From dress codes to end-of-year appraisals, professional work experience can be drastically different for minorities. “From the Block to the Boardroom,” an event sponsored by Rutgers NAACP, Phi Beta Lambda and the Rutgers Future Scholars Dream Team, featured four black professionals as panelists. The event began with introductions and an open-ended discussion with the students. Bishar Jenkins, vice president of Rutgers NAACP and a School of Arts and Sciences junior, expressed concerns echoed by others about behavior in the workplace as a minority. He emphasized the pressure on young African-Americans in the workforce, and how taking initiative can be seen as being aggressive. “You want to be involved in the community, but you don’t want to seem like the competition,” said JoJo Morinvil, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore.

Students discuss eating disorders in advance of national recognition FRANCESCA PETRUCCI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Eating disorders are a set of illnesses that affect many college campuses, including Rutgers. National Eating Disorder Awareness week exists in attempt to help with this issue in various ways.

National Eating Disorder Awareness week lands runs from Feb. 21 to 27, and is a time when many organizations aim to educate, treat and discuss eating disorders. Data showed an increase in eating disorders over a period of 13 years in one college, from 23.4 to 32.6 percent among females and an increase from 7.9 to 25 percent among males,

according to the National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA). Gretta Greissner, a recovered eating disorder patient, founded an organization called Eating Disorder Recovery Specialists. Greissner worked as a therapist in a transitional home, and said she SEE DISORDERS ON PAGE 4

Sara Rosen entered her room to find a 2.5-foot swastika taped to her ceiling on the night of Jan. 15. The Jewish School of Arts and Sciences senior felt threatened and immediately called the police, she said. When police arrived at the scene, they began questioning Rosen about her relationship with her roommates, one of whom was responsible for the swastika, she said. The roommate, a School of Engineering senior who could not be reached for comment before press time, had intended for the swastika to be a display of his Buddhist faith, said Kai Rau, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences senior. “I was fairly surprised, because why would there be a swastika on the ceiling,” she said. “Then I came to realize (my) friend is a Buddhist.” Before being appropriated by Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany, the swastika was a religious symbol sacred to the Buddhist faith, signifying abundance and eternity, Rau said. But Rosen was unconvinced. “One of the roommates decided to claim that they randomly decided to

put up a buddhist peace symbol,” she said to a Rutgers University Police Department (RUPD) officer. “Is that something you really believe based on everything that has gone on here?” RUPD officers conducted an investigation of the events by interviewing Rosen, her roommates and other witnesses, said University spokesperson Jeffrey Tolvin. Details about the case were forwarded to the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office, who determined “there was not probable cause to charge the suspect with a bias crime,” Tolvin said in an email. The Office of Student Conduct carried out a trial. During the trial, Rosen’s roommate was put in temporary housing on Busch campus. Following a judicial review, he was removed from University housing. “He does not live close to school and currently does not have any housing options, and he was denied any refund,” Rau said Rosen was put in housing for those with safety concerns after one week spent at her family home, Rosen said. “This isn’t ok, this can’t be brushed under the table,” she said. “It felt like I was not being taken seriously enough (by the Office of Student Conduct).”

Club ‘fashions’ connections for students, industry

The Rutgers Fashion Organization of Retail and Marketing lets students interested in the fashion industry connect with companies during their annual fair. Members of the group can come from any major or school. COURTESY OF PATRICIA HWANG

NOA HALFF ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Fashion lovers have a place to not only share their interests but also prepare for a future in the industry with the Fashion Organization of Retail & Marketing. The group’s mission is to unite Rutgers students with a strong interest in fashion, provide learning and networking opportunities and enable students to explore prospective careers in the business of fashion, said Patricia Hwang, co-president of the organization and a Rutgers Business School junior. The organization strives to promote a fashion-oriented community on campus through interactive activities such as networking sessions and workshops with industr y professionals, said Jasmine Cheung, co-president and a Rutgers Business School junior. The organization is open to all majors and to anyone interested in exploring more about retail or gaining professional development more geared toward the fashion industr y, Cheung said. “We want to bring students together to learn from one another so that they can ultimately find jobs, but we also want to keep the fun in fashion,” she said.

The group was founded just last year but has already accomplished several feats they take pride in, including hosting Rutgers’ first Fashion Fair, a career fair and large networking event showcasing

the number of attendees at ever y meeting and event held by the organization. The group will be as well known as the Rutgers University Programming Association and

At the beginning of the spring semester, the organization was solely marketing their events and meetings via Facebook, but Griffon is working to have emails sent out to all students with their meeting informa-

companies from the retail industry, Hwang said. “We held the event last April during our first semester as an organization with a budget of less than $400 and major companies such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Michael Kors and PVH were in attendance,” she said. “Many students interested in working in the fashion industry came out, and several of them even ended up finding summer internships.” Since the organization is fairly new, their student reach is limited, said Nicole Griffon, vice president of marketing and a Rutgers Business School sophomore. While last year’s Fashion Fair rounded up at least 200 students, this year’s had roughly half the number of attendees. Griffon is working to improve

other well-known organizations on campus, she said. “At the Fashion Fair, a lot of girls came up to me and said ‘I just heard about your club today’ — that’s an issue,” Griffon said. “I just think that we need to be more mindful of the students and think about what is going to make them want to be a part of (the group).” The nature of the fashion industry itself is extremely competitive and this can affect undergraduate students’ attitudes toward the field, Hwang said. “We’ve noticed that this affects member retention, as students often only attend the networking sessions that seem most beneficial, in place of also attending general meetings,” she said.

