Glee Club prepares to jet to Europe for tour AVALON ZOPPO ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

From England cathedrals to universities in the Netherlands, the Rutgers University Glee Club is going international for a two-week tour this summer.

Two days after they sing at the Rutgers commencement on May 17, the club will fly out to England for their “2015 Companion Tour” until June 2, said Patrick Gardner, director of the Rutgers University Glee Club.

The club will make stops across the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, stopping at the Gloucester cathedral, Old Royal Naval College, the University of Utrecht, the University of Aula and the towns of Nijmegan, Oxford and Bridgend Wales. Coincidentally, the Rutgers University’s motto and seal is taken from two tour stops — the University of Utrecht and University of Aula.

Glee Club tours Europe ever y four years, Gardner said, and extensively toured Germany in past years.

“This way ever yone in the Glee Club going for an undergraduate degree will get to go overseas at least once,” Gardner said.

A wide range of songs will be included in the program, such as Estonian composer Veljo

Tormis’s such as “The Last Ship” and “Pikse Litaania,” Gardner said.

Gardner, who went on his first international trip with the club in 1996, said students visited a long list of countries across the globe, such as Poland, Estonia, Russia, Finland, Germany, France and Italy.

Eight years ago, Gardner said the club sang to an audience of more than 1,000 people in Nijmegan in the northern Netherlands, a place where the club is wellknown. The Rutgers students also notably sang at the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris to an audience of more than 3,000 people.

The Glee Club, which is a class in Mason Gross School of the Arts, practices ever y Wednesday for three hours and ever y Friday for an hour-and-a-half, in addition to extra rehearsals.

Students can benefit greatly from the international experience, Gardner said, from cultural exposure to forming a sense of camaraderie with fellow club members.

Students will be exposed to architecture and ar t from around the world and learn how to travel in an international context, Gardner said. “(They will) become a citizen of the world,” he said. “There is SEE TOUR ON PAGE 5

According to a survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, employers plan to hire 9.6 percent more new graduates from the Class of 2015 for US operations than they did for the Class of 2014. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY EDWIN GANO / ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR

Graduates face bright work prospects MEGHAN GRAU CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Class of 2015 graduates can sigh in relief, not because it is almost time for graduation, but their employment prospects are better than those faced by recent graduates, according to a sur vey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE).

NACE’s spring update to their job outlook survey found that employers plan to hire 9.6 percent more

new graduates from the Class of 2015 for U.S. operations than they did for the Class of 2014, according to the organization’s website.

Evidence of this improvement can be seen in the job search process at Rutgers, said Janet Jones, director of Employer Relations for University Career Ser vices.

“I would say we’ve had more activity, we’ve had more jobs listed and we’ve had more employers participating in our fairs,” Jones said. “It seems that the entr y-

level job market has seen some growth in the positive direction ... and that has also been substantiated by NACE’s recent report.”

Out of about 55 percent of Rutgers’ Class of 2014 that responded to the annual post-graduation survey, 49.8 percent of respondents found full-time post graduation opportunities, such as full-time employment, entrepreneurial opportunities, internships and SEE PROSPECTS ON PAGE 6

41st annual NJ Folk Festival features state culture DAN COREY ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Nearly 50 years after folk icon Bob Dylan shocked the Newport Folk Festival audience by playing with a rock band, members of the Rutgers community and beyond celebrated the growth of maritime folk culture in American music at the same time as Rutgers Day.

Thousands of Rutgers students, Garden State residents and out-ofstate visitors flocked to the 41st annual New Jersey Folk Festival from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday to enjoy a full day’s worth of music, dancing, crafts, food and recreational activities at Wood Lawn on Douglass campus.

“The New Jersey Folk Festival focuses primarily on traditional

indigenous, multicultural folk forms and artists from and residing in and around New Jersey,” according to the festival website.

Even though it was not affiliated with Rutgers Day, the New Jersey Folk Festival was a “cool alternative” to the events occurring on the College Avenue, Busch and Cook campuses, said Michael Byrnes, coordinator for the festival’s “Shore Stage.”

A School of Arts and Sciences senior, Byrnes was one of three judges for a competition for “Shore Stage” performers to become “Main Stage” performers at next year’s festival, he said.

Among other features, Shore Stage enjoyed old-time, bluegrass and Irish music jams to SEE CULTURE ON PAGE 6

Another complaint is that the ship’s presence might scare away fish and other marine animals in the region, Mountain said. Based on his previous

.experiences, Mountain said he does not think this is likely.

Mountain said he saw several creatures in his previous trips that would not be there if they were scared away.

“We were out last summer, (and) the protected species observers saw two whales,” he said. “You can’t say we scared them all off, because we’re shooting all the time.”

Mountain said this is the first year he received any backlash on using airguns.

