West Virginia University’s Women’s soccer team is closing in on the end of their 2023 season. The team is 5-7-3 Overall with a  3-3-1 record in conference. 

The team started 2-3-0 in August with wins against Saint Francis winning 9-0 and a 1-0 result against Duquesne. They did however lose 2-0 to Duke, 2-1 to Penn State and 2-1 to Virginia.

Many albums that I love are celebrating anniversaries this year, some older than others. These next few weeks I will review some of my favorites and share my love for all kinds of music. 

The now defunct Have Heart was formed in 2002 by vocalist Patrick Flynn, guitarist Ryan Hudon, and bassist Ryan Briggs. After releasing a demo in November 2003, the trio was slowly climbing the ranks within the Boston hardcore scene. By 2005, they signed to a bigger label and added drummer Shawn Costa alongside guitarist Kei Yasui. Their first EP titled “The Things We Carry” was released in 2006, cementing Have Heart into the center of not only Boston hardcore, but the entire hardcore scene.

On August 20, 2023 the U92 staff met in the Mountainlair for their fall 2023 orientation. The staff was comprised of many new and returning members of the station. They discussed ideas for the future of the station and what they can do to build upon its legacy.  

The on air staff separated into break out sessions to discuss DJing, sports broadcasting and news broadcasting. The promotion team spoke about branding and what they hope to accomplish this year. The staff is excited to get to work.

When I stepped onto campus at West Virginia University in 2019, my mission was to become a manager on the basketball team. There was not much else I wanted at the time. I talked to Josh Eilert of WVU Basketball and he told me that there were no spots left, and that I should join the radio station as that would be more conducive to my career goals.

He could not have told me a better thing to do. My freshman year was filled with U92 memories such as rambunctious sports nights on Wednesdays, the first 92ers intramural basketball team and getting together with the boys to watch various sporting events. The most pivotal moment of that year was starting my mixed martial arts podcast, Throwin’ Hands, which made me realize what I wanted to do in life.

U92 the Moose is conducting its first ever pledge drive.
