SGA election ballot order released Only one candidate featured on the ballot will not be a part of SGA’s 2016-17 board of governors by caity coyne city editor @caitycoyne

The ballot order for the Student Government Association election was solidified Thursday afternoon by random drawing in the Office of Student Engagement and Leadership.

Jules Merow and Mac McIntyre will run an unopposed race for student body president and vice president respectively.

Last Wednesday, Alex Weidman, a junior English student, stood up during the open student forum of the SGA meeting to announce his bid for presi-

dency. However, after further consideration during the last week, he decided not to run, according to Emma Harrison, SGA elections chair.

In order to run for SGA, students seeking a position on the Athletic Council or the Board of Governors were required to obtain 500 student signatures, while Merow and McIntyre needed 1,000. Hopeful candidates also must have at least a 2.0 GPA. Harrison said everyone who returned the signature packets on Wednesday qualified for the election, leaving 16 students running for the BOG and making an

unopposed race for Athletic Council.

All but one of the students running for the BOG will belong to the same party, leaving one independent candidate, Olivia Dudley, a junior Slavic and East European studies student.

The BOG is the only competitive race this election, and one candidate will not make the governing administration for 2016-17.

“Students should make sure they really listen to what the Governors say, especially,” Harrison said.

“There is one person on that ballot who won’t make it.”

While the ballot order

was random, sometimes candidates can use their place on the ballot during their campaigning.

“If you’re first, you can just say ‘Hey, I’m first!’ and it lets people remember (better),” Harrison said.

Additionally, the ballot will contain two SGA constitutional amendments for students to vote on.

One will relate to the procedure for appointing and replacing members of the Board of Governors.

The other will be a proposal to raise the required GPA of SGA position holders from a 2.0 GPA to a 2.5 GPA, which is already the norm for all officers in all student organizations, except for SGA. Students are advised to

VU AAUW to host W annual Women’s Empowerment Night

WHAT’S CHANGED?

by rachel mcbride staff writer @rachelgmcb

This evening, the West Virginia University American Association of University Women will be hosting its second annual AAUW Women’s Empowerment Night for both male and female WVU students from 6-10 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballrooms.

Each February, AAUW organizes a women’s empowerment night as a way to provide a stress-relieving, fun-filled night in a safe environment around Valentine’s Day and before students take their midterm exams. Organizers of the event take it as an opportunity to educate students on how to deal with issues women face on campus and in their careers, according to Sabrina Ridenour, founding president for WVU AAUW. Since 1881, AAUW has worked as a grassroots organization to empower and improve the lives of millions of women and their families, according to AAUW’s official website.

“This event provides a chance for WVU AAUW to tackle several issues with female students such as equal pay for women, women’s roles in politics and women suffering from abuse and rape,” Ridenour said.

This event will begin with an activities fair that offers a number of empowering activities sponsored by partnering WVU student organizations, such as the Mountaineer Maniacs, Society of Women Engineers and

staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 ended legal voting discrimination in the United States. However, voting suppression in the United States has not completely disappeared.

West Virginia University instructor Daniel Brewster from the department of sociology and anthropology showed and hosted a discussion on the film, “Selma,” Thursday evening.

The showing was part of the Cecilia Rollins Brown-Bag Lunch Film and Discussion series.

“We’re seeing a multitude of voter suppression across the country that is making it more and more difficult for many people to get out and vote during elections, both presidential and more local primary elections,” Brewster said.

Selma told the story of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s struggle to convince President Lyndon B. Johnson to pass voting rights legislation. King and his followers planned a march from Selma, Alabama to the state capital, Montgomery, to protest the suppression of African Americans’ right to vote.

The protestors were met with brutal violence from local law enforcement.

The violence drew national attention and soon white and

CHAARG. Informational displays, which promote self-esteem, healthy lifestyles and sexual assault and domestic violence prevention will be available to all attendees.

According to AAUW’s own research, “women make up about 50 percent of the U.S. workforce, but only 4 percent of chief executive officers at Standard & Poor’s 500 index companies, 19 percent of S&P 500 board seats, and only about 26 percent of college and university presidents.” This same study also states that “women in politics represent 19 percent of the U.S. Congress and a smaller fraction of governors.”

An activities fair and Women’s History Trivia will take place from 6:307:30 p.m. Prizes for the trivia are sponsored by Amazon Student and AAUW. The prizes will include gift cards to local businesses such as Clutch Wings, Tailpipes, Amazon, Starbucks, Best Buy and Target.

There will also be a business attire fashion show presented by the WVU Fashion Business Association, “Ladies Against Humanity” card game, nail painting and a voter registration drive.

“WVU AAUW wants every student to leave Women’s Empowerment Night feeling empowered,” Ridenour said. “This night is the chance for students to just be themselves, take a break from their studies, and most importantly, remind themselves of how beautiful they truly are.”

WVU receives new classification as R1 research institution by corey mcdonald staff writer @coreymacc

West Virginia University has recently joined the likes of institutions like Yale and Johns Hopkins with its new classification as an R1 research-activity school.

Institutions that fall into the R1 category are noted

as having the highest research activity, and are sorted every five years by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.

“It is a significant validation, and we are proud to join other Big 12 schools, major state flagships and some elite privates as one of 115 R1 universities among the nation’s more

than 4,000 higher education institutions,” said WVU President E. Gordon Gee. WVU was among 15 schools that climbed into this new classification, along with Northeastern University and George Mason University.

The Carnegie Classification sorts doctoral universities that award at least 20 doctorates for research, or

scholarly pursuits in an academic year, not counting law or medical degrees.

This year, there are a total of 335 doctoral universities split into three different groups. There are 113 R3 universities, including institutions like Adelphi University. There are 107 R2 universities, including Dartmouth and William & Mary. Furthermore, there

are 115 R1 universities, which are considered “national universities,” like the University of Michigan or Duke.

Carnegie analysts sorted these doctoral schools by examining data from 201314 year on criteria like research and development spending, research staff, and doctoral conferrals.

With FBI ring tightening, last Oregon occupiers give up BURNS, Ore. (AP)—With the FBI tightening its ring around them, the last four holdouts in the armed takeover of a national wildlife refuge in Oregon surrendered Thursday, ending a 41-day standoff that left one man dead and exposed simmering anger over the government’s control of vast expanses of Western land.

Federal authorities in six states also arrested seven other people accused of being involved in the occupation and brought charges against a leader of the movement who organized a 2014 standoff. Two more suspects remained at large.

