Students at West Virginia University and concerned community members were heard chanting through the Downtown Campus on Thursday afternoon to show support for the “Million Stu-dent March.”
Organized largely through Facebook, the national ini-tiative inspired students at more than 100 universities across the country to rally to-gether for the day of action and protest student debt.
“Education will be free, no more debt for you and me... Education is a right, not just for the rich and white,” marchers yelled.
More than 41 million Americans collectively owe more than $1.2 trillion in student loan debt, according to the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau. Backed by left-wing political groups and Senator Bernie Sand-ers’ presidential campaign, The Million Student March is fighting against that.
Supporters of the initia-tive demand a future of tu-ition-free public colleges, the elimination of student loan debt and a $15 mini-mum hourly wage for cam-pus employees.
“This is not something new, this is not something crazy,” said Andrew Szanto, the Morgantown commu-nity member who brought the movement to campus. “A lot of this is networking and organizing, and bringing people together to start be-ing active not just politically, but on a grassroots level, just demanding changes until legislators listen to us.”
Those who participated in the rally started in the Mountainlair’s free speech
zone, walked down Univer-sity Avenue, passed by White Hall and turned up North High Street.
Protesters stopped briefly in front of Stewart Hall for a representative to deliver the Million Student March de-mands to the President’s of-fice, as well. They were asked to keep the event “peaceful” and “constitutional.”
E n d i n g o n t h e Mountainlair Green, the second half of the rally con-sisted of students and com-munity members speaking out about issues like student wages being too low to cover college expenses, not being able to find jobs despite a degree and how students of color have an even harder time getting out of debt.
“The problem is just going to keep getting worse,” said West Virginia Delegate Mike Manypenny. “It’s time that society stood up and started
helping our students to get a proper education—whether vocational education or a college education—so they can contribute to society the best way they can.”
Participants were also asked to share their personal stories of how they’ve been affected by debt.
Manypenny was one of
the speakers.“I don’t want people to go
through what I did,” he said. “We need to reform our ed-ucational system because there are so many students that are (going to) graduate and become unemployed, or get a job and go through

Nationwide, more than 130,000 veterans are homeless and go hungry each night, according to the nonprofit organiza-tion, Feed Our Vets.
West Virginia Univer-sity’s Center for Service and Learning in conjunc-tion with the WVU Office of Veterans Affairs is work to combat that in the Mor-gantown area.
“Buy A Vet A Meal” is an initiative that gives back to local veterans who are hungry and in need.
The program, which lasts Nov. 9-13, asks in-dividuals to purchase gift cards at certain local res-taurants during the week that will be collected and distributed throughout November and Decem-ber to feed those who don’t know where their next meal is coming from.
Participating restau-rants include The Grind, Blue Moose Café, Iron Horse Tavern, Tailpipes, The Cupcakerie and Morgantown Brewing Company.
“I’ve been really im-pressed with the willing-ness of local business to participate,” said Alexis McMillen, Program Co-ordinator for WVU Cen-ter for Service and Learn-ing. “It’s been a really nice collaboration.”
“Buy A Vet A Meal” was developed by Brian Ricketts, an AmeriCorps VISTA with the Center for Service and Learning. As part of the VISTA Collab-orative, Ricketts’ place-ment is concentrated on gaining awareness of poverty issues, as well as promoting post-second-ary education among veterans.
“(It’s about) doing something to honor Vet-erans,” McMillen said, “and involve(s) stake-holders who aren’t nor-mally involved.”
Ricketts first got the idea for the initiative while spending time in Philadelphia. He came across a local pizza shop that encouraged custom-ers to purchase a slice of pizza for the homeless for only $1, and was fond of the idea and of giving back.
“I thought it was a great way for the community to do a little something to take care of their home-less individuals,” he said.
Ricketts feels it’s im-portant to recognize the sacrifices veterans and their families make and have made every day for others. No kind gesture toward veterans is ever too small, according to Ricketts.
“Participating in this program is a good start, but it only lasts a week,” he said. “This is just one small way for the WVU and Morgantown com-munity to honor and show their apprecia-tion to veterans and their families.”

STAND IN SOLIDARITY
By Jake JaRVisstAff writer
@newsroomJAke
itter winds blew across the front of the Mountainlair as
a group of African Amer-ican and white students huddled together, glanc-ing at their phones in an-ticipation of 7:30 p.m.
In a time where polit-ical pundits argue about the incidents leading up to the president of University of Missouri’s resignation, West Virginia University students stood in solidar-ity of their faraway peers.
“We owe solidarity to the University of Missouri students and all black stu-dents nationwide,” said Jihad Dixon, president of WVU’s chapter of the NAACP. “And all black stu-dents nationwide. We are in the best of times, but we are in the worst of times.”
Members of the Afri-can American community at WVU spoke of the bond they share. Students like
Dixon and other campus leaders want to use events like these to bring the com-m u n i t y c l o s e r together.
“ W e stand in solidarity a g a i n s t all forms of oppression—racism, sexism and homopho-bia,” said David Fryson, vice president of the Di-vision of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. “We don’t only stand against what is wrong, we also stand for what is right.”
‘LOOK HOW FAR WE’VE COME’
Ellis Roper didn’t think he would win—but not because of the color of his skin.
During his senior year at WVU, Roper was a final-ist in the Mr. Mountaineer competition. No African American man had ever worn the crown before, so
the stakes were high.“Some people looked
at me and said, ‘You’re not going to win,’” Roper re-c a l l e d . “ I s a i d , ‘Why?’”
He holds up a hand,
pointing to the color of his skin.
He faced a slate of im-pressive candidates—en-gineering majors, Rhode Scholars and all great pub-lic speakers. Roper, an Afri-can American student, was unsure of himself.
His journey through WVU is marked with change. He began the jour-ney as a scared young man, trying to find other faces with the same dark com-plexion as his own.
It continued Thurs-day night with him giving an impassioned speech to a crowd of about 200 students.
“Support I saw from my freshmen year until now
has literally tripled since I’ve been here,” he said. “I wouldn’t have seen this kind of crowd in my first year. Look how far we’ve come.”
‘A GATHERING PLACE FOR DIFFERENT IDEAS’
When tensions at Miz-zou boiled over, Univer-sity administration almost immediately hired Chuck Henson to be its chief di-versity officer. Henson will
head up the University’s di-versity initiative as it heals in the coming months.
WVU has had a similar position for years, and Da-vid Fryson has filled that position since 2012. For now, at least, he doesn’t see WVU heading down a road similar to Mizzou.
“It happens to people at the highest level of the institution not listening to the most vulnerable of