It would be important for skeptics to understand how the technology works and what regulations are in place to protect ocean life, he said.

The goal of the research is to help protect human lives through understanding sea level change, he said.

“One-hundred million human beings live (so) close to sea level in elevation, (that) the height the sea level is going to rise over the next 100 years (will impact them),” he said.

This Friday will be a prime oppor tunity for students of all majors looking for a summer job or internship to connect with more than 160 employers if they have not found one already, said Melissa Blake, assistant director of marketing and public relations at University Career Ser vices.

Rutgers University Career Services will host the “NJ Statewide Career & Internship Fair 2015” on Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Busch Campus at the Sonny Werblin Recreation Center.

The event anticipates more than 3,000 students and alumni, dressed professionally and networking to ascer tain full-time, par t-time job and internship oppor tunities from a wide variety of fields.

“A lot of the times, students are applying (to jobs) online, they’re trying to make connections and they’re really pushing hard, but they don’t always have direct access to people to make a first impression, so what is unique about the career fair is that it’s a perfect opportunity to get in front of employers, versus applying online and hoping (for) the best,” Blake said.

NETWORK DDoS occurs when thousands of computers flood server, forcing administrators to shut it down CONTINUED FROM FRONT

at the end of March, as previously reported by The Daily Targum.

During that attack, servers were unavailable for an entire weekend, with access to CAS and related webpages limited to on-campus networks until late that Monday.

A DDoS occurs when thousands of computers request a server for information, overloading it and forcing network administrators to shut it down for protection. They primarily disrupt Internet-reliant services, as what happened with the University.

This attack followed a shorter one in early March, during which two emails by the alleged attacker were sent to The Daily Targum.

These emails claimed that the sender was responsible for all of the previous attacks on University servers, including one in November. It also said there would be an attack the day it was sent.

In an interview with The Daily Targum, Don Smith, vice president and chief intelligence officer for the University’s Office of Information Technology said the emails were “credible” given its proximity to the attack.

The emails were forwarded to the OIT and the Federal Bureau

of Investigation (FBI), which are attempting to track the attacker, according to a previous article in The Daily Targum.

A Reddit user claiming to be the attacker said they released private information online during the March 27 attack.

Smith said no personal information was compromised at the time, but that the OIT would track any changes to the situation.

Registration dates for the week have shifted, according to Julie Traxler, dean of first-year students in the School of Arts and Sciences.

Students with 20 or more credits can register on Tuesday, April 28.

Students with 15 or more credits can register Wednesday and students with 10 or more credits can register Thursday. All students can register on Sunday, May 3.

During the November attack on the network, first-year students were prevented from registering for the spring semester as well.

The Network Operations Center would not comment on if this server takedown was the result of an attack, but an email sent by the OIT described it as “technical difficulties.”

CRIME APRIL 27 JERSEY CITY — Jur y selection begins tomorrow for the trial of a 22-year-old man charged with murdering his son by pushing the child and his mother out of a third-floor window. The mother of this child, Saydee Lee Figueroa, and her friend, Madelyn Calderon, have filed separate lawsuits against him. Both lawsuits against Frederico Bruno say the police could have prevented the tragedy, but instead, they let Bruno walk out of a police station the previous day despite the existence of a warrant for his arrest.

APRIL 27 PATERSON — Of ficials confirmed that a 17-yearold Paterson boy was stabbed to death. The victim, Nadjhier Barner-Timmons, attended Destiny Academy, an alternative school for students with behavioral problems. Barner-Timmons was found in an industrial area and has become the sixth homicide victim of the year.

APRIL 27 ROCKAWAY TOWNSHIP — Roger Schneider, president of the Morris Hills Regional Board of Education and assistant principal at Roxbur y High School, has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child and aggravated criminal sexual contact. The victim disclosed to a third person the details of Schneider’s illicit sexual conduct.

The ensemble will also be able to raise the standard of their performances as a result of practicing in a wide range of venues, Gardner said.

Many students know the Rutgers University Glee Club from hearing the group sing Rutgers’ alma mater at University occasions, but Gardner said the club is also a ver y advanced, classical music ensemble. For instance, the club sang Oedipus Rex by Igor Stravinsky with the Rutgers Orchestra last year.

“Right now, the Rutgers University Glee Club, the University of Michigan Glee Club and the

Har vard Glee Club are considered to be the three finest men’s glee clubs in the United States,” Gardner said.

But students at Rutgers do not have to travel all the way to Europe to enjoy the classical sounds of the Rutgers University Glee Club.

The Rutgers University Glee Club is performing a diverse repertoire of songs in English, Estonian, Welsh, Russian, Latin and Hindi on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Nicholas Music Center on the Douglass campus. The concert, which marks the 80-member, all-male choral group’s 143rd anniversar y, will feature the same repertoire that the club plans to sing in Europe, Gardner said.

