Miles Sadler and Skylar Forbes earn Big 12 honors after fast starts for WVU
November 10, 2026
Two newcomers have given WVU Basketball a fast start, and the Big 12 has taken notice. Freshman Miles Sadler of WVU Men’s Basketball was named Big 12 Freshman of the Week and to the Big 12 Starting Five on the men’s side. Senior transfer Skylar Forbes of WVU Women’s Basketball was named to the women’s Big 12 Starting Five. Both are newcomers to WVU, but are poised for big roles for their respective teams....
No. 1 seed BYU advanced in the Big 12 Tournament, beating No. 8 West Virginia 4-2 in a penalty-kick shootout. The teams played to a 1-1 draw through two overtimes at Texas Health Mansfield Stadium in Mansfield, Texas. Sophie Sivulich gave the Cougars a 1-0 lead in the 14th minute. Maya Leoni tied it for the Mountaineers with nine seconds left in regulation. West Virginia outshot BYU 24-11 but could not find the go-ahead goal.
WVU Athletics delivered a busy weekend of results across multiple sports, highlighted by a signature ranked victory on the volleyball court. The Mountaineers also closed the fall golf season with a strong performance in Hawaii, competed in the pool against a power conference foe, and opened dual wrestling with a dominate shutout.