Vice President Joe Biden released an op-ed earlier this week addressing sex-ual assault on college cam-puses. The piece, which is focused on the national campaign “It’s On Us,” says that students have to hold their universities account-able, and they have to get involved.
It’s On Us is a move-ment in higher educa-tion institutions across the country that asks stu-dents, faculty and staff to take a pledge to end sexual violence.
Earlier this year, West V i r g i n i a U n i v e r s i t y launched the campaign on campus like hundreds of other schools, and is currently celebrating na-tional It’s On Us week.
Starting Nov. 8-13, ef-forts will be made to mo-tivate students to sign their names and increase awareness.
Students have been en-couraged all week to show further support by posting “selfies” to social media with the captions #ItsO-nUs, #WVUPeerAdvocate, and WVU’s peer advo-cates have been meeting around campus to share resources and educate fel-low students.
“We want (people) to really understand what to say to somebody when you hear that rape joke, and what to say if a friend comes to you and they think something hap-pened,” said Mariana Mat-thews, Title IX education specialist with the Divi-sion of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. “Instead of just normalizing the con-
versation, we want to em-power students, to em-power each other to stop this.”
The pledge requires more than words, how-ever. Those who sign up agree to act and intervene if they see something, to recognize any time con-sent is not given, it’s sex-ual assault and “to cre-ate an environment in which sexual assault is unacceptable,” accord-ing to the campaign’s website.
Peer advocates have been recruiting students in their classes to take the pledge this week, but on Monday, those involved will decide the days and locations for future orga-nized events.
“We’re going to try and have a few peer ad-vocates at each library around campus. Instead
of just setting up in the Mountainlair and that’s it, we’re actually going try to go to every campus and try to really be around,” Matthews, who also works with the Peer Advocates, said.
‘It’s On Us’ started in September of 2014 after Biden, along with Presi-dent Barack Obama, put together focus groups of students, faculty, admin-istrators and high school students to find out how to “tackle” sexual violence, Matthews said. National statistics show that 1 in 5 women and 1 in 16 men on college campuses are sex-ually assaulted.
Though Matthews said the University was not unaware of the statistics when it took part, choos-ing to participate allowed WVU to confront these problems intimately.
“(It’s On Us) was an op-portunity for us to take care of our issues here and for us to help our commu-nity... This says that if one of our Mountaineers is hurt, maybe we should all be hurting,” she said.
Because the issue is serious, Matthews said the community should not take sexual violence lightly. People should know their resources.
WVU specifically holds Green Dot trainings, a na-tional prevention educa-tion program that teaches people how to step up when the see sexual vio-lence occurring of feel it’s about to occur; promotes Live Safe, a national app that filter’s anonymous messages on campus to the University Police De-partment if a person wit-nesses violence; and trains peer advocates, students
who study the legal, med-ical, counseling, mental and recovery processes to help sexual violence victims.
“We go first in every-thing else. Why not go first in this, right?” Matthews said. “Why not go first in ending sexual violence across the nation?”
For interested students now enrolling in courses for the spring semester, there will be a Peer Advo-cate class from 6-8:50 p.m., on Wednesdays in the Col-lege of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences. The 3-credit service course is open to all majors and years.
Prior to being enrolled, students must set up an informational interview with Matthews at [email protected].
Twenty-one years ago, I wrote the Violence Against Women Act to end the scourge of violence against women and hold perpetra-tors accountable. It’s been a great success, but even one attack is one too many.
So I held a number of calls with hundreds of students, administrators, advocates, and survivors and asked what we can do to make colleges safer. The over-whelming answer—get men involved.
So President Obama and I started It’s On Us—to wake-up our colleges and univer-sities – and the country – to the epidemic of sexual vio-lence on their campuses.
Over the past year, we’ve gotten celebrities, major companies, sports leagues, and leading broadcasters to participate in public service
announcements and dis-play logos and information, showing how everyone can help prevent these heinous crimes from ever happening.
One thing students can do is take the It’s On Us pledge. Over 250,000 students have already pledged:
To intervene instead of being a bystander.
To recognize that any time consent is not – or cannot – be given, it is sexual assault and it is a crime.
To do everything you can to create an environment where sexual assault is un-acceptable, and all survivors are supported.
The response has been overwhelming. More than 300 campuses have hosted over 1,000 It’s On Us events, and nearly 300 colleges and universities have created their own It’s On Us pub-
lic service announcements, reaching millions of people online and at football and basketball games.
But this year, we want to do even more. That’s why between November 8th to November 14th, I’m travel-ing across the country call-ing for a Week of Action to get more students involved.
This week, the University of Wisconsin is hosting an It’s On Us flag football game with student athletes, mem-bers of Greek organizations, and other student groups. At Stonehill College in Massa-chusetts, students, faculty, and staff are wearing nam-etags that say how they have been affected by sexual as-sault: “I am a survivor,” and “I will not be a passive by-stander.” Middle Tennessee State University is hosting discussions in the student
center and online about consent and stopping sex-ual violence.
In addition to taking the pledge, consider other steps:
Organize drives to get more students to take the It’s On UsPledge.
Ask businesses, libraries, hospitals to display an It’s On Us logo.
Encourage sports teams, fraternities, sororities, bands, and other student or-ganizations to get involved.
Hold press conferences and roundtables with school administrators and commu-nity leaders about campus sexual assault.
Use social media to spread the word using #ItsonUs.
You have to demand that your Universities be held ac-countable. President Obama and I have made it crystal clear that schools that fail
in this responsibility are in violation of Title IX and risk federal investigation and fi-nancial penalties. And each of you can make it clear that you expect nothing less.
I also encourage your colleges to partner with lo-cal rape crisis centers, local law enforcement, and wom-en’s health centers to coor-dinate a robust community response and ensure that victims are supported in ev-ery way possible.
We have more to do to change the culture that asks the wrong questions, like why were you there? What were you wearing? Were you drinking?
We have to ask the right questions—What made him think that he could do what he did without my consent? Why on Earth did no one stop him instead of stand-
ing by? What can we do to make sure everyone has the courage to speak up, inter-vene, prevent and end sex-ual assault once and for all?
You know that survivors are not statistics. They’re our sisters; they’re our class-mates; they’re our friends. They’re at every university, every college, in every com-munity—large and small. For all of them, everywhere, we can and we must end sexual and dating violence on campus.
But we can’t do it without you. Visit www.itsonus.org to find out what you can do during this Week of Action and throughout the school year.
It’s on me. It’s on you. It’s on us—and it’s within our power to end sexual vio-lence on campus once and for all.
Op-ED
Joe Biden: it’s on us to stop campus sexual assault
WVU participates in national ‘It’s On Us’ campaign against sexual assault
voices,” Fryson said. “What happens is, there comes a pivot point where those vulnerable voices gain allies.”
The difference between Mizzou and WVU, Fryson said, is that WVU adminis-trators are trying to listen.
Behind the scenes, Fryson and the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are working on
structural changes to how the University operates to bring about a more di-verse faculty, staff and stu-dent body.
Fryson draws his inspi-ration from students—so much so that he keeps the Division’s door open and encourages students to walk in and engage with its staff.
More recently, he’s been inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement and its ability to bring attention to stories mass media groups miss. For that, social media is to thank.
“The problem to that is, historically, you go through filters to access media,” Fryson said. “The danger is you now have un-filtered content that can turn off the very people your trying to change their minds. My hope is that we can make it a gathering place of different ideas.”
‘WHAT WE’RE DOING TOGETHER.
Jihad Dixon, a junior political science student, got a text with a big idea: gather a huge group of students in front of the Mountainlair to support the students at Mizzou.
He was completely on board. He sat in the
Mountainlair for about three hours that afternoon and contacted every diver-sity group on campus he could think of. He called the Morgantown Police and University Police to let them know what would happen.
“Someone asked if I re-ally think it could happen here,” Dixon said. “I said, ‘Absolutely.’”
In the end, Dixon is proud of his work. About 200 students showed up as campus leaders gave speeches, led chants and generously handed out hugs.
The night ended with the group standing in a line in front of the Mountainlair, holding signs that read, “I STAND WITH MIZZOU.”
President E. Gordon Gee and a handful of other University administrators showed up and spoke in support of the group of students.
“I’m not here as the president of this Univer-sity,” Gee said. “I’m here because I believe in what we’re doing together.”
No one from outside the group yelled any racial slurs and no confederate flags waved. No one tried to hog the bullhorn and no one interrupted any-one else.
But Destiny Jackson, a 19-year-old freshman at WVU who is African Amer-ican, walked slowly by the crowd with her boyfriend.
“Wow,” she said, “I’ve never seen this many black people at WVU in one place.”
the same process of having to go through those defer-ments until they default on
their loans.”Manypenny graduated
from college in the mid-80s and struggled to find a job. Moving to California, there was still little work, and he ended up living in the back of his camper for nine
months.He had paid off half of his
debt, but after having to de-fer three times, he went into default. Manypenny’s debt went from $7,000 to $40,000.
“It’s taken me the last 50 years to get from $40,000
to $20,000,” he said. “And (Students now) may have $100,000 in debt by the time they graduate. When you put interest and fines and fees on top of that, the debt they incur is going to be astronomical.”
Morgantown commu-nity member Dee Quaranto agreed, having been person-ally affected by debt, and specifically debt from WVU, too.
Quaranto graduated from WVU in 1993 and earned her masters from WVU in 1997.
“I had an initial balance of $70,000 in debt for my undergrad and masters. I’ve paid over $50,000 in inter-est and haven’t touched the principal,” she said.
Quaranto currently lives in Morgantown and runs a home-based business sell-ing mosaic supplies on Etsy, but she still is fighting her
debt—and she doesn’t think it will ever stop.
“I’m paying 8.25 (per-cent interest) at a time when banks are paying .75,” she said. “I’m paying 11 times the interest rate that a bank pays to borrow money, and I will die in debt.”

Social media threats unacceptableMost students at West
Virginia University likely use or have some aware-ness of the phone ap-plication YikYak, which functions similarly to an anonymous Twitter feed. Popular short posts made within a certain geo-graphic radius can be up-voted by other app users in the area, while unpop-ular ones disappear from the feed after reaching a certain number of dis-likes. Because the posts are completely anonymous, a wide variety of subjects are addressed by its us-ers at every hour of the day.
Unfortunately, ano-nymity can be viewed as a source of power for some and may lead them to make statements they don’t truly believe or plan to follow through with. Many have used the app as a way to broadcast extremely unsa-vory comments about oth-
ers without having their identities revealed, though these statements are usu-ally downvoted off the page before causing much controversy.
However, in Missouri, two college students were arrested for making vio-lent threats toward African Americans on the app after their identities were dis-covered by police. Hunter Park, a student at a sepa-rate branch of the Univer-sity of Missouri in Rolla was arrested for writing and posting the threats. Connor Stottlemyre, an-other student at North-west Missouri State Uni-versity, was apprehended by police for the same reason.
“I’m going to stand my ground tomorrow and shoot every black person I see,” one threatening YikYak post read. Another stated, “We are waiting for you at the parking lots...
We will kill you.”UM at Rolla’s campus is
more than an hour away from UM’s main campus, where hunger strikes and other protests earlier this week displayed extreme discontent with the way a series of racist events were handled by the school’s president. However, a Red-dit username connected to Park was linked to a post claiming he and his roommates had been us-ing a phone app in order to trick his phone’s GPS lo-cation, which allowed him to make posts to the main campus’ YikYak feed with-out physically being in the area.
Whether Park or Stottle-myer were serious in their threats or not, using an anonymous app to cause widespread panic is ex-tremely reprehensible be-havior. It can be easy to feel safe in posting content like death threats because
the statements cannot be traced back to the person who made them, but this is simply not the case.
This editorial board
urges WVU students to consider the consequences that could potentially stem from anything posted on social media, even anony-
mously. Causing mass dis-tress and fear among indi-viduals is never acceptable.
COmmeNTAry
Choosing between career, motherhood is unnecessary
The concept of the “friend zone” is not new to anyone by now. As the term grows in popularity and works its way into ev-eryday vernacular, it finds itself in the mainstream media as well. This term has become so prevalent in our social and romantic interactions that MTV has dedicated an entire show to it, appropriately titled “Friendzone.”
In the show, the “friend-zoner” is set up on a blind date and the “friend-zonee” helps prepare him or her for their date, only to later discover the blind date is between the friend-zonee and the friend-zoner. By forcing the friend-zoner into a romantic situation with the friend-zonee, the idea is that the friend-zoner might discover or confront unexplored ro-mantic feelings toward the friend-zonee.
Let me be frank: the friend zone does not ex-
ist. Sure, the language in-sinuates that the action of friend-zoning someone is a valid and reprehensible offense, but it is not. I be-lieve the friend zone is, in actuality, a blatantly sex-ist concept used to lessen the blow of rejection to the male ego, by giving
men an excuse to justify a woman’s actions toward them. While it is true some women also claim to be friend-zoned, it is primar-ily men existing in the fic-tional realm of the friend zone.
One cannot discuss the friend zone without also
confronting the “nice guy” stereotype. There are, of course, genuinely nice guys in the world: Kind, caring individuals who are a joy to know. The “nice guy,” how-ever, is not one of those people.
“Nice guy” for those un-familiar with the term, is
used to describe men who are nice to women not out of any shred of human de-cency, but with the inten-tion of receiving atten-tion or sexual interest in return for their good be-havior. The idea that a woman owes a man some-thing for being a decent human being toward her is implicit in the concept of the friend zone. Stated quite elegantly by one In-ternet user, “‘Slut’ is how we vilify a woman for ex-ercising her right to say ‘yes.’ ‘Friendzone’ is how we vilify a woman for ex-ercising her right to say ‘no.’”
It hurts me—a real, gut-wrenching hurt—when I hear men com-plain about how women don’t date nice guys. Women do date nice guys, and frequently at that. The problem is not that women aren’t interested in nice guys; the problem is that “sexist” and “enti-tled” are not adjectives in their definition of a nice guy.
This miscommunica-tion of human interaction comes primarily from the
aforementioned male en-titlement. The term “friend zone” is a linguistic exam-ple of this entitlement, as it implies a negative conno-tation on friendship with a woman—as though be-ing just friends is never enough.
Through the lens of the friend zone, mere friend-ship with a woman is viewed as undesirable and serves as a punishment enacted on men who want things to go further. How-ever, if a man is nice to a woman with the expecta-tion of attention, affection or things of a sexual nature in return, society should understand the man is not actually being nice at all.
The concept of the friend zone reinforces the notion that women exist not separately from men, but only as a means to please or entertain them. It is just a layered lie to pro-tect men from the shame of unrequited sexual de-sire, and I believe the term should be immediately retired.

