Editorial: The DA’s response to Gee’s recent comment about newspapers STAFF As journalists, we understand that words matter. They have consequences- good and bad. According to the Charleston Gazette-Mail, during a Monday meeting, Gee said, “You’ve learned the common truth of public life, which is don’t believe what you read in the newspaper.” This comment came during a Blue Ribbon Commission on Four-Year Higher Education meeting, following discussions about an article in The Chronicle of Higher Education and another in the Charleston Gazette-Mail, both highly reputable news sources. During the meeting, Gee said he disagreed with the tone and the headline of The Chronicle’s

“Context and balance are key in consuming media. Just because a story quotes someone accurately doesn’t mean the statement is accurate. The onus is on media to seek balance and readers to think critically. That’s why you shouldn’t believe everything you read.”

-E. Gordon Gee, WVU president article, according to the Gazette-Mail. The headline read, “West Virginia Commission Seeks Equity for Colleges. But Behind the Scenes, Gordon Gee Pulls Strings.” The Chronicle wrote about Gee’s disagreement with a funding proposal from the West Virginia Higher Education Policy
Commission that could reduce University funding and that “Gee is on a mission to squelch the [HEPC] report and limit the role and influence of the commission.” “We seek fairness and equity but I’m not pulling the strings, I’m chairing the committee,” Gee said, according to the Gazette-Mail.

Phi Kappa Psi fraternity recieves sanctions after party BY DOUGLAS SOULE EDITORINCHIEF WVU’s chapter of Phi Kappa Psi has received multiple sanctions after holding a party that caused two people to go to the hospital. “They have been found responsible for violating Student Conduct code,”
said Matthew Richardson, director of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority life. The sanctions include a mock social event, requiring an advisor’s approval to registered social events and the fraternity going through an educational program by GAMMA, which stands for the Greeks Advocating the Mature Manage-
ment of Alcohol, Richardson said. “What I’m very impressed with [Phi] Kappa Psi is that they policed their issues, they said, ‘you know what, what we did was not appropriate, and this is how we’re going to fix it,’” Richardson said. “They actually came prepared with a number of self-imposed sanctions.”
Richardson said the fraternity had signed up for a social event for Saturday that went from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. A citation was issued at the fraternity house for a loud party at 8:11 p.m., according to the WVU Crime Log. Two citations were also issued for underage consumption of alcohol. “If the alcohol was be-
ing managed appropriately, then underage people should not have been served at all,” Richardson said. Two females attending the party had to be transported to the hospital, said WVU Police Department Captain St. Clair. The chapter did not respond to a request for comment by publication.

For WVU alumni, neutral site games bring gameday to them BY JOE SEVERINO NEWS EDITOR
WVU football will open its 2018 campaign this Saturday with a neutral site game in Charlotte, North Carolina, and alumni in the Tar Heel State are excited to finally have the Mountaineers back. This will be WVU’s first game in North Carolina since Pat White and Bill Stewart beat North Carolina 31-30 in the 2008 Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte. And ten years later, former WVU Alumni Association board member Mike Petruski, now living in Charlotte, said the wait was worth it to see the Mountaineers again. “What’s great about the neutral site, particularly being in Charlotte, is we have such a large alumni base in North Carolina,” Petruski, a 1972 WVU graduate, said. Head coach Dana Holgorsen emphasized the importance of neutral site games and playing near large alumni bases at the Big 12 Media Days in July. “It’s fair to our fan base to be able to play local schools that they remember great games in the past. Tennessee, never played them, but they’re our neighbor and we’re going to play that game in Charlotte which is our number one alumni base in the United States,” Holgorsen said. According to WVU’s Alumni Center, in no particular order, Charlotte, the D.C. area and Pittsburgh are the largest alumni bases outside of West Virginia. Petruski said WVU fans in North Carolina have been gearing up for this game for a while now. He said Charlotte’s alumni chapter’s social chair Jaci Slone has been organizing the party for years. “Jaci started working on this like four years ago when it was announced that we were going to be playing Tennessee,” he said. “So, she’s been working with the owner of Whisky River that’s owned

