2 Rutgers ROTC students chosen to train as Air Force pilots ELIZABETH KILPATRICK STAFF WRITER
Senior Air Force Reser ve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) cadets, Michael Quigley, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, and Alexander Hsia, a Princeton University student, have been selected to become pilots after graduation, when they will go to an Air Force base and receive their in-depth flight physicals. Capt. Kayla Stevens, assistant professor in the Department of Aerospace Studies, said that after commission there is a tw- year pilot training process. Hsia and Quigley will then receive their planes, base assignment and undergo survival training. The two cadets were selected based on their outstanding skills, Hsia said. GPA, physical fitness score, flight aptitude, commander’s ranks and their summer training camp are taken into account when being considered for the position. These results are then sent to the Air Force headquarters, Hsia said. “The Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) is a test that all cadets have to take and pass once a semester,” Hsia said. He said that the test measures the maximum number of push-ups a cadet can perform in one minute, the maximum number of sit-ups in one minute and a timed 1.5-mile run. Hsia also offered commentary about the pilot application and the summer training camp. “The Pilot Candidate Selection Method (PCSM) score is comprised of a number of real-world flight hours, a written aviation knowledge test and the Test of
Basic Aviation Skills (TBAS),” he said. The TBAS is a series of tests that are designed to measure one’s spacial and motor coordination as well as multitasking ability. The summer training camp, also called Field Training, is a multiweek session held at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama. “Upon completion of their freshmen and sophomore years, competitive cadets can be chosen to attend this camp as the next step in their AFROTC career,” Hsia said. To continue in the AFROTC program, one must be accepted into the camp and pass its requirements. Hsia said that Field Training Officers (FTOs) and seniors selected as Cadet Training Assistants (CTAs) evaluate cadets based on military leadership through numerous challenges and tasks. “It’s all aspects that you can control. You have to be an all-around cadet,” Quigley said. Hsia said that his favorite aspect about being part of AFROTC is the dual life of being a student and a cadet, as well as knowing he is going to eventually serve in the military. Quigley said he appreciates the opportunities that he may not get as a regular student. “The leadership training is unmatched unless you’re at an academy. You stand out to professionals,” he said. As much as there are benefits of AFROTC, there are some challenges that need to be faced to succeed. Hsia said it can be difficult because the program revolves around Rutgers’ schedule and as a Princeton student, there are times that classes and spring breaks
conflict, but it is a matter of priority to him. Although cadet responsibilities include physical training twice a week, 3-hour leadership training blocks every Friday, sacrificing some social events and getting up early, Quigley said he has adapted to it. “One day we’re going to graduate and getting up early is going to be part of the lifestyle,” he said. Both Hsia and Quigley agree that they are held to a higher standard than other college students would be because they are in ROTC. If an AFROTC cadet decides to cheat on a test and subsequently gets caught, there are two lines of authority that they have to answer to, the first being Rutgers and the Air Force second, Quigley said. Sometimes Rutgers can forgive easily, but the Air Force may not. “It’s a little bit of give and take,” Hsia said. While being in AFROTC can limit options that everyday students may have, the end goal is essential, he said. While many people at Rutgers may know what ROTC is, they may not know how much hard work and dedication goes into it. Hsia said that cadets have to earn their place every step of the way and work hard. “In ROTC, you are a cadet at all times. Being a cadet becomes a part of your everyday life,” Quigley said. He said that his and Hsia’s AFROTC class started out with approximately 40 people and that now it is down to approximately eight. “Some people come in and out of the program, and that’s okay. People have to learn if it’s for them,” Quigley said.
After graduation, Michael Quigley and Alexander Hsia will be assigned to an Air Force training camp where they will undergo two years of pilot training. ACCLAIM IMAGES