Male entitlement leads to creation of fictional “friend zone”
gainesvillescene.comYikYak allows users to post anonymously, which can lead to the publication of negative comments.
As a woman pursuing a college degree, I am keenly aware of the disadvantages and choices I face. However, I do not believe that I, nor young girls should be told that they have to choose be-tween having a career and pursuing motherhood.
To this end, I strongly dis-agree with the statements made by Vivienne Durham, the former headmistress of an all-girls boarding school, in a recent article from the United Kingdom. In the ar-ticle, she claimed telling girls they can handle having both a family and a career is “lying” to them about the reality of the glass ceiling, which states women and minorities face barriers in advancing in their careers.
I do not believe we have to force young girls to choose one over the other in order to explain societal inequali-ties to them, and I certainly don’t believe that saying “feminism” perpetuates the notion that the glass ceiling doesn’t exist.
A large issue with the claims made in the article is that Durham’s definition of feminism is flawed. She claimed she is not a feminist because, by her interpreta-tion, being a feminist means you do not tell girls the glass ceiling exists. This is simply not true.
To many, feminism is about acknowledging the so-cial disadvantages in place
and challenging them. It is about not wanting to set-tle with the way things cur-rently are because you know they are unfair and should be changed. By Durham tell-ing girls they have to make a choice between having chil-dren and having a career, she is perpetuating that inequal-ity and therefore stopping her students from achieving their full potential before they even have the chance to try.
The next problem in her statement was there was no happy medium in having a career and having children. She implied women who did choose to pursue both were either “juggling” them
or were pushed back several years in one or the other, such as either postponing having children or not accepting a promotion in order to have them.
I acknowledge I personally have not taken on a child, but I know a number of professors and faculty at this University, as well as in my personal life, who have had children at the end of their collegiate career or the start of their profes-sional one. They do not seem to be struggling to balance the two or were negatively impacted by their decision to wait the extra years to have children. This is something I felt Durham also skewed out
of proportion.To say that women who
wait to have children so they can finish their education and start a career are ignor-ing a “biological clock” is lu-dicrous. Most profession-als complete lengthy studies in their late twenties to early thirties, which leaves plenty of time to start both a career and a family.
While science has con-firmed there is heightened risk of pregnancy compli-cations as women get older, this doesn’t become a con-cern until 35 or 40. Therefore, women in their early and even mid-30s should not be concerned about conceiving,
and if they are concerned, a chat with the doctor should clarify any issues.
There is no denying that women face unfair stigmas and biases in areas like ed-ucation and employment. Despite the recent advance-ments in gender equality, we still live in an age where women receive unequal treatment to men. Women are paid less on average than an equivalently expe-rienced male coworker, and they are given fewer oppor-tunities for promotion than men.
To me, this isn’t an excuse to tell young girls that they can’t be mothers if they want
careers. This is a cause worth fighting for, not a means to simply accept the blatantly unfair standards set in place for decades.
If we want today’s young girls to succeed, then we should bolster a sense of pride in their abilities. Yes, we must be honest about the negative reality that per-sists, but we shouldn’t lead them to believe that obtain-ing the life they want is im-possible in the same breath. This is where Vivienne Dur-ham missed the mark in inspiring her students’ success.

IRON HORSE BRUNCH

@dAilyAthEnAEum
Iron Horse Tavern in downtown Morgantown hosts “Tavern Tailgate” and “Sunday Brunch” weekly, offering a signa-ture twist to traditional southern-cooked meals.
Business partners Chad Bartlett and Steve Dilet-toso, previously recog-nized for their positions as general manager and mar-keting manager at the lo-cal Mountain State Brew-ing Company, didn’t know where their new venture of opening the Iron Horse Tavern in 2014 would take them.
“The idea behind Iron Horse was to try and bring a slightly different brand of neighborhood tavern and eatery to High St., one that was appealable to a wide range of din-ers and based around the concept of a comfortable atmosphere, and unique pub food with a culinary slant,” Dilettoso said.
The Iron Horse Tavern resides in the former lo-cation of the long-stand-ing Madeline’s restaurant at 140 High Street.
“The interior of the restaurant has been ex-panded and totally reno-vated from the ground up,” Dilettoso said.
The restaurant, well into its second year in business, has made an impression on Morgan-town locals and visitors alike. The venue, set with brick walls, incandescent lighting and wood-floor-ing, makes for a rustic at-mosphere that appeals as welcoming to many.
“The concept is de-signed to be approach-able, and to satisfy a range of audiences; whether it’s sitting at the bar to watch the game over wings, or dining with a steak and a nice bottle of wine,” Dilet-toso said.
Iron Horse Tavern has become most recogniz-able for its bar, which spe-cializes in signature house cocktails and West Vir-ginia microbrew, dedicat-ing 11 of its 12 taps to ro-tating local WV craft.
“Everything is made in-house from scratch when we can and all of (them) are 100% natural and hor-mone free,” Dilettoso said.
The restaurant holds unique events and spe-cials throughout the week-end as well to encour-age customers to enjoy. Some of the most popu-lar of these special events include the weekly “Sun-day Brunch” and “Tavern Tailgate.”
The “Tavern Tailgate” occurs during every West
Virginia University foot-ball home game on Sat-urday. The tailgate offers some brunch items and specials for the games.
“Sunday Brunch” at the restaurant begins at 10 a.m. every Sunday morn-ing, while the cocktail spe-cials begin at 1 p.m. Some of the brunch favorites in-clude chicken and waffles served with bourbon-ma-ple syrup and powdered sugar, the Iron Horse Om-elet, served with cara-melized onion and white cheddar, Cap’n Crunch encrusted French Toast served with peanut butter mousse and caramelized bananas and the Green Eggs & Ham Burger.
Bottomless mimosas are also available spe-cial cocktail for Sun-day Brunch, and can be purchas ed after 1 p.m.
“The space gets pretty lively on weekends and has become a bit of a neighborhood hangout in addition to a tavern and eatery,” Dilettoso said.
Iron Horse Tavern will host a fall-themed West Virginia Craft Beer Pair-ing dinner on Wednesday, Nov. 18. The event will feature five fall-inspired courses, each being paired with a different local West Virginia craft beer.

AHS mid-season recap
Woody PondA&E WritEr
@dAilyAthEnAEum
Now that we’re about halfway through season five of “American Horror Story,” it’s time to check back in with what has been going on in the Ho-tel Cortez. If you are not fully caught up with “AHS: Hotel,” I recommend not reading on as there will be a few plot points contain-ing spoilers that will be addressed.
At the end of episode six, a lot of characters are already on downward spi-rals as is common to AHS. There have been several characters who have been brutally killed off already. The Countess’s bladed deathglove already has a double digit body count, and now that Iris has also gone off the deep end, the corpses are starting to pile.
In last night’s episode, the male model barbarian Tristan, who was played by Finn Wittrock, was mur-dered by The Countess in the final scene for going behind her back, and ini-tiating an emotional re-lationship with the drag queen bartender Liz Tay-lor. We also saw a bit into the mind of The Countess in a flashback of her hav-ing an abortion that led to the birth of some sort of undead, imp child named Bartholomew, in the ‘20s.
The abortion was car-ried out by Dr. Charles Montgomery in the Mur-der House from season one, providing another link within the American Horror Story universe. The Countess has big plans, as she continues to seduce the new owner of the hotel so that she can inherit his enormous fortunes to pro-vide for a baby. Even still, Ramona Royale, Donovan and Iris are plotting to de-
stroy everything she loves in an act of vengeance for her betrayal of their love.
On the other hand, we have the ongoing story of Detective John Lowe, who has become targeted by the chaos in the Hotel Cortez and suffers from vi-sions and hauntings that drive him mad. This is partly caused by his newly infected wife, Alex, who is so in love with her vam-pire son Holden that she chose to be changed so she could be with him in exchange for working un-der the Countess. Her de-cisions since becoming a vampire have been cata-strophic—she infected a sick boy in order to keep him alive which led to him infecting the rest of the kids in his class, after kill-ing a few teachers and the principal, as well as in-tentionally breaking her husband’s mental stabil-ity and ignoring her other daughter.
In last night’s epi-sode, Lowe showed up at a church where he saw a televangelist brutally gutted and displayed by the Ten Commandments Killer. The sin this time was “Thou shalt not take the Lord’s name in vain,” which the televangelist has done by using Chris-tianity and sermons to profit him. This plot line has been hardly touched in the last few episodes, but I assume it is still crit-ical to “Hotel” because of the incorporation of the commandments in the opening credits sequence. With Lowe’s mind crum-bling and many charac-ters already putting plans in motion against one an-other, the second half of season five of “Ameri-can Horror Story” should prove to be as exciting as it will horrific.