tion. While fewer people are using Facebook, students are constantly checking their email, she said. In their positions as co-presidents, Cheung and Hwang are

aiming to increase popularity by creating committees so that students can become more involved and feel like the club is theirs. “We have yet to reach a desired level of community among fashion lovers, but it’s something that we’re working on through planning, more relevant meetings and other programs,” Hwang said. The organization is also attempting to increase the variety in their events in order to attract more people and provide different opportunities and experiences each year, Cheung said. “We have such easy access to New York City, where fashion is raging, and I really want students interested in fashion to see how lucky we are,” Griffon said.

Qualities relevant to desired career field help boost resumes, Barrett says CONTINUED FROM FRONT

being denied jobs, said Charmaine Barrett, senior product manager at AT&T and secretary for Community NETwork, African-American Telecommunications group at the company. White men can be especially guilty of tending to go with candidates they know, or feel they are comfortable with, Barrett said. It can be difficult to navigate around the networking going on, but it is not impossible. “Nine times out of 10, when a position comes up, they have a list of names in their heads,” said Trent Barrett, global program manager at Johnson & Johnson and Charmaine Barrett’s husband. Circumstances can arise in the workplace, and it is important to know how to deal with them, said Kim Williams, program coordinator for the Rutgers Future Scholars program. Williams described a situation in which her boss, a white male, sent out a memo reorganizing the staff while she was on vacation. The reorganization included her demotion, she said. Williams was no longer reporting to the director. Instead, she was reporting to another white male with two years less experience than she had. Instead of leaving the company, Williams complained, saying she was “disparately treated,” focusing on her qualifications rather than her minority status. She not only created a new position for herself, but also built a relationship with her then-boss, who later apologized.

The anecdotes the panelists shared stressed the importance of diversity in the workplace, which proved to be a common interest among them and the students alike. “My high school was diverse. Rutgers is so diverse, so I’ve just been used to that kind of environment,” said Manasa Chinta, a Rutgers Business School senior. “My workplace, I want it to be diverse as well.” The panelists also discussed what makes a resume great. Although college students may not have much experience to fill the resume, talking about experiences require the use of qualities that relate to their prospective field can bolster a resume, Trent Barrett said. Other than past work experience, the ability to code is extremely helpful, Jackson said. Whether it’s HTML or Java, and whether students have taken a class or not, putting software on a resume is essential. Computer programming, data analytics and cyber-security are all up-and-coming fields that are in demand. Reading the job description and using the “buzzwords” the employer uses on an application can also be helpful, she said. Resumes are often scanned by software for keywords, then the selected ones are given to hiring managers to read. Despite the hardships of navigating the workforce as a minority, the panelists made it clear that networking is key to a successful career, even though other groups may have it easier. “There’s nothing that can limit you and there’s nothing that you can’t do or accomplish,” Jackson said.

they would not be fact-checked,” she said. Parker has not decided if he should trust fact-checkers as a whole, but said he will perform his own checks when obtaining information. “Where did the information come from? You kind of have to treat it like Wikipedia,” he said. The public should trust most fact-checkers, Napoli said. Prominent fact-checking institutions originated from major universities

and prestigious newspapers, a detail that has been key in establishing their credibility. Fact-checkers will change with the times, he said. “The future of fact-checking may be one in which the process is automated. There is research that is looking into whether algorithms can fact-check as well as, or better, than human beings,” he said. “There is some question as to whether fact checking enterprises are sustainable long-term given the labor costs.”

Art of selling false political revolution In a society with $19 trillion in debt, an increase in government spending should be the most REAGAN LOCKE frightening words to be uttered by a presidential candidate. Yet this is not the case in the 2016 race. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) promotes an idea of a larger government that will work for everyone. But his campaign fails to account for the finite resources available to an expanding government. Excessively taxing Wall Street and the rich is not the answer. The damage to the private sector would push major companies to outsourcing. This would mean an even more limited job field for the current generation of college students, mass loss in tax revenue and a major issue for the American economy. Sanders’s plan to resolve the national debt is to closely imitate a socialist system. In an ideal world this could possibly work, but it is only a duck-tape solution to a much larger issue. This method would subject his legions of young followers into a future of perpetually high taxes. At times I think people forget that a single person cannot change things. It takes constant collaboration with the most divided government in modern history. The quixotic candidate that Sanders is will not be able to affect change. The ideas of free college for all, single-payer healthcare and breaking up the big banks do not seem feasible with a Republicancontrolled Congress. Sanders’s progressive ideas for a “political revolution,” would be attainable if it were led by a charismatic and experienced legislator. One would assume that a man who has spent over 25 years in Congress would be a professional in the trait of greasing the political machine. But in Bernie’s case, that is not so. He has managed to pass

