On November 10, 1817, Donnally and the Steeles with 16 other producers created the Kanawha Salt Company to control production and marketing for all involved. The idea was to raise prices by limiting production.

“Hack the Gender Gap: A Women’s Hackathon on Diversifying AI” begins in Media Innovation Center BY KAYLA GAGNON STAFF WRITER

The third annual Women’s Hackathon kicked off in the Media Innovation Center on Thursday. All-women participants from across the country will be represented at the Hackathon, which has an artificial intelligence, or AI, theme. The event began Thursday night with a symposium on AI’s diversity issue. The Hackathon begins Friday with the participants breaking into teams and brainstorming solutions for problems in society when using AI. The participants will present their ideas to the judges on Saturday, and the winning team will be announced then. Hannah Booth, the special events coordinator at the Media Innovation Center, said, “We have a mix of WVU students, and we also have people coming in from SUNY, University of Nevada Reno, University of Texas Austin, and Kansas State, as well as a few other schools.” The winning teams will have their AI concept featured on MediaShift’s website, which shares stories on how

Students sit and listen at the Hack the Gender Gap event in the Media Innovation Center at Evansdale Crossing. media is evolving, and has been in partnership with the Reed College of Media’s Hackathon since 2014.

MediaShift executive director and founder, Mark Glaser, said, “It gives students a chance to create something

special over a weekend with smart students from other schools, faculty and great mentors.”

“Artificial intelligence is increasingly more important in tech and media, but there is a diversity problem if it’s being

built largely by white males,” Glaser said. Glaser hopes that the Hackathon will help solve the problem with diversity in tech and media. Dana Coester, creative director for the Innovation Center, said that the event was created in response to the 2014 “Gamergate” controversy, when women in the gaming industry were allegedly harassed. “[Gamergate] helped to surface the conversation about gender inequality in technology industries,” Coeter said. The teams of participants will be assisted by mentors, who are staff and faculty members from WVU, Ohio University, University of Southern California and Kent State University. There will also be mentors from Frenzy, an AI startup. The judges for the Hackathon are experts in media, technology and entrepreneurship. “When the teams think through complex problem solving using new technology, they begin their expertise in a new arena, this is especially important for women, or others who are underrepresented in technology industries,” Coester said.

Steve Riffon welcomed to WVU Office of Veterans Affairs as interim director BY GEORGIA BEATTY STAFF WRITER

The WVU Office of Veterans Affairs welcomed a new interim director this week. Steve Riffon, a former United States Air Force captain from Morgantown, assumed the position on Nov. 1. After retiring from his role as WVU’s assistant director of financial aid in 2015, Riffon had no plans to return to the University. That changed two weeks ago, when Dean Corey Farris of student life rang up Riffon with the job offer. “For veterans and for Dean Farris, I’ll come back,’” Riffon said. “I was amazed at how many people emailed me and said welcome back… I didn’t know I was that kind of guy. I thought I was more of an ‘out of sight, out of mind’ guy, so I really appreciated that.” Riffon enlisted for the military in 1975 with intentions to serve his country and obtain the GI Bill of Rights,

Former Air Force captain Steve Riffon, left, will resume his duties at WVU as the Office of Veteran’s Affairs interim director. U.S. legislation passed in 1944 that provided benefits

to WWII veterans. An involuntary extension added two

years onto his enlistment, but by 1981, Riffon was a

Mountaineer. “I almost didn’t start [college],” Riffon said. The prospect of immediately finding a job and bypassing a higher education was tempting, but he ultimately overcame his panic. A four-year controlled tour, a brief teaching stint at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, and several other Air Force bases later, Riffon found himself working at the University by 2001. Though his time in the Office of Veterans Affairs has been short-lived thus far, Riffon feels he understands their primary mission: to take strong care of the veterans. “Veterans face a lot of demands, even in peacetime. They spend anywhere from a few days away from home to a year and half,” Riffon said. “There is a lot of sacrifice. We have to give them the best possible service.” For incoming veterans qualified for benefits, the office first ensures benefits will apply and that the classes the

veteran takes are degree-specific. Veterans who don’t take so many degree-specific classes in a semester will be denied benefits according to the GI Bill. The office also hosts the Military to Mountaineer Mentor Program to assist veterans transitioning to student life. The program consists of several sessions that include team-building, community service and diversity-centric activities. Work studies and academic help resources are offered by the office, as well. Riffon is now head of all these efforts and manages 925 veteran benefit-receiving students. “They [veterans] can stop by anytime; I have an open door policy, and I’d like to meet them all,” Riffon said. “I’d tell them persistance pays off, and to fight the good fight.”

