U. approves preferred student name policy VAISHALI GAUBA NEWS EDITOR
Rutgers has approved a student preferred name policy, starting last week. According to the policy, class rosters, Sakai and Rutgers Electronic Grading and Information System will allow students to use preferred names instead of legal names. This policy would no longer require students, especially gender-nonconforming, international and transgender students, to email professors beforehand to use different names or pronouns, said Zaneta Rago, acting director of the Center for Social Justice Education and LGBT Communities. Rago said the procedure took nearly two years due to the technicalities associated with it. However, the center, along with student groups such as Rutgers University Student Assembly and Trans*missions, helped in its implementation. “LGBT students and staff have been talking about the possibility of a preferred name policy for two years now, and ultimately with the creation of a new student group, the Trans*missions — the first trans and gender-nonconforming and ally student group on campus — in conjunction with RUSA, put together a preferred name bill last year,” Rago said. While the policy did not face any
kind of pushback, the technicalities consumed most of the time. “To create any type of change on campus, it’s a group effort between students, faculty, staff and administrators, and I wouldn’t necessarily say it was very difficult, but I think it has been a long process just because there’s so many technical aspects to … implementing the change,” she said. The center worked with the division of Student Affairs, the Registrar’s Office and the Office of Information Technology to institute the procedure. Justin Lucero, treasurer for RUSA, said RUSA held a meeting in November last year to discuss the bill on preferred name policy and passed it. “The first thing we did was pass a resolution to publicize support for the policy,” said Lucero, a junior in the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. Last year, members of RUSA met Felicia McGinty, vice chancellor for Student Affairs, to express the need for the policy. McGinty said she would draft the policy change and bring it up with administration. Rago said since the policy became operational, about 65 students have signed forms to utilize the policy. However, this was only the first phase of the procedure. The second phase, which is in progress, would allow students to use preferred names for student ID cards and housing rosters.

Rutgers nontraditional students find work-life balance on campus LIN LAN STAFF WRITER
College students are often stereotyped as budding youths — inexperienced, impressionable and a little naïve. But not all undergraduates at Rutgers are students in the traditional sense.
Some of them are adults seasoned with real-world work experience, family obligations and hardships. Whether they are a few years or decades older than the typical undergraduate, they all have one thing in common: being a nontraditional student. Last year, a total of 2,507 nontra-
ditional students, ages 18 to 55 or older, were enrolled in Rutgers-New Brunswick, according to the University website. Among them was Carol Hladun, a former advertising director at The Star-Ledger who graduated SEE STUDENTS ON PAGE 6
Project aims to improve off-campus safety LIDIA DE LOS SANTOS CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Fifty-four percent of undergraduates in New Brunswick, around 17,000 students, live off-campus. Anyone who does not live in University housing is classified as an off-campus student, meaning whether a student commutes 40 minutes from northern New Jersey or lives five minutes from College Avenue, they are both categorized the same. “I think we can all agree that the college experience of someone who drives 45 minutes every day to commute to class is very different from someone who walks 5 minutes to campus,” said Richard Trent, lead coordinator of the Scarlet Zone Initiative. The Scarlet Zones Initiative is a grassroots effort on the part of Rutgers student leaders and alumni to improve the quality of life for off-campus students living in the neighborhoods in New Brunswick, he said. Trent said the main concerns of the organization are about safety, quality of housing and the exchange of important information to students dwelling in off-campus neighborhoods. “We want to be sure campus police officers are patrolling our neighborhoods to prevent assaults
and burglaries,” he said. “We want to make sure that when a disaster like a flood or hurricane happens, off-campus students are as well-informed about evacuation procedures as on-campus students.” Last Spring semester, the University implemented an expanded crime notification system to alert students, faculty and staff of serious crimes that occur within the city’s fifth and sixth wards, University Spokesperson E.J. Miranda said in an email.
To make students even more comfortable living off-campus, the Scarlet Zones Initiative wants to collect data through surveys to inform University policy, Trent said. “To start, a team of volunteers will canvas New Brunswick to survey students about their perceptions and experiences living off-campus,” he said. “We will then analyze this data and make SEE SAFETY ON PAGE 6