an astounding three bills. (For those of you who could not tell, that was sarcasm). Two of those bills were to rename two post offices in Vermont and the third to increase medical benefits for vets. Sanders’s record proves that he is incapable of pushing legislation through Congress, which is a vital part of the presidency. It speaks to his inability as a negotiator and the dangers of Sanders as a world leader in diplomacy. We can currently see the results of an idealist presidency with Barack Obama. One can agree that much has changed, but the idealistic 2008 Obama soon fell short of his promises of hope and unity. We believed in him to be the outsider and a fresh start, but yet he failed. Obama was forced to change from an idealist to a practical negotiator. Obama’s regression to a more centered position is the quintessential example of how the nation can only truly move forward with a pragmatic leader in the Oval Office. In this race, Sanders is not the idealist, but the irrational dreamer. I commend Sanders for managing to sell the impossible. Many believe him to be the progressive outsider from the establishment, but the fact of the matter is that he is just like every other politician. He tells the voters just what they want to hear. Though Sanders is using the correct words to galvanize the masses, it does not make him qualified for the White House. His inaction in Congress for over 25 years hints at his ineptitude as a legislator and his lack of skill in diplomacy. The volatile world stage we live in demands the voters to consider not only what the candidate can do for the country, but how the candidate can measure up in comparison to other world leaders. So I challenge thee, the want-to-be political pundits, those newcomers to politics who believe they understand the system and support Bernie Sanders, to oppose my stance and defend the falsity that is the “political revolution.” Reagan Locke is a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student majoring in political science.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

EDITORIAL WEEK IN REVIEW: Laurels and Darts PAT ON THE BACKBONE These people are the backbone of the University. College students are unequivocally slobs, but custodians have been cleaning up after us, and many students don’t even think twice about the help they provide. Bus drivers are also crucial employees to this giant university, driving long hours and dealing with the notorious “drunk buses.” Rutgers wouldn’t run without its essential staff, which includes custodians and bus drivers. We laurel these employees for the hard work they do for the University every single day.

TRUST THE TRUST FUND The Transportation Trust Fund (TTF) is a government organization responsible for infrastructure improvements, but now it’s running out of money and nothing is being done about it. Our existing infrastructure already isn’t at the best shape, so neglecting it further would be equivalent to essentially letting it collapse. We dart state legislatures for putting off the this exigent issue, which needs solving — fast.

WHO RUN THE WORLD? The U.S. Department of State selected Rutgers, for the third consecutive year, to participate in the Mandela Washington Fellowship that’s part of President Barack Obama’s Young African Leaders Initiative. Budding leaders from Sub-Saharan Africa will be participating in a six-week program at the University this summer. We laurel the University for fostering international relationships and committing to a global exchange of ideas.

SNOW + SCHOOL = ACCIDENTS While the weather on Monday couldn’t be likened to Winter Storm Jonas, a considerable amount of snow still fell on campus grounds, causing sleet to accumulate. Walking to class was more like sliding — or ice skating to class. Unfortunately, the snow was bad enough to create dangerous driving conditions and two students were injured as a result of a car accident on Douglass campus. We dart the University for not delaying openings or closing early in times of treacherous weather.

ADMIRABLE ACCOMMODATIONS Attending school is more difficult if you have mental or physical disabilities, so it’s only right that they receive support to make their experience at the University a little better. There are 1,750 students registered for accommodations the Office of Disability Services provides. We laurel the Office of Disability Services for providing equal access to students, so they can participate in school programs, activities and courses.

HOME SWEET HOME When a severe snow storm hit New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie didn’t seem to bat an eyelash. He was briefly here, but immediately returned to New Hampshire to nurture his presidential campaign. Now that he realized he didn’t have a chance at the presidency, he came back to his home state. When he spent a significant amount of time out of state, New Jerseyans weren’t happy and now that he’s back, we don’t want him anymore. We dart Christie for not making New Jersey a priority and instead making it a back-up in his political career.

Scott Hall protestors should be held accountable for actions COMMENTARY ANDREA VACCHIANO

C

hancellor Richard L. Edwards’s Feb. 12 email didn’t seem to make anyone happy. His accusation of “incivility” at the Milo Yiannopoulos event on Feb. 9 was ver y vague, and protesters felt, once again, victimized. It’s safe to say they were the “uncivil” ones, after smearing fake blood on themselves, flipping off people and embarrassing Rutgers on national news. And let’s not beat around the bush: The actions of the protesters were abhorrent. Protests don’t have to be, and the reasonable protesters suffered due to the theatrics of others. But what happens next? Edwards wrote that, “I believe we can embrace both inclusion and free speech … all need to feel secure in their expression.” As a member of Young Americans for Liberty, I implore Edwards to educate the protestors and hold them accountable — they’re vandals, and it’s clear that they don’t understand inclusion or free speech. Inclusion doesn’t mean that someone with a negative opinion on a movement you identify with “hates your existence.” Yes, hate speech can make inclusion difficult, but Yiannopoulos’s political