The Mountaineers played three times in Washington D.C., once in Baltimore and once in Atlanta. The Mountaineers opened up last season in Washinton against Virginia Tech at FedEx Field. Former president of the WVU D.C. alumni chapter Darren Feeley said he’s grateful WVU has made the trip east so many times. “It’s not different than comradery that you get from Morgantown,” Feeley, a 1993 graduate, said. “Just seeing the gold and blue in D.C., cars driving down the highway with flags on them, people wearing the colors on the Metro. It’s like the PRT magnified by 10.” Feeley said he knows how taxing neutral site games are for the players.
“We know that it’s hard on the players traveling, you know, they play enough Big 12 games where they’re spending their school lives outside of Morgantown and a lot of travel, and I realize it’s a grind so we’re very appreciative to know that they can put one more road game on there to showcase here in D.C.” he said. But when the Mountaineers do come to town, Freely said the alumni know how to welcome them. He said the region boasts close to 1,000 WVU graduates. “Really, we make a weekend out of it, where we had pregame activities leading up to the game the night before,” he said. Petruski said that downtown Charlotte will treat Mountaineer fans well and he thinks the stadium being in the center of the city will lead to a very fun weekend.

WVU Athletics keeps Papa John’s on as partner BY JOE SEVERINO NEWS EDITOR
WVU Athletics has decided to continue its corporate partnership with Papa John’s following internal discussions about whether to drop the company after the company’s founder used a racial slur during a conference call with employees. Senior Associate Athletic Director Matt Wells said WVU Athletics had decided to keep Papa John’s as a partner because of its longstanding relationship with the local Papa John’s franchises. “Our agreement is with the local franchisee, so we’re excited to be moving forward with them,� Wells said. “They’ve been very supportive over the years, a loyal group to the Mountaineers, and we’re happy to be working with the local group moving forward.� Wells said WVU Athletics began evaluating its relationship with the company
when the news broke in July that Papa John’s founder and former CEO John Schnatter used the N-word during a conference call with employees. He said the department had been discussing ending the partnership on and off for the last couple weeks. “Our relationship dates back more than 20 years with the local franchisees,� Wells said. The Daily Athenaeum reported on Aug. 13 that the University decided not to serve Papa John’s pizza at the Monday Night Lights event for freshmen, which had served the event for the past few years. Freshmen were instead served Domino’s pizza, a partner of Coca-Cola, which is a WVU corporate partner. WVU spokesperson John Bolt said the University had taken issue with Schnatter’s use of the racial slur, causing the change.
Somewhat hidden in the fallout of John “Papa Johnâ€? Schnatter using a racial slur in a meeting with employees is the ongoing removal of the Papa John’s brand from college campus across the country. •The University of Louisville renamed its football stadium, previously called “Papa John’s Stadiumâ€? to Cardinal Stadium, and removed Schnatter’s name o a business college building. •Purdue University stripped Schnatter’s name o its economic research building and will return the $8 million donation Schnatter made to Purdue. •The University of Kentucky also cut all ties with Schnatter. UK removed Schnatter’s name o a research and teaching center after his foundation and the university mutually agreed to split.

•The University of Cincinnati, Butler University, the University of Utah and the University of North Florida all removed Papa John’s restaurants from their campuses, citing Schnatter’s racial slur.