“You don’t have to go all the way to London to hear the Rutgers Glee Club,” Gardner said.

“Some of the finest repertoire for men’s choirs will be right at Nicholas Music Center.”

kick of f the day of festivities, Byrnes said.

“I hadn’t heard about the Folk Festival until this year, and I was (eager) enough to become a part of it,” he said. “I play music myself, and this is the type of music I play.”

Being a judge was difficult because there was a prevalent need to observe all performers objectively, Byrnes said. He said he looked forward to next year’s event and plans on becoming a regular attendee.

“Running a stage was cool because I’m a performer, so I never get to manage other people,” he said. “I think (my) end result of being involved in the music world would be a management (role), where I can see talent and who would work well together.”

Folk music is important to acknowledge and appreciate because it has the power to change viewpoints, as well as initiate change, said Paul Saint John, a folk rock singer who performed at the Festival.

A Philadelphia resident, Saint John said he trekked to perform at the Shore Stage on Douglass campus last Saturday because he thought it would be the ideal location for him to expose his songs to a crowd who would enjoy them.

“My personal satisfaction is writing these songs and getting them out,” he said. “Whether it’s performing them live up and down the East Coast or getting them on the radio ... just writing them is what’s most important for me.”

In 2000, Saint John emigrated from across the pond in a town

just north of Edinburgh, Scotland to live in the City of Brotherly Love and pursue his musical passion, he said.

Saint John was inspired to try writing folk songs after growing up in a setting where Scottish and Irish folk music was always playing somewhere nearby, he said.

When he moved to the United States 15 years ago, the folk rocker was pleased to see how Americana music became so prevalent and influential in American culture, Saint John said.

“It’s in our bones in Scotland and Ireland,” he said. “That’s what folk

music means to me ... songs about things that are happening now, songs about things that have happened in the past, just songs that you can sit down, play and listen to.”

Folk music also has the power to make personal struggles bypass at a quicker pace, said Jane Fallon, a folk singer who performed at the Festival.

A Brookline, New Hampshire resident, Fallon said she came to the New Jersey Folk Festival after two weeks of not being able to play guitar while recovering from an intensive surgery.

A few years ago, Fallon survived a car accident, and has taken advantage of her physical recovery to play her guitar sporadically, she said. She traveled south to perform Saturday because she entered a contest at the festival and figured it would be good exposure.

“I loved (performing) at it,” Fallon said. “(There’s) a wonderful vibe — people listening in the audience and (being) under the tent, you can’t beat it. It’s really nice.”

Fallon grew up listening to music constantly and started writing songs since she was a “wee lass,” she said.

Historically, folk music has always been there for her as a primary outlet for creative expression.

“Folk music is unique,” she said. “I think you have more of a chance to (make) art with folk music than anything else. The singer, songwriter (and) folk thing is my niche, and it’s given me a chance to travel around and meet new people.”

Almost every folk artist gives their best effort to put on an engaging performance to intimate audiences, Saint John said.

At the end of the day, just outside the “Shore Stage” near the Hickman Hall bridge, Byrnes said folk music is important for community togetherness because the genre of music caters to all aspects of the human condition.

“It’s about the people (and) the people trying to relate to the people,” he said. “(Performers are) not trying to make sales or make a profit, they’re trying to talk about and express a type of human emotion ... (and) connect to people on that deeper level.”

Alumni create startup to connect employers with graduates TYLER GOLD STAFF WRITER

Graduating seniors still hunting for a job, pay attention. A new startup called JobHero hopes to help make your job search easier.

JobHero, founded by Sefan Mancevski, along with fellow University alumnus Jerry Reptak and New Jersey native Sherveen Mashayekhi, started off with humble origins — the original plan was to be a “Tinder for jobs,” but that changed, said Mancevski.

“It wasn’t deep enough,” Mancevski said. “Tinder for jobs is too shallow of an idea to really help job seekers.”

JobHero in its current form is a much more powerful system than the “Tinder for jobs” it originally set out to be, Mancevski said. Now it more closely resembles a dashboard, complete with options to save and track job applications, upload and share documents and search job boards.

Mancevski wants JobHero to act as an assistant for prospective job hunters, helping to remind them to do simple but easy-to-forget tasks like send a thank you letter to recruiter. He said an organized job seeker optimizes the way people look for their next job.

“We believe the organizational aspect of finding a job is knowing how to use the best job practices that everyone talks about,” Mancevski said. “If you don’t use a spreadsheet or a system like JobHero, you might forget a lot of what you have to do. Hiring managers, especially for startups, need ‘thank you’ letters or something to remind them about you.”

Talented candidates can slip through the cracks, if they forget to do these small things, he said.

JobHero’s design was inspired by Trello, a popular task-management system that uses a series of boards to track items, Mancevski said.