To better picture how the RABIT, or Robotics Assisted Bridge Inspection Tool, works, it is helpful to picture an X-ray or an MRI — the RABIT imitates, in essence, these two forms of medical science. The purpose of the RABIT is to look for early signs of corrosion and bridge deterioration. By spotting

problems early on, transportation agencies can save millions of dollars per year on repairs, replacements and rehabilitation. Bridges with the most damage are most commonly assaulted by an onslaught of constant traffic, but environmental factors are just as significant. Exposure to rain, snow and freezing weather wears down resilience, and when pounds of salt are added on top, it’s little wonder that thousands of bridges show evidence of weakening. The RABIT, developed together by the Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration, took two and a half years to complete with congregated efforts from a team of more than 20 people. There were two prototypes of the RABIT, collectively costing $2.6 million, as part of the FHWA-funded “Long Term Bridge Performance Program.” The model of the RABIT that is currently in use is a fully autonomous system. It requires no driver in the seat — once the robot is on the road, the only thing needed are three GPS coordinates. As the RABIT operates, it utilizes its dozen sensors to rapidly collect data and spatial resolution. When the robot continues to trundle down a bridge, it projects the data into data fusion, or a 3D presentation. From that
point, the RABIT moves by itself on the bridge. When Gucunski and his team took the RABIT out for its first test run in Haymarket, Virginia, Victor Mendez, administrator of the FHWA, was so impressed with the ingenuity of the robot that he asked the team members to sign his hard hat. The RABIT 1 recently won the 2014 Charles Pankow Award for Innovation, the most prestigious award from the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Ceremony earlier this year, where they accepted their prize. “I sincerely believe and hope that what we developed will inspire many,” Gucunski said. “In the years ahead, we will get used to seeing robots on our bridges.” Since its first demonstration, the RABIT 1 has undergone a handful of new developments. A RABIT 2 has also been produced, boasting upgrades from its predecessor. Basily Basily, assistant research professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, said one of the most
radical changes in the RABIT 2 is its battery life. Whereas the RABIT 1 operated for four hours on one battery charge, the RABIT 2 can operate for eight hours on one charge. The RABIT 2 also has twice the range of the RABIT 1, doing twice the job of its ancestor. “[The RABIT] is a breakthrough in bridge safety,” he said. Parneet Kaur, teaching assistant in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, was part of the computer team that developed the RABIT 1. The team, organized by Kristin Dana, associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, used ground-penetrating radars to connect with the surface of the bridge. The computer team used the radars to catch signs of cracks and corrosion utilizing machine learning. A panoramic 360-degree camera provided a wider range of images for analysis. “The idea is to be as automatic and fast as possible,” Kaur said. As newer models of the RABIT continue to emerge, Gucunski envisions new alternatives for transportation agencies. If different states’ Department of Transportations or Turnpike Authorities invest interest in the RABIT, it could yield a new era of achieving new infrastructure in a more fiscally responsible way. Aside from developing the RABIT 3, investors and bridge owners need to be motivated to develop different systems for keeping their bridges sustainable. “What we did here at Rutgers is going to be a motivator,” Gucunski said.

with a bachelor’s degree in sociology. While she began her study more than 30 years ago at Raritan Valley Community College, she eventually had to set college aside to prioritize her job and family. Her experiences brought a dif ferent perspective to the classroom. When studying feminism, Hladun was able to tell younger students why it was so impor tant to appreciate feminist leaders in histor y because she had witnessed the 1960s feminist movement firsthand. Students like her are supported by the University College Community, which was founded on campus in 2007 to advocate for the needs of adult students. Susan Schurman, dean of UCC and the School of Labor and Management Studies, said 60 percent of high school graduates begin their undergraduate degree, but only about a third of them actually finish in the traditional four-to-six year time frame. “There are millions of people out there with some college ranging from a semester to three years or more — but no degree,” she said. One of the most noticeable differences is that nontraditional students often prefer night classes, which help career pro-
fessionals like Hladun keep fulltime jobs. “NTS students are the masters of organization,” Schurman said. “They have to be to succeed.” Feliciano-Berrios said the primar y ser vices UCC provides include an online community on Sakai, general academic and personal advising sessions, information sessions and student orientations.

Students who enroll for fewer than six credits do not qualify for financial aid, Feliciano-Berrios said. UCC helps them find parttime employment, childcare services and scholarships. The staff also reaches out to students via phone and Skype conversations to introduce them to the Rutgers campus, make them feel welcome and give them a strong support system that is tailored to their needs.
When juggling the demands of school and personal life, nontraditional students often seek the help of their families, Schurman said. Schurman was herself a nontraditional student, starting her career as a bus driver and working her way to a doctoral degree in adult education from the University of Michigan, according to the University College Community website. “Fortunately my family members were supportive, though I certainly missed a lot of the kind of school and social events for my spouse and my daughter, who was a preteen at the time,” Schurman said. The inspiration to continue one’s education comes from different places. Her classmates, many of whom were also nontraditional students who had overcome obstacles to be in the classroom, inspired Hladun. Hladun chose to study sociology because it was her passion to scrutinize the generally accepted philosophies of everyday life. “I just found the subject extremely fascinating,” Hladun said. “You get to think critically and look at all sides of people and situations.” Schurman said some nontraditional students are looking to change career paths or become more qualified in their current jobs, but not everyone is motivated by these goals. “Other people just feel like they didn’t complete their education, and for them it is not about a job or a career move, but about completing the degree,” Schurman said.