The last occupiers at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge gave up without incident a day after federal agents surrounded the site.

Nearby residents were relieved.

“I just posted hallelujah on my Facebook,” said Julie Weikel, who lives next to the nature preserve.

“And I think that says it all.

I am so glad this is over.”

At least 25 people have now been indicted on federal charges of conspiracy to impede employees at the wildlife refuge from performing their duties.

Me a nw h i l e, C l i ve n Bundy, who was at the center of the 2014 standoff at his ranch in Nevada, was arrested late Wednesday in Portland after encouraging the occupiers not to give up. Bundy is the father of Ammon Bundy, the jailed leader of the Oregon occupation.

The elder Bundy appeared in federal court Thursday in Portland to hear the charges against him, all of which stem from the 2014 confrontation with federal authorities in Nevada.

He’s accused of leading supporters who pointed military-style weapons at federal agents trying

sor at California State University, San Bernardino.

“This siege and the way it was handled will go down in law enforcement textbooks.”

The standoff began when Ammon Bundy and his followers took over the refuge south of Burns, demanding that the government turn over the land to locals and release two ranchers imprisoned for setting fires.

Federal agents, Oregon state troopers and sheriff ’s deputies monitored the occupation to avoid a confrontation. As the weeks passed, there were growing calls for the FBI to act, including from Oregon’s governor.

They did, on Jan. 26. On that day, Ammon Bundy and other occupation leaders were heading for the town of John Day to give a talk on federal overreach. FBI agents and Oregon state troopers stopped the group’s two-vehicle convoy. Robert “LaVoy” Finicum was shot dead in that confrontation. The FBI said he was reaching for a pistol inside his jacket pocket.

A total of 12 people were arrested that week, including Ammon Bundy.

Most of the occupiers fled the refuge after hearing they would not be arrested if they left quickly.

Four stayed behind, saying they feared they would be arrested if they left.

Oregon elected officials rejoiced at the end of the long occupation but said it will take a while for the rural area to recover. Gov. Kate Brown called the episode “very traumatic.”

“The level of harassment and intimidation by folks who were staying in the Burns community was horrific,” she said. “And the healing will take a long time.”

Ex-exec sentenced to one month in West Virginia chemical spill CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP)—A former Freedom Industries executive was sentenced Thursday to one month in federal prison for a chemical spill that fouled the drinking water supply of 300,000 West Virginians.

Dennis Farrell also was fined $20,000 in U.S. District Court.

“I’m truly sorry for what happened,” Farrell said prior to sentencing on pollution violations. “My

hope was, I wish I could go back with the knowledge I now have. I will never forget the lessons I have learned.”

The January 2014 spill of a coal-cleaning agent into the Elk River in Charleston got into a water company’s intake and prompted a tap-water ban in nine counties for up to 10 days.

Residents immediately cleared store shelves of bottled water, and many

restaurants were forced to close or cut back services temporarily.

Judge Thomas Johnston noted after environmental regulators intervened and plans were put in place for spill-prevention controls at a facility owned by Freedom in Nitro, about 14 miles west of Charleston, Farrell could have acted to ensure that similar precautions were taken at the Charleston facility.

well done. I really liked how they dug deep into the politics of it.”

Brewster described some of the current suppression of voting rights. He explained that his cousin, who lives in North Carolina, recently registered to vote and found that her polling place is 31 miles from her home.

“A lot of people are not going to do that. A lot of people cannot lose an hour of their day to vote. That’s a method of voter suppression,” Brewster said. “It’s shown and demonstrated in Selma.

(King Jr.) knew that these people would not be willing to work with them and walk and march in order to get their rights. And they were stunned by the march from Selma to Montgomery.”

Brewster also chose to show Selma in honor of Black

History Month. He finds that the march from Selma to Montgomery is not always in the curriculum for students.

“You hear this rhetoric all the time: Why do they need a black history month? It’s because it’s not getting taught any other month,” Brewster said.

Racism today is more subtle than it was in Selma’s time, but not gone, according to Brewster.

“It was a really good movie,” said Byron Hodge, a junior management information systems student.

“It really painted a picture of what African Americans had to go through to fight for their freedom, and when you watched it, you could actually feel it. It just paints a picture.”

“They are creating opportunities for our people (to) thrive, not merely survive.

They are tackling the problems facing West Virginia and applying their knowledge to solve them.”

WVU’s research is unique because the progress made in certain fields can go straight to the classrooms, King said.

“I think another important thing about being an R1 University that is kind of unique to West Virginia

University is the fact that the researchers who are engaged in this high level of research are also the faculty who teach undergraduates in the classroom,” King said. “That means that the result of research gets retranslated back into the classroom, so undergraduate students in various disciplines are learning what is occurring at the forefront of their discipline.”

WVU recently garnered national attention for its part in the Volkswagen

emission scandal, and this research was not part of the data that was used to determine the university’s research classification, King said.

“The Center for Alternative Fuels, Engines and Emissions, is a 20 plus year old entity at the institution,” King said. “The VW information came out after the data for that, so it’s an example of the kind of impact that our research has.”

Adapting to Twitter’s new feature To social media fanatics, Twitter is known as a constantly updating hub of information. To cynics, Twitter is regarded as a dumping ground of mundane information and narcissistic statements. Regardless of which statement you may agree with, developers are introducing a new feature next week that may change the fundamental function of the website for all users.

An algorithm that analyzes a tweet’s relevance will soon apply to all tweets on a user’s timeline. Tweets deemed more important and relevant by the algorithm will be placed at the top of the timeline and abandon use of chronological order. This feature will help news spread more quickly and reach a greater number of people.

However, the algorithm incorrectly assumes what people need or want to see can be indicated by previ-

Many users aren’t happy with Twitter’s use of algorithms to determine a tweet’s importance. ously retweeted and liked tweets. This may be true for a majority of users, but the algorithms risks only giving users more of what they have already experienced

and filtering out new information that may interest or concern them.

A TED talk from 2011 demonstrated that Google has already implemented

similar methods with alarming effects. Information largely considered to be pressing news could remain mysteriously absent from a search depending

on a user’s previous search terms.

In one example, a user who had used Google to find information on news websites in the past was immediately shown stories of Egypt’s revolution from major news sources upon searching the term “Egypt.”

To another, less news-oriented user, who searched the same word, links pertaining to the ongoing revolution didn’t appear at all.