Crash course in undocumented student education comes to U. ABNER BONILLA STAFF WRITER
Another part of the workshop elaborated on New Jersey’s recent legislative efforts to give certain undocumented students eligibility to apply for in-state financial aid. The Daily Targum reported that bill A3467/S699 cleared the New Jersey General Assembly and New Jersey Senate, and now awaits final approval from Gov. Phil Murphy (D-N.J.). There are more than 500 DACA recipients currently studying at Rutgers across all of its campuses, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. “I think trainings like these are important to start conversations about how to begin supporting undocumented students in institutions, especially for people who are going into higher education,” said Yuriana Garcia Tellez, the senior program coordinator of undocumented student ser vices who was also in attendance. “The training should be mandator y.” Garcia Tellez said a short documentar y-style video that was shown as part of the training also allowed participants to see who a DACA recipient is. The video followed undocumented students at NYU who immigrated from Asia and South America and struggle to find the money to pay for college.
DREAM Zone is an interactive training program that teaches students, faculty and staff at New York University (NYU) how to support the undocumented community. On Wednesday, the program came to the College Avenue campus for the first time. Ariana Mangual Figueroa, an associate professor in the Graduate School of Education, and Viviana Siles-Osejo, a second-year student in the Graduate School of Education, arranged to bring the training to the University. It touched on topics such as legislation that impacts students affected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) administrative program, the history of migration to the U.S. from different parts of the world and how to “check” how people talk about the undocumented community through social media. The program spanned from noon until 3 p.m. One workshop in the agenda lined all participants in the room into two rows, allotting everyone a partner to At the end of Wednesday night’s event, students were handed flyers that asked them to commit start a dialogue. to the information they learned to help inform the community about undocumented students and “What does the American the issues they face.

Mangual Figueroa said she helped Siles-Osejo organize the event because she felt a responsibility as a professor to be part of the growth and action to help undocumented students at Rutgers. As Siles-Osejo prepares for graduation, she hopes that someone will pick up where she left off and continue to build the relationship with NYU and DREAM Zone. “Even though we’re distinct and different institutions, it’s important to maintain those relationships and learn from other institutions on how they’re raising awareness about different student populations on campus,” Siles-Osejo said. In the finale of the training, every participant was handed a certification card that confirmed they learned about the issues undocumented students face in higher education. It was also a call-to-action to continue learning how to be an advocate for that community. “I hope, in some way, this has allowed me to leave my mark at Rutgers,” she said. “Either way, I In one of the auxiliary rooms adjacent to the College Avenue Student Center, students watched an informational video that hope it continues.” followed two undocumented students at New York University.

CARE Approximately 3,700 sudden infant deaths occurred among 1 year olds during 2015 CONTINUED FROM FRONT “When you are in the hospital for 48 hours after you’ve given birth, a lot of information comes your way, all about taking care of the umbilical cord, and taking care of yourself and establishing breastfeeding and on and on,” she said. “And so safe infant sleep is one of many important pieces of information.” In 2015, there were 5.9 infant deaths per 1,000 births nationally, according to the New Jersey State Health Assessment Data. In New Jersey specifically, there were 4.8 deaths per 1,000 births. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported approximately 3,700 sudden, unexpected deaths among infants under 1 years old in America in 2015. Ostfeld said that the app will ser ve as a standardized tool for parents, caregivers and providers to access the American Academy of Pediatrics’ safe sleep guidelines — an effort to spread awareness and increase infant safety. Each piece of information in the app is animated in some form to make it as appealing as possible, she said. It exists in three modalities: text, visuals and audio. After opening the app, users can tap on the baby icon, which leads to different topics such as “Place me to sleep on my back.” From there they can listen to a maternal voice read the text, scroll through informative screens, read text and view images on different subjects. There is also a “baby talk” component that provides additional information in a baby-sounding voice. Under the resources tab, there are links to the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Safe Sleep Policy, the
Consumer Product Safety Commission and more. “Because it’s oral as well as written, visual, we overcome any concerns about literacy because people can hear the story, not just have to read the story,” Ostfeld said. Socioeconomic conditions can impact infant mortality rates, something SCNJ considered in making the app, she said. By making it free, easy to access on today’s common technology and appealing to look at and use, the app avoids being skewed to favor certain populations. The infant mortality rate, in the state, among Black babies is three times that of white babies, according to The Daily Targum. Factors that contribute to this disparity include poverty and racism. Ostfeld said there are many socioeconomic components that may contribute to a family not complying to the sleep guidelines, but that the app will give them a chance to refresh their knowledge and can spur future discussions and problem solving. “We’re hoping that it will be something people access and then return to a few times for reminder tips,” she said. “Because compliance matters, and over time sometimes compliance drops off, and this gives people a chance to review and reinforce the initiative that they’ve taken on.” Ostfeld said she hopes the app can serve as a standardized tool that everyone from care providers at hospitals to family members can reference. Providers can add to the script they give to educate families with a newborn, and families can have all of that information centralized in a form that is less likely to be lost or forgotten about.
“SIDS Info” is an app developed by the SIDS Center of New Jersey of the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School that feeds new parents information to prevent against sudden infant death syndrome, among additional resources. JEFFREY GOMEZ / SEPTEMBER 2017 Another advantage of the app is that the information is transferable. “Since many hands touch a baby, it’s not just mama and papa but its grandma and grandpa, caregivers and so forth, the parents can inform all who care for a baby,” she said. “They can download it as well so that they
have ver y clear information about what constitutes safe infant sleep.” This can allow any caregiver to reassess the information whenever they might need to, she said. And due to its nature, the information can be updated whenever advancements occur.
The app is available on both iPhone and Android, Ostfeld said. It can be found under the search terms “SIDS info,” “SIDS Center of New Jersey” and “SCNJ.” She said that everything SCNJ does, in terms of education, considers the goal of increasing awareness, but more importantly increasing compliance with the guidelines. The introduction and spread of the American Academy of Pediatrics sleep guidelines have been associated with a significant decrease in infant-sleep related deaths, according to News Medical. “It’s not just ‘what do you know,’ it’s ‘what do you do,’” Ostfeld said.

