, West Virginia offers a variety of training areas and an array of strength programs designed to increase performance.

The league sent five teams to the 2011 NCAA tournament with three of those advancing past the first round.

The Mountaineers earned their 12th NCAA tournament appearance last fall – the most among all Big 12 programs.

MOUNTAINEERS IN THE COMMUNITY

ALONG WITH STRENGTHENING THE YOUNGSTERS’ SOCCER SKILLS, THEY ALSO TEACH THE PARTICIPANTS THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP, COURAGE, DETERMINATION AND HARD WORK.


Winning and working hard are important to the West Virginia University women’s soccer team. But becoming successful and positive role models on and off the field is just as significant to them.

Women’s soccer student-athletes and coaches participate in a variety of community service activities including reading at schools, hospitals and speaking engagements.

At the core of women’s soccer’s many philanthropic activities has been its involvement to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research. This past spring, the team raised $12,854 for the Betty Puskar Breast Cancer Fund at the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center.

The WVU women’s soccer team has raised more than $85,000 over the past nine years to help fight breast cancer.

The team regularly donates its time and soccer knowledge by hosting and teaching free soccer clinics for local children to learn the fundamentals of the sport.

The Mountaineers give back to the Morgantown and surrounding communities every chance they get, embracing the opportunity to make an impact in society.

West Virginia spent March 24-April 1, 2012, in Madrid and Barcelona.Madrid attractions included the Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor, Almudena Cathedral and Puerta de Alcala, as well as a trip to Toledo, the old capital of Spain. Barcelona featured visits to The Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family, walking tours of downtown and the marketplace, a bus trip to view Montserratand – a jagged mountain landscape region, and plenty of shopping.WVU posted a 3-1 record against local and regional club teams, saw one professional game and took guided tours to Real Madrid’s Bernebeu Stadium and FC Barcelona’s Nou Camp Stadium.

The Mountaineers spent March 20-30, 2008, playing four games while exploring new cultures.The team also took in some sightseeing, which featured stops at some of the world’s most famous places – Prague Castle, Lesser Town, Old Town Square, Vatican City, the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Square and more.

2004During spring break 2004, West Virginia University took advantage of the NCAA rule that permits international travel once every four years by taking a 10-day tour of central and north-central Italy.The Mountaineers played five matches, earning a 2-2-1 record. West Virginia faced tough competition ranging from the U-21 Italian National Team, to which the Mountaineers fell 1-0, to Como 2000, a professional club squad WVU beat 3-0.When the Mountaineers weren’t training for upcoming matches or playing high-caliber soccer, they were able to visit such Italian landmarks as the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Vatican, take a ride on a gondola in Venice and enjoy the beauty of the Italian countryside.

1999The West Virginia women’s soccer team took its first foreign tour in the summer of 1999 by traveling to Brazil. The Mountaineers used the opportunity to showcase their infant program against some of the nation’s top professional teams.Among those competing against WVU were members of Brazil’s 1998 World Cup team. One of the places WVU called home during its trip to Brazil was the beautiful campus of the University of Sao Paulo. Sao Paulo, the most populous Brazilian state, is a city with many renowned landmarks.Although it was winter in Brazil, the weather cooperated enough to allow the team to play some futbol on the beaches of Guara Hara.

EACH TRIP HAS BEEN A TREMENDOUS CULTURAL AND SOCCER EXPERIENCE FOR OUR STUDENT-ATHLETES.” – NIKKI IZZO-BROWN

STUDENT-ATHLETE SERVICESWest Virginia University offers a variety of services and programs to help student-athletes maximize their academic potential. Department staff members work with coaches, on campus student service providers and faculty to help student-athletes meet the unique demands of the classroom, the sporting arena and the personal-social challenges they face as developing adults.

While many of the headlines center on the Mountaineers’ accomplishments on the playing field, West Virginia athletes have also made some noteworthy strides in the classroom. Some of those strides include a string of nine consecutive years where the department has had at least one first team Academic All-American.