Twitter introduced a similar feature several years ago that makes a user’s tweets larger if they receive more likes and retweets than others. This makes sorting through a person’s timeline easier but may also work against users. Tweets visually depicted as being more important than others can unfairly prime users to interpret them in certain ways, which doesn’t allow for impartial consumption of information.

The consequences of

this feature could be disastrous. Going so far as to predict what news Twitter users want to see creates a breeding ground for confirmation bias and “filter bubbles” that leave users trapped in the realm of only what already interests them.

Eliminating the ability to be easily confronted with new ideas and differing opinions is not beneficial to this generation. Using Twitter to only tell us more of what we want to hear and affirm our own beliefs is a gross misuse of technology.

Twitter officials have stated the feature can be disabled, but it’s likely to become the default setting for users new to the site.

Twitter may undergo many changes in the upcoming months, but hopefully its user base will continue to stay curious despite the new feature. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

commentary

Trans-Pacific Partnership is undemocratic, harmful robby ralston columnist @dailyathenaeum

What if the most important issues of our generation were being decided in the least democratic ways?

Last week, the TransPacific Partnership was signed by representatives from 12 countries, including the United States. The TPP is a multi-trillion dollar trade agreement, encompassing more than 40 percent of global GDP. This signing marked the beginning of a two-year ratification period where at least six countries must approve the text for it to go into effect.

Since 2010, the Obama administration has led negotiations for this deal, which it believes will increase exports and make American products competitive in the Asia-Pacific.

According to the White House, the TPP is “the cornerstone of the Obama Administration’s economic policy in the Asia-Pacific.”

However, despite their lofty rhetoric, the methods used by the administration in creating the agreement were highly questionable.

Until November 2015, the agreement was discussed in private, with only government officials and selective corporate representatives able to see the text. Before this point, the public could only receive details through leaks obtained by WikiLeaks and various news outlets. This meant that only after the text was more or less finalized could the public finally figure out what it said.

Governments justified

tjcnewspaper.com

The language of the Trans-Pacific Partnership wasn’t accessible by the public until after it was already revised. this secrecy, claiming that popular pressure from citizens would disrupt negotiations. In January 2015, Roberto Carvalho de Azevêdo, director-general of the World Trade Organization, urged that, in order to move negotiations forward, the involved parties must balance transparency and secrecy.

But what balance did they strike? Several international corporations got to see and advise the decision-making for the agreement, while everyday citizens and most lawmakers could not access the text until negotiations were finished. In this case, balancing transparency and secrecy meant full disclo-

sure to certain corporate executives but not the public. This is the opposite of democracy, as people are unable to witness or control the actions of their representatives.

Why would the public be kept from these negotiations? The picture becomes clearer when we consider what the TPP says. The agreement is several thousand pages long, so it is unlikely that any individual has read it in its entirety. However, human rights groups, environmental organizations and others have expressed deep concerns about its provisions, which they claim privilege corporations over people.

The Sierra Club and Friends of the Earth have warned against parts of the agreement that can allow corporations to sue countries for laws they claim hurt profits. According to the Sierra Club, similar provisions in other trade deals have been used to “attack common-sense environmental laws and regulations, such as regulations to protect communities and the environment from harmful chemicals or mining practices.”

To make matters worse, Doctors Without Borders has claimed that the deal will increase the price of medicine in developing countries and have called the agreement “the most

harmful trade agreement ever for access to medicines.” Human Rights Watch echoes this worry, saying that the TPP will both reduce access to healthcare and increase its costs by revising international rules dealing with intellectual property.

Furthermore, the International Labor Organization also claims the deal will be harmful to labor unions. Under its rules, unions will not be able to file complaints of labor violations directly but must petition their government to file the complaint, which is a process that rarely happens. To give an example, Human Rights Watch alleges that similar mea-

sures in another agreement, the Central America Free Trade Agreement, were used to prevent sanctioning Guatemala for labor violations, though over 70 union organizers have been killed since its signing.

In the coming months, it is likely that the Obama Administration or its successor will attempt to get the TPP ratified by Congress. As citizens in a free society, it is our duty to critically consider these measures and put them to the test of democracy. We can’t afford to let the cornerstones of our policies slip from popular control. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

‘F***, THAT’S DELICIOUS’

vice.com

Action Bronson returns to his culinary roots, new webseries showcases food and culture by corey elliot A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

It takes some artistic ingenuity to have success with a television show.

After 16 episodes on YouTube, “F***, That’s Delicious” will debute to television on the new Viceland cable network on Feb. 29. “F*** That’s Delicious” is a web series that combines food, culture and the unmistakable Action Bronson.

Viceland is a product of Vice, a popular culture magazine and website based out of Canada that is well-known for its unique and racy documentaries filmed all over the world.

Action Bronson morphed into a rapper by complete accident after breaking his leg in the kitchen where he found himself working for a living. It was that very accident that ultimately changed his life as he is now signed to a major label putting out art in the form of music. Bronson couldn’t let go of his roots with culinary love, though.

Thanks to clever lyrics, a distinct appearance and being well-versed with food, Action now stars in a one-of-a-kind television show.

“I never really went as far as I wanted to culinarily, but now it’s like I’m living out my dreams,” Bronson said in Vice Magazine’s trailer for the show.

Throughout the lone season on Vice’s Munchies channel on YouTube, “F*** That’s Delicious” had a handful of featured guests. One of which was Chef Mario Batali, who happens to be a big fan of Bronson’s craft. Also making appearances were rapper, RiFF RAFF; music producer, The Alchemist and entertainer, Simon Rex. But even earlier than his silver-lined leg break, Action

Bronson experimented with a self-produced web series called “Action in the Kitchen.” In those short videos, he instructed viewers how to make miscellaneous dishes.

Now, with the status and the musical success he has, it makes the show much easier to market for Vice. It’s not often that you hear of a rapping chef traveling around the world sampling some of the most exotic foods. Guy Fieri isn’t a rapper.

Joining Bronson on his wild ride of taste and touring will be his unpredictable cousin, Big Body Bes and rapper, Mayhem Lauren.

“To be able to bring two of my best friends in this world on these adventures with me, it makes it all that much more special,” Bronson said to Vice.

The Alchemist will also make appearances along the way. He’s produced multiple tracks for Bronson, including “Rare Chandeliers,” a mixtape dropped in 2012.