Here is how automatic registration might affect poll turnout HANNAH MCCLAIN STAFF WRITER
New Jersey is the 12th state to approve automatic voter registration. Matt Cordeiro, state director of New Jersey Student Power, and Ross Baker, a professor in the Department of Political Science, discussed recent legislation that automates the process and possible effects of its implementation. The bill was signed into law by Gov. Phil Murphy (D-N.J.) on Tuesday, April 17, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. “When eligible voters visit state agencies like the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC), the information they provide is safely and accurately used to add their names to the voter registration rolls (unless they opt out; no one is required to register),” according to the center. Cordeiro said that based on the successful results of automatic voter registration in Oregon, he has high hopes for its implementation here in New Jersey. “Right in the beginning, there was a big influx of new voters, younger voters and more people of color. So I think, quickly, we’re going to see a pretty large swell in the polls,” he said. Cordeiro said that slightly more than half of Rutgers students currently vote, based on a report from
Matt Cordeiro, state director of New Jersey Student Power, said that he is hopeful the autonomous process will show the same results in New Jersey that it has in other states. He cited the initial wave of young voters that came out to the polls in those states. LINKEDIN National Study of Learning, Voting and Engagement. Students across America are known to be a low-turnout group, Baker said. He offered his view on why this is the case. “There are complications for students, particularly students who are living at school. ‘Do I go home to
vote? Do I register where my college or university is located?’ It’s a very tough group to get out to the polls,” he said. Cordeiro said that the somewhat in-depth process of getting registered and voting does not fit the daily lives of most students and young people.
Another reason is that many young people often feel alienated by the political system because politicians do not normally take up issues that young people care about, he said. Baker agreed, and said that students are left out, but explained that this is because politicians are much
more responsive to people who are known to vote. “Politicians would be much more responsive to the needs of students, in terms of policies that are friendly and supportive of students, if they had some sense that there would be consequences if they didn’t do things that the students wanted,” he said. While Baker said he does not think automatic voter registration is the solution to this issue, he does think that it is a step in the right direction. “It’s not going to solve all the problems, it’s not going to make students into a high-turnout group, but it would remove one hurdle that people have to get over in order to cast that ballot,” he said. Cordeiro proposed a different take on the possible results of the legislation, and said he believes the immediate effects of its implementation will be substantial. He said that a big impact might be seen right away, followed by it tapering off as automatic voting becomes normalized. He said he thinks that the legislation will benefit Rutgers students, among other groups. “I think there’s going to be a pretty big boom for Rutgers students. This is important for them to know about so the next time they go use one of these state services where automatic voter registration will be offered, they’ll know to sign up and use the new service,” he said.