Is ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ a Christmas or Halloween movie?Since its premiere in 1993,
Tim Burton’s “A Nightmare Before Christmas” has cap-tured the imagination of au-diences everywhere.
The movie tells the story of Halloween Town resident Jack Skellington who opens a portal to Christmas Town and wants to celebrate the holiday.
The movie has straddled Halloween and Christmas themes since its inception.
On one hand, the movie is produced by Tim Burton, a man famous for his macabre movie style. Halloween town and its residents are creepy and dark.
However, the story is one of hope and betterment. Jack Skellington is bored of the 24/7 horrors of his town
and wants to try out some-thing new and different; the holiday Christmas.
Yesterday in the Mountainlair 71 students were polled on whether or not “The Nightmare Before Christmas” is a Halloween or Christmas movie.
The most popular an-swer was Halloween with 63 percent of the responses. Some of these students said it counts as a Halloween movie because that’s when they traditionally watch it. Others said it was Hal-loween themed due to the asthetics.
Of the remaining re-sponses, 34 percent said it was a Christmas movie and 3 percent had never seen it.

Celebrating Thanksgiving with Charlie Brown and the public librarybrittany osteen
A&E WritEr @dAilyAthEnAEum
For almost 40 years, Charlie Brown movies have become common household traditions.
With about 30 little kids running around excited to watch the movie with their friends and parents, the Morgantown Public Library hosted a children’s “Charlie Brown Thanksgiv-ing” watch party yesterday.
In the basement media room, kids were able to grab holiday bags with delicious treats, in-cluding popcorn, pretzels, M&Ms, jellybeans and bread. At the end, kids were able to take Charlie Brown themed crafts home.
“I think it is really nice when we can show movies and show different things that are ac-tually based on books,” said Cathy McMaster, program coordinator for the library. “This is actually the 65th anniversary of the Peanuts comic strip so just a couple weeks ago we did a Peanuts Party. It was a snoopy and friends party. We are just really trying to highlight them this year because I think it does bring in kids.”
The library hosts many events for kids to come and participate in.
“It is a big social aspect to bring your fam-ilies in to the library for kids to interact with other kids, other families and everything is free,” McMaster said. “It is free and everything is so expensive now a days. I don’t think that people use the libraries as well as they should.”
Regulars at the library, Tracy and Evelyn Sheets attended the movie. Evelyn is a first grader at Mountainview Elementary School. This was the second time that Evelyn has seen the Charlie Brown movie today. When she thinks of Thanksgiving, she thinks of turkey.
“I think it is really important,” Tracy said, Evelyn’s mom. “It is fun and then it gets kids to come in and read even if they are hesitant to start reading. They come in and do these fun things which encourage them.”
Next up, on Nov. 17, Caitlin Barber, who is the author of “Twas the night before game day the West Virginia Mountaineers,” and Moun-taineer sports players from the past and pres-ent will have an autograph session.
On Nov. 19, kids can read to dogs in the Read
to Rover event. This allows kids to read out loud to therapy dogs. This gives children the op-portunity to practice their reading skills with someone who won’t judge them. The dogs will only sit, listen and wag their tails.
Finally, on Dec. 5, the library is hosting a Disney Christmas. The event will be themed around Disney books and movie charac-ters. There will be craft stations, activities and even special guest appearances from Disney characters.
“Once they come in and they get hooked on the movies then they might try to find a book or comic strips or anything. Anything to get them reading is our goal at the library,” Mc-Master said.
The library’s goal is to inspire kids to find their love for reading.
“Here is the sad thing is that people keep saying that libraries are dying but they will only die if we let them,” McMaster said.

Elle King turns heartbreak into hit pop singleLOS ANGELES (AP)‑ Though
breakthrough singer Elle King has a huge hit with “Ex’s and Oh’s,” the feel-good, carefree 26-year-old remembers performing tire-lessly anywhere she could - with-out a cellphone.
“I played in a lot of empty bars and I played on a lot of couches and a lot of big offices and I didn’t have a cellphone when my man-ager tried to get a hold of me,” said King, who met her manager, Alan Bezozi, in 2010. “I would talk to him on payphones.”
The hard times are turning into good times: “Ex’s and Oh’s” is No. 12 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart and it reached the No. 1 spot on Bill-board’s Hot rock songs and alter-native songs charts, respectively.
And being without a phone still didn’t stop King from falling in love and breaking up with boys - the subject of her hit single and most of her debut album.
Despite singing about leaving an international wake of broken-hearted exes, King insisted she’s no man-eater.
“It’s so beautiful to love a per-son, but it’s like, it sucks. It just sucks when it doesn’t work out and so I’d rather just have fun while I’m young and maybe I’ll get married when I’m 70, to a few peo-ple,” the raspy-voiced singer said.
“Ex’s & Oh’s,” a sultry laun-dry list of real-life breakups, de-tails four of King’s past relation-ships. The song has sold 957,179 tracks so far, and King is not too concerned about how her exes feel about the track.
“I’m sorry,” she said to her exes before quickly rethinking the apol-ogy. “I’m not. Thank you. Boom! Look what happened!”
Heartache flows throughout her debut album, “Love Stuff,” which was released earlier this year. It’s named after a sex shop King drove past in Florida.
She sings about a toxic rela-tionship in “Under the Influence” and offers a stern warning to fu-ture boyfriends in “I Told You I Was Mean.” The album takes a dark, soulful turn with the eerie “Ain’t Gonna Drown” and a then a surprising optimistic swing with “Make You Smile,” an upbeat track about how far she’d go to make that special someone happy.
And her bluegrass influences shine through while she plays the banjo on the haunting “Kocaine Karolina.”
Inspired by Aretha Franklin, Dolly Parton - her dream col-laborator - and rockabilly singer Wanda Jackson, King intertwines blues, country and rock ‘n’ roll.
She begrudgingly admits that she makes pop music, too.
“I used to be afraid of those three letters, but I’m not any-more. Now I understand that it’s just mainstream, it’s popular and I’m learning and I don’t care,” said King, who is currently on a U.S. tour and will launch another tour with Vance Joy next year.
King was bitten by the show-biz bug at an early age. Her father is actor-comedian Rob Schnei-der and she had a small role in his
1999 comedy, “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.”
“I just grew up around perform-ers,” she recalled. “I just loved it and I’ve always wanted to be on-stage and I never wanted to get a real job.”
The singer was primarily raised by her mother and step-father in Ohio and decided to change her last name when she turned 18. She calls her mother “my everything and my idol.”
“I took her last name,” she said. “I wanted to do it on my own so that when it did happen, right now, this moment, I could say, ‘Yeah, I did it myself. And I did it with my name.’”
VH1 was one of King’s early supporters, using her music in the 2012 reality series “Hollywood Exes” and as the theme song for “Mob Wives Chicago.” She will perform at Thursday’s “VH1 Big Music in 2015: You Oughta Know” concert in New York, alongside fel-low breakthrough acts like Hozier, George Ezra, Tori Kelly and James Bay, whom King toured with in the United Kingdom.
“She doesn’t sound like anyone else, she doesn’t look like anyone else, and it’s the sort of unapolo-getic approach to what she puts out there that is just so galvaniz-ing,” said Sandy Alouete, MTV and VH1’s senior vice president of mu-sic and talent.
“I can’t think of one - not just female artist - one male or female artist right now that kind of ri-vals that hybrid that she truly is,” Alouete said.