Morgantown community groups to host screening of Netflix documentary “Heroin(e)” BY JORDYN JOHNSON CORRESPONDANT

On Thursday, Nov. 16, the West Virginia University School of Public Health, Milan Puskar Health Right, the Monongalia County Health Department, WVU Collegiate Recovery Program and the WVU Student Government Association will be hosting a free public screening of the Netflix documentary “Heroin(e)”. The screening will take place at the Metropolitan Theatre on High Street in downtown Morgantown at 6 p.m. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. Heroine(e) follows the daily activities of three women in Huntington, West Virginia, who are trying to combat the heroin problem in the city. Huntington has been deemed the “epicenter of America’s modern opioid epidemic, with an overdose rate 10 times the national average” according to the film. Jan Rader, Huntington fire chief, spends nearly every day of her job working to save those who have overdosed; Patricia Keller, a judge, presides over the drug court in Huntington and deals with addicts facing drug charges; Necia Freeman is from the Brown Bag Ministry an organization that gives free meals to women in Huntington who have turned to prostitution for drugs. “Heroin(e)” was directed by West Virginia native and WVU alumna Elaine Sheldon. “I’ve been wanting to tell a story about this topic for a while,” Sheldon told WSAZ, a Charleston-based news station that covers West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky.

The Netflix documentary “Heroin(e)” centers around three women attempting to combat the heroin epidemic in Huntington, West Virginia. “It’s not a film about heroin. It’s a film about three women who are working their hardest to change Huntington.” Following the film a panel discussion, as well as audience questions, will take place, moderated by dean of the School of Public Health Dr. Jeffrey Coben. The panel will be comprised of representatives from WVU as well as local professionals who are working on the opioid problems in Morgantown. Panelists will include di-

rector Sheldon; Laura Jones, director of Milan Puskar Health Right; Dr. James Berry, WVU associate professor and director of addictions and medical director of WVU Medicine’s Department of Behavioral Medicine and Psychiatry; Dr. Cathy Yura, director of the WVU Collegiate Recovery Program; and Edward Preston, Chief of Police in Morgantown. “We’re passionate about telling these stories we feel are under-represented in the

national media,” Sheldon told WSAZ. “Filmmaking and West Virginia are two of my favorite things. I feel blessed that I’m able to do this.” Coben says the event was planned in inspiration of the document itself. “While the documentary focuses on efforts in Huntington, this problem affects all of our communities, including Morgantown,” Coben said. “WVU is a large part of the Morgantown community, and we are please that School of Public

Health can play a role in the community conversation.” Coben thinks that a “community-focused event like this” can show Morgantown the resources for addiction that are being put into place by the various groups involved. The opioid problem while not nearly as critical as Huntington, still affects the Morgantown community. “It’s true that on a per capita basis this problem, like many other public health problems, dis-

proportionately affects certain communities and populations,” Coben said. “We believe that the underlying social and economic conditions, what we call the social determinants of health, are largely responsible for creating these disparities,” Coben said. “This is why it’s so important that we focus not just on health or on healthcare, but also on job creation and educational programs that provide people with hope, purpose and the opportunity to attain a brighter future for themselves and their families.” There are many ways the Morgantown and WVU communities can come together to fight opioid-related problems in the city. “We are already working together in many ways,” Coben said. “The School of Public Health’s Injury Control Research Center was instrumental in providing training and support for police and other first responder statewide, including Morgantown, in the use of naloxone to prevent overdose deaths.” Another program that helps with community issues is the “Safe Communities” program. It is the only program in the nation that involves a university, city and county collaboration to find and discuss issues that could impact Morgantown citizens. WVU students and faculty have also been working with Milan Puskar Health Right and the Monongalia County Health Department to support agencies like “Safe Communities”. “I’m hopeful this event will shed light on some of these efforts and new opportunities to collaborate,” Coben said.

WVU student to release EP inspired by childhood, heritage BY EMILY ZEKONIS CULTURE EDITOR WVU student, Marissa Bailey, nearly began to sing before she could talk, and now Mon Hills Records is giving her the chance to share her passion with music lovers everywhere. Bailey’s musical experience dates back to her childhood in Clarksburg, West Virginia, where she sings at her church, All Saints, and performed as part of the Italian Heritage Festival. Her performance experience truly took shape in high school when she took the stage in a variety of musical theater productions.