Community service expo exposes students to learning opportunities outside of the classroom

Learning can happen anywhere and at any time. This is an idea that the WVU’s Center for Service and Learning is trying to instill in students through commu-
nity service and service learning opportunities. The center’s community coordinator, Catherine Whitworth, said that the center’s main goal is just to show students the opportunities that community service present. “The intention is to introduce students to ways to engage with their local community through service,”
Whitworth said. “What we find at WVU is that student retention rates are better with students that are engaged and also that the job placement rates are much better.” On Wednesday, the center hosted a community service expo in the Mountainlair where 32 different organizations were able to set up tables
to present themselves to students. Whitworth explained that, through service, students have the opportunity to discover their passion and purpose while also gaining practical experience. “We consider our community partners to be co-educators of our students,” Whitworth said. “Students learn with these organizations how to develop creative solutions to problems. Our partner organizations really appreciate the new ideas that WVU students bring.” One of the organizations present at the expo, the Old Hemlock Foundation, individually tailors its service learning opportunities for students to exemplify the writings of author George Bird Evans. Foundation director, LeJay Graffious, said they can provide students opportunities for learning and growth that are not present in a classroom. “They’re making a connection with the community,” Graffious said. “We give them authentic learning opportunities that are different than what would be in the classroom.” One of the biggest positives of service learning is connecting students with the Morgantown community. Whitworth said students sometimes struggle to feel at home at WVU and getting involved in community service can help with that. “It’s difficult when someone first comes to college,” Whitworth said.
“Sometimes they experience a sense of isolation even though they’re around thousands of people all the time. So, finding a way to establish these connections and relationships really helps students perform better all around.” Stephen Iwunor, a representative from New Vision Renewable Energy, said connecting with the community is one of the biggest takeaways from service learning. “It’s really getting to know your community and knowing how what you’re learning can impact and benefit your community,” Iwunor said. “With service learning, you can see how [what you learn in the classroom] translates into your community to make your community a better place too.” New Vision Renewable Energy works on recreational and community development, specifically building solar lights kits to take to rural communities. Through this, students are able to realize how the things they are learning can have an effect beyond just their own education. Beyond just the expo, the Center for Service and Learning assists students year-round to get involved with whatever community service opportunities fit them the best.
Active Minds spreads mental Young Life hosts 5K, 1-mile-walk and “NoK 5K” health awareness across campus BY STEPHANIE GOLDEN CORRESPONDENT
On Saturday, more than 70 people could be found running or walking in a Young Life-sponsored events at White Park Trails. This wasn’t the typical 3.1mile race; it also included a 1 mile walk and even a “NoK 5K,” which means someone doesn’t have to participate in the event and instead just make a donation and receive a shirt. The races were hosted by the Morgantown chapter of Young Life. Young Life is an organization that began in Texas in 1941 with a goal of “introducing adolescents to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith.” Young Life is presently found in all 50 states and in over 100 different countries. This was the second 5K the Morgantown group has put on. This year it was part of a
special, three-month event to celebrate 25 years of Young Life in this area. They will also be having an alumni tailgate on Sept. 22 during the WVU football game against Kansas State in WVU’s Blue Lot. The organization will also have its annual fund-raising banquet in October at Lake View Resort. Ben Tuel is the area director of Young Life in the Mountaineer Area. He has been involved in the program since he was in college here at WVU from 1994-1998. During college, he was a volunteer leader for the program, where he worked specifically with students from University High School. After graduation, he moved to Bridgeport and became a full-time member of the Young Life staff and started the program at Bridgeport High School. After working in Charleston, West Virginia for a while, Tuel moved back to Morgantown in 2010 to take over the pro-
gram here. “Young Life doesn’t start as a program. It starts with adults who are concerned enough about kids to go to them, on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship,” Tuel said. In the 5K, Joey White won the male category with a time of 20:10.2, while Tammy Holtzapel won the women’s race with a time of 19:59.3. Tuel also stated that the point of the “NOK5K” was, “to help their alumni and others who were out of town to be able to participate. Basically, you registered for the NOK, and you did exactly that – nothing. You registered and got a t-shirt!” This was the first of several events the Morgantown area Young Life group has planned for this semester.
BY OLIVIA GIANETTINO CORRESPONDENT
Light from the setting sun poured through the glass windows of the Mountainlair as Annamarie McGuire, president of the WVU chapter of Active Minds, gave her testimony about joining the mental health club during their first meeting of the semester on Tuesday. The environment was perfectly warm and welcoming, meeting the group’s one main goal: create a comfortable space to start breaking the stigma that surrounds mental health. “The purpose of Active Minds is to start a conversation about mental health, because it should be talked about as equally as physical health is,” McGuire said. Organization members hold regular meetings where they plan for on-campus activities and fundraisers, discuss partnerships with other mental health organizations
and share the ways that mental health has affected their lives. McGuire, a forensic and investigative science student, said money raised through the organization is used to help fund programs like Send Silence Packing, an event WVU has hosted in the past. During this display, backpacks were set up around Woodburn Circle, with each backpack representing a suicide victim; loved ones’ stories came along with each one. September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and Active Minds is planning to set up booths in the Mountainlair promoting the club’s cause and informing the student body. These are just a few of the many ways Active Minds is actively spreading awareness about mental health. During the meeting, all of the members said their name, major and a little bit about why they joined the club. There was a diverse group in attendance, which proved another point in the organization’s case: there
is not only one kind of individual that is affected by mental health, and it will take every kind of individual to help solve the problem. Johnna Helfer, a sophomore business student and second-year member of Active Minds, said she joined after watching people around her struggle with mental illness and refuse to talk about it. Helfer said the most helpful aspect of the organization was the act of “getting their name out there and stopping the stigma.” “If you have a passion for helping others, coming out and helping us makes a big difference,” McGuire said. “Because one voice means a lot, but having many that have the same passion changes everything.” As the meeting ended, it was obvious that Active Minds was a place of solidarity. Students can get involved by contacting McGuire at activemindswvu@gmail.com for updates about meetings and events.

