WVU Tech Athletics

The WVU Tech Athletic Department has announced its Golden Bear Athletes of the Week for March 30–April 5, 2026. This week’s honors go to junior JJ Polvinale (baseball) and sophomore Taylor Scott (softball) following standout performances in collegiate competition.

JJ Polvinale (Ranson, W.Va.)
Polvinale led the Golden Bears offensively across four games, batting .429 (6-for-14) while reaching base at a .500 clip. The junior infielder scored a team-high four runs and added two RBIs, providing a consistent spark at the top of the lineup. Polvinale’s ability to get on base and generate scoring opportunities played a key role in WVU Tech’s offensive production throughout the week, including the team’s 10-run effort in its win over Bluefield.
