Students buddy up for international speed friending program FRANCESCA FALZON CORRESPONDENT

Sometimes, making friends at a new university can be even more dif ficult than the calculus classes and physics lectures on your schedule.

On Friday, Sept. 11, the Rutgers Center for Global Services kicked off their International Friendship Program with the first speed friending event — a play on speed dating — of the semester.

With more than 50 attendees, speed friending was a resounding success, said Katsumi Kishida, an international student adviser at the Center for Global Services. Only about 30 students had registered initially, but many dropped by and were warmly welcomed to par ticipate.

“The International Friendship Program is a program we run out of Global Services, and the main mission is to create partnerships/ friendships between international students and domestic students,” she said.

The speed friending event is intended to bridge culture gaps and facilitating language exchanges, Kashida said. The goal after an hour and a half is for most students to find a language partner with whom to practice with throughout the semester.

“A lot of international students want to brush up their English and

a lot of domestic students are interested in learning another language,” she said. “The hope is that they find each other and create a partnership throughout the semester.”

Kishida’s favorite aspect of the program is seeing friendships bloom, and she believes the International Friendship Program can be a tool for that.

For the future, Kishida hopes to reserve a larger room for the event in order to better accommodate the overflow of students. With such a large turnout on Friday, the program organizers will need to adapt future meetings to the growing local and international student bodies. “ ... We need to get a larger space for next time so they can move around comfortably ... and maybe a microphone or a whistle to let people know when to move and so we don’t end up losing our voices,” she said.

Because the majority of international students have just recently arrived, many of them have not had the chance to assimilate and meet people in a relaxed non-academic setting, said Kim Su, a first-year master’s student in the Graduate School of Education.

“I really like it ... for (many) international students, we came here four weeks ago, so we (haven’t) really had the opportunity to meet a lot of friends,” she said.

The two leading ethnic majorities at the University during the 2014 to 2015 school year were Caucasians and Asians, at 43 percent and 26 percent, respectively, according to University-produced statistics. The Latino population was in third place, at 12 percent, but Latinos, as a whole, are swelling rapidly in growth in the United States, with a population of 55.4 million in 2014, and it seems unlikely to slow — the Hispanic population is growing and is expected to reach 28 percent to 30 percent of the U.S. population by 2050.

While 95 percent of Americans advocate for humane treatment of animals on farms, according

to a study by the American Farm Bureau, a much smaller percentage of Americans are willing to act on their beliefs by cutting meat out of their lives, even for a day.

U. issues free safety kits for off-campus students AVALON ZOPPO ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Something as small as light timers and window alarms can go a long way in increasing campus safety.

Students have received multiple crime alerts within the first two weeks of the semester. But the Off-Campus Living and Community Partnerships is looking to make living in New Brunswick a little safer with a “Scarlet Block Watch” campaign, which is modeled after the Buckeye Block Watch at Ohio State University.

Last Thursday, the department reached out to off-campus students to deliver free safety kits to residents’ addresses at an event entitled “Scarlet Block Watch Kick-Off Party,” said Kerri Willson, director of the Off-Campus Living and Community Partnerships, an office dedicated to assisting students living off campus. The safety kits were equipped with window alarms and light timers.

“Any off-campus student who registers their local address with our department is entitled to receive a safety kit,” Willson said in an email. “One of the programs (Ohio State does) is a light timers and window alarm distribution program.

It’s a way to get students in the door and engage with them about safety in their off-campus residence.”

More than 800 students registered with the office so far and about 200 students received a free safety kit, Willson said in an email.

Kaivanna Shah, a Rutgers Business School senior, said with the recent number of crime alerts, free safety kits are beneficial to off-campus students. But she believes students need to be aware of how to install the light timers and window alarms successfully for the kits to be worthwhile.

“Most of the times, robberies involve entry into the houses through unsecured entrances or by breaking through doors and windows,” she said. “ … To promote safety, having light timers and window alarms would be good.

Safety kits are absolutely designed for this purpose.”