“I’ve taken singing lessons my whole life,” Bailey said. “It was this whole bunch of experience that made me wanna do Mountaineer Idol my freshman year.” After seeing the competition advertised on Twitter, Bailey entered the competition to continue her performance experience. Supported by her family week by week, Bailey made it to the finale. “I got first runner-up,” Bailey said. “The man who won it didn’t want the recording contract, so it fell to me.” The year Bailey won runner-up was the first year the competition offered an EP recording contract with Mon Hills to the winner of the competition, which is still

awarded in the competition today. Mon Hills Records is WVU’s independent record label company, run by many of the students in the music industry program through the College of Creative Arts. Bailey partnered with Andrew Ayecoth to write and produce five songs in a bluegrass style to be sent to Mon Hills, taking nearly two years to complete. The project went dormant, until this year when a new graduate student took charge. “They emailed me at the beginning of this year and said ‘we really like your sound and you’re still signed with us, but we don’t think these songs are really your style’,” Bailey said.

Bailey was asked to select new songs that reflected who she was as a performer. Each song would be spun to create an original version, showcasing her talent and personal sound as an artist. “I have a really strong Italian heritage and background with my family, and also really like the broadway style,” Bailey said. “I’m trying to figure out a way to mix my favorite Italian songs with my favorites from the broadway genre to show who I am as a singer.” The EP process is just picking up for Bailey. Song choices are being narrowed down, instrumentalists are being selected and photoshoots are being planned, all with the hope of a holiday

digital release date. When Bailey is not working on her EP, she is busy working on her two undergraduate degrees in musical theater and public relations. She was also recently seen in the College of Creative Arts production of “Assassins as Squeaky Fromme.” “With the dual-major it’s really about time management,” Bailey said. “I have a planner so I schedule everything in that, but it keeps me occupied doing positive things that I like to do.” With only two and a half semesters left at WVU Bailey is already looking at plans for the future. Her current plan includes attending law school. “I am juggling between

two dreams right now,” Bailey said. “One would be to take a year off and got to New York to try that out while I apply to law school. The other would be to go straight into law school.” Bailey is currently looking into entertainment law to bring together her passions. “I am new to the EP recording, but I’m interested to get into the studio atmosphere,” Bailey said. “With the new management, I am excited for it to be a fast-track process and to hopefully get this out by Christmas time.” For more information on Mon Hills Records, and other signed artists, visit http:// monhillsrecords.com.

OPINION Retail discrimination: it’s real and could happen to you BY KAMERON DUNCAN OPINION EDITOR

Vacations are supposed to be fun, stress free experiences. A chance to get away from the trappings of everyday life and enjoy a getaway, even for a short time. It should go without saying that being discriminated against shouldn’t be part of your journey. Unfortunately, that is the reality for far too many travellers and shoppers in our country. Racism, sexism and homophobia is often an ugly reality in America, and that reality can permeate several aspects of life, including something as simple and benign as shopping. There are dozens of stories on a yearly basis of shoppers being followed or even accosted in stores due to their clothes or the color of their skin. Even the famous and wealthy among us aren’t exempt from it. In 2015, John Henson of the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team was allegedly racially profiled in a Milwaukee, Wisconson jewelry store. Henson, who is black, said that store employees literally ran away from him when he approached the storefront, according to USA Today. “Went to @schwankekasten jewelry today in WhiteFish Bay during regular business hours. They locked the door and told me to go away.

Walmart’s flow of customers is only going to increase with the upcoming holiday season. After I rang the doorbell twice everyone went to the back. No answered the door or told me what was going on,” Henson wrote in an Instagram post de-

tailing the situation. “This was one of the most degrading and racially prejudiced things I’ve ever experienced in life and wouldn’t wish

Letter to the editor Dear Editor,

Culturas WVU is a growing organization here on campus for Latinx, Hispanic students and allies. Our goal is to promote and foster social, cultural exchange amongst the West Virginia University community. We also aim to serve as a representative body for Hispanic and Latinx students, scholars and community members. With that being said, due to the recent political climate we have tried to increase our presence on campus in hopes to ensure some type of stability for students who feel jeopardized. Since the announcement of the removal of DACA made by President Trump, we have tried a couple things in order to make a change and make sure our legislators are involved in the decision for a clean Dream Act. The first thing we did was meet with a secretary in Senator Capito’s office. Two of our board

members alongside two fellow DACA supporters went to express our concerns and urge a clean Dream Act. We felt it was necessary to speak on behalf of our classmates, peers, even family members that have been and could be affected by this. The most recent thing we have done is meet outside of Representative McKinley’s office with members of Mountaineers for Progress and the American Civil Liberties Union in order to help promote a clean Dream Act. It’s vital that we are undivided on this subject and gain as many advocates as possible as this program directly affects 800,000 young adults. We are planning to have more events promoting this matter and hope to encourage others to help support the cause. We aim to serve as a sort of coordination center that can provide services and information for our hispanic, latinx students and community members that are wor-

this on anyone,” Henson said in the same post. AirBNB, an online lodging service, has had an unfortunate history of racially charged

incidents involving potential customers. The service allows homeowners to rent spaces to customers, often at lower prices than hotels.

