West Virginia’s lone goal was scored by senior forward Yutaro Tsukada, his tenth of the season, in the 72nd minute. Junior defender Carlos Hernando was credited with an assist on the goal.

Claudia DiLima, Toby Sherman, and Kylie Tuttle from U92’s news staff spoke on the WV SNAP program and the Farm Bill this past Monday, November 13th. They talked to Sydni Vega, Kristen McCartney, Aurie Acciavatti, and Cheryl Prichard about the importance of the SNAP program and resources for how those struggling with food insecurity can gain assistance. McCartney, the SNAP ED director for the state emphasized the importance of nutrition security and finding nutritional foods that will fulfill people’s needs and prevent disease. Acciavatti and Prichard are both board members and volunteers for Morgantown Community Kitchen. The Kitchen provides  a hot and nutritious meal every weekday for anyone who may need it. West Virginia is the fourth hungriest state in the country, and Prichard talked about how all types of people come into the Kitchen, especially parents. Vega, the Program Assistant for Student Engagement and Leadership at the Rack, talked about how many people don’t even realize they’re food insecure and how anyone can end up struggling. The most recent example being the pandemic and how many households then became dependent on SNAP.

There is no other album like the debut "Youth" from Ohio pop-punk group Citizen. Led by main vocalist Mat Kerekes, followed by brothers Nick (lead guitar) and Eric (bass) Hamm, Ryland Oehlers (rhythm guitar), and then drummer Mike Armstrong, Citizen burst onto the scene and instantly released a cult classic in “Youth” which celebrated 10 years back in June 2023. 

Like my previous album review of “Songs to Scream at the Sun” by Have Heart, “Youth” shares the same theme. Youth is defined as “the period between childhood and adult age”. The LP shares the turmoil and heartbreak of being within that odd phase, where you don’t know what to do, but know enough to understand what is going on. 

Morgantown, W.Va. (Oct. 18, 2023) - U92 the Moose will be broadcasting the men’s soccer game on Wednesday at 7pm as the #1 ranked Marshall University Thundering Herd will arrive at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium for a matchup against the #9 ranked Mountaineers.

Pregame coverage of the matchup can also be found on U92, beginning at 6:30pm and continuing all the way up until kickoff.

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.