CBS hopes debate coverage boosts streaming servicesNEW YORK (AP) ‑ CBS News sees its cov-
erage of Saturday’s Democratic presiden-tial debate as a key moment in helping to establish CBSN, the streaming service that just celebrated its first birthday.
Political reporter Major Garrett will host a preview of the debate an hour be-fore it begins on CBSN. The free service will stream the debate live, accompanied by data and tweets provided by Twitter, with Garrett stepping in with reactions during commercial breaks of the tele-vised contest. It is also being shown on the broadcast television network.
CBSN, which launched on Nov. 6, 2014, provides a continuous newscast and also allows users to click on streams of individual stories. It is available on the CBS News website, on the network’s mo-bile apps and through services like Apple TV, Roku and Android TV. Starting this week, it can also be seen on Xbox One.
“What this has to be to be a success is to be completely ubiquitous, that every-body who is delivering live news content has to be distributing us,” said CBS News President David Rhodes.
CBS views it as the future of video news, a generation removed from ca-ble news networks. The average age of a CBSN viewer is just under 40, consid-erably younger than the traditional tele-vision news demographic, the Nielsen company said. It is younger by three years for people watching on Internet-connected televisions.
For now, the service is unique to CBS. Rhodes said he believes competitors like CNN, Fox News and MSNBC are reluc-tant to try something similar because po-
tential users would be put off by having to go through cable companies to use the service.
“If we make a go of this and it becomes a commercial success, I think you will see others try to get into it,” he said. “I think we would welcome that because it’s a validation of our strategy.”
While the network does not say how
many people use CBSN, Rhodes said he expected it will get more views Saturday night than ever before.
Usage tends to spike around major news events, he said. Oddly, the service has done well before, during and after previous presidential debates, which Rhodes found surprising considering CBSN did not stream them. The service
has offered ongoing discussions about the debates while they were happening with occasional highlights, and Rhodes speculated it appeals to cord-cutters who have no traditional TV service.
This Saturday, network executives an-ticipate CBSN will be used as a second screen for many people already watch-ing the debate on the broadcast network.
Garrett said he’ll be helping to curate the Twitter feed that will appear on the CBSN screen. “That’s part of the exper-iment,” he said. “Everyone associated with social media is trying to figure out - how do you make it meaningful and not just noisy?”
Because of social media, the “spin room” that existed after debates is now in operation while the event is still going on. Garrett will use the broadcast com-mercial breaks to show how campaign aides are trying to shape the stories.
Garrett, who worked at both CNN and Fox News Channel, had anticipated a more structured environment at CBS with newscasts in the morning and eve-ning broadcasts. CBSN takes him back to his cable days where there is much more time to fill; fewer commercials mean discussions can go even longer at CBSN.
His children - ages 20, 19 and 15 - pro-vide him with a daily reminder of the im-portance of CBSN. Their dad works in TV but they rarely see him there. They catch him in clips that are linked on so-cial media.
“The digital platform is essential for the fate of broadcast network news,” he said. “We have to be in that space.”
Film of Hitler Confidant set for Smithsonian Channel debutPIT TSBURGH (AP) ‑
American television view-ers get their first chance to see and hear Adolf Hit-ler’s inner circle describe the dictator’s final hours in filmed interviews when “The Day Hitler Died” pre-mieres on the Smithsonian Channel.
The documentary marks the first time viewers out-side Germany will see the filmed interviews by Mi-chael Musmanno, a Navy attorney who presided at one of the Nuremburg war crimes trials and later be-came a Pennsylvania Su-preme Court justice.
After the trials, Mus-manno spent more than two years tracking down witnesses and re-inter-viewing them on cam-era in 1948 to prove Hit-ler was dead, hoping to thwart rumors spawned when Soviet dictator Josef Stalin claimed Hitler had escaped his underground Berlin bunker.
“There can be no doubt that Adolf Hitler, the fuhrer of Germany, the master criminal of the world, the greatest gangster who ever disgraced the human race, is dead,” Musmanno says, concluding the interviews.
The films “give you a sense of what they were thinking, why they were there, and why they would stay in the bunker,” said Thomas White, the archi-vist tasked with preserving the films at Duquesne Uni-
versity in Pittsburgh.“The Nazis were like the
generic villains of the 20th century, but that’s the real danger,” White said. “We tend to forget that some people found them charm-ing and how they got there and came to power.”
The interviews also viv-idly describe Hitler’s vola-tile moods as the Russian Red Army moved into Ber-lin in April 1945.
Buoyed by news that U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt died April 12, 1945, “Hitler went into a dance and congratulated himself as if he had him-self had brought about this event,” Hitler’s press attache, Heinz Lorenz, told Musmanno. “He ex-claimed, ‘This will mean I will win the war.’”
But 10 days later, Hitler’s mood permanently dark-ened upon learning one of his generals refused to lead a suicidal counter-at-tack with a rag-tag collec-tion of German army units.
“He collapsed and said, ‘It’s all over, and I’ll shoot myself,” Lorenz recalled.
But it would be eight days before Hitler would shoot himself alongside Eva Braun, the longtime mistress who took a poi-son capsule and died be-side Hitler the day after they were married.
In the meantime, the 16-room bunker - with its 12-foot thick concrete ceilings and walls some 30 feet be-
low ground - became a ma-cabre Neverland as Hit-ler’s confidants and staff awaited his suicide.
“After April 22, he talked about it constantly,” said Traudl Junge, the secretary to whom Hitler dictated his last will and testament.
Or, as German Army Ma-jor Baron von Loringhoven told Musmanno, “The bunker became a mortu-ary and the people in it liv-ing corpses.”
Musmanno wrote a book based on his inter-views, “Ten Days to Die,” published in 1950. But the films were lost for decades and became available for American viewing only two years ago.
Musmanno died in 1968 after a storied career in which he also represented on appeal Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, Italian anarchists some be-lieve were wrongfully ex-ecuted for a murderous Massachusetts shoe com-pany robbery in 1920.
Musmanno willed his many personal papers and the films to two nephews who have also since died, said Patricia Homer, Mus-manno’s great-niece, who now owns the films.
The nephews turned over the material to Duquesne, a Catholic school in the city where Musmanno was consid-ered an Italian-Ameri-can folk hero. At first, the school tried to re-create
Musmanno’s chambers before realizing the papers and other materials were not properly stored and were deteriorating.
The school had begun a decades-long effort to properly store and catalog the records when a Ger-man production company,
Spiegel TV, learned of the films in about 2007.
The resulting documen-tary, “Witnesses of Doom: The Lost Interviews,” aired in Germany in 2010, but the rights agreement kept Scottish-based Finestripe Productions from access-ing the films until 2013,
said White, the archivist.The money raised by
selling the documentary rights to the films is be-ing used to preserve them, White said.

West Virginia Uni-versity men’s golf head coach Sean Covich signed two golfers for the 2016-2017 season this week. Ty Olinger from North Cross High School in Blacksburg, Virginia and Etienne Papineau from Champlain St. Lawrence in St-Jean-sur-Riche-lieu, Quebec will join the Mountaineers for the next fall season.
“We are really excited to be adding these two young men to our pro-gram,” said Covich in an interview with WVUS-ports.com. “This will be our third recruiting class and we are in a great spot. Luckily we have balance on our roster with each class and are able to bring
in two strong players for next year trying to replace our seniors, Easton Ren-wick and Mason Short.”
Olinger will come to WVU as the fourth-best high school golfer in the state of Virginia, and the 155th best recruit in the class of 2016. The Blacks-burg-native has quite the list of accomplishments. He was the runner-up at the VISAA State Golf Tour-nament from 2013-2015. A number of top-10 finishes at junior and amateur golf tournaments in the state of Virginia also fill his re-sume. Olinger chose the Mountaineers over Elon, Radford and Seton Hall, and plans to major in busi-ness management while at West Virginia.
Papineau will join fel-low Canadian and cur-rent freshman phenom-ena Max Sear, on the
Mountaineer roster. Pap-ineau participated in three National Collegiate Championships in Can-ada, winning the 2015 title.
He earned All-Canadian honors in 2015, while win-ning and posting a num-ber of top finishes at junior and amateur tour-naments in Canada, such as the 2014 Quebec Ju-nior Provincial Match Play Championship and Que-bec Junior Boys Champi-onship. The soon-to-be sport management major selected WVU over Wash-ington State and Charlotte.
The current Mountain-eers are on hiatus for the winter, but will continue their season in the spring on Feb. 15 at the Presi-dent’s Day Challenge in Houston, Texas.
Covich signs two for next seasonmen’s golf

Tonight, the West Virginia University volleyball team is heading back to Texas to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
The Mountaineers are having a troubling season, losing their last 12 games in a row. Their most recent defeat was against the Iowa State Cyclones. The loss dropped their record to 5-19 for the season, and 0-11 in the Big 12.
Senior middle blocker Ca-leah Wells led the Mountain-
eers getting seven kills while sophomore outside hitter Morgan Montgomery and junior middle blocker Han-nah Shreve followed behind her, both getting six kills each.
Sophomore libero Gianna Gotterba was able to contrib-ute eight digs that night, and Roe helped getting six.
“I would like to see some more consistency,” said WVU head coach Reed Su-nahara in an interview with WVUSports.com. “We have good runs, but we can’t string them together. It’s something we are dedicated to in practice as we look to
improve each and every time we hit the court.”
Texas is having a pretty solid season, with a record of 13-12 for the season over-all, but only having a record 2-9 for their conference play. They are coming into this up-coming match off a 3-0 loss against Kansas State. The blowout had the set scores of 25-14, 25-18 and 25-20
Junior red shirt middle blocker Lauren Douglass led the Red Raiders, getting eight kills. Freshman outside hit-ter Sarah Redding contrib-uted seven, and senior mid-dle blocker Brianna Grant was able to get six. Senior
defensive specialist Carlie Foust led the team’s defense by contributing 21 digs, which was also the match high. Junior setter Margue-rite Grubb helped by getting 10 digs herself, and sopho-more libero Ashley Morgan followed behind her getting nine.
This match tonight will be the second time these teams have competed against each other this season. The first time they came together, the Mountaineers were un-able to keep up with the Red Raiders, and fell 3-0. The set scores of that match were 20-25, 19-25 and 20-25.
During that match, Mia Swanegan led WVU, getting 10 kills, while Montgomery and Wells both helped get-ting nine each. Gotterba led the defense getting 11 digs.
Texas Tech was led by Redding, who got 11 kills, and Lauren Douglass fol-lowed behind her getting nine. Foust contributed 10 digs to lead the defense.
“We did some things well,” Sunahara said. “We’re just making too many errors. We had way too many hitting errors.”
Montgomery has been an obvious leader of the Moun-taineers, consistently lead-
ing the team in kills match by match. She has a total of 266 kills so far this season, the team high, as well as getting the second highest amount of digs, which is 136.
Gotterba is WVU’s leading defender, managing 253 digs throughout the season.
Douglass is leading Texas Tech, contributing 250 kills for the season.
Foust is leading the Red Raiders defense, having a substantial amount of digs, earning 416 for the season.