What Greek life does for our Mountaineer family BY HALEIGH CASTO CORRESPONDENT
It doesn’t matter what avenue you choose to walk down on a Friday night, you will find giggly drunks and trashed kids kicking a ball around. Of course, there are the classics like Grant Avenue and High Street, but a stroll down Second Street in front of Honors Hall will give you the same effect. Sunnyside and Evansdale are equally as busy with the weekend party scene, despite most of the Greek life finding residence on the upper end of downtown. So, the question comes, is a harsher rule on our Greek life going to change any of this? The short answer is no. No matter where you go in the country, people will party. Every college campus has a party scene, no matter the size of student body or Greek life. Sure, an outlet will be removed from the party life, but one will replace it. By losing Greek life, you would be losing one thing that is hard to replace: tradition. Tradition is one of the biggest pieces tethering most sororities and fraternities to our University. Most fraterni-

In an emailed statement sent by WVU spokesperson John Bolt on Monday night, Gee said, “Context and balance are key in consuming media. Just because a story quotes someone accurately doesn’t mean the statement is accurate. The onus is on media to seek balance and readers to think critically. That’s why you

Spring 2018 community data for all Greek life members and WVU undergraduate students. ties and sororities have been based on the Mountaineer values since the early 1900s or earlier. That’s why most college kids join Greek life. The partying may have influence, but you will often find that it is tradition that makes them stay. Often, Greek life is talked about in the negative scene, but what about the good that they bring to the University? As the WVU website says, “Be a part of something bigger than yourself,” and that is what Greek life offers for most students. It offers a sense of family and a homeliness that college students strive for. WVU’s Greek life takes the time to give back, in both Greek Week and in the BIG
Greek Day of Service. During Greek Week, it’s up to the organizations to create and complete some service projects, as well as get non-member students involved in Greek life. During BIG Greek Day of Service, many of WVU’s Greek life members give back to the surrounding areas in the form of service projects, such as trash cleanups and the painting of nearby facilities. Another thing for our Greek life to hold as a torch of success is their grades. According to the statistics presented by the WVU Community Academic Report for the spring semester of 2018, undergraduate students involved in Greek life showed a higher average cumulative
shouldn’t believe everything you read.” Context is important. It’s important to consider the context of the comment during the meeting, a context which still does not justify Gee’s comment. It’s also important to consider the context of the times in which such a comment was made, times when a dangerous, anti-press rhetoric roils, putting journalists at risk and undermining democracy itself. In Wednesday afternoon tweets, Gee said, “My recent comment regarding newspapers was not intended as an attack on the media. We see this type of attack all too often in national politics, and it is unfortunate my comment was presented that way. I have always vigorously supported a free press and our @WVUMediaCollege, its current students, and its alumni around
the world working in the industry. They play a critical role in our society.” We do not imply the comment was an intentional attack nor do we endeavor to present it in such a way. Whatever its intention, such a comment feeds into a narrative that diminishes truth, dubbing accurate news as “fake news” and honest journalists as “enemies of the American people.” Journalists should not be free from criticism. To be imperfect is to be human, and legitimate mistakes should be pointed out to ensure a trusting relationship between writer and reader. Still, an offhand, generalized comment that paints newspapers as untrustworthy from someone in such a powerful position should not be taken lightly. While Gee has complimented the DA and its work