In order to further increase security, the University plans to install dozens of security cameras in the Rutgers campus area

In an effort to bolster safety for students living in off-campus residences, the Off-Campus Living and Community Partnerships issued free safety kits to students at an event, “Scarlet Block Watch Kick-Off Party” on Thursday, Sept. 10. The kits, which were equipped with window alarms and light timers, was inspired in part by Buckeye Block Watch, an initiative by Ohio State University that also administers free window alarms for off-campus students. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY EDWIN GANO / ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR in addition to the 2,700 that exist already, Chancellor Richard L. Edwards told The Record in an interview on Wednesday.

Fifteen new members will be recruited to the Rutgers University Police Department in the coming months, Edwards said. He also noted that students can request a University police escort when returning to campus from other areas in New Brunswick.

“The safety and well-being of all members of our community are a priority,” Edwards said in the interview.

The issue of student safety was brought to the forefront last week when 10 current and former Rutgers students were charged with armed robbery and aggravated assault for an incident that occurred toward the end of the spring 2015 semester. Five of the charged students were members of the Rutgers football team.

Even further, an unrelated sexual assault was reported in the early

morning a week before the start of the fall semester in an area of the neighborhood where students frequently visit to eat and shop.

But last November, President Robert L. Barchi told The Daily Targum in a private interview there was a 30 to 50 percent decline in

crime. He said the recent wave of crimes is a misunderstanding students have had about the new crime reporting system that sends alerts about off-campus incidents in addition to on-campus incidents. “ … You are hearing more about (crimes). So, is that a bad

thing? Well, I don’t think it is, because that’s one of the reasons we did it,” Barchi said. “It’s to make people aware of the fact that walking around two blocks off campus at 3 a.m. is not a smart thing to do in an urban environment. It just isn’t.”

“New Jersey is among the top 10 states with the highest Hispanic populations,” said Sanchez, a member of the League of United Latin American Citizens and the treasurer of the Association of Latina and Latino Social Work Educators. “I have been especially concerned about the low numbers of Latino students and faculty at Rutgers, and in other universities, and have presented papers on this topic.”

LISTA will of fer social work practice to students who are specific to Latino/Latina populations to increase understanding of the Hispanic culture, Sanchez said. The program will also provide optional courses on the professional use of Spanish, and of fer study abroad programs in Mexico, Costa Rica and Puerto Rico.

The initiative additionally aims to assist students financially with stipends and scholarships to make a degree from the School of Social Work more af fordable to students.

“Many students earn their undergraduate degrees in social work, but never return to complete their master’s degree because they can’t af ford it,” Sanchez said.

LISTA is a great oppor tunity for students because it will provide scholarships or stipends for internships to those who become involved, Sanchez said in an email.

The program is only open to bilingual students, but knowing a second language would be useful students, as many Hispanic people in the United States are immigrants and do not speak English fluently.

“Many Hispanic people speak Spanish, so we would like bilingual students, those that can speak Spanish. If you can’t speak Spanish, you wouldn’t be able to help them,” Sanchez said.

The School of Social Work is seeking agencies that would of fer field placements and stipends for Master of Social Work students who have special training in working with Latino/ Latina populations, according to the website for the School of Social Work.

These agencies will provide Masters of Social Work students with real-world experience along with a sense of income.

“The social work profession needs more Hispanic social workers and I am hopeful that LISTA will help create a cadre of culturally sensitive social workers in organizations across New Jersey,” Sanchez said in an email.

“This really helps provide the platform to allow us to meet other students.”

Shan Meisner, an IFP volunteer and graduate student in College Student Affairs, said she always had a big interest in meeting people from around the world.

U. Energy Institute talks ‘watts’ new with lecture series GEORGE XIE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Solar energy has grown in leaps and bounds from where it began years ago.

Colin McCormick, a Washington, D.C.-based researcher at the World Resources Institute, is an energy technology analyst studying renewable solar power. He spoke at the first Energy Policy Series lecture hosted by the Rutgers Energy Institute last Friday.