Since the show is filmed on tour, and often times in other countries, bringing guests onto the show isn’t as feasible as it would be stateside. In a trailer released by Vice, Bronson and actor, Henry Winkler have an improvisational chat about his unlikely career change.

“While on tour you just need to do other things than f****** rap,” Bronson said. “You have to immerse yourself into the city.”

That’s exactly what Bronson and his boys do. There’s nothing Bronson won’t try, as he’s not much of a picky eater. “F*** That’s Delicious” gives the viewers an uncensored perspective at what tour life is like with a rapperchef. Consider it an R-rated Food Network show.

IMAX film ‘National Parks Adventure’ celebrates the beauty of parks A new IMAX movie debuts Friday, starring geysers, red rock canyons, mountaintops and redwood forests.

Called “National Parks Adventure,” the film celebrates the beauty and thrills of America’s parks. It’s part of a year-long celebration marking the centennial of the National Park Service.

The movie was filmed over nine months in more than 30 national parks, including Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, Yosemite, the Grand Tetons and Death Valley.

“Over 100 years ago these treasured places were protected for eternity for everyone and the national parks were born,” intones the narrator, Robert Redford. The actor later adds that “Utah has 13 national park locations, which is precisely why I choose to live here.”

But while there’s plenty of

‘National Parks Adventure’ is available for viewing in 3-D. footage of beautiful places and wildlife, the film is much more than a series of scenic wonders. It also showcases some heart-thumping adventures undertaken by the trio featured in the film: the reallife world-class mountaineer Conrad Anker, his stepson, adventure photographer

Max Lowe and a friend, artist Rachel Pohl.

In one scene, they scale a seemingly sheer spire at Arches National Park in Utah; in another, they climb frozen waterfalls at Pictured Rocks National Seashore on Lake Superior in Michigan. There’s also footage of whitewater

rafting through the Colorado River’s raging waters at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

In between, the trio is shown planning their trip, camping out and driving empty roads while a soundtrack plays songs ranging from the Lumineers to Bruce Springsteen.

The emphasis on adven-

ture and not just beauty and history is a way of furthering the National Park Service’s efforts to attract millennials. In remarks earlier this month, Park Service Director Jon Jarvis said that bringing more 18- to 35-year-olds to national parks is one of the centennial’s goals, to “connect

with the next generation of park visitors, supporters and advocates.”

One of the film’s most thrilling scenes shows mountain bikers in Moab, Utah, on a challenging trail called Slickrock at Bartlett Wash, on Bureau of Land Management property outside Arches National Park. The bikers zoom along sandstone precipices at breathtaking speeds and fly their bikes through the air.

In one shot, a helmeted biker crashes but quickly recovers.

The scene has attracted a bit of attention because the National Park Service only allows biking on roads and designated areas in parks. A regional spokesman for the park service, Rick Frost, said the agency was OK with the scene because Redford’s narration “makes it clear that it’s not taking place” inside national park boundaries.

Loving on a budget, the best Valentine’s Day dates

by Mel smith

A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

The overly anticipated weekend of chocolates, flowers and “I love yous” is quickly approaching. Valentine’s Day on a college campus can be difficult due to expenses and mobility. A college student’s budget leads to a taco 12 pack from Taco Bell or an evening of Ramen and chill. In addition, many students do not have cars on campus, limiting date options mostly to places that are within walking distance. It may be difficult, but the time and creativity that goes into college Valentine’s Day makes it that much more memorable. The Daily Athenaeum’s Arts and Entertainment staff presents five cost effective, original Valentine’s Day dates that will make your significant other swoon.

Tailpipes and Chill?

Take a break from the bitter cold and snuggle up in a booth at Tailpipes.

The signature burger joint is known for hearty food and thick milkshakes that will satisfy your hunger for hours. The restaurant offers an exclusive flavor list including maple bacon, fruity pebbles and chocolate peanut butter nutella shakes. The walk down High Street is painless and worth the enjoyment your stomach will experience. Put two straws in the shake for an inti-

mate evening and sit on the same side of the booth to watch the television together. Although it is cheesy, the date only costs merely $6 for one milkshake or $12 for two. Personal displays of affection are not advised in a public setting.

A Trip to the Animal House While you’re down High Street, stop in the hole in the wall pet store. Sadly, they are not open on Sundays, so this would make for the perfect early Valentine’s Day activity. Animal House is completely volunteer-based, offering pets of all kinds for adoption. The date would include stopping inside the shop and seeing all of the animals. The animals change weekly, adding to the surprise factor of what you may see. Animals held at Animal House include puppies, mini alligators, rabbits, ferrets and even miniature piglets. To extend the date, buy a coffee or hot chocolate from The Grind on Willey Street and reflect on how much fun the puppies were. Sometimes, it is fun to act like a child again and sprawl out on the floor with pets. The estimated cost of this date would be the cost of the coffee, which is about four dollars total.

President’s House and Picnic This date may be weather permitting, but certainly worth the relaxation and alone time it

Tailpipes’ bacon, gouda mac and cheese is a savory option for your Valentine’s Day date. will provide. The Blaney House is located on the Engineering campus close to the WV water tower. The house itself is gated from cars, but there are benches and grass areas open to the public. Pack a basket of goodies and adventure up to the house to enjoy one of the most breathtaking views in town. The entire downtown campus can be seen from this perch, along with the Monongahela River and downtown Morgantown. The snow may keep you from picnicking, but the town covered in white is striking from this location, especially at sunset. It is the perfect place to

tell your special someone you love them or that they are as beautiful as the view.

The alone time would cost merely nothing, except energy to make it up the hill.

Local Music at Black Bear Sadly, many local restaurants are closed on Sundays. Celebrate Valentine’s Day Saturday evening with dinner at the downtown Black Bear Burritos and enjoy free local music by the band Meadow Run. Black Bear Burritos is signature to Morgantown, offering unique cuisine and spicy flavors that will warm up your night. Bond

over the live music, bottles clinking and chips crunching as you enjoy the lively atmosphere with your significant other. The ethnic menu provides a hybrid of all different types of foods put in a burrito, wrap or salad. Entrée prices vary from $510 and queso is only $5, barely burning a hole in your pocket. Plus, a date with queso is bound to be incredible.