All WVU undergraduates students raked up an average cumulative GPA of 3.03, while members of Greek life had an average of 3.08. Our Greek life adds life to our campus. Whether it’s through service, community, scholarship or leadership, you are destined to notice those in our Mountaineer family who try to get the most out of their college experience. Despite the negative attention, Greek life is trying to change the world a little at a time. It our job as students to be involved, and what better place to be than the Greek life family.

What to watch for in WVU’s season opener BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS WRITER
1. How does WVU adjust? Season openers always present lots of unknowns, but maybe not as much as this one. When the West Virginia Mountaineers open up the 2018 campaign at 3:30 p.m. Saturday against Tennessee in Charlotte, they will be faced with a challenging task. Not only is it a season opener where new players could emerge, the team is tasked with squaring off against a completely new regime at Tennessee. There are not many films on this Tennessee group. It is an entirely different coaching staff, an entirely different era. First-year head coach Jeremy Pruitt, who was the defensive coordinator under Nick Saban at Alabama last year, now leads the Volunteers. He brought in an entirely new coaching staff, with offensive coordinator Tyson Helton coming from USC and co-defensive coordinators
Kevin Sherrer (Georgia) and Chris Rumph (Florida) coming from other schools, too. That means WVU sifted through hours and hours and hours of film from all of their different stops to gauge just what they might do. The WVU coaches also watched the Tennessee Spring Game, which is the one set of video of this staff working with this group of Tennessee players, but that only shows so much. Tennessee also has a quarterback battle on its hands. WVU won’t find out who takes the snaps until the first play Saturday, and that decision is between redshirt sophomore Jarrett Guarantano and Stanford graduate transfer Keller Chryst. It is an entirely different situation from last year. WVU knew who would start at quarterback for Virginia Tech. It was not an entirely new coaching staff. Defensive coordinator Bud Foster has been there for years. WVU will have to adjust, but it is not concerned about that. Tennessee will have to adjust,
too, even though WVU brings back the same head coach and the same set of coordinators. New faces could emerge for WVU, and that is exactly what redshirt senior quarterback Will Grier pointed out. Receiver David Sills had a big opener last year, and after that, Grier knew he would be a target as long as he donned the blue and gold. So both teams will have to adjust throughout the afternoon. WVU maybe more. Whoever makes the critical adjustments will likely come out on top. 2. How does WVU utilize the tight ends? One of the biggest talking points all offseason has been the tight end position. It is a position that has not been used much in the Dana Holgorsen era, and that will likely change this season. Holgorsen and offensive coordinator Jake Spavital have an abundance of tight ends at their disposal, led by redshirt senior Trevon Wesco and redshirt sophomore and Miami
transfer Jovani Haskins. Both will see a lot of playing time, and deservedly so, according to players and coaches. Wesco “flipped the switch” in the regular season finale last year at Oklahoma and Haskins is an “athletic freak” in the words of Grier. Just how much of a role they play and how they are used Saturday remains to be seen. What we do know, though, is that they can do different things. Both are big – Haskins at 6-foot-4 and 245 pounds and Wesco at 6-foot-4 and 274 pounds. They could be used as extra bodies in a run and pass protection. They could be used as receivers at times, creating mismatches in certain situations against smaller defenders. That remains to be seen, but it is clear that this position will be used heavily all season long. 3. The four running backs. West Virginia’s depth chart was not clear on who would
start at running back Saturday, and there is a reason for that. The competition is still ongoing between true freshman Leddie Brown, junior Kennedy McKoy, junior Martell Pettaway and redshirt freshman Alec Sinkfield. All bring a variety of skill sets to the table and have impressed throughout fall camp. All four will probably see the field Saturday, but it is unknown who sees the most snaps. The WVU coaching staff is keeping quiet about that, and they might not even know yet. What we do know is that all four will play and that all four have the potential to wow everyone in 2018. 4. Defensive line play. Like the tight end position, the defensive line has been a big talking point all offseason. WVU has a lot of experience up front. Senior Ezekiel Rose came alive the second half of his junior year. Junior Reese Donahue has seen plenty of snaps, too. Sophomore Darius Stills saw his fair share of
playing time last year, too. Even though two top-end players transferred – Lamonte McDougle (Washington State) and Adam Shuler (Florida) – there is plenty of reason for optimism at the position. The Mountaineers brought in two graduate transfers – Kenny Bigelow Jr. (USC) and Jabril Robinson (Clemson). Bigelow Jr. and Robinson are listed as two of the three starters. They are leaders. They are mature. They have been around the block for a while. Next to them on the starting defensive line will either be Donahue or Rose. Whoever starts next to Robinson and Bigelow Jr. does not matter a whole lot, though. There are a number of players who will see snaps. True freshman Dante Stills has been given the “green light” to go. And redshirt sophomore Jeffery Pooler Jr. will play as well. There is a lot of experience and talent up front, and WVU is ready to see the defensive line take the next step in 2018.