informed recommendations to Rutgers.” As an organization, the Scarlet Zones Initiative has changed drastically since its start last April. The group managed to create a model for the survey and data analysis, which are tremendously important. “A large portion of students, when asked what would make them feel safer in New Brunswick, mentioned things like a greater presence from RUPD and NBPD as well as more streetlights,” Trent said. “Several weeks later, an announcement was made that joint RUPD/ NBPD teams would be patrolling the 5th and 6th wards. This is the kind of action we are looking for.” The fifth and sixth wards of New Brunswick include those off-campus neighborhoods most heavily populated and frequented by students. The increase of alerts to students in those areas is exactly the type of positive change the initiative aims to accomplish. The survey only looked at a small section of New Brunswick and had about 150 responses. They aim to take what they’ve learned about and apply it to all of Rutgers-New Brunswick. Rutgers and the city of New Brunswick have also collaborated
to implement the “Good Neighbor” program for students living in off-campus housing. “They kicked off the program last week as volunteers from the University and the city walked through neighborhoods surrounding the New Brunswick campus and knocked on more than 900 doors and engaged in more than 550 face-to-face conversations with students and other residents,” Miranda said. Christina Thumann, a school of Environmental and Biological Sciences sophomore, has lived of f-campus in the city of New Brunswick since her first year. She and her friends felt it would be a lot cheaper that way, she said. “Despite all of the crime alerts I get on my phone, I still feel pretty safe living off campus,” Thumann said. “I probably wouldn’t want to head back home after 11 p.m. or so, but there have been a few nights I’ve stayed at Alexander until closing and felt perfectly fine.” When asked what would make her feel safer living off-campus, her response was, “more street lamps. It gets pretty dark.” “Our main problem is that students do not know we exist,” Trent said. “We are still a very small group of volunteers. We would like to see concerned student volunteer to help with our efforts over the next year.”

NIH budget cuts impact U.’s research funds, patient care
Research for a variety of ailments takes place at the Research Tower of the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. SOURCE: WIKIMEDIA COMMONS
NIKHILESH DE STAFF WRITER
Virtually everybody on social media has seen or heard of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge this past summer. Its purpose was to raise awareness of and money for
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and over $100 million was raised by Sept. 6, according to the ALS Association’s website. Medical research teams on average need about $1 billion over the course of 13 years to develop treatment to a disease, accord-
ing to the National Institutes of Health’s website. The NIH funds thousands of research institutions every year, including Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences. Last year, the NIH budget was cut due to sequestration, according to their website. The organization issued over 600 more grants in 2012 than they did one year later. Continued budgetary cuts are expected to eliminate funding for research projects as well as lower NIH employment. Budget cuts impact both research and patient care, according to the site. Fewer research projects will be funded and existing grants will lose a percentage of their money. Fewer new patients will also be admitted to NIH facilities, although there are no changes made in existing patients’ care. Celine Gelinas, the interim senior associate dean for research at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, said the University has a variety of medical institutions that research various types of ailments, including cancer, autoimmune dis-
eases, cardiovascular diseases and neurological disorders. Funding can come from federal grants, state grants or private organizations, she said. Typically, an investigator will apply for a grant to pursue a specific treatment or illness. The University and the Rutgers Foundation also provide funding for research. Grant money is issued by an organization to an investigator or team of investigators, she said, but not all of the money goes toward research. “When you apply for grants, you apply for money with two parts: the direct cost and indirect cost,” she said. Direct cost funding goes to the supplies researchers use and the personnel associated with the project, but the indirect cost supports the bureaucracy involved in the research. The bureaucracy includes infrastructure costs, such as keeping the lights on, and human resources, such as having the purchasing department order equipment, she said. RBHS receives most of its funding from non-federal sources,