Order Up and Netflix Snow is in the forecast for this weekend, leading to many lovebirds staying indoors. To still make the time spent special, cuddle up and watch your favor-

ite rom-coms on Netflix back-to-back. Put together a marathon including “50 First Dates”, “Silver Linings Playbook,” and “Love Actually”. If the roads are safe to travel, place online delivery orders on Order Up, a delivery service catering to students all over campus. Chinese food, Netflix and a relaxing, snowed in Sunday with your lover is the perfect formula for a Valentine’s Day well spent. The estimated cost of this date may vary but should not cost more than $25 and a little bit of love. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Country music returns to Grammys after years away NEW YORK (AP) ‑ Country music has not had an album or song nominated in the top three categories at the Grammys since 2011 when Lady Antebellum won big, but the genre is back strong, thanks to Chris Stapleton’s overall success and Little Big Town’s megahit, “Girl Crush.”

Stapleton, a hit songwriter and former leader of The SteelDrivers, is nominated for album of the year for his debut, “Traveller,” while “Girl Crush” earned songwriters Liz Rose, Hillary Lindsey and Lori McKenna nominations for song of the year.

The last time a country album was nominated for album of the year was Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now” at the 2011 Grammys (we don’t count Taylor Swift’s pop-flavored “Red” as country). That year also was the last time a country track earned nominations for song or record of the year, which Lady A took home for their crossover hit, “Need You Now” (Miranda Lambert’s “The House That Built Me” was nominated for song of the year that year too).

Charles Kelley of Lady A says the 2011 Grammys “was probably the greatest night of my musical career. It felt like a big win for the genre that night.”

Kelley, who is nominated for his first Grammy apart from his Lady A bandmates this year, said country music is returning to the top categories because Little Big Town and Stapleton made unique and unpredictable songs.

“They made the boldest records; they’re not down-the-middle records at all, and I think the Grammys always tend to recognize when someone has painted outside the lines a little bit,” he said.

Sam Hunt also is representing country music with a nomination for best new artist, a category that typically includes at least one country act.

Part of the reason country music has not earned top Grammy nominations may be because country songs don’t chart high enough on the pop- and rap-dominated Billboard Hot 100 chart. Grammy voters who are not paying attention solely to country music may not be as familiar with the genre’s songs and albums because it’s not in the mainstream as much as rap and rock.

Carrie Underwood’s “Inside Your Heaven” was the last country song to hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 2005; before that it was Lonestar in 2000 with “Amazed.” Though

magazine.foxnews.com

Miranda Lambert is a former country Grammy-nominee.

“Need You Now” and Swift’s “You Belong With Me” both peaked at No. 2, country songs often chart in the bottom half of the Top 40 pop charts and Top 10 hits are a rarity. “Girl Crush,” as big as it was, peaked at No. 18 on the Hot 100.

“It did not perform in the pop radio world anywhere near what we thought it would,” said Mike Dungan, the chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group Nashville, the home to Little Big Town, Stapleton and Hunt.

But country acts have a comfortable home with country radio, and can reach double platinum status without crossing over to pop, which is not the case for rap,

rock and R&B acts.

“Back when country was really present on pop radio - let’s take this as far back as the ‘80s - these records were really worked to all the formats at the same time ,” Dungan said.

But today, “country radio ... (doesn’t) like it when artists crossover. They look at those artists as if they are opportunists who are looking at country as a maybe a stepping stone to a bigger, broader world,” he said.

“And so those of us who have been on this side of the business, the labels, the artists, their managers, have been very cautious about when you pull that trigger to cross over.”

Because music fans today listen to a wide range of genres, once “Girl Crush” was sent to pop radio, it had already been heard by some of that audience: “It was already kind of burned out,” Dungan said.

At Monday’s Grammys, Little Big Town’s “Pain Killer” is nominated for best country album, while “Girl Crush” is also up for best country song and country duo/group performance.

“For some reason this song spoke to people ... I don’t know if it was controversial, I don’t know what it was,” said Rose, who cowrote “Girl Crush” and also co-wrote Swift’s “You Belong With Me,” which was nominated for song and record of the year at the 2010 Grammys. “’You Belong With Me’ crossed over ... so that makes sense to me.

This does not make sense. ...It turned into a song, and not just country, and it’s just a universal song that people, even if they don’t know country (music), they know the song.”

Stapleton’s nominations include best country song, solo performance and album for “Traveller.” His album became a No. 1 smash after his show-stopping performance with Justin Timberlake at the CMA Awards, along with three-for-three wins.

His competition for album of the year includes No. 1 efforts from Swift, Kendrick Lamar, Alabama Shakes and The Weeknd.

Though Lady A, Stapleton and Little Big Town have had crossover success, that doesn’t always equate to Grammy love.

Florida Georgia Line, who had a Top 5 pop hit with its “Cruise” remix with rapper Nelly in 2013, didn’t earn a single nomination; Luke Bryan, despite selling millions of albums and tickets at stadiums, has never earned a Grammy nomination. Both acts fit in the category of the sometimes frownedupon “bro-country” genre.

“I can make a presumption that the Grammys kind of viewed that music as a bit pedestrian and banal and not art worthy,” said John Marks, Spotify’s global head of country music, where the genre is the third most active behind pop and hip-hop.

Marks added that the Grammys tend to lean to songs that are “more lyric and artdriven, and largely commercially-driven.”

“And that hasn’t happened in a little while, and the opportunity has presented itself with Chris Stapleton and Little Big Town.”

As ‘Force Awakens’ winds down, ‘Avatar’ remains supreme NEW YORK (AP) ‑ Two months after opening to unprecedented fanfare, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is finally winding down in theaters, leaving behind arsenals of plastic lightsabers and a trail of boxoffice records.

“The Force Awakens” is still playing in more than 2,000 theaters in North America and remains ranked in the top-five at the box office as it enters its ninth week of release. But the lion’s share of its theatrical revenue has been pocketed, and one thing is abundantly clear: it’s not going to touch “Avatar.”

Regardless of further receipts, “The Force Awakens” (currently with $2.008 billion worldwide) will slot in at No. 2 all-time on the global box office list, if you don’t account for inflation or rereleases. That’s slightly ahead of James Cameron’s “Titanic” ($1.84 billion before a later 3-D release pushed it to $2.18 bil-

lion) but light years behind “Avatar” ($2.79 billion).

“The Force Awakens” was by any measure a massive hit: a fullblown if prepackaged cultural phenomenon that drove moviegoers en masse to theaters in a way that some thought was no longer possible in an increasingly multi-screen media world. It has already made the Walt Disney Co. heaps of cash and it has set the franchise up to reap oodles more in merchandising, theme park attractions and sequels.