One week after Jack El-liott’s last-minute hero-ics, the Mountaineers are ready to keep the momen-tum going.
The Mountaineers’ post-season hopes hinged on the regular season finale, resulting in a 3-2 victory over Northern Illinois on Elliott’s game-winner with 1:01 remaining.
Now they prepare for a new season, a win-or-go-home scenario in Akron Friday evening. The “sur-vive and advance” portion of WVU’s season continues for at least one more con-test, as the Mountaineers hope to secure a spot in the MAC Championship for the first time.
“Essentially, the slate has been wiped clean,” said se-nior Zak Leedom. “I think that we’re all thankful for that based off what’s hap-pened this year. I think we’re all excited to move forward and create a new slate, create a new journey and hopefully go on a little bit of a run.”
WVU has yet to defeat the Zips since joining the MAC in 2012, getting outscored 11-3 during the five meet-ings. A 2-0 loss in October adds to the team’s motiva-tion, another defeat high-lighted by miscues and un-fortunate bounces that have
plagued its season.“Against Akron I think we
really were the better team and kind of got a taste of our own medicine in that sense,” Leedom said. “We were the better team but just came up short on the result. Hopefully we can take our strategy from that game, put it back into use, do the same thing we did last time and get on the better side of the result this time.”
Elliott’s goal against Northern Illinois lifted the Mountaineers into the post-season, and they’re hoping to ride that momentum into the weekend. It showed the resilience of a team marred by bad luck and errors all season long.
It’s been the story of its season, but it’s onto Akron, the MAC’s regular season champion and the nation’s No. 10-ranked team.
Akron comes in off a 13-3-2 regular season, winning nine of its last 11 games. Its lone loss in that span came to No. 16 UCLA, including a 1-1 draw with Western Michigan that went into double overtime.
“Akron is a very good team,” said WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “Our plan is to attack them and go after them. This team has qualified for the post-season every single year over the last 10 years, so we’re looking forward to the challenge.”
The senior class wishes to
extend its collegiate careers one more game, hoping to raise the hardware at the end of the weekend. As the four seed and the last team in, they continue to cher-ish the long-shot chances placed upon them to com-
pete for the crown.Two conference wins
don’t symbolize what the Mountaineers are, accord-ing to the players. They’re a team hungry for more, hun-gry for a chance to make their mark despite all of the
odds stacked against them heading into Friday’s tilt.
“In a sense we’re kind of the underdog,” Leedom said. “We don’t really have anything to lose. I think we’re going to go out there and hopefully play like that.
But in our minds we have everything to lose. For me, this could be my last soccer game. For a lot of the guys it could be the last time we play together.”

wOMEN’S SOCCER
WVU kicks off NCAA Tournament against DuquesneBY CONNOR HICKS
SPORTS WRITER @dAILYATHENAEUM
The West Virginia Univer-sity women’s soccer team will open the NCAA Tourna-ment Friday night in Mor-gantown. The No. 4 Moun-taineers (16-2-1, 6-0-1) will play host to Duquesne (12-9-1, 5-5) in the first round at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.
The Mountaineers’ No. 2 seed is the highest in pro-gram history, and extended the program’s NCAA Tour-nament qualification streak to 16 games, which is the seventh-longest active streak in the country.
WVU holds a 22-game unbeaten streak at home, dating back to a loss to Duke in August of last year. That streak includes a dominant 5-0 win over Duquesne ear-lier this season.
The Dukes, who are fresh off an Atlantic-10 Con-ference championship, have won four straight and seven of their last nine in thanks to a weak conference schedule. Despite being the
conference champion, the Dukes might not possess the offensive talent to hang with the nation’s second-best defense and seventh-best offense, as was evi-dent in their Aug. 30 loss in Morgantown.
However, the stakes have been raised, with Duquesne posting their first winning record since 2009 and qualifying for their sec-ond NCAA Tournament in school history.
“West Virginia is a team we have a lot of experience playing. We have a lot of ex-perience playing on their field,” said Dukes head coach Al Alvine. “They’re a great team. They’ve been one of the top teams in the country the entire season. We will have a plan for that.”
When the teams met on Aug. 30, five different play-ers scored for the Moun-taineers, including all three starting forwards. Goals by Kailey Utley and Nia Gor-don in the first four min-utes resulted in four first half goals for West Virginia.
In addition to WVU’s
win earlier this season, the teams have met three out of the four years that Al-vine has been Duquesne’s head coach. The Mountain-eers took a 4-1 victory in 2014 and the teams tied 1-1 in 2012. All three matches were home games for West Virginia.
The Mountaineers are hoping to avoid another early exit from the tourna-ment, after being bounced
from the Big 12 tournament by No. 15 Texas Tech in the semifinals. The team has a history of postseason woes, being upset by Georgetown in penalty kicks last season in the first round and fall-ing to No. 1 seed Virginia Tech in the second round in 2013.
Despite West Virgin-ia’s constant regular sea-son success, the team has not reached the Sweet 16
since 2010, which resulted in a 4-0 loss to Boston Col-lege. The team’s best perfor-mance was in 2007, when they made it to the Elite Eight.
Coach Nikki Izzo-Brown is optimistic about the team’s chances as the No. 2 seed.
“We want to write a great story, and a special team can write a great story,” Izzo-Brown said. “I look for-
ward to following the cap-tains, our seniors and this team in our march through the NCAA Tournament.”
Should West Virginia acquire a first-round vic-tory, they would go on to play host to the winner of Washington State (14-5) and Northwestern (13-5-2). The Mountaineers could play host through the Sweet 16, which should be a spot of hope considering Izzo-Brown’s team is 10-0 at home this season, outscor-ing opponents 39-2.
The team is 164-33-17 all time at Dick Dlesk. The Mountaineer defense has posted eight of their thir-teen shutouts (which are third in the country) at home this season.
The Mountaineers take on Duquesne at 6 p.m. on Friday night at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. If planning on driving, fans are advised to park in the Natatorium lot before 6 p.m. to avoid parking conflicts with the basketball game.

The West Virginia Uni-versity rifle team will open its 2015 home slate this weekend against No. 9 Army. The No. 3 Moun-taineers (5-0, 3-0) fell two spots in this week’s poll, which was based on the ag-gregate scores of the twelve teams at the Akron Invita-tional this past weekend. Kentucky shot the high-est score in the nation and thus is the nation’s new No. 1 team.
This weekend will be the Mountaineers’ fourth Great American Rifle Con-ference match this season. West Virginia is averaging 4704.5 through its first five matches, beating oppo-nents by a remarkable av-erage of nearly 45 points per match.
Garrett Spurgeon leads the Mountaineers in scor-ing, with an 1178.5 aver-age, which places him as one of the top shooters in the country. Freshman Ginny Thrasher has also emerged as a crucial part of West Virginia’s team,
posting several near-per-fect scores in air rifle in just her first few matches with WVU.
West Point (1-3, 0-3) has a weak record, losing three matches to top ten GARC opponents.
The team has scored extremely low, not even breaking a 4650, which West Virginia has eas-ily accomplished in every match. In fact, the Black Knights’ highest score of 4642 is still 51 points lower than the Mountaineers’ lowest score of the year.
Army’s leading scorer,
senior Alyssa Gistl, has yet to break the 590 mark in air rifle; several Mountaineers have achieved that score in every match this season. Gistl’s younger brother, Alex, is also consistently a leading scorer for the team.
Historically, West Vir-ginia has had no prob-lem defeating the Black Knights, winning the match last year by 73. The Mountaineers’ 4714 score was their second-highest of the season and was three points short of the program record. Their 2383 score in air rifle tied a school and
NCAA record. WVU has already defeated two of the three teams that have beaten West Point this season.
After Army, the Moun-taineers will continue a four-match home stand against No. 7 Ohio State, No. 5 Alaska, and No. 15 Akron. The home stand will be split into two, with a nearly two month hiatus for the transition between semesters.
The team’s most difficult matchup will come in early February to conclude the season when WVU faces
No. 1 Kentucky at the WVU Rifle Range. The match will likely decide not only the GARC regular season champion, but which team will hold the top seed going into the NCAA champion-ships in March.
The No. 3 Mountaineers host No. 9 Army 8 a.m. to-morrow, at the WVU Rifle Range located behind the Coliseum. With a strong showing, the Mountain-eers could possibly earn back the top spot in the country.
No. 3 WVU makes home debut against West PointRIFLE
Press Virginia returns tonight against Northern Kentucky
BY DAVID STATMANASSOCIATE SPORTS EdITOR
@dJSTATMAN77
After reinvigorating Mountaineer Nation with Press Virginia, 25 wins and a run to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16, Bob Huggins and the West Virginia University men’s basketball team are back for another year, when they open the 2015-16 season tonight at 7 p.m. against the Northern Ken-tucky Norse.
Last season was Hug-gins’ most successful at West Virginia since his memorable Final Four run in 2010, as the Moun-taineers shrugged off the bad mojo from two un-successful seasons and proved they could com-pete in the Big 12.
It might have been Huggins’ best coaching job of his storied career. But as the 62-year-old Morgantown native enters his ninth season with the Mountaineers and 34th season overall as a head coach, you won’t find him looking back too much at his old glories.
“It’s either (an achieve-ment) or stupidity,” Hug-gins said about the length of his tenure in basket-ball. “I’m not sure which one. I’ve been around the game my whole life, so it’s sort of second nature. I enjoy it. These guys are fun to be around and fun to coach. There are some challenges at times, but I’m still enjoying it.”
With 33 years and 765 victories under his belt, one could forgive Hug-gins for sitting back just a little bit. Instead, he and the Mountaineers are locked in on the begin-ning of their nonconfer-ence schedule against a Northern Kentucky team they beat by 25 on the road last season.
Tonight’s game is No. 1,077 for Huggins as a head coach, but on the
other side of the court, it’s Game No. 1 for brand-new Northern Kentucky coach John Brannen, a former assistant at VCU and Ala-bama getting his first-ever full-time collegiate head coaching job.
Brannen takes over af-ter the Norse fired pre-vious head coach Dave Bezold following a 13-17 campaign in 2014-15. With a new coach comes a new style, limit-ing the amount of infor-mation the Mountaineers can take away from their 25-point win last season.
Many of the same play-ers that suited up for Northern Kentucky last year will be on the court again this year, however, so the Mountaineers will just do what they always do: bring the energy.
“We just have to put pressure on them,” said junior guard Tarik Phil-lip. “Coach is always tell-ing us to make one per-son guard two people. It’s tough for somebody to do that, so we just have to put the defense in situations that they’re not used to being in.”
After scoring 20 points and handing out seven assists, sophomore guard Daxter Miles appears ready to take on a big-ger role as an offensive threat after the departure of guards Juwan Staten and Gary Browne. To-night, he’ll get the chance to show his stuff.
“Every game is an op-portunity for somebody,” Miles said. “One night I may score a lot of points, the next game I may not. It can be anybody’s night. I’m just taking it one game at a time and playing the hardest and the best that I can.”
The West Virginia-Northern Kentucky sea-son opener will tip off at 7 p.m. tonight at the WVU Coliseum.