Gelinas said. The varied forms of research at the University have wide-ranging implications for multiple fields. Matthew Emerson, a sophomore in the School of Arts and Sciences, said he believes the University spends evenly on both treatment and research. “[The University] could improve the way they spend money in the medical school by hiring an outside company to evaluate the ins and outs of where the money goes and what it’s used for,” he said. According to the University website, the Research and Development division in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology is first in the nation for federal funding for chemistry research. Brenda Kracht, a junior in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, said RWJMS spends enough money on research and treatment, though a larger budget would not hurt. “Robert Wood Johnson is one of the better hospitals to go to,” she said.
Rutgers researchers discover ‘zombie star’ MELANIE GROVES STAFF WRITER
A team of Rutgers researchers last August announced the discovery a type of star that lives after its death. This class of star. known as a white dwarf, is a non-reacting mass left behind after a star’s death. If it is paired with much larger stars, the white dwarf may absorb enough material to cause a supernova, said Saurabh Jha, an associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. This may leave behind a reacting mass, which University researchers have dubbed a “zombie star.” “The ‘zombie star’ is just a cute name we came up with, but the idea is that mass can be transferred from one star to another, and this can ‘resurrect’ a white dwarf,” Jha said. “If enough material is absorbed, the star can explode.” Curtis McCully, a post-doctoral Rutgers researcher, found this supernova in 2012 at the Lick Observatory in California, but it was not the first time that region of space had been documented. The Hubble Space Telescope took pictures of the region in 2005 and 2006, before the star had exploded. This allowed McCully to compare the before-and-after pictures and study the star before its death. This type of explosion is called a type Ia supernova, said Jha, who was on the team of researchers that discovered the zombie star. Normally, a type Ia supernova leaves nothing behind, said Alyson Brooks, an assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. The explosion discovered in 2012 appears to have left a remnant behind that behaves like the core of a star.
This newly-discovered explosion, termed Iax, Jha said, received the nickname “zombie star” because nuclear fusion still occurs even after the star has died. The discovery of this zombie star is exciting because it provides evidence for the standard model for type Ia supernovae, Brooks said. “The problem is by the time you see a supernova, one of those stars is missing,” she said. “But in this case, they had data from before the supernova went off, so they could look for that companion star, and they found it.” This is one of the first confirmations of this model to be discovered, she said.
McCully said the explosion’s brightness was a factor in determining whether or not the super-

nova they observed was something new.
“These type Iax’s are weaker explosions than normal, so the ejecta, the exploded material, is moving slower,” he said. “We find the densities of these objects are very high even two years after the explosion.” Type Ia supernovae are responsible for the discovery that the universe is expanding, said Carlton Pryor, undergraduate program director in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. They have led to the hypothesis that dark energy exists. “Most of these dwarfs explode with the same amount of brightness,” Jha said. “We use that to study how distant they are. We see a dimmer one — we know it’s far away. A brighter one is nearby.”
In 1998, these explosions were used to prove the universe is expanding, and this rate of expansion is accelerating, Jha said. Type Ia supernovae are expected every few centuries, he said, and are used as cosmic yardsticks. Now, type Iax supernovae can be used to study progenitor systems, the binary star systems that exist before the supernova occurs. Type Iax supernovae are not nearly as common as type Ia supernovae, he said, but they expect to see more of them in the future. McCully said the team will be returning to the Hubble Space Telescope in September 2015 to continue studying the supernova.