The site recently settled a discrimination lawsuit levied against it in April, after allegations that its owners didn’t do enough to quell racial discrimination on the site. According to CNN, the suit was filed by a 25year old black man who felt he was unfairly treated by homeowners on the site. Johnna Herbig, a strategic communications student, says that discrimination based on race or any other factor is wrong, in her opinion. “I think it’s inappropriate,” said the Clarksburg, West Virginia native. “When companies open up they should know that they should sell to all people or no people at all. People have the right to their opinion but there are rules and regulations,” Herbig said. Herbig also feels that if a company she frequents is found to engage in discriminatory practices, she will no longer patronize their business. “We’re thankfully in a first world country and there are several companies doing the same thing,” Herbig said.“ For example, if I don’t have to use Walmart there are other places that sell the same items. It all comes down to basic human rights.” Those basic human rights should allow any of us, no matter our color or creed, the same level of service and respect from any business we choose to give our hard-earned money to.

Mom jeans and how “Stranger Things” is influencing fashion BY EMILY MATLOCK FASHION COLUMNIST

Colors and hairdos inspired by the 1980s were seen all over the runways this past September. From Ralph Lauren’s 1980s sports car inspired color palette to the structured and untamed hairdos seen at Gucci, it’s clear that the ‘80s are making a major comeback. Kim Wilcox took on the role as costume designer for the hit Netflix series “Stranger Things” for its second season. She tells eonline.com that the styles worn during the ‘80s in the small town of Hawkins, Indiana (where the show is set) were unpolished and not as glamourous as the population tends to believe. Whether Wilcox was styling Millie Bobby Brown’s character, Eleven, in soft plaid tops, or transforming Nancy Wheeler, played by Natalia Dyer, from a stressed-out teen to a confident young woman, a lot of thought was put into developing the characters’ personalities through their wardrobes. Mollie Cholden, a junior nursing student from West Chester, Pennsylvania, reveals that the hit show has influenced her fall style this year by making her reach for more denim when she’s shopping. “This fall I have worn a lot of skinny, high-waisted jeans and ‘mom’ jeans,” Cholden said. “This fall I have been really into jean jackets. I love that ‘80s fashion is coming back.” Today, the “Stranger Things” obsession is inspiring

“I’ll mimic the rust and tan tones that I see in the show because they’re great fall colors and are trendy for the season,” - Mollie Cholden, nursing student fashion-lovers across America. The fashion displayed in the show is nostalgic of a time when subdued color ruled the nation. “I’ll mimic the rust and tan tones that I see in the show because they’re great fall colors and are trendy for the season,” Cholden said. The ‘80s themed show makes denim-on-denim trendy again. However, the typical jean jacket has gotten an upgrade. Distressed, torn jackets are on trend this fall, adding a twist to the classic piece. “I really want to grab an oversized jean jacket,” said Hannah Wright, a junior political science and criminology student from Dayton, Ohio. “I think it would be super warm to layer and comfortable for everyday.” “I think ‘Stranger Things’ has such an influence because everyone watches it and can relate to the show,” Wright said. Wilcox reveals that masculinity in fashion adds an edge to the new characters in this season. Structured tops and dirty sneakers enhance the boyish vibe of the Midwestern 1980’s teen. While tom-boyish style has

been trending on runways season after season, there’s something about this Netflix hit that inspires designers and fashionistas to incorporate vintage pieces into their fall wardrobe. “Fashion in shows translate to everyday trends because the public wants to dress like their favorite show’s characters,” Cholden said. “And aspire to the lifestyle that they lead in the show.” While any Netflix binger can be influenced by his or her favorite characters, the cult behind “Stranger Things” brings a refreshing taste back into late fall. “Big flannels, converse sneakers and denim ‘mom’ jeans are essentials in my closet. There’s just something classic about a relaxed look, as we see in the show,” Wright said. The quintessential ‘80s look is here to stay for the rest of fall, and perhaps for future seasons of “Stranger Things.” Vintage pieces from this decade have shown up in runways throughout the past several seasons, and major fashion houses have shown buyers that what was once in trend can make a bigger, better comeback.

These adorable coats provide comfort and style, making it an essential item this season. 4.Add tan or baby blue accessories to complete the look. Scarves, mittens and cardigans inspired by the late ‘70s color palette brighten up neutral-toned looks.