But even the most colossal hit of the decade - one with all the firepower of arguably the movies’ biggest franchise - was no match for Cameron’s 2009 3-D sensation.

Though some forecast “The Force Awakens” to rival “Avatar” and possibly become the first $3 billion movie, that mark has never seemed more out of reach. “’Avatar’ is sitting on top of that

global mountain, looking down and saying, ‘Just try to catch me,’” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore. “That’s a record that’s going to stand for a long time. And we know it now more than ever.”

Though “The Force Awakens” set a record in North America ($906.7 million and counting), it was less of a phenomenon in some overseas territories. Most notably in China, where “Star Wars” doesn’t have the same history with moviegoers. Had “The Force Awakens” performed at the same rate internationally as it did in the U.S., it would have toppled “Avatar.”

Currency devaluation in some countries between 2009 and 2106 also help account for the distance between “The Force Awakens” and “Avatar,” perhaps as much as hundreds of millions.

It’s just one more example of how

box office rankings don’t take into account countless variables (inflation, ticket prices, media competition) that affect every release. Adjust for inflation and the record domestic haul of “The Force Awakens,” is dwarfed by 1939’s “Gone With the Wind,” which made approximately $1.7 billion in North America in inflation-adjusted dollars. Each era has its own mega blockbusters.

“We’re taking a little more time just to appreciate the run and the response without paying too much attention to ranking and ratings,” said Dave Hollis, head of distribution for Disney. “There’s still business to be had in this run and possibly if we decide to do a reissue of this film now or ahead of Episode VIII, or whatever it might be.”

Regardless, the $4 billion investment Disney made when it purchased LucasFilm is already looking like a bargain, and the mammoth

success of “The Force Awakens” in movie theaters is only part of it.

Analysts expect merchandizing revenues from “Star Wars” to bring in some $5 billion for Disney in 2015 and 2016. “Star Wars” is also driving more visitors to Disney’s theme parks. Ground will soon be broken on a 14-acre “Star Wars” area in Disneyland.

Most importantly, director J.J. Abrams reinvigorated the franchise with a crowd-pleasing, critically praised reboot that pulled in new fans and put in motion a profit-creating system of galactic proportions.

“It started with a fantastic film that absolutely delivered,” said Hollis. “For what it meant not just off of some big opening weekends but for the playability over the last couple of months and really for what it means in setting up the franchise for the future, everyone couldn’t be any happier.”

Jonathan Holton is slated to return after serving a four game suspension.

Holton scheduled to return as WVU faces Horned Frogs on Saturday

BY DAVID STATMAN SPORTS EDITOR @DJSTATMAN77

Sitting in a three-way tie for first place in the Big 12 with a critical run of conference games looming, the West Virginia University men’s basketball team (19-5, 8-3 Big 12) was just searching for numbers.

The Mountaineers’ frenetic style means head coach Bob Huggins needs to employ a deep bench, but a key suspension and lack of contribution from his reserves was one of the main deciding factors Tuesday night, as West Virginia became the 38th team in a row to fall at Kansas’ Phog Allen Fieldhouse.

“We just didn’t have enough people,” Huggins said after Tuesday night’s loss. “To play the way we

play, we need more people. Our philosophy is our 10 is better than their 10.

Now, we’re down to about eight, so we’ve got to get those other guys playing and doing some things.”

But tomorrow afternoon against TCU (11-13, 2-9), West Virginia will get some major help on that front, as senior forward Jonathan Holton is set to return from a four-game suspension for a violation of team rules.

One of WVU’s most tenacious rebounders and a vital piece of the Mountaineer press, Holton started every game this season before his suspension, averaging 9.7 points and 7.5 rebounds, second on the team.

H o l t o n ’s absence pushed junior Nathan Adrian into the starting lineup, and the Morgan-

town High School product responded by averaging nine points a game in his four starts – making six of his eight 3-point attempts – and earning praise for his defense.

It was one of the best runs of play in Adrian’s career, and Holton’s return means that there’s a lineup change to make: Huggins must decide whether Adrian should return to the bench or remain in the starting lineup over either the returning Holton or struggling freshman Esa Ahmad.

Either way, Holton’s return means that the WVU bench is much deeper, and it was WVU’s reserves who tipped the balance last time the Mountaineers faced off with TCU. West Virginia faced the Horned Frogs on the road on Jan. 4, in the Moun-

taineers’ second game of the conference schedule. Two days after a wild double-overtime shootout win over Kansas State, the Mountaineers got into another dogfight in Fort Worth, ultimately emerging 95-87 winners after big performances from bench guards Jaysean Paige and Tarik Phillip.

Although foul trouble limited him to only 15 minutes, Paige exploded with a game-high 20 points on 6-8 shooting; meanwhile, Phillip scored 18, hitting a late 3-pointer that jumpstarted a 14-2 run that surged WVU past the Horned Frogs late.

“Tarik Phillip wills us to win,” Huggins said after WVU’s last matchup with TCU. “He makes plays at both ends of the floor, he gets rebounds. I don’t know where we’d be today

in this game without him.”

Since that game, West Virginia and TCU have gone in opposite directions. TCU rebounded with a one-point win over Texas a few days later, and then went on a sevengame conference losing streak, only snapping their skid with a 63-56 win over Oklahoma State on Monday.

Fourth-year head coach Trent Johnson, former head man at Nevada, Stanford and LSU, has yet to lead the Horned Frogs to their first NCAA Tournament since 1998 and has never beaten the Mountaineers in conference play.

This year’s TCU squad is the lowest-scoring team in the Big 12 Conference, averaging only 68 points a game. TCU has only three players shooting bet-

ter than 40 percent from the field, and sophomore guard Malique Trent leads the Horned Frogs with a pedestrian 11 points per game. Guard Chauncey Collins (10.5 points per game) and Slovakian forward Vladimir Brodziansky (10.4 points per game) are the only other TCU players averaging doubledigit scoring.

And most crucial to the Mountaineers, TCU turns the ball over more than any other Big 12 team, with 14.3 giveaways a night. With Holton back in the lineup, Press Virginia could run the Horned Frogs ragged on Saturday.

The West Virginia-TCU game is set for noon tomorrow at the WVU Coliseum and will be televised live on ESPNU. djstatman@mail.wvu.edu

WVU looking to extend Big 12 winning streak at No. 20 Cowgirls

By Roger Turner Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Undefeated thus far in February, the West Virginia women’s basketball team will strive for a fourth-consecutive conference win on Saturday when the team travels to take on No. 20 Oklahoma State, in Stillwater.