“Solar and wind electric generation are growing as the costs come down, more and more solar and wind plants are being built,” McCormick said. “Unlike conventional plants like coal and gas, you can’t control when (renewables) generate power … so utilities are having to get a lot smarter about how to time and balance it.”

Robert Kopp, associate director of the Rutgers Energy Institute, organizes the lecture series. Bringing a wide range of perspectives on the energy field to a student audience is the main goal of the series, he said.

“Some of our speakers are on the forefront of this field and can give real-world, seasoned experience into this,” Kopp said. “Combine that with people who have served in academic activities.”

forecasting load and generation, McCormick said. Load refers to electricity demand and generation refers to electricity produced and supplied to the grid.

Forecasting is important since most grid operators set their production level one day ahead.

Load is relatively predictable, but wind and solar generation introduce major supply uncertainty, he said.

Producing too much electricity is a waste of money while producing too little leads to demand shortage and lost revenue.

Significant progress has been made in the area of wind and solar power forecasting, he said.

Xcel Energy, a utility company, has developed a state of the art wind power forecasting model with the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, he said. It has reduced forecasting error by 40 percent, leading to savings of $40 million over four years.

India is the world’s fifth largest wind market but it suffers serious issues in wind power forecasting, McCormick said. Most wind power plants in India have little to no forecasting, with many plants simply guessing. As a result, between 30 and 50 percent of wind power is wasted.

A pilot project to improve forecasting is being implemented in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu to improve the efficiency of wind power, he said.

I’M ATTRACTED TO YOU: HOW DO MAGNETS WORK?

Although World Marrow Donor Day, a national effort to cull bone marrow for cancer patients, is on Sept. 19, Rutgers will hold two bone marrow drives on Sept. 16 at Brower Commons on the College Avenue campus and at Busch Dining Hall on Busch campus.

Rutgers to hold bone marrow drives during week TIFFANY ZHU CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Rutgers students can make a lasting impact on the lives of thousands, simply by swabbing their mouths.

All 50 states will commence in the first World Marrow Donor Day (WMDD) on September 19 in a campaign against cancer, according to a press release from Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation.

Ambassadors from the Gift of Life’s Campus Ambassador Program will help to swab possible donors’ mouths in each state, thanks to the World Marrow Donor Association (WMDA).

Gift of Life is a national bone marrow registry that is a part of the World Marrow Donor Association. The organization has helped facilitate more than 2,900 transplants for cancer patients, according to the press release.

The mission for WMDD is to expand the registries and to make a statement that anyone, anywhere, could be a donor.

Bone marrow transplants are a form of immune therapy used when traditional chemotherapy may not help a patient, said Vimal Patel, resident member of the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey.

Since one marrow is full of stem cells, implanting from a healthy person into a cancer-ridden person allows the patient’s body to achieve healthy blood cells. The process involves implanting a

healthy immune system into and thus both were chosen to represomeone whose system has sent the University.

“They also met the requirebroken down, Patel said.

Every person of every ethnicity needs to be represented, Meiner said.

“This is why WMDD will be an important campaign and an effort to make sure that we can reach a world where no one will be turned down and told that they cannot be healed,” she said.

Buchalski said she is helping a drive on the September 19 at the East Brunswick Community Park.

She became involved in Gift of Life when her aunt was diagnosed with cancer in 2010 and was in need of a marrow donor. That is when her family created Smiles4Shira, an organization that aims to increase the number of donors in the national bone marrow registry that is sponsored by Gift of Life.

“Actually being a part of it is a truly new, different and exciting experience. The need to expand the registry is huge in both numbers and diversity,” Buchalski said. “You cannot truly experience the feeling of satisfaction, self-fulfillment and selflessness all at the same time without being a part of this huge movement.”

Buchalski said any student can help in the fight against cancer.