BY KELSEY KINNAMON RELATIONSHIP COLUMNIST

The relationship between WVU students and the police Universities put a tremendous amount of emphasis on how their students feel about academics and athletics, but what about how students feel about safety? According to Bob Roberts, West Virginia University’s Chief of Police, the mission of the WVU Police Department’s is, “to enhance the quality of life in our community. The West Virginia University Police commit to preventing crime, preserving the peace and protecting lives and property by enforcing the laws our state in a just, impartial, and equitable manner.” However, this may be difficult to achieve if students are not educated about the police department and are unaware of how the department can help them. After interviewing a handful of students, it quickly became clear that the perception of campus security varies widely among the WVU student population. Maeve Schlichting, a sophomore Exercise Physiology student from Collingswood, New Jersey, responded “I wouldn’t even know how to,” when asked if she would feel comfortable calling campus security in an emergency or time of need. Those around her nodded in agreement and shared that they didn’t even know security was available at all times. Roberts recognized that

SAFETY TIPS - Put “ICE” (in case of emergencies) in your cell phone contacts, followed by who you want to be called in case of a medical emergency. - Download the LiveSafe app to have direct communication with WVU police through text, audio or picture. - Subscribe to WVU Alert to be notified of any emergencies on campus From WVU Police Safety Resources online

University Police answer student’s questions during a “Conversation with Cops” event in September. despite efforts to be engaged with the student body, some do still have reservation about reaching out. “We have cadets who are students and we have staff who work with the SGA and other groups,” Roberts said. This made me wonder if the relationship between student and security is rocky in everyone’s eyes. Further interviews brought me to realize that efforts of the police department to be

engaged have not gone fully unnoticed to everyone. Dylan Jordan, a junior athletic coaching education student from Annapolis, Maryland, said he feels complete ly comfortable with security and knowledge of what they can do. “I do know they are on call 24/7, and I would reach out if I felt the need,” Jordan said. “You never know what’s going to happen, so you have to be prepared.”

Lindsey Caldwell, a sophomore global supply chain management student from Bell, Pennsylvania, said that she also feels a high sense of comfort with security, but it wasn’t always that way. “The more I saw things in the news about incidents on campus, the more I realized I needed to be aware of what to do if I was ever in an unsafe situation,” Caldwell said. Caldwell added that she downloaded the LiveSafe app

this year and keeps it open if she is ever walking alone at night. The police department at WVU is available for more than just feeling protected at night. “While we provide security, we are a full service police department. Our officers attend the academy and are sworn police,” Roberts said. Shalyn Baylor, a junior elementary education student from Parkersburg, West Vir-

ginia, has witnessed the abilities of security first hand through her on campus job. “I lifeguard at the Rec Center, and I know that security has been called to manage several different things that have happened here, so they definitely do more than most people think,” Baylor said. “I think if more people realized that they are here for us, not just to get us in trouble, there would be a stronger relationship.” Out of all the relationships we have in our lives, the one we have with the people that are here to keep us safe is certainly not one to neglect.

WVU opens season in Germany against Texas A&M BY JOEL NORMAN SPORTS WRITER

MEN’S BASKETBALL The 2017-18 West Virginia University men’s basketball season begins 4,114 miles away from Morgantown, as the Mountaineers face Texas A&M in Ramstein-Miesenbach, Germany, in the Armed Forces Classic at 6 p.m. Friday. WVU, who is ranked 11th in the country, begins its 115th season with a matchup against a ranked foe. After a 16-15 record a year ago, Texas A&M enters the 2017-18 season ranked No. 25 in the AP poll. Despite the poor finish last season, the Aggies are picked by CBS Sports and Sports Illustrated to finish third and

fourth, respectively, in the SEC. Joe Lunardi of ESPN has Texas A&M as a No. 7 seed in his preseason “Bracketology” projection for the NCAA Tournament. The Aggies’ top returning player is All-SEC sophomore center Tyler Davis, who led the team with 14.1 points per game last season. However, Texas A&M could receive a boost from newcomers this season. Seven players graduated or transferred, and the Aggies replaced them with eight newcomers. Three of their projected starters (Savion Flagg, Duane Wilson and Jay Jay Chandler) were not with A&M last season. “They’re big, they’ve got big centers down there,” said WVU sophomore forward Lamont West. “We can’t let them get to

our body. We’ve just got to play hard, got to front them. We’ve got to out-rebound them.” Meanwhile, WVU is replacing six players and has four newcomers. The guard depth is thin, with only James Bolden and Chase Harler available as substitutes behind Jevon Carter and Daxter Miles Jr. However, WVU carries seven forwards for Friday’s game. The Mountaineers hope to frustrate the Aggies defensively as they have against many opponents for the last three seasons. Last season, WVU’s 89.4 adjusted defensive efficiency was the country’s fourth-best, according to kenpom.com. It was buoyed by the Mountaineers leading the nation with 10.38 steals per game and 20.0 turnovers forced per game.