To help its student athletes achieve academic success, one of the nation’s finest facilities resides in the WVU Coliseum – The Athletic Academic Performance Center. The 8,000-square foot facility provides individual and group study areas, a plethora of computer stations and the latest in fingerprint technology used when signing in.


STUDENT-ATHLETE SERVICESWest Virginia University’s graduation rate for student-athletes has been impressive, to say the least, over the past eight years. The ratio of student-athletes graduating to the general student body has increased almost every year.

These teams posted multiyear APRs in the top 10 percent of all squads in each sport. The APR provides a real-time look at a team’s academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team’s academic performance.

The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) provides a forum for the “voice of the student-athlete” on WVU’s campus. SAAC membership provides feedback to administration about how to better WVU athletic programs. They offer input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes’ lives on NCAA member institution campuses.

for the Big 12 Championship. A squad gets three points for each conference win and one point for each conference tie.

All-Conference Returnees West Virginia returns seven starters this season, including six players who have previ-ously earned all-conference recognition. Those student-athletes are seniors Bry McCarthy (second team, 2011; third team, 2010), Bri Rodriguez (first team, 2010; rookie team, 2009) and Caroline Szwed (rookie team, 2009), junior Frances Silva (second team, 2011; rookie team, 2010) and sophomores Sara Keane (second team, 2011; rookie team, 2011) and Kate Schwindel (second team, 2011; rookie team, 2011).

Youthful Squad Only five Mountaineers have played in more than 40 matches at West Virginia, led by seniors Bry McCarthy and Bri Rodriguez with 69 appearances. Caroline Szwed (67), Mallory Smith (49) and Frances Silva (46) complete the listing. Rodriguez leads all active players with 69 career starts, followed by Szwed with 67. Of the roster’s 30 players, 22 of them are either freshmen or sophomores. Seven differ-ent players on the 2012 roster have started at least one match in their career – half as many as a year ago.

Big 12 Soccer West Virginia became official members of the Big 12 Conference on July 1, 2012. WVU women’s soccer will add to the competiveness of the league, bringing 12 consecutive NCAA appearances on its resume. Last fall, every Big 12 team ranked in the top 100 in the final NCAA RPI listing – a league first. Also last season, the Big 12 had the nation’s top scoring offense (Texas A&M, 3.17 goals per game) and the country’s best defense (Oklahoma State, .337 goals allowed per game).

Big 12 Championship West Virginia, winners of three of the last five Big East Women’s Soccer Championships, will have a new venue for its postseason play. The 2012 Big 12 Soccer Championship will take place on at Blossom Soccer Stadium in San Antonio, Texas. No matches will be played on campus sites. It marks the 16th consecutive year that the University of Texas and San Antonio Sports Foundation will co-host the event at the venue. A year ago, the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds were streamed by the Big 12 Digital Network on Big12Sports.com, and the championship finals were broadcast on FSN. The top eight teams based on conference results determined by a point system qualify

2012 Season PreviewWVU begins inaugural season in the Big 12Challenging Competition The 2012 West Virginia women’s soccer schedule is a grueling one, facing eight teams that appeared in the 2011 NCAA tournament – Baylor, Kansas, La Salle, Miami, Oklahoma State, Penn State, Stanford and Texas. ”We are looking forward to an exciting 2012 season,” says coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “Our schedule has a good mix of conference and non-conference opponents that will help prepare us to make a deep postseason run.”

First Time Foe West Virginia will square off against 10 new opponent this fall. Those teams are La Salle, Western Carolina, Stanford, along with seven Big 12 foes: Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. In the program’s 16-year existence (heading into 2012), the Mountaineers have faced 83 different teams. WVU’s lone first-time oppo-nent in 2011 was High Point.

Spanning the Globe WVU features student-athletes from Canada and 14 different U.S. states on its 2012 roster. Five players come from Pennsylvania, four from New Jersey and West Virginia, three from Canada and Virginia. Ala-bama claims two players and nine states have one player wearing the Old Gold and Blue.