One of the earliest incarnations of JobHero was actually a Trello board with about 100 job hunters. Mancevski said.

Mancevski said he and his fellow founders acted as job hunt assistants for these job hunters, much like how JobHero functions today, all the while trying to determine what part of the job search needed the most fixing.

The founders were mainly inspired to create JobHero after all having worked in hiring at past jobs, Mancevski said.

Mancevski said his co-founder, Reptak, was formerly a software engineer at Yahoo. According to Mancevski, Yahoo regularly assigns software engineers to work in recruiting for extended periods of time.

It might seem counterproductive to pull an engineer — whose time is usually very valuable — to work in hiring.

However, Mancevski pointed out that it’s often the case that recruiters aren’t the most technical people. Bringing an engineer into a job interview adds an entirely new level of knowledge and experience to the conversation, he said.

The JobHero team is taking advantage of anecdotes like this with a company blog that gives job hunters advice, stories and general thoughts on finding a job.

“We want to become a content hub where a few people consistently make professional and career related content. There are a few niche blogs out there that do this, but there’s no one central place to find all that content,” Mancevski said.

Mancevski said this kind of content marketing will help JobHero reach the right user-base of college seniors and recent college graduates.

“Since the college force has been our biggest market, we’ve been focused in two places: internships, in how similar applying for an internship can be to finding a job, and college seniors who are ready to graduate now, getting them to apply early so they don’t feel lost when they get out there,” Mancevski said.

Mancevski said his team has been primarily focused on creating an experience that’s usable and easy to understand while still retaining the complex features that help job hunters maximize their time.

JobHero is still growing, but Mancevski said it remains a work in progress and that the JobHero team has big aspirations.

“We want job searches to start and end on JobHero,” Mancevski said.

But you always notice ality that most students don’t realize until they have it when Rutgers gets fancy. Open House weekend already been here.

On NYC gay pride: importance of visibility, community FRONTLINE CHRIS RONEY

I

n 1981, on the cusp of what we know today to be the HIV/AIDS crisis, change was in the air. Born on Manhattan’s West Side as a result of mass military discharges of gay and lesbian soldiers on the heels of World War II, and emulated most-notably thereafter in San Francisco, Boston and Chicago, densely-populated urban neighborhoods populated by queer people, dubbed “gayborhoods,” were growing and thriving in record quantities across the country. Built out of necessity, these communities were inhabited by many of the generation’s most prominent figureheads and vocal proponents for reform in respect to the antipathy toward queers in the eyes of the law, as well as in the media. But in the years that proceeded, many of the nation’s earliest cases of GRID, an early diagnosis of the HIV virus, were being transmitted within those very neighborhood lines, dispersing the virus among their primarily “out” population.

It was these men-turned-activists, often infected themselves and fighting as much for gay visibility as they were for their own

lives, who kickstarted the modern campaign for equalized treatment of gay people in this country. They were writers and bankers, dancers, dreamers and doers: An entire generation of our community’s out and proudest, gone. But their legacy lives on immeasurably today in the strides we as a community have made both legally and socially within the past thirty years.

Strolling down Christopher Street rainbow-clad each June, I wonder what these men would think of New York City’s Gay Pride today, with drag queens sashaying

toward your orientation, can be inherently difficult. Most of my life, I didn’t know what it meant to be prideful. I resented the parts of myself I perceived as feminine. I resented the sound of my own voice. I felt out of place playing recreation basketball and being assigned to the “skins” team. Even at the age of seven, I felt out of place and just generally lanky. I didn’t know what it meant to be gay.

I just felt “other.”

Visibility within the LGBTA community has never been so important.

According to the National Coalition of

“As I dust off my rainbow-colored headband in anticipation, I look forward to reveling in a space I would never have imagined existed while growing up.” down the avenue, applauded by thousands in a celebration of acceptance and gay visibility. As I dust off my rainbow-colored headband in anticipation, I look forward to reveling in a space I would never have imagined existing while growing up. Each June, I wish it lasted a little bit longer. I have to say, there’s no place I would rather be than the Village during Pride.

Although it certainly became easier with time, growing up gay in a world not oriented

Anti-Violence (NCAVP), a record number of LGBT homicides, 14, have been reported in 2015 alone, with over half of the victims being transgender women of color. Statistics concerning gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning teens are stark. These youth have higher rates of suicide than most teens, higher rates of homelessness, higher rates of violence and higher incidents of self-reported rape.

It’s one thing to accept who you are and another entirely to be prideful. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionar y, to have pride is to respect yourself and deser ve the respect of others. To respect yourself is to be true to yourself, and to do so is difficult. In reality, I wish we lived in a world where I could hold my boyfriend’s hand walking down the street and not worr y about both of our safeties, instead of settling for under the table at a restaurant or in the car on the way home. I wish I didn’t worr y about the repercussions of looking “too gay” in potentially dangerous situations. But that is the world we live in. Pride is a unique space in that those hangups, no matter how ephemeral, disappear.

