Messagefrom the

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

Dear Friend of West Virginia University Athletics,

The 2007-08 athletic season continued what has been a Golden Era for Mountaineer Intercollegiate Athletics.

On-and-off the playing fields our student-athletes turned in spectacular performances. On behalf of the entire

department, I am pleased to present you this Annual Report.

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

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,

Ed Pastilong

Director of Athletics

West Virginia University

WVU’s 30th-place finish in the U.S. Sports Academy Directors’

Cup was its best finish ever.

Senior swimmer Nick Delic and volleyball senior Kailee Goold were selected as the recipients of the 2008 Red Brown Cup, pre-sented annually to West Virginia University’s most outstanding all-around student-athlete. The Red Brown Cup encompasses the student-athlete’s athletic, academic and civic achievement. The WVU Athletic Council voted this year to annually award the top male and female student-athletes.

A native of Avon Lake, Ohio, Goold helped the Mountaineer volleyball team to a 16-14 overall record in 2007, an improve-ment of 13 victories from the previous season. Goold finished

her Mountaineer career with 3,337 career assists, good for fourth all-time in WVU history. She also tallied 1,225 assists

in her senior campaign which ranked her third in single-season assists.

Goold graduated with a dual major in history and political science and has plans of attending law school.

She is a BIG EAST Academic All-Star and a member of WVU’s Athletic Director’s Academic Honor Roll. She was

a three-time ESPN The Magazine academic first-team All-District II honoree.

In the community, Goold was a member of the WVU Student Athlete Advisory Committee

for two years and volunteered her time at the Ronald McDonald House and with

Adopt-A-Highway. A member of Pi Sigma Alpha and Golden Key Interna-

tional Honor Society, Goold has also been a teacher’s aid at Eastview

Elementary and Bay Village High.

A four-year letterwinner, Delic garnered six All-America dis-

tinctions during his Moun-

Red Brown Cuptaineer career, the first coming after his 13th-place finish in the 100-breast stroke and as a member of the 200-freestyle relay in 2006. In 2007, he earned All-America honors as a member of the seventh-place 200-free relay team, and honorable-mention honors for his contributions on the 11th-place 400-free relay, the 16th-place 200-medley team and on the 11th-place 400-medley relay team. Delic leaves WVU with or as part of four school records, one WVU Natatorium record and three BIG EAST Conference records.

A native of Split, Croatia, who graduated this spring with a degree in finance, Delic was an Academic All-American member of WVU’s Athletic Director’s Honor Roll and a BIG EAST Academic All-Star. He also mentored many young swimmers during his career.

The award is in memory of Robert “Red” Brown, former WVU coach and athletic director.

The WVU Athletic Director’s Academic Honor Roll member graduated in December 2007, with a degree in athletic coaching education. Schmitt has volunteered at local schools, speaking about the importance of staying in school and avoiding alcohol and drugs. He has also visited the sick at area hospitals.

The award was started to honor the retirement of Fred Schaus, who had outstanding success as a Mountaineer basketball player, coach and athletic director.

Women’s soccer captain Ashley Banks, men’s basketball captain Darris Nichols and football captain Owen Schmitt won the 2008 Fred Schaus Captain’s Award, presented annually to West Virginia University’s most outstanding varsity team captains.

The winner must display outstanding sportsmanship and leader-ship, representing WVU well in all aspects. Winners are selected by the WVU Athletic Council. The council voted this year to annually award the top male and female captains. This year, there was a tie in voting for the men’s captaincy.

Banks, a four-year letterwinner and 2007 team captain, guided the Mountaineers to a BIG EAST cham-pionship and a berth in the NCAA tournament’s Elite Eight in her senior season. The Mountaineers posted an 18-5-2 record, tying the school’s mark for most wins in a season. In her senior campaign, the Annandale, Va., native led WVU with 38 points and 15 goals en route to being named the BIG EAST’s Offensive Player of the Year and a first-team all-conference selection. The Hermann Trophy semifinalist and NSCAA third team All-American will graduate with a degree in forensic science and was named an ESPN The Maga-zine Academic All-American and NSCAA Scholar All-American.

A member of the WVU Athletic Director’s Academic Honor Roll and a BIG EAST Academic All-Star, Banks is involved in several community service initiatives such as youth soccer, West Virginia ODP, soccer school of excellence and also volunteers as a fund-raiser for the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center.

Nichols, a two-time team captain and native of Radford, Va., won the 2008 BIG EAST Sportsmanship Award and ap-peared in a school record 141 consecu-tive games. His 141 games played also set a new school standard as he started 73-consecutive games at point guard during his junior and senior seasons. He also set an NCAA record for most games played without fouling out

(141). Nichols guided WVU to a 99-42 record during his career and

the 2005 Elite Eight, 2006 Sweet 16, 2007 NIT cham-pionship and 2008 Sweet 16. He posted 399 assists in 3,528 career minutes during his career. He also tallied 993 career points. A graduate in sociology, Nichols is a member of the WVU Athletic Director’s Academic Honor Roll and a BIG EAST Academic All Star. During his career, he also volunteered with Special Olympics, participated in Read Aloud programs at area schools

and visited patients at area hospitals.