However, WVU head coach Bob Huggins was unimpressed with his team’s defense and its feared press in Sunday’s closed-to-the-public scrimmage with Purdue. According to ESPN’s Jeff Goodman, Carter scored 37 points, but WVU lost, 89-77. A year after averaging 39 deflections per game by Huggins’ estimation, the Mountaineers must be similarly successful this year. “I found out it sucks,” Huggins said. “Twenty-one deflections and 11 by one guy, that’s not much of a press.” Huggins said that Carter was responsible for those 11 deflections. The Aggies and the Mountaineers met last season in the Big 12/SEC Challenge on Jan. 28 at the WVU Coliseum. WVU led by as many as 20 points a

minute into the second half, but Texas A&M used a 46-28 run to cut the deficit to two points before WVU escaped with an 81-77 victory. Carter remembers it well. “We almost blew the game,” Carter said. “That’s what I remember most. I know we had a lead on them and had a few mistakes at the end that almost cost us the game.” Both teams will be without regular starters from last season. WVU junior forward Esa Ahmad is suspended for the first half of the season for not meeting NCAA eligibility requirements. The Aggies will be without the services of sophomore forward Robert Williams, who is suspended for the first two games of this season for violation of U niversity policy.

WVU men’s basketball preview: Press Virginia BY PATRICK KOTNIK ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

MEN’S BASKETBALL West Virginia officially tips off its season Friday against Texas A&M in Ramstein-Miesenbach, Germany. The Daily Athenaeum’s 201718 West Virginia University men’s basketball season preview wraps up today with an in-depth look at one of the team’s signature styles of play: Press Virginia. Head Coach Bob Huggins first implemented the press defense during the 2014-2015 season. Since then, the press has become a vital part to the team’s success, earning the nickname “Press Virginia”. The press defense helped the Mountaineers lead the country in steals per game (10)

and forced turnovers per game (20) last season. This year, West Virginia will feature the press again, but questions will arise: How effective will it be? Will it be used all game long? Missing Pieces: West Virginia lost six players from last year’s team that made it to the Sweet 16. Two of those players were seniors Nathan Adrian and Tarik Phillip who combined for 111 steals last season and played key roles in West Virginia’s press defense. As far as replacing Adrian’s role at the top of the press goes, Huggins will look upon sophomore forwards Lamont West, Wesley Harris and Maciej Bender. “We’ll have to see,” Huggins said. “Lamont played there some last year. Wes is long. Actually, Maciej’s pretty

good up there. He’s got really good feet.” Rule Change: One thing that may be overlooked by some heading into this college basketball season is a rule change made by the NCAA this past summer that will affect West Virginia’s press defense. According to the NCAA, “The cylinder rule was adjusted to allow more freedom of movement for the offense. If a defensive player straddles an offensive player’s leg in a way that prohibits him from making a normal basketball move — which now includes pivoting — contact that creates a common foul will be called on the defensive player.” This rule change and how the officials enforce it is a concern for Huggins and West Virginia’s press defense. “I have reservations about

the officiating concerning the press,” Huggins said. “I think the press will be all right. They’re pretty much saying it’s going to be hard to do without coming right out and saying it’s going to be hard to do.” Despite this, Huggins said the Mountaineers are capable of playing solid half-court defense and feels that the team’s ability to do so is somewhat overlooked. “We’re pretty good in halfcourt,” Huggins said “And I think that’s the thing people don’t realize, when we’re running around doing what we do. When it gets into the half court situation, we’re still pretty good.” Season Outlook: As of now, it’s uncertain whether or not Huggins and the Mountaineers will implement the full court press for a full 40 minutes in games this

season due to the fact that West Virginia’s lineup will mainly feature more size with players like West and sophomore forwards Sagaba Konate and Logan Routt. “We’ve really got good size,” Huggins said. “We might be better served to do something else.” With the team having a blend of both experienced and inexperienced players, team leaders like seniors Jevon Carter and Daxter Miles Jr. will be a vital part to the press defense’s success having been a part of the press defense since they were freshmen during the 2014-2015 season. Through an exhibition game against Albany and a scrimmage against Purdue, the press has shown to be effective at times, but according to Huggins, the press still has a long way to go especially after a less than stellar performance

against Purdue. “I found out it sucks,” Huggins said. West Virginia’s press helped force 24 turnovers against Albany, but the press struggled against Purdue. In the scrimmage, the Mountaineers had 21 deflections with 11 of those coming from Carter. “That’s not much of a press,” Huggins said. How effective Press Virginia will be this season with a mix of familiar and new faces remains to be seen as well as how the team adjusts with its size but for now, it’s certain that the Mountaineers will press no matter what, but for how long for the duration of a game remains unknown. “We’re going to press, but will it be the constant 40 minutes? I don’t know,” Huggins said. “It may not be all 40 minutes, but it may be too.”