“There is a lot of good in the world and I’ve always wanted to be on the giving end rather than on the receiving end. I think that students should take the chance to make a direct impact on someone else’s life,” Meiner said.

Occasionally magnets can seem to work through magic powers. But like all magic, they follow a basic set of rules that govern how they behave.

Magnets have tiny domains (atoms) with their own tiny magnetic fields 9moments. Non-magnetic materials have no real order to the domains, which is why they have no field — the moments cancel out.

Magnetic materials have domains that line up, creating a proper field.

Every element on Earth can be classified within five distinct levels of magnetism. These classifications are based on the magnetic power of the elements of which it is composed, ranging from “not magnetic at all” to “magnetic on its own.”

Most materials, such as wood or most other non-metallic objects, tend to be diamagnetic — their magnetic fields are so weak that they have no attraction to other magnetic materials. The domains are varied in direction and end up canceling each other out.

Paramagnetic materials do not have a magnetic field on their own, but become attracted to magnetic objects, such as a screw or nail.

Ferromagnetic items are also not magnetic on their own, but can be turned into permanent magnets when they are magnetized or placed into a magnetic field. A permanent magnet produces its own magnetic field without an external stimulus.

Iron is a common ferromagnetic material that was often used for compasses.

Most permanent magnets are ferrimagnetic, where the domains are lined up in the same direction.

These are the most common natural earth metals.

The final classification for magnets is antiferromagnetism.

These materials may be magnetic at absolute zero but act like paramagnets at higher temperatures.

In shor t, if a material is not metal, it is diamagnetic. If it is attracted to magnets but is not a magnet itself, it is a paramagnet, while magnets can be ferro- or ferrimagnetic.

Large global population needs, benefits from GMOs OPEN SEASON CHRIS RONEY

L

ast month, Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead announced Scotland’s intent to prohibit the growth of genetically modified (GM) crops, in favor of preserving the nation’s “clean and green” standing. The move to issue a formal ban has ruffled feathers since, coming under heavy fire by the nation’s business sector and scientists alike. Others, with Monsanto fresh in their minds, have come out in support of the ban.

Here’s the fact of the matter: Monsanto’s scare tactics leave small-scale farmers shaking in their boots. Not only are their patents unethical, but their enforcement of these patents onto small-scale farmers borders on monopolization. Monsanto’s firm grasp on the nation’s food supply should certainly be a cause for concern. Just Saturday, California’s Environmental Protection Agency listed glyphosate — a key ingredient in Monsanto’s best-selling commercial weed killer, Roundup — as carcinogenic. Each of these points are emblematic of an admittedly broken state of U.S. food production and distribution, and moreso, telling of the global commodification of agriculture. But the onus shouldn’t fall on GMOs. Transgenic crops have time again been deemed safe for human consumption, despite their oft-tarnished reputation and lowly ap-

proval ratings. Those in favor of genetically modified crops cite their proven environmental benefits in practice, like lessening the necessity for pesticide use. Ben Miflin, a senior fellow at Rothamsted Research, argues that dissension toward genetically modified crops only spurs from the “intrinsic dislike of such powerful manipulation of genetics.”

Regardless, Scotland has made its stance crystal clear.

“There is no evidence of significant demand for GM products by Scottish consumers, and I am concerned that allowing

competitive with GM crops? Andrew McCornick, vice-president of The National Farmers Union of Scotland (NFUS), sees the GM crop ban as a move that could usher in less competitive markets, driving a fragile, local industry into the ground. “There is going to be one side of the Border in England where they may adopt biotechnology, but just across the river, Tweed farmers are not going to be allowed to. How are these farmers going to be capable of competing in the same market?”

“If anything, they (GMOs) are a vital asset in an environment of gross population upticks and dire food shortages. GMO technology can create more nutritious crops, combat disease and generally improve the quality of our food supply.”

GM crops to be grown in Scotland would damage our clean and green brand, thereby gambling with the future of our £14 billion food and drink sector,” Lochhead wrote in an official press statement. “Scottish food and drink is valued at home and abroad for its natural, high quality, which often attracts a premium price, and I have heard directly from food and drink producers in other countries that are ditching GM because of a consumer backlash.”

