Paul Schoenfeld continued to make the jump to Division I baseball look rather easy Tuesday. To that effect, West Virginia also made it look pretty easy in knocking off Maryland, 10-3, inside Kendrick Family Ballpark. Schoenfeld, an outfielder who transferred to WVU this season from Division II Colorado Mesa, went 3 for 5, including a run-scoring triple in the second inning.

As it turns out, Sydney Shaw had another reason to be motivated to help the 15th-ranked WVU women’s basketball team capture the Big 12 women’s tournament. It came from the other Big 12 coaches, who omitted Shaw’s name from the all-Big 12 team that was released prior to the start of the tournament. “Sydney Shaw was fantastic in this tournament,” said WVU head coach Mark Kellogg, who is not permitted to vote for his players for all-Big 12 honors. “She earned this right. It’s absolutely crazy to me that she didn’t make an all-conference team. “She led our league in ...