WVU closed out a twogame home stand defeating Iowa State in the first of two matchups this season. The Mountaineers walked away victorious,

winning 57-47 to make it three-straight double-digit victories against Big 12 opponents. West Virginia is 8-4 in conference play and has won five of their last seven games in convincing fashion. The Mountaineers have a chance to take control of third place in the Big 12 with a win on Saturday as Oklahoma State also boasts an 8-4 conference record and currently ties WVU for third place.

Saturday’s contest in Stillwater will be the first of two meetings between

the two Big 12 programs this season. A year ago, the Cowgirls and Mountaineers split the series with both teams pulling out a victory on the road.

Winning in Stillwater has been a tough task for any opponent making a visit to take on the Cowgirls court in 2015-16. They have only suffered one loss at home this season, to Texas in January. However, Oklahoma State managed to pull out the win against No. 4 Baylor back in December to hand the Lady Bears their first and only

loss of the year.

“Oklahoma State will challenge us and we have to come ready to play,” said WVU head coach Mike Carey.

Following Wednesday’s win over Iowa State, Carey was critical of the below average crowd in attendance at the WVU Coliseum and hinted at Saturday’s trip to a larger crowd in the Midwest possibly giving his team more of a competitive drive.

“It’s like night and day when you have excitement in the crowd,” Carey said.

“It really makes you want to play harder. If we don’t play hard when we go on the road, the crowd will be in the game the whole time.”

After a shaky 2-3 start to begin conference play, Oklahoma State has only dropped one of its last seven games. The one defeat came against Texas just this past Wednesday.

Before losing to the Longhorns, Oklahoma State had defeated rival Oklahoma twice and solidified its case as a contender in the Big 12 stand-

ings this season. With a tiebreaker on the line when West Virginia comes to Stillwater on Saturday, the matchup between the Cowgirls and Mountaineers is crucial. Both programs that are faced with ranked conference opponents over the next two contests.

The showdown in Stillwater tips off at 6 p.m., and a live stream will be available for Mountaineer fans via the IMG Mountaineer Sports Network. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Men’s Basketball

Mountaineers continued to grow during Holton’s absence from team

BY CHRIS JACKSON

ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR @CJACKSONWVU

Senior Jonathan Holton has been reinstated after serving a four-game suspension for a violation of team rules and is scheduled to return for Saturday’s game against TCU. In Holton’s absence, the Mountaineers continued to develop into one of the Big 12’s top teams. They found a way into first place despite missing the critical energizing presence Holton brings every night.

They went 2-2 against some of the toughest competition, including winning two of three since suffering an 88-71 defeat at Florida in the first game without Holton.

But, it’s been an uphill climb ever since as WVU has found a rhythm.

“We’ve grown a lot,” said

WVU junior Devin Williams. “When Jonathan comes back, we should just grow some more and keeping batting away, getting better and getting ready for the tournament.”

WVU edged its way past Iowa State in Ames last week for its first win without Holton. No. 13 Iowa State once held a 21-8 lead in the earlier parts of the evening, but Devin Williams’ efforts on the boards (career-high 18 rebounds) catapulted a WVU comeback en route to an 81-76 victory.

Williams held star Rico Gathers to five points on 1-of-9 shooting in a huge 80-69 victory over No. 15 Baylor, lifting the Mountaineers to a top-10 ranking behind Daxter Miles’ season-high 20 points.

“I just did a good job with the scouting report and dialing in and focusing in and

watching a lot of film,” Williams said. “I did the best I could with him. Rico, he’s a great player. He’s going to bounce back. You’ve got to give him credit.”

Gathers and Taurean Prince went a combined 6-of-26 from the field, with Prince failing to convert on any of his five attempts from three-point range in large part to junior Nathan Adrian’s tenacious defense.

It’s been Adrian who’s stepped up the most. Replacing the suspended Holton on both sides of the ball is no easy feat, but Adrian’s uncanny work ethic has impressed everyone around him.

“He’s been stepping up big,” said senior guard Jaysean Paige about Adrian.

“Like last year with Juwan (Staten) and Gary (Browne) hurt, other guys stepped up. It’s a similar situation and Nate’s been coming

in and playing his tail off.

He’s been guarding great players and playing good offense.”

Adrian’s scored in double-figures in three of the last five games, converting 80 percent of his shots from long range. He entered the Holton suspension averaging just 3.3 points per game, struggling to find any rhythm offensively.

“I think it has given Nate (Adrian) the opportunity to play and play with some confidence,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins.

“I think he has been really good.”

WVU’s been in similar types of situations under Huggins. They were without senior leaders Gary Browne and Juwan State numerous times last season, but freshman guard Jevon Carter matured his way into a future leader for the Mountaineers.

It’s been the same for this year’s team and it’s arguably worked out even better. WVU hasn’t been ranked in the top 10 since the 2010 Final Four run, and they haven’t needed to utilize the press as much to be effective.

Different players have stepped up on different occasions. One night Daxter Miles comes through, some nights it’s Devin Williams.

Many nights it’s Jaysean Paige off the bench.

“We would love to have Jon (Holton) back, he’s one of our leaders,” Miles said.

“That just says that with one of our teammates is down, other guys step up and that’s what we try to do.”

The Mountaineers are in a three-way tie for first place with No. 3 Oklahoma and No. 6 Kansas. They’ve become a potential Final Four contender, showcas-

ing how deep and together the team has been since their most heralded defender was suspended.

Holton is the head of the press, getting in the inbound passer’s face and deflecting passes countless times. He leads the team with 81 offensive rebounds and opponents struggle stopping him near the rim on second-chance opportunities.

That’s where Holton excels. They were without him for four games, but now he’s back and WVU’s recent growth and maturity has players believing the best is yet to come.

“There’s a new identity to our team,” Williams said.

“As long as we go out there and play as hard as we’ve been playing the last three or four games, I don’t see anybody beating us.” cgjackson@mix.wvu.edu

#3 MALIQUE TRENT Sophomore, G 6-2 185lbs

TCU’s leading scorer averaging 11 points per game...transferred to TCU from New Mexico Junior College...from Portsmouth, VA… his Facebook job description is “Shooter at ‘On the Basketball Court’...takes selfies with his tongue out...was a redshirt at Norfolk State before transferring to NMJC...was the number 1 rated Junior College Guard in last year’s class...had offers from Creighton, Colorado State, and Tennessee among others...was referred to as a “big piece of the foundation” to rebuild TCU basketball.