An International Experience Taking advantage of an NCAA rule that allows pro-grams to travel overseas as part of an international tour every four years, WVU took a nine-day tour of Spain on its 2012 spring break. The Mountaineers trav-eled to Madrid and Barce-lona, playing three games while exploring new cultures. The team attended one professional game and took guided tours of Real Madrid’s Bernebeu Stadium and FC Barcelona’s Nou Camp Stadium. ”The experience and knowledge gained from our trip to Spain was also invaluable in our de-velopment,” says coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “The trip served as a great learning environment for our ladies to continue their development individually and as a team.”

Not factored into the numbers above is graduate student Caitlin Hulyo, who is finish-ing up her eligibility after a standout career at Colorado College. A three-year starter, Hulyo played in 51 matches and recorded 200 saves. She is a two-time All-Conference USA goal-keeper.

Offensive Outlook The 2011 Mountaineers recorded 49 goals (six shy of the school record) and 45 assists (two shy of the school record) en route to a 143-point season. WVU returns 53 percent of its goals and 37 percent of its assists for 2012. Forwards Frances Silva and Kate Schwindel return after combining for 14 goals and 11 as-sists last fall. Both were named to the All-Big East second team and Schwindel was crowned the league’s rookie of the year. Six different Mountaineers on the current roster have scored a goal in their careers.

Defensive Outlook West Virginia returns only one starter along the back line this fall in senior Bry McCarthy The outside back owns 69 career appearances with 58 starts. In goal, sophomore Sara Keane returns after registering nine shutouts in 2011. Both were named to the All-Big East second team. Three defender positions, along with the holding midfield spot of Caroline Szwed – out for the season with a knee injury, are up for grabs.

Home Sweet Home Mountaineer soccer teams have played well in Morgantown throughout the years, putting together a 69-12-8 home record since Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium opened in August 2004. Last season, WVU posted an 11-2-0 home record, including a 3-1 victory over eighth-ranked Marquette on Sept. 18.

Elite Instruction In 16 seasons, as the only coach in the his-tory of Mountaineer women’s soccer, coach Nikki Izzo-Brown has built a one-time infant program into one of the nation’s elite. Enter-ing the 2012 season, she ranks in the Top 25 among NCAA Division I coaches all-time with a .700 winning percentage (includes one year at West Virginia Wesleyan). Izzo-Brown has secured double-digit wins in each of the past 12 seasons and she has never had a losing season in 17 years as a head coach. Her career record stands at 237-92-32.

Helping Kick Cancer The women’s soccer team raised $12,854 this spring in its effort to help fight breast cancer. All of the money raised goes directly to the Betty Puskar Breast Cancer Fund at the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center. A check presentation for the money raised this past spring will be held at halftime of one of the fall matches. The WVU women’s soccer team has raised more than $85,000 over the past nine years to help fight breast cancer.

Kate Schwindel

Bri Rodriguez



Izzo-Brown: Sara Keane had a very solid rookie year after waiting her turn behind a four-year goalkeeper in Kerri Butler. A year ago, she had an experienced back line in front of her. This fall, she will need to be a very demanding and vocal goalkeeper for our defensive unit to be effective. She played her best soccer at the end of the season and it should carry over into a strong sophomore season.

Q: Bry McCarthy spent part of her spring and summer training with the Full Canadian National Team. What did that do for her confi-dence as we enter the fall?

Izzo-Brown: It was good for Bry to go out and prove she could compete at the highest level. While she did not make the Olympic team, she was able to train in a fast speed of play. And the confidence of going against your country’s best is only going to help Bry and our back line as a unit. She has high expectations for herself, and as the only returning starter, we will ask a lot of her this fall.

Q: The team continues to draw large crowds at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. Does the team look forward to playing in front of the big crowds at Dick Dlesk?

Izzo-Brown: We average better than 1,000 fans a game and have great support through-out the community. I can’t express in words how hard the girls work and how motivated they are to play in front of a home crowd. The

Izzo-Brown: We are excited about this fall’s schedule which features several new teams. We play a demanding non-conference sched-ule, highlighted by the defending champions in Stanford. Then we close out the season with eight Big 12 Conference games. I have a lot of respect for the teams in the Big 12 Conference, and we are anxious to see what it’s all about. I’m looking forward to building strong relation-ships with the Big 12 coaches and hopefully making it the best conference in the country.