Nonetheless, the men of Gay Men’s Health Crisis, who fought unabashedly for our rights thirty years ago, would most likely be amazed at how far we’ve come. They weren’t afraid to be “different” or effeminate, as they were largely ostracized by the majority. Today, their efforts have resulted in a much brighter future, but we could still take a page from the fearlessness of their book.

U. tuition hearing did not offer students fair speaking time COMMENTARY SIVAN ROSENTHAL, RU SHARED GOVERNENCE

I

t may seem as if the issue of tuition does not directly correspond to the name of our group. After all, what is the relationship between tuition and shared governance? Exactly — there is none in existence at this school.

A single open hearing concerning the University’s budget is not enough to constitute a fair seat at the table for students. Beyond that, to speak at the hearing, students must register at least 24 hours beforehand and are only allotted two minutes of speaking time. How, in a mere two minutes, can someone sum up the way tuition increases cut the number of meals students can eat each week?

How can one explain the burden it puts on their mental health? Or the impact it has on their schoolwork?

All of these stories and many other powerful ones were told at the hearing.

Students bared the most intimate parts of their history to explain the difficulties of

staying in school. But regardless of where someone was in their story, after two minutes they were asked to “conclude their comments” because their “allotted time (was) up.” This displays an outrageous degree of disconnect between University administrators and their students.

Along those lines, we would like to point out the administration’s attempt to splinter the University community through false commentary. It has been a major administrative talking

faculty and staff salaries without raising student tuition. Time and again we have seen this directly contradicted. Staff and faculty have suffered intermittent freezes to their salaries over the last four years while student tuition has steadily increased by at least two percent a year.

We wonder why, instead of pitting student tuition against staf f and faculty salaries, the money that President Barchi has been fundraising all year — a

“All of these stories and many other powerful ones were told at the hearing. Students bared the most intimate parts of their history to explain the difficulties of staying in school. But regardless of where someone was in their story, after two minutes they were asked to ‘conclude their comments.’” point to pit student tuition hikes against raises for staff and faculty. Since November, President Barchi and administrators like Dick Edwards have assured the University community that they cannot guarantee an increase in

responsibility that has been deemed by his administration to be more impor tant to the University than being present in many of the af fairs here on campus ­— is not being allocated to ameliorate tuition

and to guarantee faculty and staf f the salaries they deser ve.

If we truly had shared governance at this school, if students and staff alike were allotted the time that they deser ved and if the administrators were ready to accept and respond to their concerns, these things would be taken into account.

I am sad to report that this was not the case. Instead, this open hearing is designed to make the Board of Governors and the administration feel that they have done enough.

Therefore, I would like to pose the questions that remained after my two minutes were up: Do you realize that telling students or staff to stop speaking after two minutes is the same as telling them they don’t matter? How can this administration justify de-prioritizing current students? Finally, will you freeze our tuition?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Response to critiques of Obama, Mrs. Clinton, their non-supporters I have chosen to respond to Steven Keller’s article, “Bigots who targeted Obama for race will target Clinton’s gender,” by offering a sobering view of why there is so much opposition to President Obama and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Keller attempts to make the point, that critical political conversion is scarce, which he does well. But similar to his previous article, he reinforces the unimportant topics he rails against.

Essentially, Keller portrays those who do not support President Obama and former Secretary of State Clinton as ignorant. He portrays them as people with little capability of critical political thought. Worst of all, he ignores all the crimes. Such crimes include the Internal Revenue Service targeting conservative groups to chill free speech, weapons transfers to Al-Qaeda-linked terrorists in Libya, Clinton’s unwavering support of the genocidal Iraq war and Obama’s drones strikes. On the last pony, as mentioned

by Sara Zayed and well known to many, drone strikes have resulted in 90 percent of civilian casualties, the destruction of

diplomatic communication and the personal acceptance of money from foreign governments, which is forbidden according to Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution.

“Their policies and actions are absolutely antithetical to liberty.”

Clinton is often championed as a supporter of women’s rights, but she never makes any mention or criticism of the

abhorrent and sickening treatment of women in Saudi Arabia, where, if a woman is raped, she is viewed as a whore, lashed or put to death. I, sir, choose not to support Obama and Clinton, not because of his race or her gender, but because they are hypocrites and criminals.

Their policies and actions are absolutely antithetical to liberty and make any decent person sick. The fish rots from the head down, and the longer men and women like Obama and Clinton are in power, the quicker the decay.