Experience is worth more than grades
A
s yet another year comes to a close and with the sumKHAULA SAAD mer being right around the corner, students at Rutgers are probably now, more than ever, thinking about their futures and what they want to do with the rest of their lives. For many, the beginning of the rest of their lives may start this summer. Some may have prestigious internships with their dream firms lined up, some may have summer jobs in their hometowns waiting for them and others may still be figuring out what field they want to enter. And while each person has a unique path depending upon the future career they envision for themselves, there is a common theme in those that are trying to be as successful as they can: Experience is necessary. While education is clearly the most important aspect of attending a university, the mistake that many people make in their four or more years at college is that they consider it to be the only aspect of their time there. And though grades are important and should not be considered as completely irrelevant, the entire weight of your college career should not rest on your GPA. When you want to move forward with your life and your career and find yourself competing for a position with other candidates, it is very likely that you find your grades are on-par with your competitors. So how do you differentiate yourself between your 4.0 and the other five 4.0’s sitting in the office waiting for an interview? The answer is in your experience. When recruiters look at your résumé, they want to see someone who has not spent four years with their nose buried in books. They want to see someone who has had the discipline to get work done well in

But the securing of a job should not be your only motivation to try and become as well-rounded in your college years as possible. College is a time where society gives you the opportunity to spend four years of your early adulthood trying to figure out who you are as freely as you want to be. If you decide that your major is not something you truly want to pursue, you have the ability to change it. You have the chance to try out being part of different organizations and seeing if you fit in well. College is the time where you might discover that something you thought you would always love might not be part of the right path for you. But this is not something you will discover if you spend the entirety of your time here worrying about one not-so-good grade or eliminating all the distractions in your life for the sake of a stellar GPA. Your GPA is something that, although will help you move on to other schools and be considered for certain programs, will be forgotten in later years of your life.

NASA launched its Transiting Exoplanet Sur vey Satellite (TESS) last Wednesday as part of a mission aimed at discovering thousands of exoplanets orbiting bright stars. Many would likely say that funding research about distant planets and space in general may be a waste of money and time, but people should not lose sight of the values that exploring things beyond Earth can hold. Searching for and studying exoplanets can help us learn more about ourselves, and allow us to appreciate more thoroughly our own world and its seemingly unique and uncommon characteristics. We laurel the launch of the new TESS satellite, and hope that it can help humans learn a great deal more about the nature of our universe.
NET INEQUALITY
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decided back in December to rollback policies that were meant to ensure net neutrality remains strong. Soon, those policies will be no more, and a small group of powerful Internet Ser vice Providers will have free reign over limiting who sees what, how fast they see it and how much they pay to do so. This rollback of net neutrality may ver y well have a negative impact on freedom and access to personal and institutional education. We dart this rather unfair decision by the FCC for forcing us to take a step back on the road to true equality.

SEXUAL ASSAULT
In March, The Daily Targum reported on two cases of sexual misconduct involving Rutgers professors. Now, new progressions in one of the cases have emerged. Nabil Adam, vice chancellor for Research and Collaborations at Rutgers—Newark, was under investigation for allegedly sexually assaulting a graduate student that he worked with. Rutgers has recently decided to suspend judgement on the decision, stating that neither parties are trustable. Though we are unsure what the truth of the matter is, the situation is unsettling no matter which party is in the wrong. Both actually committing sexual assaults and giving false allegations are shameful. We dart the continuous reminders of the unfortunate fact that we are far from a sexual-assault-free nation.
MITIGATE MORTALITY
In 2015, there were 5.9 infant deaths per 1,000 births in the U.S., according to the New Jersey State Health Assessment Data. Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that there were approximately 3,700 unexpected infant deaths in the same year. It is important for mothers to know as much as they can about keeping their infants safe and healthy soon after birth, and with a combination of science, technology and communication, a new app developed by the SIDS Center of New Jersey from the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS) can help lower infant mortality rates. We laurel RWJMS for this new and helpful innovation.
CARE ABOUT HEALTHCARE
As a result of the newly implemented R-Health Direct Care, some of the 3,000 part-time faculty members who previously did not have access to healthcare now do. This “boutique style” primary-care network is available to all part-time employees who are also members of the faculty union — American Association of University Professors-American Federation of Teachers — and includes easy access to personal physicians, speedy appointments, comprehensive primary, preventive, urgent and chronic care and does not require co-pays. Though this new availability is undoubtedly a positive thing, we dart the fact that it did not happen sooner.