Q: Two all-conference forwards return from last year. Will the offense be a strength of this year’s team?

Izzo-Brown: While it is hard to replace the leadership and experience of last year’s six-member senior class, you have to move on. And I’m excited about the opportunities for a variety of people to contribute offen-sively. There are a lot of talented players on this team, but there needs to be more with a scoring mentality like Blake Miller had. Kate Schwindel and Frances Silva return up top and will be threats to score every time they touch the ball. But I’m also looking for play-makers and finishers.

Q: You lost three back line starters but return goalkeeper Sara Keane. What do you expect from your sophomore goalkeeper this season?

One-on-OneWith Head CoachNikki Izzo-BrownCoach Nikki Izzo-Brown answered some ques-tions at the beginning of the summer about her West Virginia women’s soccer program.

Q: Were you pleased with how the spring season went and what types of things did you accomplish?

Izzo-Brown: I believe the spring season is more about getting better each time out, rather than working for a result. We were able to experiment with some lineups due to some injuries, allowing every player a chance to really focus on individual development. The experience and knowledge gained from our trip to Spain was also invaluable in our development. The trip served as a great learn-ing environment for our ladies to continue their development individually and as a team. Hopefully, the training and team bonding while in Spain will carry over as we head into the Big 12 Conference.

Q: You again have a schedule full of tough opponents. What are you thoughts on the 2012 slate?

crowd can impact the momentum of a game and serve as a 12th player in the stands.

Q: Your team has won 10 straight NSCAA team academic awards. How have your teams been able to achieve academic and athletic success at the same time?

Izzo-Brown: As a staff, we’ve tried to send the message that you have to be motivated on and off the field to be successful. The philoso-phy has always been that you just can’t turn it on and off. Everything you do must be ap-proached with the best of your ability. Having a large number of Academic All-Americans on the wall next to soccer All-Americans says a lot about our girls. We are proud of the NSCAA team academic awards because it shows we are getting it done on the field and in the classroom.

Q: Justify the following statement: the Big 12 Conference is a soccer powerhouse.

Izzo-Brown: Top to bottom, soccer in the Big 12 is probably the most balanced conference in the country. Last fall, every soccer program in the Conference finished in the top 100 in the NCAA RPI. On any given day, anyone can win or lose in this conference. You have to be prepared for 90 minutes of intense soccer any time you step on the field for a Big 12 match. We are excited to add to the league’s tradi-tion of sending quality teams to the NCAA Championships.

Q: What has been the key ingredient of your success in building this program?

Izzo-Brown: Hard work. If you have kids with the right at-titude, anything can happen. To be the very best, you must work hard and earn your full potential.

Q: When you are on the road recruiting, what is the most important thing you look for in a student-athlete?

Izzo-Brown: The most important thing is athletic ability. After that we look for hard workers who are competitive and technical. We want them to have a strong desire to compete and to be the best.

Q: What is the one thing about West Virginia women’s soccer that sells the program to a potential student-athlete?

Izzo-Brown: I think it is the family atmosphere we have here. Once you commit to West Virginia, you commit to a family. You immediately have people who care about you.

Q: Where do you see the future of this program going?

Izzo-Brown: I see us going to a Final Four and winning a national championship. That’s our vision. That’s our goal. And we are very close to making it happen.

of MLS Cup titles in his first two years at the helm. Luck secured the funding for an $80 million soccer complex to house the Dynamos when the call came to return to his alma mater. BBVA Compass Stadium was built and opened in 2012 adding to Luck’s legacy with the profes-sional soccer team, and the overall Houston sports facility complexes. He returned in May, 2012 for the opening ceremony of the soccer stadium that he fought so hard for. Prior to his current position at WVU, Luck was appointed by then Gov. Joe Manchin in 2008 to a four-year term on the West Virginia University Board of Governors, a spot he relin-quished to become director of athletics. The Rhodes Scholar finalist graduated Phi Betta Kappa from WVU in 1982. He also earned a law degree from Texas, graduating cum laude in 1987. In 1997, Luck was inducted into the West Virginia University Sports Hall of Fame, and in 2008, he was inducted into the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame. “It’s an incredible honor for me to be the athletic director at my alma mater,” said Luck. “I care deeply about this school, and WVU is truly one of the outstanding land-grant uni-versities in the country. I am so pleased to be a part of the leadership team assembled under President Clements at a dynamic and strategic time in its history.” He is married to the former Kathy Wilson. They have two sons and two daughters: Andrew, a former All-American quarterback and two-time Heisman Trophy finalist at Stanford and No. 1 overall pick of the 2012 NFL draft by the Indianapolis Colts; Mary Ellen, a junior volleyball player at Stanford; Emily, a freshman at Stanford and Addison, who attends Morgantown High.