The Big 12 schedule is an absolute ringer for any team forced to face it. In teams like Baylor, Oklahoma State and TCU, you know what you’re getting: some of the best and most prolific squads in the entire country.
Playing teams like that is bad enough. But tomorrow, the West Virginia University football team will face an en-tirely different challenge: the young, talented, hard-nosed and almost entirely unpre-dictable Texas Longhorns.
These are not your father’s Longhorns – although they do play like them a little.
Charlie Strong’s Texas squad is not the national power they used to be, but their hard-running style is a change of pace from what West Virginia has gotten used to in recent weeks.
“The last four weeks have been pass-first,” said defen-sive coordinator Tony Gibson. “This is a whole different en-emy. They like to get big, play fullbacks, run the football and use tight ends for blocking. They have big backs: (John
Gray) is 215 pounds and (D’Onta Foreman) is about 240. It’s a whole different sys-tem for us to get ready for and simulate in practice.”
Texas runs the ball two-thirds of the time, and they have the personnel to do it. The running back duo of se-nior John Gray and the pow-erful D’Onta Foreman has been impressive, although the pass game has been non-existent as Texas’ peak-and-valley season has left it at 4-5.
Freshman quarterback Jerrod Heard seized the start-ing job from veteran Tyrone Swoopes early in the sea-son, and he’s primarily been a running quarterback in an offense that can sometimes remind one of the long-gone days of Darrell Royal and the wishbone offense.
Swoopes may have been relegated to a backup role, but he still has a role to play: as the engine of the power-run-ning “18-Wheeler” forma-tion, that saw him smash in four touchdowns in Texas’ 59-20 win over Kansas last week.
Heard and Swoopes are both running quarterbacks, but they bring different styles to the field: Heard is a lighter, quicker, shiftier runner, while
Swoopes is all power, no sub-tlety. West Virginia will get a look at both Saturday, but the Mountaineers’ defen-sive front isn’t fretting about the distinct looks the two will bring.
“I think they’re very simi-lar,” said defensive line coach Bruce Tall. “Sometimes when teams use two quarterbacks, there’s a big difference, so you call different plays for differ-ent guys. I feel like their of-fensive coordinator (wide re-ceiver coach and play-caller Jay Norvell) feels comfortable calling whatever he wants to call, regardless of whoever’s in.”
On Saturday, the onus will be put on West Virginia’s de-fensive front, sparing a bat-tered secondary – the men up front will need to turn it around, as they currently rank 82nd in the nation in rushing defense.
For the first time in months, West Virginia has a little momentum on its side. The Mountaineers finally re-corded their first Big 12 win of the season last week in a 31-26 squeaker over Texas Tech, stopping a four-game losing streak.
Texas Tech appeared, on
paper, to be the toughest test West Virginia had remaining on the schedule, potentially setting it up for a very strong finish. Still, they’ll need to be on the lookout for a Texas team that isn’t as bad as its 4-5 record.
The Longhorns stunned a conference contender in Oklahoma, and were two fluke special teams errors from wins over Oklahoma State and Cal – but this same team was shut out 24-0 by a bottom-feeding Iowa State squad, illustrating Texas’ wild unpredictability.
And on Saturday, all West Virginia wants is its first-ever win over Texas in Morgantown.
“I remember two years ago, I played probably one of the best games I’ve ever played here,” said senior safety KJ Dillon. “I played so hard that I ended up having to go to the hospital after the game. That night means so much to me because of what I went through. I’m trying to do the same thing this game, except I don’t want to go to the hospital. I want to go out there and win.”

If there are any words to describe what the upcom-ing season could mean for West Virginia University women’s basketball head coach Mike Carey, “event-ful” and “exciting” could sum it up.
Carey, who is enter-ing his 15th year as head coach, looks to set the WVU program record for most wins by a head coach. He currently sits four wins back of the all-time mark, which is 301 wins set by Kittie Blakemore.
It took Blakemore 19 seasons to reach her ca-reer total of 301 and a win-ning percentage of .584. Carey is about to not only be the winningest head coach in Morgantown, he will also be the fastest to get there. The Clarksburg, West Virginia native holds a .638 winning percentage in his tenure, only having one losing season, a sea-son where the Mountain-eers finished one win short of .500.
However, with the ex-citement of the upcom-ing chance at breaking the record, Carey isn’t fo-cused on that. Instead, he is focused on getting his 11 newcomers into the groove and ready for the season, as well as expecting a new look for himself.
“I’m glad we are doing this media day right now, before the season starts,”
Carey said in early October. “After the season, I may be sitting up here with no hair or look totally different.”
Carey has been using practice as the time to get the new players acclimated with his system of play. He wasted no time leading up to the “Haunted Hoops” exhibition game against Shepherd, as he ran full practices for three consec-utive weeks.
“Practice time is so im-portant this time of year,” Carey said to wvusports.com. “We have eight fresh-men and three players in the system for the first time. At times, we look very hard, and at times we don’t know what we’re doing. We’ll continue to get bet-ter as the year goes along.”
After the 89-44 win over Shepherd, coach Carey had mixed feelings about the team’s performance, even after his squad dominated the game. He wanted to fo-cus on the team executing properly at each end.
“I saw some good things and I saw some things we need to work on,” Carey said. “It’s a work in prog-ress, and we have a long way to go.”
A work in progress is the right way to summarize the first chapter in the team’s early stages of its season. Carey has been pleased with the effort shown by all players and believes the team will continue to get better.
One aspect of the game he still hopes the team
can learn better is play-ing tougher on defense. The Mountaineers had 12 blocks and 16 steals against Shepherd and forced the Rams to turn the ball over 24 times. Carey praised that aspect of their game; how-ever, in general, he wants them to get used to being independent.
Carey is counting down the days until the point where the team becomes comfortable enough that they won’t make simple mistakes.
“A lot of the time, when players think too much they’re not reacting,” Carey said. “They are standing around, they’re not getting to the ball, and they’re not talking because they are thinking about what they are supposed to do.”
The minor issues sur-rounding Carey’s team are things that he’s encoun-tered with new players his whole career. Given that half the team are freshmen, Carey and the Mountain-eers look to have depth for the upcoming years.
The potential in the new-comers is sky-high, espe-cially for transfer forward Arielle Roberson and fresh-man guard Katrina Pardee, who will both make a run for starting roster spots. Time will tell, but once the Mountaineers become comfortable in Carey’s sys-tem, this may be just an-other issue that Carey hur-dled in his career.
West Virginia tips off season against Delaware StWomen’s basketball
BY ROGER TURNERSPORTS WRITER
@DAILYATHENAEUM
The West Virginia Univer-sity women’s basketball team tips off the 2015-16 season on Saturday at 7 p.m., when the Mountaineers host Delaware State in the WVU Coliseum.
West Virginia enters this season with 11 new players, and only two returning start-ers from last year’s team. A season ago, WVU finished with a 23-15 record, and was the runner-up in the Wom-en’s National Invitational Tournament. However, head coach Mike Carey’s group of Mountaineers come into Sat-urday’s game as the sixth-youngest team in the coun-try and have a long way to go if they want to measure up to
last year’s team.Saturday marks the first test
for the inexperienced team ready to take the court for its first regular season game. Up to this point, the Moun-taineers have found winning ground over the summer and in the team’s season-opening exhibition game. The wom-en’s team traveled overseas this summer to face teams out of London, Barcelona and Madrid, and went 4-0 during the trip. Competition overseas gave WVU a much-needed opportunity to build teamwork, and also allowed Carey to implement a strategy for the upcoming season.
“I think the European trip helped simply because we had 10 days of practice lead-ing into that trip to imple-ment our concepts, philos-
ophy, and some of the drills that we do,” Carey said.
The NCAA permits a school to participate in over-seas competition during the summer every four years, and every year WVU has com-peted in an overseas trip, the Mountaineer women’s team has reached the NCAA Tournament.
On Halloween, WVU won its exhibition game against Shepherd University 89-48 in the fourth annual Haunted Hoops game at the Coliseum. Of the eight freshmen on this year’s roster, two guards, who Carey expects to step up big in their first year on campus, offered a significant boost off the bench.
“We need immediate help from Alexis Brewer, Katrina Pardee, Tynice Martin, and
Anja Martin,” Carey said. “It would be nice for them to come in and sit behind peo-ple, but we don’t have that luxury because we have a lot of new players.”
Brewer and Pardee will be called on to replace the vet-erans that departed from last year’s team.
The West Virginia wom-en’s biggest asset returns in the high-scoring Bria Holmes, as well as center Lanay Mont-gomery, who gives the Moun-taineers a presence in the paint. The 6-foot-5 Montgom-ery led the Big 12 Conference last season in blocked shots, and also ranked fifth in the conference in rebounding. Montgomery’s four points per contest exemplified her lack of offensive effectiveness last year, but coming into this sea-son Carey sees no limit for his senior center.
“Hard work does pay off,” Carey said. “She’s a perfect ex-ample of someone who got in the gym this summer and was determined to get better, and she got better.”
Sophomore Teana Muld-row, who provided valu-able minutes off the bench as a freshman, may have to serve time as Montgomery’s backup this season following the season-ending ACL injury suffered by Kayla Montgom-
ery this preseason.All Big-12 First Team se-
lection Bria Holmes returns as the Mountaineers’ leading scorer and only certain of-fensive threat entering 2015-16. Last season, Holmes ac-counted for nearly 30 percent of WVU’s points, which cur-rently puts her 17th on the WVU all-time scoring list.
“I think Bria Holmes will go down as one of the best players to ever play at WVU,” Carey said. “There are some things she’s got to do for us like getting on the boards and improving her shooting per-centage. She spent this sum-mer working on that. I think she’s going to have a great year.”
This season the Mountain-eers possess explosive weap-ons on offense, as the major-ity of this year’s players can score from any position. Sat-urday’s test against Delaware State will give an indication of just how ready Carey’s team is for what looks to be a defining season for this year’s women’s basketball team.