incorrectness doesn’t amount to hate: After hearing him speak, it seems the only group he “hates” are self-righteous leftists, and since no one takes the “I feel victimized for being a conser vative” argument seriously, let’s not go there. Political affiliation doesn’t count. Moreover, the protesters actually worked against inclusion. Yiannopoulos, the Greek-born British journalist of Jewish descent, was ridiculously accused of supporting the KKK. Yiannopoulos, who has been openly gay longer than any undergraduate there, was accused of being homophobic and having “bad fashion sense” by students audacious enough to speak over his experiences as a homosexual. That’s poor taste, and not inclusive. Those comments are protected by free speech, which coincidentally does not mean that Yiannopoulos has an obligation to answer your questions when you misbehave. Free speech also doesn’t mean that you have the right to vandalize Scott Hall. And to the people who laugh at that charge, do you think the janitor had the same reaction when he or she saw those stubborn red stains? But I won’t deny that the people who called me a “racist b—” had a right to call me that, even though videotaping a public protest without “consent forms” didn’t make me racist. At least I was a “b—” that knew my rights, since “consent forms” have about as much legal importance on

public property as, well, toilet paper. And if anything, the protesters, not Yiannopoulos, attacked me for being a woman. It’s clear that there’s an incredible burden on the protesters: They must find an actual example of Yiannopoulos inciting hate. No, chanting “Trump!” doesn’t count. They really should’ve done this before, and whatever they find must be so mind-numbingly offensive that the red paint will make sense. Jonathan Finnerty wrote in a column for The Daily Targum last week that the protesters embodied the New Left of the 1960s. I disagree insofar as the New Left was intellectual. The claim that Yiannopoulos was hateful, rather than just conser vative, is unfounded. Oh, and what did the college students of the New Left support? Was it free speech? Edwards’s ver y vague prose is admirable, but not nearly enough. Take action. Have a conversation with people who were wronged — the janitors, the police officers, the students who genuinely wanted to see Yiannopoulos without disruptions, the hopefuls who waited in the snow only to be turned away. And please, get someone to apologize to Milo Yiannopoulos. Take a look at the protesters, too. Show them what free speech is. Show them that libertarian organizations don’t hate their identities for being libertarian. Inspire them to be critical thinkers. Maybe they should watch a few

of Yiannopoulos’s videos before embarrassing themselves, and perhaps ponder, “Is Milo really hateful? Or do I just think he’s icky? If he is hateful, should I leave the fake blood at home and just challenge him civilly? Would that make my cause look better?” It’ll be good for them when they enter the real world, and Finnerty was right when he said that hate speech isn’t tolerated there. I won’t deny that, but donning yourself with red paint and howling like a banshee at the suggestion that “feminism drives people apart” won’t get you too far, either. In the meantime, if you’re in doubt, YAL does think you should watch the YouTube video of a protester punching a guy for videotaping the indoor protest. Oh, and Chancellor Edwards: Keep an eye on the cultural centers whose funding went up 50 percent. They sent out a mass email encouraging protests, as published in Boyer’s, “The College Fix” article. Amusingly, the email stated that “shock-value rhetoric” doesn’t reflect society’s values, and was sent to students who amazingly trolled the event better than Yiannopoulos ever could. And we think we’re worthy of a presidential commencement? Come on. Andrea Vacchiano is a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student majoring in history and political science.

DANCE

Dance like no one is watching, even if people are watching. This is something yours truly does for her own roommates. In particular, my song of choice is “Working for the Weekend” by Loverboy. Listen to it and burn some calories. Even if you don’t feel like dancing, this song will get you up and moving.

MEDITATION

This is something many people overlook, but the key to a healthy body is a healthy mind. Take some time out of your day to get fit emotionally, and soon you will be able to conquer the cold and the world.

ONLINE WORKOUT VIDEOS

This way, you literally have no

excuse to not workout. Just do it in your room!

MAKE DINNER INSIDE

Cooking inside is healthier than any dining hall food, so get active by cooking with friends and be healthy with your choices!

GET ACTIVE

Play some sort of game with your roommates or friends to get the heart pumping.

LAUGH

Laughing burns calories, so remember this as you laugh at those poor souls walking to classes on your day off.

YOGA

I know I already said meditation, but this is an extension of that. While taking those deep breaths, work those muscles for a relaxing calorie burn.

CUT OUT THE SUGAR

I know I talked about how you are what you eat, but consider what you drink. To put it simply, just drink water.

GO OUTSIDE

I know this is a list all about what you can do to stay healthy indoors, but walking to your local recreational center isn’t that tough. Get off your lazy college butt and work up a sweat at an indoor gym. You will be proud of yourself once you are finished with your workout.