Making sure to set summer goals is important for students THE BIGGER PICTURE DILARA GUVERCIN
W
ith finals week just around the corner, many of us are already in the summer vacation mindset and have started making plans with our friends and families for exciting events. Especially for those who are graduating, summer 2018 is a time for relaxation and freedom from school-related stress. Although we should definitely dedicate time in our end-of-year plans to our friends and families and enjoying ourselves after a long semester of stress, exams and existential crises, we should also devote a significant chunk of our schedules to pursuing intellectual and personal growth. Summer vacation has a strong connotation of “anti-school” and simply being relaxing, but this can be a huge and unfortunate waste of time if relaxing is all we do. Since there are no assignment deadlines or exams during vacation, it becomes much less stressful and more enjoyable to set certain goals for ourselves and reach them at our own pace. Summer is the perfect time, for instance, to finally start reading the books that have been collecting dust on your shelves, learning a new language, taking on a project, working a job, volunteering or even preparing for courses that you are going to take in the Fall 2018 semester. It seems pretty nerdy and boring to practice
calculus problems or learn new grammar points in French during break, but every moment is precious and an investment into your future. Summer vacation is no exception. With unlimited access to the internet and loads of free time, one could definitely start a new hobby, read and even write a few articles and spare some time to give back to the community. Personal progress does not have to be limited to academic and intellectual pursuits. We all have certain things that we are aware we need to work on, whether it is relationships, proneness to stress and anx-
nity to spend time with loved ones to better ourselves emotionally and mentally. Another goal that is very hard to commit to during school is working out. I have come to realize that the “freshman 15” is no joke and that I seriously need to lay off the late-night ramen and large, sugary iced coffees. Setting a personal fitness goal is also a great way to seize the summer and shed off the layers of stress-eating that have accumulated over exam seasons. Summer is a time for drinking cold water, eating fresh fruits and vegetables and getting motivated for taking cute Instagram pictures. We do
“There are countless ways to make the most of your vacation and better the person you are so you can enter the Fall 2018 semester with a new, healthy mindset.” iety, lack of motivation, etc., and summer can be a perfect time to work on combating these issues. Some may want to devote more time to their spirituality and faith, some may want to get back in contact with old friends, some may want to determine their major and plan their career paths and some may want to take on new experiences and travel somewhere different. Whatever the case may be, it is necessary to take advantage of the great weather and opportu-
not need to treat our bodies when we are at home as poorly as we do in college when our only dietary restriction is “cheap and fast.” One of the best ways to stick to a summer plan is getting someone to do it with you, or getting inspired from someone else. My personal goals for summer 2018 so far are practicing my two target languages, finishing at least 10 books, working a summer job to save up for some of my future travel
plans and exercising daily. To get started on your plan, take out a piece of paper right now and write down at least three things you want to achieve in terms of personal growth this summer. Here are some ideas: start meditating a few times a week, make a new friend, learn a new skill, teach someone a new skill, practice a new language by watching shows and listening to music, search up and purchase at least three books you want to read, pick up a new hobby, go the entire summer without a sip of soda, start bullet-journaling or blogging, write out three aspects about yourself that you want to improve, go somewhere new (it could even be a restaurant that you have never been to), read a news article every day, contact relatives or immerse yourself in a new culture. It is not too early to make summer plans. There are countless ways to make the most of your vacation and better the person you are so you can enter the Fall 2018 semester with a new, healthy mindset. Of course you should have fun and relax, but remember that future you will thank you just as much for finishing all of those books as she or he will for going to a concert with your friends. That being said, finals have not even started, so save some excitement for later. Dilara Guvercin is a School of Arts and Sciences first-year double majoring in philosophy and psychology.

Budenholzer’s ‘harmonious’exit starts Hawks coach search ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA (AP) — Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk on Thursday described coach Mike Budenholzer’s exit as “harmonious” and “as mutual as parting can be.” Schlenk also said the decision, finalized and announced late Wednesday, came after many discussions with Budenholzer and was not based on just one factor. “It’s not one thing,” Schlenk said. “It was just the course of several conversations we just felt like this was best for him and his career and the right time for the Hawks for where we are.” Added Schlenk: “It was kind of we felt the right time for both of us to go separate directions.