The question is, would there be an industry to gamble without remaining

Scotland’s small-scale farmers (at least, collectively) remain in favor of the Scottish government’s decision. But censure over Scotland’s now-stifled future in agricultural biotechnology has mounted from the scientific community. In conversation with IFL Science, Rothamsted Research’s Hue Jones said, “This is a sad day for science, and a sad day for Scotland. GM crops approved by the E.U. are safe for humans, animals and the environment and it’s a shame the Scottish Parliament think cultivation would harm their food and drink sector.”

In today’s day and age, GMOs should not be cause for alarm. If anything, they are a vital asset in an environment of gross population upticks and dire food shortages. GMO technology can create more nutritious crops, combat disease and generally improve the quality of our food supply. Is selective breeding not genetic modification by way of human intervention? Natural mutations in the DNA code structures of our crops happen ad nauseum, and aren’t without their fair share of blunders and missteps. It’s in our best interest to be our own editors, to dot the i’s and cross the t’s ourselves, to guide mutations in a positive direction. In fact, GM crops yield fewer mutations than their “natural” counterparts, not more.

That’s not to say that genetically modifying crops at the degree scientists do today shouldn’t be under a more watchful eye.

Some GMOs are harmless, but there’s little to speak to long-term effects. With global food supplies at stake, safety should absolutely be called into question with new regulation, if Roundup’s cancer-causing streak can teach us anything. This is the industry that sustains our livelihood, and that isn’t something to be taken lightly. But rather than taking the Luddite approach, it’s our responsibility to press lawmakers to pave the way for promising, forward-thinking science. The murky waters of the American agricultural complex require transparency, not digression.

ccording to a Dove market research project “only 4 percent of women around the world consider themselves beautiful.” So in 2004, Unilever, Dove’s parent company, launched the “Campaign for Real Beauty.” As written on its website, its mission is to be “an agent of change to educate and inspire girls on a wider definition of beauty and to make them feel more confident about themselves.” The campaign manifests itself in various promotional advertisements, workshops and various marketing campaigns.

Fast forward to this year’s lineup of women’s empowerment advertisements, such as Cover Girl’s #GIRLSCAN campaign, Always’ #LIKEAGIRL — both companies owned by multinational corporation Proctor & Gamble — and Dove’s #ChooseBeautiful Campaign.

Empowerment advertisements are on the rise and selling.

With seemingly realistic videos of heart-warming and uplifting stories of selflove, body positivity, gay marriage and other social issues, these companies want to make sure that anyone who owns any kind of video streaming device is a “consciousnessly-raised” individual.

However, by focusing its marketing strategy on a particular set of women’s issues, a common thread seems to appear in these empowerment messages. With or without intention, these brands present a reality where women have it all. With the

assumption that the civil rights and feminist movements’ accomplishments for structural equality — such as equal opportunity and women’s suffrage — made women the privileged subjects of a new meritocracy, but are still stuck in their post-feminist, Lena Dunham dilemmas. In a post-feminist state that promotes “female individualism” — the responsibility as well as the blame on women — Sheryl Sandberg would agree, women just need to “lean in.” But if you’re a queer, trans*, low-income, person of color, well, this advice doesn’t apply to you.

at gender equality, because talking beyond that point would blow their multi-billion dollar cover. As the players who capitalize on a neoliberal slave ship, this time, no slaves are taken in, but instead, the corporations would travel in the form of corporate labor tourism, exploiting black and brown bodies in the Global South and island hopping from one country to another while dodging labor unions and human rights laws. It is a sick cycle of rich folks networking across seas and low-income families who have no choice, but to buy cheap products made on the backs

“When these corporations talk about feminism, they’re talking about Taylor Swift and her ‘Bad Blood’ crew’s feminism. When they talk about feminism, they’re not going to talk about a beauty industry comprised of mostly poor women laborers.” #ChooseBeautiful and buy a Dove product for a good conscience. With a series of global advertisement campaigns to be seemingly counter culture compared to the beauty industry’s racist, colorist and fat-phobic standards, buying their soap makes a great feminist accessory with a side of animal testing, human rights violations and oppressive regimes. However, ignoring the fact that Dove’s sibling company, Axe, a controversial personal care brand targeted toward men, continuously promote their product using sexist advertisements on a backdrop of women as savage animals going bananas for that manly musk.