FINAL Rutgers was outscored 29-17 to close out game after leading for most of contest CONTINUED FROM BACK

intentionally, but we obviously don’t have the ice in our veins to execute the way that we need to.” It all started out well. Michigan State didn’t score its first points until Aerial Powers sank two free throws at 2:05 left in the first quarter. Rutgers jumped out to a 9-2 run before tightening the clamps on the Spartans’ offense, limiting them to 1-of-20 shooting to finish the first frame with a 17-4 lead. Michigan State woke up in the second quarter, but the Knights maintained a seven-point lead at 33-26 heading into the locker room for halftime. Rutgers engineered an 11-3 run to start the third and from there, the Knights lead yoyo-ed back and forth from 14 points to 12 and back again, closing the third up by 9. With 7:44 left to play a bucket from freshman KK Sanders equaled Rutgers’ largest lead of the evening at 55-41 and three minutes and 10 seconds later, the Knights maintained an 11-point advantage, up 62-51. The wheels began to wiggle loose as MSU’s top-scorer took over the game. Powers finished with 27 points and 14 rebounds to lead all players in both categories for the night. But that doesn’t tell the whole stor y.

Senior center Rachel Hollivay was kryptonite for Sparty’s star forward and the rest of the offense through the first 35 minutes. But down the stretch, Powers recharged. The 6-footer scored 5 points in 31 seconds to propel the Spartans to victory, leaving the ladies in Scarlet and Black languishing in defeat. What’s scary is Rutgers’ defensive stopper did her job and then some. Hollivay and company limited Powers to 5-of-17 from the field, but she capitalized at the free throw line, going 14-of-15 for the evening, including a pair of free throws to give MSU the lead, 6765, with 27 seconds left on the game clock. Junior guard Tyler Scaife scored a game-high 22 points for the Knights, but in the end, she tasted nothing but bitterness for her efforts. Scaife believed Rutgers had its house in order, until the foundation began crumbling down. “I felt like we had the game in control, we just had a couple — we didn’t communicate with some things on the defensive end, and that’s really what it was,” Scaife said. “But for the whole game, we felt like we had everything under control, until the end.” Hollivay finished with 8 points, 10 rebounds and eight blocks, setting the new single

TROUBLE Copper, Hollivay both fouled out in last quarter, allowing Spartans to storm back CONTINUED FROM BACK

Like they did in the opening quarter, the Knights were able to score early and often to begin the second half. In fact, Rutgers led for 36 minutes of the game and were ahead 50-41 entering the fourth quarter, but then felt some pressure as Michigan State launched a final comeback attempt. Copper and senior center Rachel Hollivay fouled out late in the fourth quarter, and that opened up the

gates for a Spartan comeback which they would not look back from. Trailing 65-60 with 1:53 to play, they went on a 10-2 run to end the game. Copper had 11 points and six rebounds before exiting, and is always a steady veteran presence on the floor. It was a tough ending for the Knights, and when things got tenuous, they struggled to maintain their cool. “We didn’t demonstrate composure, and they did,” said head

season record for blocks in the Big Ten Conference. But the 6-foot-4 center was missing from the floor in the final minute after both she and senior wing Kahleah Copper, the team’s leading rebounder, fouled out of the game. “It also didn’t help the fact that Rachel is a force and she’s gonna rebound,” Stringer said. “She’s not in there so we had to put the freshmen in, but they weren’t getting it done. … And then you got Copper (fouling out too), who’s a much more experienced player.” Stringer seemed less than surprised by the result given the team’s propensity not to perform for the entire 40 minutes at times in 2015-2016. “It’s been our story the whole year. We’ve been freezing when it

comes down to the fourth quarter,” she said. “We just (freeze). And I’m not happy about this, but that’s exactly what’s happening.” Hollivay expressed that the team was hurt, but insisted that the Knights are not done. “We just gotta come together and regroup as a team and just do what Coach (Stringer) asks us to do. We gotta lock down the defense next game. We know next game is a big game. At the end of the season, (there’s) bound (to be) some upsets, so, I just feel like, if we come back to practice focused, we’ll be confident in the next game.”

RU’s first ever Big Ten win came against Penn State last season in Piscataway CONTINUED FROM BACK

not having them,” Scaife said. “Rachel blocks, rebounds, scores. Kah runs the floor. It was a big loss not having them out there, but that’s part of the game and we have to be able to capitalize without them.” The Spartans entered the game averaging 75.3 points per game, but sputtered to get things going right from the outset of play. A lot of that had to do with the presence of senior center Rachel Hollivay. She has already set the school record for career blocks this season with 310, but added to that total and set another record Thursday night. Hollivay recorded a season-high eight blocks, while also setting the Big Ten record for most blocks in a season with 98. She also added 8 points and ten rebounds, as she continues to provide the Knights with a stabilizing force in the paint. After a tough team loss, she was able to reflect a bit on the accomplishment, but lamented that she could not remain in the game the whole way through. “I wasn’t aware of that, but it means a lot,” Hollivay said. “That’s my bread and butter. I really like blocking shots, but I just couldn’t stop fouling tonight.” With some conference games left on the docket, there is still some time for the Knights to move up the conference standings. Hollivay believes they can still reach their goals if they move past this loss quickly. “We’ve got to just put this one behind us,” she said.