Twitter harassment adulterates good faith discussions NOTHING, IF NOT CRITICAL PHILIP WYTHE Admittedly, I had an interesting summer this year. As soon as last semester ended, The New York Times used my editorial column about trigger warning activism in a feature story about trigger warnings in collegiate education. The BBC and Huffington Post LIVE proceeded to interview me about my work, as dozens of national and international publications introduced me as “the Rutgers student who called for trigger warnings in the Great Gatsby.” Being at the center of attention in social activism was entertaining, but tiring. Due to my prominence within the discussion, I faced continuous harassment throughout May and early June. Inflamed right-wingers constantly harassed me, complaining about my upbringing and support of “censorship.” One Redditor privately messaged me, asking me to kindly jump off a bridge (which I politely declined to do). Although I had a positive support network surrounding me, the harassment I experienced was disheartening, to say the least. Facing scrutiny on an international stage is humbling enough. However, I learned quickly within the last few months that I am no stranger to controversy — in fact, I seem to be oddly attracted to it, like a firefly to a cheap bug zapper. In mid August, the online video gaming community combusted under allegations of abuse, nepotism and unethical journalistic standards in independent video gaming. The controversy was kicked off after Eron Gjoni, former boyfriend of independent
video game developer Zoe Quinn, released a call-out post identifying Quinn as an abusive girlfriend. Gjoni’s post used Facebook chat logs in order to show that Quinn regularly practiced gas lighting, suicidal threats, guilt tripping, emotional manipulation, inappropriate contact and outright lies in order to control her boyfriend. However, Gjoni’s call-out exposed another issue: Quinn’s sexual relations with several prominent colleagues within the video game industry. Any serious concerns with Quinn’s abusive behavior were quickly swept aside, as Quinn’s sexual history became a backdrop
Although I despised the sexual harassment that Quinn was facing, I felt that Gjoni was right in calling out his abusive girlfriend. Yet, many of my former trigger warning allies disagreed with my support for Gjoni, and many were quick to harass me for my beliefs. My credentials as an activist were questioned. I was misgendered by a prominent Twitter feminist and publicly called out in highly confrontational ways. I was accused of being a “gatekeeper” for claiming that abusers should have no place in intersectional feminism. And several of my friends and comrades faced death threats for
“In progressivism, toxic behavior — from physical insults to death threats — remains highly common, and creates a tense, unsafe environment for good faith discourse.” for sexual harassment. Misogynistic slurs were slung at Quinn on Twitter, her personal identification information was openly leaked for public access and explicit sexual photos from her former sex work were shared across the Internet for open consumption. However, I quickly found myself disillusioned with my fellow social justice activists. When a call-out for Quinn’s PR rep, Maya Felix Kramer, identified Kramer as an abuser and confessed misogynist, many activists refused to take Kramer’s abuse seriously. Likewise, when video game developer Wolf Wozniak admitted that Quinn had sexually harassed him at a wedding, several prominent video game developers harassed Wozniak: calling him “slime” and “a disgrace” for outing his harasser.
simply voicing their opinion on the matter. As a non-binary intersectional feminist, I despise sexual harassment. Quinn may be an abuser, but she does not deserve to be harassed and humiliated by the Internet. However, I’ve been left to conclude that social justice communities also sanitize harassment. In progressivism, toxic behavior — from physical insults to death threats — remains highly common, and creates a tense, unsafe environment for good faith discourse. Strained tempers lead to strong words, and strong words leave others feeling vulnerable, attacked and personally targeted — demolishing the ability to create a “safe space” and instead encouraging harassment toward vulnerable identities disagreeing with the flock at large.
Part of becoming a mature adult is understanding that every individual is capable of unhealthy behavior. We all make mistakes. However, harassment remains a common tool toward silencing others on the Internet. Harassment can come from any individual and works to make its victim feel violated or unsafe through invasive behavior. Whether sexual harassment or otherwise, harassment commonly appears across communities, and social justice is certainly no outlier in this regard. Indeed, we must hold our social justice communities to a higher standard. We must identify harassment for what it is: a form of abuse. Of course, there is a major difference between sexual harassment, which is in communication with misogynistic systems of oppression, and personal, apolitical harassment. Harassment is nuanced. However, we must start by acknowledging that harassment, in any form, is abusive toward others. Sexual harassment is bad. Harassment against others is bad. This is not a binar y: Any form of abuse is inherently unacceptable for a good faith discussion. Abuse and harassment is a serious concern among communities, and any individual is capable of perpetuating harassment. In social justice, we must take initiatives to make this concern clear. Abuse can never be accepted, regardless of who is perpetuating it. Only when we identify harassment as inherently problematic can we begin to end its toxic hold on Internet discussions.

Minority populations must not let stigmas silence them COMMENTARY MARGARITA ROSARIO It is the burden of abject identities to remain silent. Three years of college has taught me that courage is not gained through age or experience, but with the social amenities that one is allowed and that one takes. Too often do I hear stories about in-class anxiety, usually with the pretext that one is not smar t enough, or would be embarrassed if she or he spoke up in class or that their professor would find their point so obscenely inept. In-class anxiety is a huge problem, but it is its prevalence among systematically oppressed populations that concerns me. If it was the case that all students felt discomfor t upon speaking up, so that the thought of raising one’s hand would induce goosebumps and the act of speech itself would result in incredible distress, then our problem would be a much dif ferent one.
“
The problem we are dealing with is the tendency of minority groups to think themselves not apt for academic environments, or rather “disinterested” with “nothing to say.” I don’t believe for a second that anyone can ever have nothing to say or “nothing new to say.” Point in case are all the privileged cisgendered folks who perpetually succumb to incon-
and ultimately, the gift of veneration. I suspect they want to feel listened to and not disregarded because their voices are softer than others and their diction is not as austere. I have to admit — I do not myself suffer from the problem of in-class anxiety. My contributions to class discussions are sometimes lengthy and
“This semester, please charge yourself with distinguishing between what is innate and what you have been socialized into doing. Remember, there is always something to say.”
gruous, repetitive arguments, even as they “have nothing new to say.” There is something to say, always! My suspicion is that there is something more that minority populations want than to express their deep-lying thoughts. I suspect that what they want is the cour tesy of recognition, the kindness of acceptance,
always self-assured. But I reject any assertion that this is because my volition made it so. I think that there is something to be said about the way that I was raised that has lead to my visceral straightforwardness. I want to think that because I was taught to shed those aspects of femininity that make women and men
want to be complimentary rather than in plain sight that I am able to speak up in class. But women are not taught this. To repeat the already ubiquitous Ngozi Adichie quote made famous by Beyonce’s “Flawless” song, women are taught to “shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller.” Neither Ngozi Adichie nor myself have this problem. But as women, and as women of color, we are able to recognize it. We see it ever y day: present in the panicked faces of our pondering sisters, present in their shaking voices and halfway smiles, present in light of ever ything that towers over us and tells us that our comments are of no use. This semester, please charge yourself with distinguishing between what is innate and what you have been socialized into doing. Remember, there is always something to say.

