Clutch veterans fueled WVU’s run to Omaha
June 10, 2026
West Virginia’s run to the 2026 College World Series did not come out of nowhere. The Mountaineers returned several key players from last season’s deep postseason push, and few with experience dating back to 2024. These are battle-tested athletes with multiple Super Regional appearances under their belts. A core group delivered game-changing hits and performances in last year’s postseason and returned to do the same in 2026 on an even bigger stage....
If you haven’t heard yet, No. 16 WVU Baseball clinched a trip to Omaha Saturday for the first time in program history. In just three days’ time, the Mountaineers, along with seven other teams, will take the field with the same goal: to become the 2026 Men’s College World Series Champions.
The WNBA is a month into its season, and rosters are settling into place. Two former Mountaineers are finding their footing in the league. JJ Quinerly and Jordan Harrison are fighting to earn a spot in the league, and, for Harrison, it was not easy. She has had an up-and-down start to the season, but may have found a home in Portland.