When multinational corporations want to be socially conscious, the conversation ends

of cheap laborers. Disenfranchised folks do not have the means to monetarily entice the wolves of multinational corporations.

What if Dove’s marketing team meant well with their advertisement and actually thought that images and ideas alone are enough to create change? It is because these corporations are infested with privileged subjects, with a lack of understanding of the intersection oppression or marginalized communities who ignore that race, class and gender exist within the standards of white heteronormative capitalist supremacy. When these corporations talk about feminism, they’re talking about Taylor Swift and her “Bad Blood” crew’s feminism.

When they talk about feminism, they’re not

going to talk about a beauty industry comprised of mostly poor women laborers. So how can one even give a damn about their physical appearance when they’re living day to day, worrying about paying rent and feeding their families? There is no pretty advertisement for these issues, no news reports, cover story or celebrity-endorsed video, because it’s too common and the rich folks are too comfortable in their exclusive oasis.

I don’t expect the “one percent” to start the revolution, because the revolution has and always have risen from the bottom up.

People are speaking up, fighting back and saying that we do not live-single issue lives.

But in my twisted version of the “Boy Who Cried Wolf,” it’s instead the marginalized communities and identities who continuously suffer and cry out against the “Wolves of Wall Street,” but are continuously ignored by communities and individuals who are too colonized to analyze that corporations, such as Proctor & Gamble and Unilever, own brands that market opposing ideologies. This equates to corporations that lack integrity and merely co-opt feminism for capitalist means.

Dove, what happened to being “an agent of change?” How do you use the same words that liberate, empower atnd mobilize struggling communities, while still riding on their backs and paying meager lip-service?

STOPS Air raid gauges Knights for 478 passing yards using 10 different receivers in win CONTINUED FROM BACK

In his first career start, sophomore quarterback Chris Laviano completed 23-of-29 passes for 204 yards and one touchdown.

YANGENG LIN / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

SHORT Rutgers falters down stretch, commits 11 penalties for 100 yards in 37-34 defeat CONTINUED FROM BACK As much as Chris Laviano initially struggled to sustain drives on offense, the sophomore quarterback eventually eased his way into enough of a rhythm to give Rutgers more than enough chances to take a contest that Washington State (1-1) was virtually begging the Knights to take.

In his first career start, Laviano completed 23-of-29 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown to sophomore tight end Matt Flanagan on a play-action pass from one yard out of the end zone on the first play of the fourth quarter.

But for the Glen Head, New York, native, his earlier mistakes came back to haunt him.

When he was flushed out of the pocket by the Cougars’ pass rush, Laviano looked clueless at times.

His interception — and first incompletion after starting 5-for-5 — in the first quarter came on a sidelines heave that landed in the hands of Mar Pippins at the Rutgers 36-yard line. That led to a field goal to put Washington State up, 10-0, early in the second quarter.

Then, rolling out to his right, Laviano’s attempt to throw the ball out of bounds failed when he lost his grip and fumbled at the Cougars’ 36yard line.

Washington State made the most of that mishap, too, when Luke Falk found Keith Harrington on a five-yard swing pass out of the backfield moments later to put the Cougars up, 20-6, with 8:55 to go in the third quarter.

“We can’t make as many turnovers, as I did, to win the game,” Laviano said. “So, we need to get those things corrected and move on to the next week and the next game.”