WVU seeks big victory in MAC semifinals BY JACK TOLMAN SPORTS WRITER

MEN’S SOCCER The WVU men’s soccer team (9-5-4) will play against the Western Michigan Broncos (15-2-1) on Friday night in the MAC Tournament semifinals. Western Michigan is on a stretch to remember, ranking fourth in the country and recording six straight wins. In those six wins, the team has not allowed a single goal, while outscoring opponents 12-0. As for the Mountaineers, it’s been very up and down since the start of October. They registered a huge upset win over Michigan State, but also recorded two draws against Northern Illinois and Bowling Green, neither of which reached the MAC Tournament. Since October, West Virginia has a 3-3-2 record and has been outscored 9-5. WVU snuck into the MAC Tournament based on last

weekend’s results. After a thrilling overtime victory over SIU-Edwardsville and Bowling Green’s loss to Western Michigan, the Mountaineers took the fourth and final slot in the tournament. With a record of 1-2-2 in the MAC compared to the 5-0-0 record of Western Michigan, WVU is definitely the heavy underdog. The Mountaineers’ biggest issue this season has been capitalizing on their opportunities, along with inconsistency in goal scoring. Against Western Michigan, a team that doesn’t allow many goal scoring opportunities, WVU will need to capitalize. The Broncos boast one of the country’s best defenses, having not allowed a goal since early October. In their last matchup just a couple weeks ago, WMU edged out the Mountaineers in overtime. “Our guys felt really good about the way we played, said WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “It was a deflection that ended up beating us against

a really good Western Michigan team.” The Mountaineers will have a second chance for an upset, but capitalizing on opportunities will be a must. Both teams had just five shots last match, with only two on goal each. In a game with scarce shooting due to stout defenses, the ability to land good shots becomes even more important. WVU surprised the Broncos last time around, and fought tooth and nail into extra time before WMU eventually landed the free kick game winner. “We know what we’re capable of, we’ve won some big games this year on the road,” LeBlanc said. “We’re going to be looking forward to getting the chance on Friday to get at them again.” LeBlanc and WVU will chance to prove tomorrow night if they are the better team, facing Western Michigan at 2 p.m. The winner will face either Akron or SIU-Edwardsville in the MAC Championship at 1 p.m. Sunday.

WVU set to face physical, WVU hockey looks to get disciplined Kansas State back on winning track BY NEEL MADHAVAN SPORTS WRITER

FOOTBALL Iowa State and Kansas State are very similar in its styles of play. A week after West Virginia defeated the Cyclones, the Mountaineers can utilize what they learned and practiced last week to prepare for when they face a very similar Wildcat team this weekend in Manhattan, Kansas. “I was kidding around with (WVU broadcaster) Tony (Caridi) on this earlier, if I reference playing Iowa State, I apologize, because it’s pretty much the same thing moving forward with what we need to do in order to be successful,” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen. One thing that remains uncertain ahead of Saturday’s matchup is Kansas State’s quarterback situation. Starter Jesse Ertz has been sidelined since going down with an injury in the Wildcats’ double overtime loss at Texas on Oct. 7. Sophomore Alex Delton has started the four games since then, throwing for 585 yards and rushing for 342 yards and five touch-

downs this season. However, Delton went down with an injury last week against Texas Tech. Redshirt freshman Skylar Thompson came in and led Kansas State to an 11-point comeback win over the Red Raiders. Wildcats head coach Bill Snyder has been tight-lipped on Ertz and Delton’s health, while being noncommittal about the starter for Saturday’s game. What is certain, however, is that regardless of the quarterback that starts, the Wildcats will run the ball with the quarterback using their power sets. WVU’s ability to defend those runs consistently will likely play a key role in determining the outcome of the game. “It was difficult to stop it last year,” said WVU redshirt sophomore linebacker David Long Jr. “It was a good game how they played it out with the play-action against the type of defense that we run. It is a good offense to run against us. We handled it well last year. We should be able to do it again.” Snyder and Kansas State have always been synonymous with discipline, toughness, physicality and fundamentals. In past matchups, the Wildcats have used that recipe to slow down WVU’s usually po-

tent offenses. Offensive coordinator Jake Spavital said that WVU needs to continue to emphasize physicality like they did last week to match that of Kansas State. “We’ve got to be patient,” Spavital said. “We’ve got to take what the defense gives us. It’s going to be another emphasis on physicality. You’ve got to be able to play with a physical edge if we’re going to be able to move the ball successfully against this defense.” However, there are limits to the levels of physicality that the Mountaineers can use to prepare in practice. It’s difficult to continue to practice the way they did last week this late in the season. Players are banged up, and with the injuries the team has on defense, Holgorsen said that the coaching staff will have to gauge that and adjust accordingly this week. “It will be the same thing, Coach Holgorsen said it’s going to be Iowa State week all over again with Kansas State,” said WVU redshirt sophomore offensive lineman Colton McKivitz. “They are also a very physical group, so we’re going to have to do the same thing. Just keep practicing and have that mindset of being more physical.”