NATION Barnwell, Turay give Knights multi-block game for first time since 2012 CONTINUED FROM BACK year we had a harder time with the inexperience on the [defensive line], but everybody has played now, so I think its going to help our pass rush going forward.” *** The Knights blocked two kicks on special teams. A blocked field goal in the second quarter by redshirt freshman defensive end Kemoko Turay and a blocked punt in the third quarter by sophomore defensive back Nadir Barnwell gave Rutgers its first multiple-block game since 2012 against Army. The 37 blocks by the Rutgers special teams unit since 2009 leads the nation. Barnwell said it was a matter of the protection they saw on film and a mix with their technique. “Those blocks just come from executing. Special teams is a big part of our game and we focus a lot on that,” Barnwell said. “We had a lot of blocks last year and we knew we could get one with their protection. We just focused and we executed.” ***
Junior placekicker Kyle Federico has now made 11 of his last 14 field goals tries dating back to last season. Federico split a pair of attempts against Howard, converting a 42-yard field goal and missing on a 36-yard attempt. But while Federico has become more consistent as a placekicker, he was inconsistent against the Bison on kickof fs. Federico was flagged on two separate occasions after kicking the ball out of bounds on the left sidelines. Despite the disappointment to some aspects of his performance on Saturday, Federico still feels he has the assurance of Flood with his kicks. “Coach Flood has the confidence in me. He just tells me to kick it how I kick it and that’s exactly what I did,” Federico said. “I think sometimes just on kickoffs you get a little too much adrenaline and try to kick the ball too hard.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow @TylerKaralewich and @TargumSports on Twitter.

September 8, 2014 VOLLEYBALL RUTGERS 3, CORNELL 1
Rutgers bounces back in finale for strong 2-1 finish CONOR NORDLAND STAFF WRITER
After opening the season with an impressive performance at the Falcon Classic, the Rutgers volleyball team followed up with another strong showing at the Seton Hall Tournament this weekend. The Scarlet Knights (4-2) went 2-1 in the competition in South Orange. Rutgers defeated Siena (1-6) in three straight sets Friday to start off the tournament. Despite dropping the next game Saturday in four sets to in-state rival Seton Hall (5-2), Rutgers finished up strong with a four-set victory later in the day over Cornell (2-2).
“I think the weekend went pretty well, overall,” said head coach CJ Werneke. “I was pleased with the ef for t our team put for th, and it is always nice to go 2-1 on the weekend and pick up as many wins as you can.” In their first match against Siena, the Knights were in sync both offensively and defensively, downing the Saints in three straight sets. Rutgers came out firing in the first set with a 25-11 advantage. Set two saw the Knights hold onto an early slim lead before putting the Saints away by a score of 25-20. In the third set, Rutgers and Siena went back and forth. Knotted up in a 17-17 tie, Rutgers ulti-
mately pulled away to clinch the victory, 25-21. Freshman Meme Fletcher set the tone for Rutgers on the offensive side of the ball, leading the Knights with 14 kills. Junior setter Anna Sudbury and freshman setter Talia Holze orchestrated the offense with 20 assists each. Defensively, junior libero Ali Schroeter had another strong game as she tied her season high with 19 digs. The Knights faced tougher competition Saturday in their matches against Seton Hall and Cornell. Despite rallies in all three games from Rutgers, the Pirates dropped the Knights in three straight sets. Against Cornell, several Knights recorded season highs on the stat
sheet, as Rutgers won the contest in a competitive four-set match. In the first set, Cornell pushed Rutgers to the limit before taking the first game by a score of 27-25. The Big Red came out stronger in the second set, winning by a score of 25-22. But the Knights bounced back, winning the final two sets with scored of 25-17 and 27-25 to earn the victory. Fletcher posted a career high with 19 kills and was named to the All-Tournament team after compiling 39 kills and 35 digs over the three games. Schroeter also reached a new season high after notching 26 digs against the Big Red. “So many players stood out from match to match,” Werneke
said. “For us to be at our best, everyone needs to make contributions. I think each match this weekend someone different rose to the occasion, and in each game a different position on our team really played as the workhorses and really stood out for us.” The coaching staff has really connected with the players, Werneke. The Knights enter the new week in a good spot with a 4-2 record. “In Division 1 athletics you have to bring it and earn it, and I was proud to see our kids put in enough effort to come away with two wins,” Werneke said.