Hawkeyes. “I don’t wanna diminish anything Nebraska did — they played great in the second half — but that was not who we were and that’s not Penn State basketball.” Chambers referred to the Nittany Lions’ 70-54 drubbing to the Cornhuskers last Saturday in Lincoln, temporarily halting the momentum from the upset win over the Hoosiers before Penn State rebounded in stunning fashion this week. Brandon Taylor, who leads PSU with a team-high 16.5 points per game, averaged 21 points an 7.5 rebounds in the two upset wins for the Nittany Lions against Indiana and Iowa. “It’s very true you practice the way you play,” Chambers said. “Those guys get after it on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and our practice translated to the game ... Brandon Taylor’s leadership the last three days was just incredible. He would not be denied in his last three days and (Wednesday night).” The Knights, on the other hand, return to Piscataway after dropping to 0-9 in away games as their on-the-road woes continue. Rutgers, which hasn’t had a taste of a Big Ten win in quite some time, chalked up the first Big Ten win in program histor y at the RAC with last year’s 50-46 edging of Penn State on Jan. 3. But much has changed since the historic win. The Knights two leading scorers that night, Kadeem Jack and Myles Mack, both graduated. Luckily for Rutgers, its third leading scorer was senior guard Bishop Daniels, who had a solid game last time out against Illinois. Daniels scored 15 points to go along with a game-high seven assists and four rebounds as he took over the role of the suspended Sanders. As much Jordan claws for positives to pull from his beaten, bruised and undermanned squad’s long season, the Knights remain in a predicament as the Nittany Lions pounce into Piscataway. But even with Rutgers’ subpar 6-9 mark to show for its performances on its own hardwood floors, the Knights still feel they hold the upper hand when it boils down to taking the court at the RAC. And as Penn State enters with a 3-8 mark away from Happy Valley, Rutgers hopes the familiarity of playing at home helps when it returns to defend it on Saturday afternoon. “Homecourt advantage worked a lot,” said sophomore guard Mike Williams, the Knights’ second leading scorer in Big Ten play, after the Ohio State loss. “The gym finally got loud, our guests got into the other team’s head and we know this court better than anyone else. So that was a major advantage — just wish we got the ‘W.’”

coach C. Vivian Stringer. “We didn’t focus and we had some miscommunication … In the fourth quarter we couldn’t seem to find them, and it was ridiculous.” Aerial Powers finished with 27 points and 14 rebounds, giving the Knights trouble, especially when Hollivay was forced out. It was her fifth game of at least 25 points in her last six outings, and she gave Rutgers all it could handle down the stretch. “Aerial Powers settled down and decided to take over like she always does,” Stringer said. “She’s a great players, and the great ones do takeover.” A common occurrence in nearly every game for Rutgers is an offensive spark from Scaife. The Little Rock, Arkansas native entered the contest against Michigan State averaging 17.3 points per game, which makes her the team’s leading scorer. She also raises her game against conference foes, as she began Thursday averaging 18.4 points per game in Big Ten play. She added to that total in Thursday’s victory, scoring 22 points on 9-for-18 shooting from the field. When Copper and Hollivay fouled out in the fourth quarter, it made things a bit more difficult for Scaife and her teammates, and the Spartans were able to take advantage. They outscored Rutgers 29-17 in the fourth quarter, and were able to hone in on Scaife defensively without her two star teammates. She played all 40 minutes of the game, and did all she could to keep the Knights in it at the end. “I wouldn’t say it gave me any more pressure (when Copper and Hollivay fouled out,) but it’s tough

Rutgers faces No. 7 Lehigh in National Dual Series at RAC ERIC MULLIN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

When head coach Scott Goodale originally constructed the Rutgers wrestling team’s 2015-16 dual schedule, it was designed to conclude this Friday against Drexel (9-7) at the College Avenue Gym. But on Feb. 5, the National Wrestling Coaches Association announced the Scarlet Knights would be one of eight host sites for the 2016 NWCA Division I National Dual Series. The Dual Series is set-up with the top-eight teams in the Big Ten hosting a top-25 team from outside the conference. For the past couple of weeks, the Knights had no idea which ranked opponent they would be ending their season against, but they did have an idea of who they would like to see come to the Rutgers Athletic Center this Saturday. “Lehigh would be really, really cool to end the season with that,” said senior 165-pounder Anthony Perrotti prior to his team’s opponent was announced. “Two really high ranked teams, hour and a half away from each other. So, I mean, that would be really cool, but end of the year, we gotta get these last two wins and then it turns into individual, and the rest is history. But definitely finishing with two wins next weekend would be pretty cool.” Rutgers’ hopes have turned into reality.