A little over a year ago, everything seemed to be falling apart for the West Virginia University men’s basketball team and storied head coach Bob Huggins.
Two of its top players transferred: Eron Harris to Tom Izzo’s Michigan State and Terry Henderson to NC State. The best seemed to be in the rear-view mirror.
Huggins and WVU failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament in 2013 and 2014, going a combined 30-35 and managing to make the NIT once in 2014 - but that resulted in a 77-65 first round defeat to Georgetown.
Juwan Staten returned as the one notable player, en-tering the 2015 campaign as the Preseason Big 12 Player of the Year. He remained the team’s only hope after aver-aging 18 points per game as a junior.
WVU was picked to fin-ish ninth in the Big 12’s preseason poll by Sporting News.
With Harris and Hender-son leaving, many began to question Huggins and won-dered if he was the right fit to coach WVU despite his vaunted Final Four run in 2010, the school’s first since Jerry West’s days in 1959.
Harris averaged 17.9 points per game, and Hen-derson averaged 11.7 points a game in 2014. With the scoring tandem parting
ways and looking elsewhere for school, Mountaineer basketball appeared to be the laughingstock of the Big 12.
However, Huggins had an answer. It’s known as Press Virginia.
Mountaineer basketball was back. The Coliseum was buzzing once again in 2015. The Mountaineers were back in March Mad-ness; it only took a team and a coach to believe in a system.
Freshmen Jevon Carter, Elijah Macon and Daxter Miles came to Morgantown as just another recruiting class. Sophomore Devin Williams became a force inside. Everyone worked as one cohesive unit. Seniors Gary Browne and Juwan Staten emitted leadership in the biggest of situations.
It all became a team ef-fort once again under Hug-gins. It all took off.
“They come every day with great attitudes,” Hug-gins said. “They come ev-ery day with a great enthusi-asm. I think they taught our coaching staff how much fun it is to have guys that care and guys that really enjoy basketball. They play basketball because they love playing basketball. They don’t play basketball for other reasons. They play because they love to play.”
They led the nation in steals, turnover margin and offensive rebounds. They were once an afterthought, then they quickly became a commodity on the basket-
ball court.A 25-10 record, tying for
fourth place with Baylor in the Big 12 and a five-seed in the NCAA Tournament showed that Huggins was still an elite coach. He got a team to believe in one cen-tral idea, an idea that re-volved around tenacious defense and teamwork.
Huggins and the Moun-taineers were back.
Now they all return, ex-cept for Gary Browne and Juwan Staten. They’re all ea-ger for more, confident they can advance past the Sweet 16 and make it to the Final Four.
One sign in the team’s practice facility reads “2016 National Champs.” WVU basketball is again becom-ing a spectacle under Hug-gins, with a team exuding an unusual confidence that only the elite possess.
Houston, the site of this year’s Final Four, remains the goal. It’s what they’ve preached since 2015 came to a halt, ended by an em-barrassing 78-39 drubbing from Kentucky.
It’s onto more for the confident and talented bunch. Five Sweet 16 ap-pearances since 2005 aren’t enough; they’re hungry for more. With Huggins as the leader, the odds are stacked in their favor.
“Last year was a fun ride, but it just didn’t last long enough,” Huggins said. “We’re kind of hell-bent on making it last a lot longer.”
Huggins has revitalized WVU with heart, teamwork and defense

After sweeping the Moun-taineer Quad last weekend, the West Virginia University wrestling team hits the road to take on Michigan, Buffalo and Oregon State at the North-east Duals in Troy, New York, on Sunday.
Last Sunday, the No. 19 Mountaineers defeated Drexel 26-7, Campbell 26-14 and Arizona State 22-14.
Head coach Sammie Hen-son was happy with last week-end’s results, but he’s not dwelling on the hot start to the season.
“Nothing changes. I was pleasantly surprised with how our guys competed and how they never gave up no matter what,” Henson said. “Some of the outcomes didn’t go out our way, but they competed. There really was no point where I thought that our guys didn’t give everything that they had.”
Michigan, competing in its first match of the season, is ranked third in the National Wrestling Coaches Associa-tion Poll. Oregon State has not competed yet, but is ranked No. 20. Buffalo is unranked but won both of its matches last weekend in the Terrapin Duals.
To be successful again this weekend, Henson wants to see some improvement from his team.
“We’ve got a lot of work to do on top, finishing take-downs and little technical
things that we can get bet-ter on,” Henson said. “We’re not finishing our attacks and we’re not getting to our at-tacks as much as I’d like to. When people get to our legs, we’re having trouble.”
However, Henson was not expecting his team to be per-fect last weekend.
“Those are little things that we need to work on, but you never know until you wrestle somebody different. We’ve been wrestling each other for a month now, so it’s tough to figure out where you’re at.”
This is the second straight Sunday in which West Vir-ginia is facing multiple oppo-nents on the same day. Most matches are against a single opponent, and preparing for more than one opponent on the same day is not a simple task.
“Always. Scouting-wise, it’s tougher. What you do is you prepare for the best guy in the country and that way you’re ready for anyone,” Henson said. “We scout the guys, we do a lot of video, and then we prepare for them individually. Really, what we’re working on is being prepared for the best guys in the country, the top 10 percent in the nation. If you do that, you’re going to take care of the rest.”
West Virginia begins the day at 11:15 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 15 with the Michigan match, followed by Buffalo at 1:15 p.m. and concludes the Northeast Duals against Ore-gon State at 3:15 p.m.

Today at noon, the West Vir-ginia University women’s cross country team competes at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional in Princeton, New Jersey.
The Mountaineers have not yet qualified as a team to make it to the NCAA Cross Coun-try Championship on Nov. 21. At last year’s Mid-Atlantic Re-gional, West Virginia took sec-ond place to automatically qualify for the NCAA Champi-onship. The Mountaineers will need a similar performance today.
“Competing at our peak at the NCAA Regional Champi-onship has been a goal of ours all season,” said head coach Sean Cleary. “On Friday, when we line up for the first round of the NCAA Regional, we will do so with the single goal of qual-ifying for the final in Louisville the following week.”
Two weeks ago at the Big 12 Championship, West Virginia finished second out of ten teams. Now, the Mountaineers have had two weeks to prepare for the Mid-Atlantic Regional.
“It’s opportunity to get bet-ter for the next race by sharp-ening your mind and sharpen-ing your body,” said sophomore Millie Paladino on the two week gap between races. “I think our whole team at this point is hop-ing for a big jump. We have so much potential and we just want to see that on the course.”
At the Mid-Atlantic Regional,
West Virginia will go up against ranked opponents No. 10 Penn State, No. 14 Georgetown, No. 23 Princ-eton, and No. 26 Villanova. The Mountaineers began the season ranked higher than or equal to all of these teams, but now find them-selves outside of the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches As-sociation Poll.
“We may not have been perfect during the regular season, but we did put our-selves in there with a chance to move on,” Cleary said. “So many things through-out the year for every team in the NCAA will impact the at large bids into Nationals.”
It has been an up and down season for the Moun-taineers. There have been highs, like winning the blue race at Greater Louisville Classic on Oct. 3rd, but there have also been lows, such as finishing 27th out of 36 teams at the Wisconsin Adi-das Invitational on Oct. 16th. Today’s race could be the fi-nal competition of the 2015 season.
“We have two choices; go out there on Friday and run the very best that we can and let the automatic bid or at large bid come our way, or not take advantage of this opportunity and sit home. We have seven women that will be on the line,” Cleary said.