The high point in Budenholzer’s five years with the Hawks came in the 2014-15 season, when the Hawks set a franchise record with 60 wins. He was named NBA coach of the year after the Hawks’ first appearance in the Eastern Conference finals. Budenholzer was given more authority with the title of president of basketball operations, but he gave up that position when Schlenk was hired as general manager in 2017. Schlenk said the two maintained a positive relationship.
STREAK Rutgers has not won since 4-2 win over Penn State on March 31 CONTINUED FROM BACK The Spartans’ staff ERA is solid at 3.33, while Rutgers’ staff ERA is below average at 5.09. Michigan State also allows opposing hitters to bat .271 off of it, while the Knights allow their opponents to bat a much higher .333 off of them. Rutgers will likely square off against the Spartans No. 1 pitcher, Kristina Zalewski, who is 1010 on the season with a 2.20 ERA and 134 strikeouts in 121 innings pitched. She also only allows opponents to bat .249 against her. The ace on the staff for the Knights is junior Whitney Jones, who has been lackluster this season, with a 8-13 record to go along with a 4.27 ERA and only 41 strikeouts. Jones also allows opposing batters to hit a ver y high .340 off of her, which has hurt her this season from the circle. Junior shortstop Jess Hughes is another spark in the Rutgers lineup, as she is batting .312 on the year with five doubles and 4 home runs. She is second on the team in hits (44) and leads the
team in stolen bases with eight bags swiped in nine attempts. Hughes has also started and played in all 44 games this season, the only Knight to do so. Although Hughes has been productive at the plate, her 18 errors at shortstop have certainly hurt Rutgers at times. But, she has also been responsible for turning 16 double plays, a stat the Knights rank very high nationally in. With a staff ERA above 5.00, Rutgers needs to produce runs in this series if it is going to win the series, or at least win one game to snap its losing streak. Michigan State is a comparable team in many aspects, so expect every game in this series to be very close and competitive. After the series with the Spartans, the Knights only have four games remaining in the regular season. They will take on Hofstra (34-8, 15-0) at home on Wednesday in one more non-conference contest, before a final three-game series against Indiana (23-25, 152) at home beginning on Friday.

SEASON Knights can put themselves into Big Ten Tournament with win CONTINUED FROM BACK After two 1-goal losses to thenNo. 6 Johns Hopkins and the thenNo. 1 Terrapins, being able to make plays down the stretch against Penn State helped the team’s confidence in close games, Christiano said. “Being able to close it out, just have that composure, was really huge and helped us win,” he said. In Ohio State, Rutgers is facing a team that went through a rough patch in the middle of the season and enters at just 7-6, but is coming off two straight conference wins and still has an outside shot at the NCAA Tournament if it can make a run in the Big Ten. In a word, the Buckeyes are desperate, and the Knights will without
of the day we need to take care of ourselves.” Rutgers controls its own destiny for both the Big Ten and NCAA Tournaments and that has no doubt been Brecht’s message to his team as they prepare for a season-defining matchup with Ohio State. Against Penn State, the Knights did not win a faceoff in the second half, but it obviously did not affect the outcome of the game. Brecht credits that to Rutgers being topnotch in all areas of the game, and added that he has tons of confidence in his two senior faceoff specialists, Joe Francisco and Alex Schoen, to get the job done. Brecht said he aims for a 50-percent mark on faceoffs and when the Knights are able to do that, they are