WOMEN’S SOCCER RUTGERS 5, PRINCETON 0
Forward’s two goals boost Knights GARRETT STEPIEN STAFF WRITER
At first, the two teams were evenly matched. Going into the half, the Rutgers women’s soccer team was up just one goal. Despite being a heavy underdog, Princeton gave the Scarlet Knights a challenge. With Princeton opening its season last Friday night at home against the Knights, head coach Mike O’Neill knew that the Tigers’ optimistic energy would be plentiful. “One of the things we addressed before the game was that it’s Princeton’s opening game, so we knew that they would come out with a lot of energy,” O’Neill said. Outside of the 1-0 deficit after an early goal by senior forward/ midfielder Amy Pietrangelo in the seventh minute, the Tigers matched the Knights on the field with five shots on goal and a stout defense that did not allow as much as a sniff near the net in the final 18 minutes of the half. Initially, Rutgers was given a challenge. But that challenge soon vanished into the night. Led by senior for ward Stef Scholz, the Knights erupted for four goals in the second half and buried the Tigers by a final score of 5-0 at Mysik Field at Roberts Stadium. Scholz got the offense’s wheels turning immediately coming out of the locker room, wasting no time with a goal in the 52nd minute. After what initially seemed to look like a save by Princeton goalkeeper Darcy Hargadon on a corner kick, Hargadon bobbled the ball before letting it loose, where Scholz hopped on the opportunity and buried the ball in the back of the net to put Rutgers up, 2-0. Scholz, who exploded for four goals last year against the Tigers, knew coming out of the locker room at halftime that the Knights needed to initiate some source of momentum. “We talked during halftime that we needed to extend our lead a little bit, and we weren’t really playing our style that we normally do,” she said. “So, we came out really

strong in the second half and started our attack really, really well and then kicked it in the back of the net to extend our lead.” Nearing the midway point of the second half, lightning struck twice. Scholz found the back of the net once again in the 68th minute, thanks to a great feed off of a header by junior backer Brianne Reed. What came next demonstrated why the Knights were the better team. On a free kick from 35 yards out, junior forward Rachel Cole booted a laser shot into the back of the net in the 76th minute to make it 4-0. Then, right before the final horn sounded, freshman midfielder Tori Ahde used every bit of time the 90 minutes allowed. On a last-second shot from the left sideline of the 18-yard box, she scored her first career goal to put the finishing touches on the game and finalize the margin at 5-0. The outing was similar to last year’s matchup with the Knights’ Garden State neighbors from the Ivy League, where they went on to win 5-1. This time around, O’Neill thought that the team’s effort was even stronger. “What we also talked about in the first half was the importance of being a 90-minute team,” O’Neill
said. “The thing I enjoyed about the first half was we were put under pressure a bit — and every game you’re going to be put under pressure — but I liked the idea that we were put under pressure and not breaking.” O’Neill said that the defense and its “bend-don’t-break” mentality set up for the fireworks that ensued in the second half. He credited a formidable back four — the backbone of a defense that has pitched three shutouts in a row — for how functional the offense subsequently operates on the other side of the field. It also makes life easier for freshman goalkeeper Casey Murphy, who improved to 4-0 in the net after recording three saves against Princeton. As a part of that back four, Reed feels that the defense — and the entire team as a whole — has gotten the ball rolling. “Our defense organizes our midfield really well and then, as a back line, we have chemistry,” Reed said. “We know how each other plays and we play off each other’s strengths, so I think we found a good connection and we just have to keep rolling with that right into our Big Ten play.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s soccer team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