@MaliqueTrent

BOO HIM EVERY TIME HE TOUCHES THE BALL

After a tough loss on the road at the Phog, the Mountaineers come home for the weekend before traveling to Austin to play at #24 Texas.

The Mountaineers have already defeated TCU in Fort Worth earlier this season by a score of 95-87. While TCU is only 11-13, their record is not indicative of the quality of a team they are, so it’s up to you to come out and help the Mountaineers secure another valuable Big 12 win in a sold out Coliseum. So get up early Saturday morning, eat some breakfast, drink a Gatorade and head on down to the Coliseum and support your team!

LET’S GO MOUNTAINEERS!

Has never year...originally from San Antonio, Texas. beaten Bob Huggins...looks like Voldemort with a nose.

VISITOR INTRODUCTIONS: Turn around and read the paper while the opposing lineup is announced, then rip the paper up and throw it up like confetti when WVU makes its first basket JUMP: Just jump up and down and go nuts after a made 3-pointer or dunk!

SHOT CLOCK: Alternate countdown methods, first when the opponent has the ball and the shot clock reaches thirteen, countdown beginning from 10. For the next countdown begin when the shot clock reaches 7, but countdown beginning from 10. Switching the countdown every time can really screw up timing.

OPPONENT FOULING OUT: As the player steps, chant: “Left, Right, Left, Right” until the player sits down then yell “SIT DOWN!”

BY JOEL NORMAN SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

After pulling off an upset last weekend, the West Virginia University wrestling team will look to do the same this weekend.

This time, the match won’t be against Pitt or at the WVU Coliseum. Instead, they will have two opportunities to pull off upsets, both on the road. The Mountaineers take on the South Da-

kota State Jackrabbits tomorrow at 8 p.m. then battle the Iowa State Cyclones at 3 p.m. on Sunday.

In this week’s USA Today/ National Wrestling Coaches Association poll, the Jackrabbits are ranked No. 24 and the Cyclones are No.16.

The Mountaineers did not appear in this week’s poll, Last Sunday, West Virginia defeated then-No. 17 Pitt, 18-12. With the loss, the Panthers fell to No. 21 in the new rankings.

The Mountaineers defeated their top rival in part thanks to a huge win by junior Tony DeAngelo. Despite being down as much as 6-2, DeAngelo rallied to defeat Pitt’s Nick Zanetta in the 141-pound bout.

“I think (Tony’s win) epitomizes our team. His whole month has kind of been like our team,” said head coach Sammie Henson in an interview with WVUsports. com after the match. “We’ve faced some of the top guys in

the country. I think that set the stage for today. (It was) perseverance and just staying focused and not giving up. He was down by four or five and just kept battling.

That’s the sign of a team.

That’s the sign of an individual who wants to do it for himself and the team, and I think that’s a sign of our family.”

On Friday, South Dakota State brings in two wrestlers ranked by InterMat Wrestling: No. 6 Cody Pack at 157

pounds and No. 12 Nathan Rotert at 197 pounds. West Virginia’s Jacob A. Smith, ranked No. 9 at 197 pounds, will face a tough opponent in Rotert.

The match with Iowa State will be West Virginia’s third Big 12 dual of the season and their first since losing to Oklahoma on Jan. 17. The Cyclones also send two InterMat ranked wrestlers onto the mat this weekend: No. 11 Tanner Weatherman at 165 pounds and No. 8 Earl Hall

at 133 pounds.

The Mountaineers hope that their win in the Backyard Brawl can propel them towards their first winning streak since winning all three duals in the Mountaineer Quad. To do that, West Virginia needs to continue to pull off upsets and hopefully get back into the top 25 rankings soon. Their chance to start a new streak begins on Friday afternoon. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WOMEN’S TENNIS

WVU set for challenging weekend slate at Liberty, Virginia Tech

By Neel Madhavan Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

The West Virginia women’s tennis team will make a twomatch swing through the state of Virginia as they continue with the non-conference slate of their spring sched-

ule this weekend. To open things up, the Mountaineers (3-1) will travel to Lynchburg, Virginia, where they will face the Liberty Lady Flames (23), followed on Sunday by a matchup against No. 48 Virginia Tech (4-3).

“We know we’re doing the right things,” said WVU head

coach Miha Lisac. “We know we’re moving down the right path. Sometimes results will come earlier, sooner, and sometimes results will come later. We have to stay focused and continue to chip away at learning the lessons, doing the right things, getting better, and staying patient at the

same time.”

Liberty comes into the match with a win over Elon.

The Lady Flames are led by sophomore Evangeline Crist and junior Maria Khval, who both boast 3-2 singles records.

Liberty is strong in doubles, so the Mountaineers will need to get off to a fast start in order to put away the Lady Flames.

The Hokies are a battletested team, having played a number of national tournaments during the fall season and a few tough opponents this spring already. Don’t be fooled by their 4-3 record.

This is a team that can beat anyone on any day.

Just two weeks ago, Virginia Tech’s No. 1 singles player, junior Francesca

Fusinato, dismantled Clemson’s Joana Eidukonyte, the No. 1 player in the country according to the ITA rankings, in straight sets. The Hokies are a veteran team, with upperclassmen making up four of their six starting singles positions, including seniors Kelly Williford and Raluca Mita.

“We definitely are going to have to be ready to go,” Lisac said. “They have a lineup of players that can play very well on any particular day and we have to be ready and prepared to deal with that.”

This isn’t the first time this season the Mountaineers have faced Virginia Tech in some capacity. At the ITA Regionals in October, senior Hailey Barrett and sophomore Habiba Shaker each

fell to a Hokie player in the Round of 64 of the main singles draw. Barrett fell to VT’s Williford in a tough three set battle, while Shaker lost to VT’s Fusinato. Both West Virginia players will be looking for revenge against the Hokies this weekend.

The Mountaineers are coming off three straight easy wins, but Virginia Tech is likely the toughest non-conference opponent that they will face until Big 12 Conference play begins in mid-March.

West Virginia takes to the court today at 2 p.m. against the Lady Flames in Lynchburg, Virginia, and then head to Blacksburg to face Virginia Tech at 10 a.m. Sunday. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
