On-and-off the playing fields our student-athletes turned in spectacular performances. On behalf of the entire from the department, I am pleased to present you this Annual Report. Message This report will highlight a year of outstanding accomplishments by our teams, student-athletes and coaches that led to a 30th-place finish in the U.S. Sports Academy Director’s Cup, our best finish ever, and the second-best DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS finish among all BIG EAST schools. The fall season saw our football team win its fourth BIG EAST Championship in the last three years and it won its third straight New Year’s Day bowl win with a convincing victory against Oklahoma in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The team finished in the top 10 for the third-straight year (the first time that has happened in school history). Women’s soccer continued its run of excellence with its eighth-straight NCAA berth, advancing to the NCAA Tournament’s “Elite Eight” for the first time in program history. The women’s soccer team also won the BIG EAST tournament for the first time in school history and finished No. 7 nationally. The cross country team won its first-ever BIG EAST Championship, placed ninth at NCAAs, its highest-ever finish, and had two first-team All-Americans. Men’s soccer made its third consecutive NCAA appearance and finished the year No. 13 in the country. Winter saw the men’s basketball team record 26 victories (third-most in school history) en route to a BIG EAST Tournament semifinal appearance and its third “Sweet 16” appearance in the last four seasons. The women’s basketball team advanced to its second consecutive NCAA tournament appearance after a 25-win season, the second-most wins in school history, and a BIG EAST Tournament semifinal appearance. Swimming and Diving set 14 school and three BIG EAST records at the BIG EAST championship and Kevin Donohue became the first individual male swimmer in school history to garner individual All-America accolades. Wrestlers Jared Villers and Kurt Brenner won EWL titles while gymnastics won its sixth EAGL title and advanced to its 30th postseason appearance in 31 years. Rifle finished sixth at the NCAA tournament with two All-Americans and coach Jon Hammond was named the GARC Coach of the Year. Indoor track boasted two BIG EAST champions and Marie-Louise Asselin and the distance medley relay team were named first team All-Americans. In the spring, baseball’s Jedd Gyorko was named the BIG EAST Rookie of the Year after helping the Mountaineers post a 35-win season. He and Tyler Kuhn were named All-Americans. Success wasn’t limited solely to the fields of play as soccer’s Ashley Banks and Pat Carroll, football’s Reed Williams and basketball’s Alex Ruoff were named Academic All-Americans. More than 375 Mountaineer student- athletes earned a spot on the Athletic Director’s Academic Honor Roll, while more than 100 Mountaineers were named BIG EAST Academic All-stars. In closing, I want to thank you for your continued support of the WVU intercollegiate athletic program. It provides the foundation for our student-athletes’ success in the classroom and on the field. For that, we are sincerely grateful. Sincerely, WVU’s 30th-place finish in the U.S. Sports Academy Directors’ Cup was its best finish ever.