1981, and also received the Louis D. Meisel Award for the WVU football student-athlete with the highest grade point average. The two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American was the recipient of Today’s Top Five, presented for scholastics by the NCAA and was selected by the National Football Foundation as one of its 10 scholar-athletes to make a keynote speech at its annual banquet in 1982. Selected in the second round of the NFL draft by the Houston Oilers (44th overall pick), Luck spent four years with the Oilers from 1982-86. His most extended action came in 1983 when he started six games and finished the season completing 124-of-217 passes for 1,375 yards and eight touchdowns. After retiring from football, Luck became vice president of business development for the NFL and later was appointed general manager of the Frankfurt Galaxy of the newly created World League of American Football. He spent the ’95 season as general manager of the Rhein Fire before being named President and CEO of NFL Europe in 1996. Luck totaled more than 10 years with the NFL, before becoming chief executive officer of the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority in 2001. In that role, Luck oversaw the development and management of a $1 billion professional sports and entertainment complex for the city of Houston that included Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros, Reliant Stadium, home of the Houston Texans, the Toyota Center, home of the Houston Rockets, Comets and Aeros and the Livestock Show and Rodeo. In 2005, Luck was appointed as the first president of Major League Soccer’s Houston Dynamos, helping that organization to a pair

Oliver LuckDirector of Athletics

Successful at each of his previous career stops, Oliver Luck continues that streak at West Virginia University. A former Mountaineer quar-terback, Luck, appointed the University’s 11th Director of Athletics by President James P. Clements on June

9, 2010, has made significant strides in his first two years to enhance WVU’s role as a major player in the collegiate world. In his first year, Luck hired four head coaches, while maintaining WVU’s superior level of success. In addition to new hires, Luck oversaw the progress of major capital projects, such as the $25 million WVU basketball prac-tice facility for men’s and women’s basketball and the women’s soccer training complex. He also fostered an atmosphere for achievement and triumph in the classroom and on the field. In year two, Luck led WVU into the Big 12 Conference, oversaw the best fundraising year in school history, implemented several safety and crowd enhancements at Mountaineer sporting events, increased overall department revenue, continued a master plan for facility upgrades and watched his football program gain its third BCS bowl victory with a record-setting 70-33 win in the Orange Bowl. Luck’s athletic and professional career has been the epitome of success, first as a record-setting quarterback for the Mountaineers from 1978-81, then as a professional quarterback for the National Football League’s Houston Oilers, and later as a professional sports executive. Luck’s journey to the big chair at WVU began in his native Cleveland, where in 1977 he was named the Cleveland Touchdown Club Player of the Year at St. Ignatius High. Luck chose WVU over Ivy League schools Harvard and Yale, embarking upon a career that saw him establish school records for touchdown passes and completions during his playing days, while also leading the Mountaineers to a 26-6 upset victory over Florida in the 1981 Peach Bowl. His best season came as a senior in 1981 when he completed 216 of 394 passes for 2,448 yards and 16 touchdowns. He passed for a career-high 360 yards in a 27-24 loss to Syracuse at the Carrier Dome in the final regular-season game of his career. Luck ended his college career with 5,765 yards and 43 touchdown passes, both figures still ranking among the best in school history. Luck was a two-time team MVP in 1980 and

Oliver Luck was a two-time ESPN The MagazineAcademic All-American quarterback at WVU.