SPORTS EDITOR
Jeremy Pruitt has been welcomed with open arms by the
As West Virginia University sets to open up their season with Tennessee at the Belk College Kickoff, we sought out the opinion of our counterparts at the University of Tennessee and their student newspaper The Daily Beacon. The Daily Beacon’s sports editor Blake Von Hagen was kind enough to talk to us about Saturday’s game in Charlotte and some details on the Volunteers: Who will win and why? When the Belk College Kickoff committee comes up with the matchups for the season opener, they are looking for close games with large fan bases. As Tennessee and West Virginia prepare to meet on Saturday, they have exactly that. However, West Virginia is not a great matchup for Tennessee. The Vols lost key members of the secondary from last year’s team, and the Mountaineers love to air it out. A set of young defensive backs are going to be tasked with slowing down a veteran passing attack, which does not bode well for Tennessee. West Virginia takes the season opener by a score of 34-20 on Saturday. What are Tennessee’s strengths? Tennessee returns some
Tennessee fan base after Greg Schiano fell through. Pruitt is respected for his work under Nick Saban, and all outside signs have been positive so far. Of course, Vol fans would be willing to support just about any fresh face who stepped on campus, so only time will tell. But so far, it has been an overwhelmingly supportive vibe for Pruitt. Who has the edge in the Vols’ battle for starting quarterback? I think the edge has to go to [returning redshirt sophomore] Jarrett Guarantano at COURTESY OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tennessee quarterback Jarrett Guarantano warms up before an NCAA college football game against Vanderbilt in Knoxville, Tenn. depth at wide receiver and linebacker, as well as the running back position. The wide receiving corps is headlined by Jauan Jennings, Marquez Callaway, Josh Palmer and Brandon Johnson. As long as the Vols have solid quarterback play, the passing game has potential. Tennessee also returns
Ty Chandler and Tim Jordan at running back, along with the addition of grad-transfer Madre London from Michigan State. Those guys will look to get a lot of touches behind an offensive line that is led by a preseason All-SEC First Team selection in Trey Smith. If Darrin Kirkland Jr. can stay
healthy beside Daniel Bituli at linebacker, that group could be reliable all season for the Vols. What are Tennessee’s weaknesses? The Vols are lacking in the secondary, especially at the cornerback position. Along-
this point. He has experience playing with these guys, and
side Baylen Buchanan, Tennessee will be relying on a pair of freshmen to step up. Alontae Taylor has shown promise during fall camp, but playing against West Virginia’s dynamic passing game will be a real test. How has the UT campus
all signs throughout fall camp seem to indicate he will get the nod. [Stanford grad transfer] Keller Chryst could see some action on Saturday, but Guarantano is likely the one under center for the first offensive possession.