POSTSEASON Knights need strong finish to season in order to receive bid to NCAA Regionals CONTINUED FROM BACK

EXPERIENCE Rutgers finishes 2015 campaign without tournament despite top-half finishes CONTINUED FROM BACK The Knights’ performance in the Big Ten Championship summed up their first campaign as a member of a premier academic and athletic conference in collegiate athletics.

Rutgers has the potential to compete with the top programs in the Big Ten and it showed with its scores in the final two rounds at the conference championship. However, there is a gap between the Knights and their counterparts.

Rutgers failed to secure any tournament victories this season, partly due to the fact that it contains a young group of players. With a roster composed of nine golfers, six of the players are underclassmen — three freshman and three sophomores.

The lone senior on the roster, Jacob Stockl, capped his career on the banks over the weekend.

“It’s pretty wild looking back on it,” Stockl said. “I mean, it’s been a great four years. I wouldn’t want to change anything, and I’ve learned a lot as a person, as an athlete and as a student. I know that I’ll continue to open the next chapter of my life, and it’s sad, yeah, definitely, but I’ll just open a new chapter in my life and I can always grow from it.”

As one of the most decorated team members, Stockl shared a fair amount of success in his four years at Rutgers. The Knights will have a big void to fill next season with his departure, but Stockl believes the team is a work in progress with the ability to attain success in the near future.

“We played good this season,” he said. “We didn’t win any event, which is something that I would have liked to, but we were up there near the top on certain events. I felt

like we had a chance to win. I think we have a lot of work to do before we can compete with the top teams in the Big Ten, but we’re definitely going in the right direction. We know that we can get there soon.”

Freshman Toks Pedro had a solid year in his first go around. The Lagos, Nigeria, native echoed a similar sentiment to Stockl, stating his belief that Rutgers is beginning to close the gap between itself and other Big Ten squads.

“We’re very close,” Pedro said.

“We just all need to improve in various areas. Every year we are definitely going to get better and get closer and closer to doing that for

sure. We’re also a young team and we have a lot of time to get experience. We have to keep learning and keep improving.”

The golfers now have the summer to work and practice their games. Pedro said he needs to improve all aspects of his game to prepare for the fall season.

“Everything, to be honest,” Pedro said on what he needs to practice. “I think every part of my game can improve and I think just focus on all of that and you know, hard work. We can all get there, we’re not very far off. We’re definitely not miles away from even the best players in the Big Ten. Just improving each aspect of your game a little bit. Eventually, I’m sure we’ll all get there.”

Both teams lined up within the next two days provide a valuable opportunity to get back on track, especially for the Knights at the plate.

LIU-Brooklyn posts a team earned run average (ERA) of 5.81, with one standout in sophomore Christi Costello who is 5-4 on the season with a 2.87 ERA. Collectively, Iona boasts a 5.14 team ERA. The pitching of Penn State was able to attack Knights at the plate and set the foreground for success against the lineup.

“We have to go back to basics,” Nelson said. “We must remain loose at the plate. We tightened up this past weekend and it cost us. The key is to play with poise and hit the pitchers, doing what we are suppose to do at the plate, not what they want.”

As if the pressure wasn’t high enough for Rutgers to perform this last week of the regular season, it’s on now as it must to gain momentum entering the Big Ten Tournament.

After dropping the games to Penn State and facing LIU Brooklyn and Iona, that are down in the Rating Percentage Index (RPI), the Knights can’t do much more to receive an atlarge bid to the NCAA Regionals.

The only way to make it to regionals at this point is winning the conference tournament, according to Nelson.

But he believes his team is more than capable of carrying that mission out.

Getting these two wins can be crucial for the team going into the team’s last Big Ten series of the season against Wisconsin.

“It’s great to come off wins going in to a weekend because it gets your confidence up and pumps you to play,” said freshman designated hitter Sierra Maddox. “Hopefully, these midweek games will help us with a few things and prepare us for the upcoming weekend.”

Nelson pointed to the team not being able to afford any mental lapses while in the field defensively, something that cost them the rubber game of the Penn State series.

With this being the final week of the season, the team has to have everything fine-tuned on its end in preparation for the postseason.

“We have to keep pushing forward and looking ahead,” Maddox said. “It doesn’t matter what happened — just what happens next. It will give us good momentum going in to the Wisconsin series and a confidence boost, which would be good for us.”

April 28, 2015 WOMEN’S LACROSSE FIRST, FINAL GAMES HIGHLIGHT LACKLUSTER SEASON

Rutgers reflects on inaugural regular season in Big Ten BRIAN FONSECA STAFF WRITER

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

The front cover of the Rutgers women’s lacrosse team’s 2015 season book displays a convincing 10-7 win in its season opener against former Big East rival Villanova on Valentine’s Day. The back cover tells the tale of the Scarlet Knights’ first Big Ten regular season win in program history, a 7-6 victory against Michigan in the second-largest stadium in the world.