Poor second half proves costly for RU SEAN STEWART CORRESPONDENT
Following a disappointing defeat last Thursday against Syracuse, Rutgers head men’s soccer coach Dan Donigan said he was expecting a strong response from his team. Despite a dominant first half yesterday at Yurcak Field, which included a number of great chances for the Scarlet Knights, an early second-half goal by Hofstra forward Maid Memic quickly shifted the game’s momentum. With Rutgers frantically pushing for an equalizer, the Pride sat deep in their own half looking to counter and were more clinical in the final third, defeating the Knights, 3-1. Seeking redemption following a 3-0 defeat at home last year versus the Pride (0-1-2), the loss for Rutgers (2-2) stings twice as hard. “We knew going into this game, this was a revenge game, a grudge game, and we were excited for it and ready for it as you can see in the first half,” said sophomore midfielder Erik Sa. “We think we’re a much better team than we played today and … I think we have a better team than we had last year, and that’s the part that hurts the most.” The win was Hofstra’s first of the season and the Knights’ second straight loss in a row at home. Unlike last year’s game, the first half seemed to be going Rutgers’ way until the start of the second. A turnover in the midfield created a Hofstra counter attack and put Memic in on a one-on-one breakaway with sophomore goalkeeper David Greczek. The First Team All-Colonial Athletic Association player slotted it past the outstretched Gresczek, leaving the Knights in disbelief that they had fallen behind. “We were kind of in shock a little bit because we played so well in the first half,” Sa said. “…And once they scored their first goal in the second half — I don’t know if it’s panic — it’s just like, what is going on?” The Pride made it 2-0 about 20 minutes later when an unmarked Daniel Grundei buried a header into the right side of the net on a corner kick.
Hofstra caught the Knights on the break once again with seven minutes left when midfielder Rory Murphy was played through by midfielder Joseph Holland. Murphy blasted a shot low into the right hand corner to go three goals up, giving Murphy his third assist of the game. Sa made it 3-1 with five minutes remaining with a perfectly placed left-footed shot into the upper 90 of the far post from just within the 18-yard box. But the superb goal proved to be nothing more than a consolation prize. The game could have had a much different outcome had the Knights been able to bury a couple of quality first half chances. The most notable chance came 10 minutes into the game, when a saved shot from junior midfielder Rayon Gibbs found the foot of inform freshman forward Jason Wright. Alone in the 18-yard box, the forward sent a low curling shot past goalkeeper Patric Pray, but it hit the far post instead of the back netting. It was a dominant first half for the Knights, who outshot Hofstra, 14-5, and had a season-high nine corner kicks. Rutgers made it difficult for Hofstra to build through the midfield during that stretch and won a majority of 50-50 balls. “The game could have been 4-0 in the first half,” said junior forward J.P. Correa. “It would have been over. We just have to finish our chances.” The game ended with Rutgers taking a season-high 20 shots but also allowed 17 of their own. For a disappointed and frustrated Donigan, it was simply a tale of two halves. “You take it for what it is. It was a great first half and a poor second half,” Donigan said. “You just have to take a gut check right now, and you have to look at yourself and tell yourself, ‘Are you satisfied with your performance?’ Because now that’s two years in a row that team has come in here and, quite honestly, taken it to us for a game and a half.” For updates on the Rutgers men’s soccer team, follow @SeanStewartRU and @TargumSports on Twitter.
After a blowout loss Friday afternoon, the Rutgers field hockey team rebounded yesterday against Lafayette with a 2-1 home win. In the first half, the Scarlet Knights started off strong with two goals. Junior forward Nicole Imbriaco, assisted by sophomore midfielder Alyssa Bull, scored the first goal within three minutes of the game starting. Rutgers scored again when sophomore defender Devon Freshnock earned the first goal of her career on an assist from junior forward Katie Champion. After a late goal by Kendall Weedling, the Leopards cut the lead in half with 15 seconds remaining in the first half. In the second half, no one was able to break through offensive-
ly once again. Freshnock’s goal turned out to be the game winner for the Knights. “It was really exciting,” Freshnock said of scoring the goal. “We practice corners everyday. I just finished really well.” The difference between the two weekend games was that Rutgers better executed its game plan thanks to a stout defensive effort and organization. “Our team defense was way more organized,” said head coach Meredith Long. “We focused more on our playing structure. We really knew that we had to work off the ball to get good passing lanes. We were able to create space and possess the ball the first 10 minutes, which was a huge focus.” Senior midfielder and captain Jenn Staab expressed similar remarks.

“We were more composed this game, and we really communicated well to help us get the win,” said Staab. Rutgers looked to capitalize on a hot start to its season on Friday at home, but the Knights fell by a score of 6-1 to Temple. The game started off rough for the Knights as they went down 3-0 in the first 12 minutes of the game and were consistently unable to get anything started offensively. The first goal of the game was scored 76 seconds in and from then on, the Owls continued to roll with a full head of steam. Going into the half, Rutgers trailed, 4-1, with the lone goal coming off the stick of Imbriaco. For much of the game on defense, the Knights struggled mightily. “Defensively, we had some breakdowns,” Long said. “We were a bit loose on our defensive play inside the circle, which led to goals.” The second half was more of the same story, with Temple adding two more goals to assert its dominance over the Knights. Tricia Light led the Owls with three goals. Alyssa Delp, Nicole Kroener and Rachael Mueller each added one goal. The Knights held the advantage in shots, 19-16, but weren’t able to capitalize on their opportunities. The three early goals put a burden on Rutgers. “Temple [putting] three goals in really puts a pressure on us and our attack,” Long said. “We lost sight of our buildup play. We were desperate with our attack.” For updates on the Rutgers field hockey team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

Knights respond to early deficit with 31 unanswered points, set stage for match of unbeaten teams with PSU GREG JOHNSON
FCS opponents was over. Likely finished, too, is the nation’s longest streak of eight seasons with at least one shutout. But in the end, none of it mattered. Instead of giving Howard any hope of a monumental upset, the Scarlet Knights shook off a sluggish start with 31 unanswered points and ultimately a 38-25 home-opening win, setting the stage for arguably the most anticipated game in school history next Saturday against Penn State.