Then Grant took the game into his own hands. On the ensuing kickoff, the Trilby, Florida, native tied his career-long of 100 yards on a return where he danced his way through the Cougars’ kickoff team and tightroped his way down the sidelines to bring the crowd back into it.

Then he did it again.

After Falk’s 23-yard touchdown pass on a jump ball to Gabe Marks gave the Cougars a 30-27 advantage with 9:31 to go in the fourth quarter, Grant managed to one-up his first return.

After the Knights came together to force an enormous three-and-out with no timeouts left, Washington State dared to kick it to Grant.

And as much as the Cougars’ gunners won the coverage battle in

order to get within yards of him as the end-over-end kick fell into his breadbasket, Grant elected not to call a fair catch.

Instead, he spun a defender out of his shoes and snaked his way around the kicking team to somehow find the end zone on an electrifying 55-yard punt return to give Rutgers the 34-30 lead right back with 1:31 to go in the ballgame.

Grant, who set the Knights’ single-game program record with 339 all-purpose yards, didn’t even know how to describe it.

“It happens so quick. I can’t even explain it to you,” Grant said.

“I just react to it, so it’s all about reaction-wise. I make that one player miss and then it’s just out of the gates from there.”

Racking up five catches for 65 yards and taking a jet sweep for 21 yards on the ground, Grant’s production didn’t stop there. Grant admitted that the career day would still be enjoyable despite suffering what he described as a heartbreaking loss.

“Yeah, because I played my part.

I played my heart out,” he said. “But at the end, you know, it all depends on the team and we didn’t come out with the win.”

Up four, the Cougars had no option other than to get into the end zone. When sophomore defensive end Kemoko Turay jumped offside on a 4th and 10 from the Rutgers 43-yard line, Falk made the Knights pay.

On a much more manageable 4th and 5 from the 38-yard line, Falk hit Robert Lewis over the middle for a 12-yard gain to keep the drive alive.

Moments later, even after Harrington’s circus touchdown looked like it might have won the game, further review revealed that the Washington State running back stepped out of bounds back at the 21-yard line.

But as many second chances Rutgers received, the team still couldn’t manage to get out of its own way. And with 13 ticks left, Falk pierced the Knights’ armor with a dagger eight-yard floater in the back of the end zone to River Cracaft to seal the ballgame.

“There’s always going to be emotional swings in a close football game and you have to be able to refocus and do your job,” Flood said. “It’s one of the things as we coach players through their careers that we try to emphasize.”

For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow @GarrettStepien and @ TargumSports on Twitter.

It appeared for a moment that Rutgers would withstand the onslaught after Keith Harrington caught an outlet pass and ran it in for a score, but a booth review revealed the Cougar running back had stepped out of bounds at the 21-yard line.

But moments later, Luke Falk found River Cracraft in the end zone and that was the game.

“As you can imagine, we’re disappointed as a program,” said head coach Kyle Flood in his opening statement. “(We) put ourselves in a place in the second half where we had opportunities to win the game and weren’t able to get it done.”

Junior free safety Anthony Cioffi reiterated Lewis’s remarks and said WSU didn’t present any new wrinkles on offense throughout the game or on the final drive.

“They weren’t doing anything crazy, nothing different,” Cioffi said. “It came down to us executing our assignments and alignments. It’s just the little things, the focus plays.” *** The Cougars’ high-powered offense boasts great play at the wide receiver position. But while the big numbers posted by junior wide receivers Gabe Marks (14 receptions, 146 yards, one touchdown) and River Cracraft (8 catches,121 yards, one touchdown), the backbreaking plays involved swing passes or screens out of the backfield.

Even when Rutgers seemed to have everyone covered, running backs Gerard Wicks and Keith Harrington would squirt out from

behind Washington State’s mammoth offensive line to turn what appeared to be stops by the Knights into pivotal first down gains.

Harrington’s five-yard touchdown with 8:55 to play in the third quarter gave the Cougars a 20-6 lead, a perfect example of a play Rutgers seemed to have stifled until a running back got open. Harrington finished the day with six receptions for 38 yards and a touchdown and his running mate, Wicks, finished with five catches for 41 yards out of the backfield.