Open the book, however, and the pages in between will retell the story of the Knights’ program record 15-game losing streak between the two wins that began and ended their campaign.

Following the season opening victory, Rutgers dropped two consecutive one-goal games, the latter match a double-overtime thriller to Monmouth decided in the final six seconds.

In the 15-game stretch, the Knights were outscored, 217-108.

The 230 goals conceded throughout the regular season broke the program record for most goals against in a season, previously held by the 1988 team with 200.

Rutgers was unable to win more than two games for the first time in team history.

While the season as a whole was by no means positive, it was not a direct product from lack of talent on the banks.

Throughout the season, the Knights encountered top-level competition. According to the NCAA’s Toughest Schedule Report, Rutgers had the second-toughest schedule in the nation and the toughest slate in the Big Ten. Collectively, its opponents boasted a combined record of 171-80 and an astounding .681 winning percentage.

The Knights faced eight ranked opponents, including the

undefeated defending national champions in No. 1 Maryland, No. 5 Stony Brook and No. 9 Northwestern on the path to their final record of 2-15.

Rutgers hosted Northwestern in their final regular season home game of the campaign as it celebrated both Senior Night and Friends of Jaclyn Night.

Friends of Jaclyn is a foundation started in 2005 to improve the quality of life for children with pediatric brain tumors and their families by pairing them with college and high school athletic teams.

The Knights became involved in the program when they adopted Genna Camiolo, a young girl who was diagnosed with a pediatric brain tumor much like Jaclyn Murphy.

Camiolo has been a member of the Rutgers women’s lacrosse team’s family ever since.

When asked what her favorite moment from the season was, fifthyear senior Hollie DiMuro didn’t hesitate, referring directly back to the Knights’ newest member.

“The senior game and Genna day. Genna’s a big influence in my life, so her coming to see our game was really big, very important for me,” DiMuro said.

Despite the struggles throughout the season, there have been historic moments.

Junior attacker Halley Barnes scored the Knights’ first goal in the Big Ten in their 15-8 loss to No. 8 Penn State.

Senior goalkeeper Candice Dandridge earned the program’s first Big Ten weekly honor when she received Big Ten Co-Defensive Player of the Week honors following her 10-save performance in the season opener against Villanova.

Fifth-year senior attacker Lauren Sbrilli became the 19th Rutgers athlete to eclipse 100 career points in her two-goal performance against Temple. DiMuro overtook Nadia Rogala for second all-time in career caused turnovers.

Head coach Laura Brand-Sias believes Rutgers’ 7-6 victory over Michigan was the high point of the regular season for the Knights. EDWIN GANO / ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR / FEBRUARY 2015 The experienced defender acknowledges the roller coaster season the Knights have gone through, but does not admit to suffering any remorse.

“There was a lot of ups and downs — more downs than ups definitely — but in the end we came together, and we knew we could win (against Michigan) and we actually did, so it’s exciting,” DiMuro said. “I don’t regret anything that’s happened this whole season.”

Entering the Big Ten Tournament this weekend as the fifth seed in a six-team conference, Rutgers will erase the memory of the team’s worst stretch heading into the postseason.

Although they enter as heavy underdogs against 4-seed Ohio State, the Knights look to continue achieving milestones by winning their first Big Ten Tournament win.

“We started the season great with our first win. The middle, we’ll put behind us. We ended the season on a great note so hopefully we can proceed doing that,” said sophomore attacker Amanda Turturro.

In a season with few high points, the Knights believe they have ended the regular season in the best way possible.

“I would probably say (Sunday’s 7-6 win over Michigan),” said head coach Laura Brand-Sias of the best moment of the season.

“A team that’s had trouble all season and didn’t have a positive record and just kept fighting. To have it culminate into a Big Ten victory, it’s what you want to be fighting for all season. I can’t say there are a lot teams out there who would keep fighting and working to improve all season.”

In a season where Rutgers went through a monumental shift as it transitioned to arguably the most talented conference in collegiate women’s lacrosse — a conference which owns nine of the past 10 national championships — the Knights maintain a strong outlook on the future.

“Our wins and losses were unfortunate and not exactly what we expected,” Brand-Sias said. “But we knew it was a rebuilding year, and we had a lot of youth and some of those one-goal games weren’t going our way. We’ve got a positive outlook for the future and we have a lot of young players who got valuable minutes for us this season and that’s going to carry well into the postseason and next year.”

IN BRIEF

A

little over eight months ago, one video clip changed everything — the narrative on domestic violence in this country, the discipline for athletes engaged in domestic disputes and the perception of Raymell Mourice Rice as a person.

Still in search of an NFL team to sign him as a free agent after being released by the Baltimore Ravens last season, Ray Rice returned to Rutgers last Friday night to impart some wisdom upon the student-athletes on the Scarlet Knights football team.