a doubt get their hardest punch. Redshirt freshman defender Garrett Bullett said that Rutgers is prepared for this moment and the way the team played against the Nittany Lions gave it the confidence it needs to go on the road and close out the season with a massive win. “We’re gonna be flying around, playing fast like we always do,” Bullett said. “This is a playoff game, this is a must-win for us. This is a big one, and we’re ready for it.” The Knights are as confident as they’ve been all season, and after narrowly missing out on the NCAA Tournament the last two seasons, it is clear that they are not ready to make it three in a row. When asked about the magnitude of Saturday’s game, head coach Brian Brecht threw out his favorite saying and one he has used all season: “At the end
usually successful. The rest of the team is deep enough and skilled enough to the point where they don’t need to be elite at the faceoff X every week and can still be a top-10 team. And at the end of the day, Brecht said, it will come down to his team being able to make plays in all areas of the game. “We have to execute and do what we do extremely well,” he said. “... It’s about us. It’s about how we play. Are we gonna make saves, are we gonna put the ball in the back of the cage, are we gonna outground ball them and have more opportunities in possessions? Are we gonna clear the ball first time and be able to run in transition?” For updates on the Rutgers men’s lacrosse team, follow @GriffinWhitmer and @TargumSports on Twitter.
IN BRIEF
F
ollowing the Cleveland Cavaliers’ thrilling 9895 Game 5 victory over the Indiana Pacers in which Cavaliers power forward LeBron James blocked a layup by Pacers shooting guard Victor Oladipo in the waning seconds and subsequently drained a game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer, the NBA has confirmed that James’s blocked shot was a goaltend and Oladipo’s basket should have counted, according to ESPN. In its Last Two Minute Report, the NBA noted that the referees missed the call after the ball first hit the backboard and was then blocked by James, which should have resulted in a basket and a 9795 lead for the Pacers. “I got a step on him. Felt like I even got grabbed on the way to the rim,” Oladipo said after the game. “I tried to shoot a layup, it hit the backboard, then he blocked it ... It was a goaltend. It’s hard to even speak on it. It just sucks, honestly. It really sucks. We fought our way back, we tied the game up, that layup is huge.”
Joe Borgia, the NBA’s senior vice president of replay and referee operations, told NBA TV on Wednesday night that the play was not reviewable because goaltending was not called on the court. “In super-slow motion, you just see the ball hit the glass and maybe come off an inch, and that’s when LeBron got it,” Borgia said. “Like I said, once the ball touches the (backboard), defenders cannot touch it, and unfortunately James did.” James finished the game with 44 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. When asked about the play, he smiled. “Of course I didn’t think it was a goaltend,” he said. “I try to make plays like that all the time, and I mean he made a heck of a move, got me leaning right and he went left and I just tried to use my recovery speed and get back up there and make a play on the ball. And I was able to make a play.” With the blown call, the Pacers now trail the Cavaliers 2-3 in the series with Game 6 going back to Indiana.
Head coach Brian Brecht has said that the game against Ohio State will come down to the Knights being able to make plays in all areas of the game. DECLAN INTINDOLA / PHOTO EDITOR / APRIL 2018

MEN’S LACROSSE NO. 9 RUTGERS-NO. 19 OHIO STATE, TOMORROW, 4 P.M.
Rutgers closes out season at Ohio State GRIFFIN WHITMER CORRESPONDENT
The Rutgers men’s lacrosse team’s entire season comes down to Saturday afternoon, when it will play in a de facto playoff game against No. 19 Ohio State, in which the winner goes to the Big Ten Tournament and the loser’s season is likely over. Both teams sit at 2-2 in the Big Ten and Saturday is the regular season finale. The Buckeyes (7-6, 2-2) are coming off a road upset of No. 1 Mar yland, while the No. 9 Scarlet Knights (9-4, 2-2) most recently took down then-No. 11 Penn State by a score of 11-8. With major postseason implications on the line, Rutgers is not lacking any confidence and no nerves are apparent as the team readies for the biggest game of the season. “It’s just like any other week for us,” said junior midfielder Mark Christiano. “We know you just gotta put the work in. It’s about the process and that will lead to the end result.” The Knights were in a similar situation a week ago against the Nittany Lions, where a loss would have been a huge hit to their postseason résumé and a win would likely catapult them into the NCAA Tournament Committee’s top-10 rankings. Junior midfielder Mark Christiano and the Knights understand that they have to put the work in and treat their game with No. 19 Ohio State as just another game.

Knights look to end 12-game losing streak MATTHEW HOWE STAFF WRITER
On Friday, the Rutgers softball team will travel to East Lansing, Michigan to take on Michigan State in a three-game series with hopes of snapping its current 12-game losing streak. The Scarlet Knights (17-27, 2-12) have not won a single game in the month of April. The Spartans (18-24, 4-11) rank 121 nationally in RPI, with Rutgers close behind checking in at 127. They rank 11th in the Big Ten standings, while the Knights are dead last after just two conference wins this season, so far. Both teams have similar hitting statistics, with Michigan State checking in with a .262 team batting average and Rutgers close behind with a .257 team average. The Spartans’ top hitter is Lea Foerster, who bats .361 with 17 doubles, 8 home runs and 20 RBI’s. The Knights’ top batter is senior first baseman Rebecca Hall, who averages .385 with 12 doubles, six triples, 7 home runs and 37 RBI’s. The major difference between these two teams is its pitching, where Michigan State holds the advantage. Senior first baseman Rebecca Hall is batting .385 with 12 doubles, six triples, 7 homes runs and 37 RBI’s. She will lead Rutgers into East Lansing to try and end its 12-game losing streak.