HOCKEY The Mountaineers look to get back on the winning track against Villanova on Friday. WVU started the season strong with a 6-2-0 record, but have since fallen to 6-5-1. This weekend will provide the Mountaineers with many challenges, as they face off against three teams: Villanova, PSU Berks and William Patterson. “The teams we have drawn all present unique challenges, but the most important thing for us is to play with energy and with an edge,” said WVU head coach A.J. Sturges. WVU forward Sebastian Thomas is tied with teammate Eli Rivers for the most points on the team (12). Rivers currently has the lead in goals(10). Right winger JP Sawyer currently leads the team in assists (10). One thing that has been a strong point for the Mountaineers this season has been their goaltending. Both Ryan Wickiser and Benjamin Zienty have been solid between the pipes this year,

“Unfortunately, we haven’t produced offensively in some games our goalies deserved wins.” - Head coach A.J. Sturges each playing six games. “Goaltending has been a positive for us this year,” Sturges said. “Unfortunately, we haven’t produced offensively in some games our goalies deserved wins.” In six games played, Ryan Wickiser’s goals against average is 2.61, and has a record of 3-2-1. Benjamin Zienty’s goals against average is 3.87, and he has a record of 3-3-0. Both goaltenders have proven reliable so far this season, and this weekend will be another big test for the team. The Mountaineers have played very well this season and can never be counted out of a game. WVU currently scores an average of 3.92 goals per game, which is just below the division average of 4.1. On the defensive side of the puck, the Mountaineers are allowing 35.83 shots against per game, which is above the division average, as well as 3.5 goals per game.

Being stronger on the defensive side and giving their goalies more help will help the Mountaineers succeed. “We have had a lot of individual players step up at key moments this year,” Sturges said, “This helps us not be dependent on a few guys to carry the load, and that experience will help down the stretch.” WVU continues to practice its craft, working toward generating offense and playing a good team game. “We are working hard this week on generating offense and getting back to play a good team concept,” Sturges said. “Closing spaces and moving the puck quickly will help with our scoring.” This weekend will be full of Mountaineer hockey as the team faces Villanova on Friday, Penn State Berks on Saturday and William Patterson on Sunday.

Mountaineers looking forward to NCAA Tournament appearance BY JOE SEVERINO SPORTS WRITER

The West Virginia cross country team will try to earn its first team appearance in the NCAA Championships since 2014 on Friday when it travels to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania for the Mid-Atlantic Regionals. WVU must finish in the top two of the region to earn an automatic bid into nationals, or it can finish third and have a shot at a national at-large bid. The Mid-Atlantic Region contains three ranked teams — No. 9 Villanova, No. 19 Penn State and No. 27 Georgetown — along with non-ranked teams that are considered contenders, including WVU, Princeton, Bucknell and Pittsburgh. For WVU to have a shot at nationals, it will need to knock off at least one ranked team.

sophomores Olivia Hill and Candace Jones rounded out the team score, accompanying seniors Maggie Drazba and Amy Cashin. The team running this Friday will mirror the roster from two weeks ago, Cleary said. “The team that we ran at Big 12 is the same team we are running this weekend,” Cleary said. That roster included Drazba, Cashin, Jackson, Hill, Jones, senior Rebecca Wendt and freshmen Sarah Wills, Bree Warren and Antigone Archer. Cleary said that the last two weeks his runners have battled sickness and injuries, which worried him a bit. But this week, he said the team looked good and should be ready to roll. “By the time we get to Friday, we’re going to be back in a good place,” Cleary said. Friday’s regional is scheduled to start at 10:45 a.m. ET.

Chris Jackson West Virginia 24, Kansas State 21 WVU has never won in Manhattan, but that will change this time around. It showed a different type of toughness and physicality in last week’s win over then-No. 15 Iowa State, and that will carry over to make a difference in this matchup. These two usually battle out in close games, and that will be no different as WVU escapes on the road.

Head coach Sean Cleary said that pulling off an upset will be a tall task. “Penn State and Villanova have been running quite consistent over the last few weeks, and they’ve been running one step above us all year,” Cleary said. Cleary added that some of the non-ranked teams in the field are anything but push-overs. “Princeton beat us four weeks ago; we ran a good race and they still beat us,” Cleary said, referring to WVU’s final regular season meet at Penn State. Unfortunately for WVU, senior Jill Forsey will not be suiting up on Friday, according to Cleary. Forsey has yet to compete in 2017.