“I reached out to Ray,” head coach Kyle Flood said during media availability at halftime. “I thought we had an opportunity here for Ray to give a very important message to our football players and he did that today.”

Rice spoke to the Knights a few hours before the Scarlet-White spring game, the first ever under the lights at High Point Solutions Stadium.

“The message was really simple — you can do a lot of great things in your life. You can do charitable works at home and in the cities you are working in, but if you make the wrong decision, you’re going to have to be accountable for it,” Flood said.

“I gave them the message to go out there and not make the mistakes that I made,” Rice told nj.com’s Steve Politi. “If I can help them understand, then I’ve made an impact.”

Flood intimated that Rice is always welcome on the banks, but didn’t sugarcoat his former running back’s situation.

“Ray made a wrong decision and he’s held himself accountable for it,” Flood said. “He’s paid the price for it and I thought today was an opportunity for him to deliver a message to prevent one of our young people from doing that in the future.”

The Cleveland Cavaliers’

sweep of the Boston Celtics in the first round of the NBA Playoffs culminated with a 101-93 victory Sunday night at the TD Garden, but it came at a price.

Stemming from a first-quarter play where their star forward tangled up with Boston center Kelly Olynyk on a fight for a loose ball, Cleveland’s Kevin Love suffered a dislocated left shoulder.

“I thought it was a bush-league play,” Love said after the game, according to ESPN.com. “... I have no doubt in my mind that he did that on purpose.”

The Cavaliers have not made an announcement regarding his status moving forward. Cleveland awaits the winner of the Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Two years into a five- year, $125-million contract with the Los Angeles Angels, Josh Hamilton is heading back to the Texas Rangers in a trade.

The 34-year-old centerfielder suffered a relapse with cocaine and alcohol in February, but the MLB did not suspend him after an arbitrator ruled the drug use did not intervene with the joint drug agreement.

A former American League MVP back in 2010, Hamilton notched career-highs in runs batted in (130), batting average (.359) and slugging percentage (.633) in Texas. He is expected to report to the Rangers’ Spring Training complex in Surprise, Arizona, this week.

SOFTBALL LIU BROOKYLN-RUTGERS, TODAY, 4 P.M.

RU seeks momentum nearing postseason RYAN MORAN STAFF WRITER

As the final moments in the regular season approach, the Rutgers softball team needs to heat up if it wishes to make its postseason dreams a reality.

After being swept by Penn State this past weekend, the Scarlet Knights (26-17, 10-10) hope to get things back on track in the final week of the regular season starting with LIU-Brooklyn (18-27) followed by a red-hot Iona (14-22) on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.

“Hopefully, we can take these losses and be able to bounce back from it so it would be nice to end the regular season on a good note,” said senior centerfielder Jackie Bates. “We have to clean up a few things in practice.”

While both games may be viewed as tuneups for the Big Ten series against Wisconsin this weekend, head coach Jay Nelson is still concerned about the contests leading up to it.

“If we get taken out of our game again, that’s what concerns me,” Nelson said. “We were taken out of our game big time this past weekend. We need to stay within ourselves to play our game in that moment.”

This late in the season, he added that regardless of the opposing team’s record, no game should be taken lightly.

The team must attack LIU-Brooklyn and Iona the same it would against any other elite Big Ten opponent.

All-time, the Knights are 16-6 against the Blackbirds and 7-0 against the Gaels.

With one week to go, Rutgers aims to bounce back from a disappointing three-game sweep in Happy Valley at Penn State.

MEN’S GOLF RUTGERS PLACED LAST AT BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP IN NEWBURGH, INDIANA

Knights earn experience in first season EVAN BRUNO

“They certainly got more comfortable,” said head coach Rob Shutte. “I think they were in a good spot mentally going in, but I think certainly it was a big stage and so that didn’t help early on, especially in the first 36 holes. It kind of just lasted the entire 36 holes. ... One of the qualities of all the tournaments we play in, we want to try to get better every round, you know, even when you have such a bad start and they did do that.”

Shutte thought Rutgers showed fight by continuing to play through the difficulties and not giving up.

“It certainly speaks to their fight and not packing it in, even though it was easy to pack it in given their positon early on there,” he said.

STAFF WRITER

The Rutgers men’s golf team completed its season in Newburgh, Indiana, at the Big Ten Championship on Sunday afternoon.

When the Scarlet Knights heard the results of the tournament, the 2014-15 campaign came to a close.

The Knights finished in 14th place at the tournament with a total score of 1,274. The team fell behind early due to struggles in the opening rounds after posting scores of 322 and 328 during the rounds one and two.

Despite being out of contention in the later portions of the event on Saturday and Sunday, the golfers battled and made a slight comeback.

The Knights improved their scorecard by shooting a 312 in rounds three and four.