WVU looking for more scoring opportunities against American BY COLE MCCLANAHAN
CORRESPONDENT The West Virginia men’s soccer team opens their home schedule this Friday at 7 p.m. against American University. WVU (1-1) is coming off a disappointing 1-0 loss to the University of North Carolina Wilmington on Sunday where they had ample opportunities to score – 18 shots, seven on goal – but were unable to find the back of the net. Junior midfielder Andres Muriel Albino led the Mountaineers with five shot attempts and two on goal. West Virginia should see even more opportunities to score on Friday as American (1-1) allowed six goals in their last match, en route to a 6-0 loss to George Washington. George Washington attempted 23 shots against the Eagles, with eight on goal. American only got six shots off the entire game, with only two being on target. The Eagle’s starting goalkeeper, freshman Lucas Manso, allowed five goals in the first half before a keeper change was made at halftime. Backup John Mino played the remainder of the game, allowing only one goal past him. Manso owns a .333 save percentage for the season. In comparison, WVU’s keeper, Steven Tekesky, has a .889 save percentage through two games.
Sophomore forward Nicholas Dimitrijevic led American in shot attempts against George Washington with three. Junior midfielder Fabio Massaro was the only other Eagle to record an attempt, with one. American in the field is led by Massaro and sophomore forward Jerry Zouantcha, each with one goal on the season. Defenders Tim Neumann and Matt Sloan each lead the Eagles in assists so far this year, with one. Midfielders Ethan Shim and Joey Piatczyc have each scored once this season to lead West Virginia in goals. Piatczyc has the Mountaineer’s lone assist this season as well. For his efforts against College of Charleston and UNCW, Piatczyc was named both the MAC Player of the Week and WVU Student-Athlete of the Week. Surprisingly, it was the first MAC Player of the Week award in his career. Entering Friday night, American will need to limit WVU’s shot attempts, and in the process, limit their scoring opportunities. If the Eagles do not upgrade their defense or improve upon their 3.5 goals allowed average, the Mountaineers should be successful in the end and have confidence going into their two-game road trip to begin September.