On Monday, the NWCA announced that the No. 13 Scarlet Knights (15-5, 5-4) would host No. 7 Lehigh (13-2), setting up a battle of old Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Conference foes. The two programs have met 44 times previously, with their last meeting being in the 2012-13 season. In that matchup, senior Billy Smith, who was a redshirt freshman at the time, won the final match at heavyweight in a decision to give Rutgers the 1716 upset win over the then-No. 14 Mountain Hawks. Now the top-25 programs will rekindle their rivalry in front of what is expected to be a large crowd — with considerable representations from both teams — at the RAC. “We get really excited to wrestle the best competition,” said sophomore 141-pounder Anthony Ashnault. “Getting a chance one more time at home against a quality opponent to wrestle in front of our home crowd, we love that kind of stuff. Especially because we’re hoping to get a really big crowd cause it’s gonna be a good team … we really wanna show out for our home crowd.” The last time the Knights competed in front of their home crowd, they suffered two late losses over a three-day span. On Feb. 5, they dropped the dual-deciding bout in an 18-15 loss to Wisconsin and two days later had a late six-point lead evaporated by then-No. 8 Michigan, who collected 17 consecutive

points in the final three matches to win 27-16. As it has done a few times this season, Rutgers came back strong during its road trip to Indiana last weekend. The Knights took down Indiana and then-No. 23 Purdue by a combined score of 54-24, while scoring bonus points in half of their total individual wins from the two duals. “I think it definitely comes from coaching and just how tight our group is together,” Ashnault said on Rutgers’ ability to bounce back from losses. “We’re all really close friends and we get along real well so we’re able to put it behind us and everyone picks each other up … Wrestling’s taught a lot of us you gotta move on ... Just keep putting your full effort out there and good things will come.” The Indiana road trip signaled the end of Big Ten dual competition for the Knights, who improved by three wins in its second year in the deepest wrestling conference in the country. The win over Purdue also improved on an already record mark in coach Goodale’s nine-year tenure by beating the sixth ranked opponent of the season. Rutgers will have the opportunity to add to that number one last time in its matchup with Lehigh, but it won’t come easy. The Mountain Hawks boast five ranked grapplers in their lineup, highlighted by No. 9 157-pounder Mitch Mionotti and No. 3 184-pounder Nathaniel Brown. The Knights will counter with junior No.

12 Richie Lewis and sophomore No. 20 Nicholas Gravina respectively, who will each put streaks of at least six straight dual wins on the line. Regardless of the outcome, a matchup with a top-10 team to close out the season will be a legitimate final tune-up for Rutgers, who heads to the Big Ten Champions on March 5 followed by the NCAA Championships two weeks later. “We’re hoping it’s someone that brings a fan base so we

could wrestle again in front of a large crowd, in a really big environment,” Goodale said. “All that does is prepare you for March. It’s gonna be somebody really, really good. All that will do is prepare us for the Big Tens and the national tournament, that’s what we’re looking for.” For updates on the Rutgers wrestling team, follow @EricMullin_ and @TargumSports on Twitter.

MEN’S LACROSSE RUTGERS-ARMY, TOMORROW, 2:30 P.M.

High-powered RU offense meets stingy Army defense ERIC MULLIN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Last season, the Rutgers men’s lacrosse team fell victim to a number of defeats in tight games, with six of its 10 losses coming by two goals or less. In their 2016 season opener, the Scarlet Knights made sure the game was decided well before the final moments. The Knights (1-0) exploded for 19 goals — 12 of which coming in the first half — as they cruised to an 8-point victory over St. John’s (0-1).

Rutgers trailed 3-0 just under four minutes into the game, but fired back with eight consecutive goals in a seven-minute span. The Knights led for the final 55 minutes and 49 seconds of the game and held a lead of at least five over the Red Storm for the last 46 minutes and 21 seconds. As the Knights shift their focus to the second game of the season — a Saturday matinee matchup with Army (1-0) in West Point, New York — the area of their game they are looking to improve on from their debut is a bit surprising.

Even after finding the back of the cage 19 times off of 47 total shots, Rutgers believes it can improve in the attacking half even more moving forward by being in full attack mode for the entirety of a game. “I think we can improve maybe just on our offense,” said senior attacker Scott Bieda. “I think we slowed down in that third quarter, they held us a little bit. So obviously, you know, coming into the second half, we gotta keep going. We can’t stop when we’re up 19, 17-10 or what not. We gotta keep going, put the pedal to the medal, don’t slow down on offense and keep it rolling.” If the Knights believe they left goals on the field at High Point Solutions Stadium last Friday, they could boast an even more lethal offense than last year, when their 10.33 goals per game mark was good for second in the Big Ten. Eight different Knights contributed to the 19-goal effort in the season debut, but two players in particular led the charge. Bieda, the team’s captain, had his fingerprints on almost half of his team’s goals. Coming off a season in which he led the team with a 3.86 points per game average, the Bridgewater, New Jersey, native notched a career-high 9 points, tallying five goals and setting up four others. Even more impressive, Bieda scored 6 of his 9 points in the first quarter. His stellar performance landed him Offensive Player of the

Week honors from the Big Ten and the NCAA. The other attacker to have their performance recognized by the Big Ten was Adam Charalambides, who won Freshman of the Week in the conference. In his first game in a Rutgers uniform, the redshirt freshman stepped right into the starting lineup and scored six goals, along with dishing out an assist. For a team that already returned its top-six scorers from the prior season, adding Charalambides into the mix gives an already formidable offense yet another dangerous weapon. “I mean, as long as we trust each other and throw more passes and rely on each other, I think we can go a long way,” Charalambides said. “... Definitely playing a full 60 minutes is what we wanna do here for Rutgers lacrosse.” After losing to the Knights in overtime two seasons ago, Army came back with a vengeance in last season’s matchup. The then-No. 9 Black Knights jumped out to a 6-1 lead over the Scarlet Knights more than halfway through the second quarter on a snowy day at High Point Solutions Stadium. Rutgers locked down defensively for the remainder of the game and cut its deficit to two twice in the fourth quarter, but failed to muster up enough offense against a strong Army defense. Although the Inside Lacrosse’s poll does not currently list Army among the top-20 teams, the