Mountaineers travel to BYU to face top-ranked teams BY SHYLA PARSONS CORRESPONDENT
The West Virginia University volleyball team will head to Provo, Utah for the first time in program history this weekend for a trio tournament at the BYU Nike Invitational, where they will meet up with BYU, Stanford and Wichita State. The Mountaineers will play No. 9 BYU on Thursday, Wichita State on Friday and No. 1 Stanford on Saturday. “Heading into this weekend is going to be a challenge for us,” WVU head coach Reed Sunahara said. “Stanford is No. 1 for a reason, and BYU is up there in the top five. Wichita State’s a great program historically. It’s gonna be a tough tournament.” All three teams were placed in the Top 25 of the Coaches’ Poll in 2017. Coach Sunahara has a history of
matching up against tough components during their non-conference schedule. “I think it’s just really important going into this tournament that we don’t get down on ourselves,” junior setter Erin Slinde said, “that we always continue to have a ‘refuse to lose’ mindset, and that we go out there, and no matter if it’s No. 1, or No. 8, or No. 25, that we are going and giving out best effort and improving, because that’s the type of teams you are going to see in the Big 12.” No. 9 BYU is picked to finish atop the West Coast Conference, and are led by third-year head coach Shay Goulding. The Cougars finished their 2017 season by reaching the regional semifinals of the NCAA tournament, placing them at ninth in the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) coaches poll. The Mountaineers took a 3-0 fall during their last meeting with BYU
in 2014. This year’s match will begin at 9 p.m. on Thursday and can be streamed on TheW.tv. Wichita State is on a 3-0 start to their season, having defeated VCU, Howard and James Madison. It was picked as a preseason favorite to win the American Athletic Conference (AAC) for the second season in a row. The Shockers ended their 2017 season ranked No. 23 after reaching the second round of the NCAA Tournament. This first-ever meeting between West Virginia and Wichita State will tip off at 5 p.m. and can also be seen on TheW.tv. No. 1 Stanford is off to a 2-0 start in their 2018 season. Stanford advanced to the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament in 2017, ending their season 30-4 (19-1 in the Pac12). This will be WVU’s first time meeting with the Cardinal. Their match will begin at 7 p.m. on Saturday and will
be streamed on TheW.tv. The Mountaineers ended last weekend with a 2-1 record, defeating Georgia Southern and UConn on Friday. They took a fall against Wright State on Saturday but still took home the WVU Invitational title. Five of the nine freshmen were seen on the court last weekend, with Kristina Jordan and Kristin Lux starting all three matches for the Mountaineers. Jordan, a four-year letter winner from Liberty Charter High School in San Diego, placed second on the team last weekend for West Virginia, having 15 blocks. Lux ranks second on the team in kills, with 27. The Mountaineers are currently 10 wins away from pursuing their 700th win in program history, leaving them with a 690-724 record. Sunahara owns a 41-54 record with West Virginia.

After tough opening road trip, WVU returns to host Xavier, No. 11 Georgetown BY MATTHEW GOLD
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR The West Virginia University women’s soccer team will play their first home games of the season this weekend. After a four-game road stretch to start the campaign, the Mountaineers will play two games at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium this weekend against Xavier and No. 11 Georgetown. It is safe to say Mountaineer head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown’s team is happy to be playing in Morgantown again. “It’s exciting for us to finally be at home and to be in our environment and with our fans and in Dlesk Stadium, so we’re super excited to be home,” Izzo-Brown said. The road trip and the first four games for WVU have been something that Izzo-Brown has not been used to over the course of her 22year tenure. Her team has not been winless through four games since the 2012 season. West Virginia is averaging 23.3 shots per game this season, while their opponents are averaging nine of them. WVU is out-shooting teams by a 93-36 margin. “Sometimes it takes a little luck. We just got to keep creating our luck,” said Izzo-Brown. “We’ve hit toes, we’ve hit crossbars, we’ve hit the inside of posts, and that’s the game. We just got keep on creating and creating. “If we have to go out and get 100 shots, we are going to get after 100 shots,” she said. The opportunities have been there for the Mountaineers. They have been com-
petitive in all of the games played. WVU’s shots will eventually find the back of the net. The team is too good for them not to go in and for games not to be won. Senior forward Hannah Abraham has been around the block a number of times and knows what it takes to win. She was on the national runner-up team in 2016. “[These games] have taught me and everyone else that we are willing to fight through adversity,” said Abraham. “We have faced that adversity really well, because, especially the upperclassman, we’re not used to that deal- not winning. I think we’re trying to stay positive and fix the little mistakes. Staying positive and believing in ourselves because we are a good team and going to find those wins.” On Thursday night, Xavier comes to Morgantown to face the Mountaineers. Xavier is 1-3, with their only win being the first game of the season. It has been a tough schedule for the Musketeers, with games also against Northern Kentucky and No. 13 Tennessee. On Sunday, WVU plays No. 11 Georgetown. The Hoyas are unbeaten on the season, having a record of 2-0-2. Georgetown has scored five goals on the season and conceding two. They have two shutouts as well. Both games are at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. The Xavier game kicks off at 7 p.m. and the Georgetown game gets underway at 3 p.m. on Sunday.