Black Knights are a more than capable opponent. In its season opener, Army took down Massachusetts 9-5, flashing early signs of the return of its seventh-ranked scoring defense from last year. The Minutemen only racked up 17 shots, with just nine coming on goal. The defensive style of game that the Black Knights play could turn this into Rutgers’ first close battle of the season. Although last year’s team struggled in tight games against their top opponent, it is unknown how this Knights team will perform in those games. What Rutgers has been able to show through one game is its ability to play with and hold a lead for an entire game, which was an impressive feat for a generally young Knights’ team. “Handling a lead is just as important as being able to fight and claw yourself back after going down … just as important to be able to play in a one-goal game for 60 minutes and keep the edge,” said head coach Brian Brecht. “It’s hard coming back from maybe giving up a lead and it’s hard to be in a onegoal game where every play, every groundball, every save and every turnover is magnified when it’s so close. So ... now they know how it is to come out of the locker room at halftime with a lead.” For updates on the Rutgers men’s lacrosse team, follow @EricMullin_ and @TargumSports on Twitter.

trouble RU collapses in final quarter Foul dooms Rutgers in loss to MSU

It appeared to be a signature performance, employing all the staples of the Rutgers women’s basketball program and all that represents under the tutelage of head coach C. Vivian Stringer. All signs pointed to the Scarlet Knights (16-11, 7-8) securing their first victory over a ranked opponent all season, with a chance to improve their NCAA Tournament stock on “Blackout Night.” Until No. 25 Michigan State (19-7, 10-4) tore down those signs and ripped the life from the crowd at Rutgers Athletic Center, leaving the Knights stunned after the 70-67 defeat. “Best laid plans often go undone. And that’s exactly what happened,” Stringer said postgame. “I mean, for them to score 29 points in the fourth quarter, are you kidding? In the fourth quarter?” No, they weren’t kidding and yes, in the fourth quarter. Rutgers entered the final frame with a 5041 lead thanks to a fast start and stingy defense throughout the first three periods. And then the Scarlet wall the Knights forged around the rim collapsed like a house of popsicle sticks. Rutgers was outscored 29-17 in the final quarter after controlling the action for 30 minutes. As the fans hits the turnstyles with a vacant look in their eyes, Stringer reminded reporters why the game has four quarters. “That’s what I’m talking about,” she said. “We’ve been folding in the fourth quarter, not

CORRESPONDENT

The Rutgers women’s basketball team got their second crack this season at No. 25 Michigan State on Thursday night, this time hosting the Spartans at the Rutgers Athletic Center. Riding a three-game winning streak heading into the matchup, the Scarlet Knights got off to a blazing start, but were unable to maintain their leads and fell in a crushing loss, 70-67. The Knights (16-11 7-8) led 17-4 after the first quarter, getting off to hot starts on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor. They shot 8-for-14 from the field in the opening period, while holding the Spartans (19-7, 10-5) to an anemic 1-for-20 in the first 10 minutes of play. The team’s leading scorers on the season were key to giving Rutgers an early spark. Junior guard Tyler Scaife scored 6 points in the first quarter, while senior wing Kahleah Copper added 5. But after the quick start for Rutgers, the Spartans came all the way back to take the lead at 26-25 with three minutes remaining in the second quarter. The Knights then responded with runs of their own and led 33-26 going into halftime. Head coach C. Vivian Stringer was incredulous after her team surrendered 29 points in the fourth quarter against the Spartans. DIMITRI RODRIGUEZ / PHOTO EDITOR / JANUARY 2016

This point of the season was supposed to be the easy part for the Rutgers men’s basketball team, but it all just cranked up a few notches in difficulty. Riding a losing streak of 13 games for the season and 28 Big Ten contests dating back to last year, the hits keep coming as the Scarlet Knights (6-20, 0-13) host a resurgent Penn State at 1 p.m. on Saturday at the Rutgers Athletic Center. Just a couple of weeks ago, the matchup with the Nittany Lions appeared favorable for the Knights. Despite the losses piling up, Rutgers had a bright spot with Corey Sanders emerging as a budding star. The rookie guard upped his game averages to 16.2 points, 4.1 assists and 1.7 steals — all of which lead freshmen in the conference — on his way to his second Big Ten Freshman of the Week award. But with Sanders receiving a two-week suspension from head coach Eddie Jordan on Monday, the Knights remain without the

Back down to seven scholarship players, Rutgers struggled mightily on the road in a double-digit defeat on the road at Illinois — the same team it nearly put away at the RAC before a triple-overtime loss. “When we come in and we don’t get the ‘W’ and we don’t give the effort and we don’t see progress, then that’s a problem,” Jordan said last Saturday, before commending his team’s effort in the 79-69 home loss to Ohio State.