“A game like that will either take you all the way to the top or bring you all the way to the bottom in a heartbeat,” Marks said. “You just have to learn to keep your emotions in check. You just have to focus on the next play and learn to not get caught up.” *** Rutgers’ potent rushing attack excelled for the second week in a row, chewing up 198 yards on the ground at an average of 5.4 yards per carry.

Sophomore Josh Hicks led the backfield with 16 carries for 91 yards, but maybe his biggest run of the game, an apparent touchdown, was called back due to a holding penalty.

“I thought we came out hard,” Hicks said. “We made plays, but we just came out short.”

During the very next play after the would-be touchdown, Hicks fumbled the ball away to the Cougars, and the Knights’ threat was over.

“It’s hard.” Hicks said of the turnaround. “I gotta do better ball handling and be careful with the ball. The player caught the ball with his helmet and that’s what caused it come out.”

Sophomore running back Robert Martin picked up 61 yards on nine rushes, including a 15-yard pickand-pop for a touchdown in the third quarter to put the Knights within eight at 20-12.

“I think we were able to run the ball pretty good,” Martin said. “Our offensive line did a great job blocking for us. We just didn’t get it done.”

When asked if he would prefer to carry the ball more, Martin was coy in his response.

“I would definitely like to carry the ball more, but I trust the coaches,” he said. “... But I feel as though every running back in that room can contribute to this team.”

Knights take second place at home EVAN BRUNO STAFF WRITER

The Rutgers men’s golf team capped off its opening tournament of the season Saturday afternoon.

The stormy weather did not reflect the results of the event. The Scarlet Knights picked up a second place finish at the Rutgers Invitational to tee off the fall portion of the 2015 season.

It marks the fourth consecutive season that the Knights have finished runners up at their home Invitational.

Towson won the tournament with an incredible minus 14,838 team total. The Tigers shot a first round 277, followed by a 283 in round two and a 278 on Saturday.

“We didn’t win. Hats off to Towson, they played awesome,” said head coach Rob Shutte. “They came in here, they have two lefties from New Jersey. This golf course suits lefties and they’re from New Jersey, they knew the course and that was huge for them.”

Shutte was evidently pleased with the way his team performed and competed.

“We left shots out there but we could absolutely hold our head high,” he said. “We beat a lot of other teams with good players. We saw some great things from everybody at different times, so overall a very successful week other than we’ve finished second four straight years now.”

Sophomores Matt Holuta and Toks Pedro stood above the rest

for Rutgers, piloting the team to a solid outing.

Holuta earned a top-10 finish with a tie for seventh place. The Indiana, Pennsylvania, native and Big Ten Men’s Golf Player to Watch selection shot a one under par with a score of 212. Holuta shot a pair of 71’s on Friday and a 70 in the third round.

Pedro, a fellow Big Ten Men’s Golf Player to Watch honoree, compiled a plus-two, 215 mark at the RU Invitational. He had a first round 72, a second round 70 and a third round 73 to earn a tie for 11th place in the standings.

“I think I played well overall,” Pedro said. “I had a few mistakes here and there and unfortunately didn’t finish ver y strong today but, you know, I’m proud of how I played over 54 holes. It’s a good sign for all of the tournaments ahead.”

Shutte is impressed by the high quality of play that Pedro and Holuta have demonstrated in Piscataway as second-year golfers.

“They’re ready to go as sophomores,” Shutte said. “They’re ready to go. Their demeanor, their poise — they look the part. Instead of their junior year, they’re ready to go their sophomore year, which is exciting for us.”

After missing more than nine months due to injury, senior Jonathan Chang completed his comeback and arrived on the Banks to compete with his teammates. Chang’s presence in the lineup is a huge boost for Rutgers. The Valencia, California,

native shot a round one 70, a second round 76 and a third round 73 in his first appearance this fall.

He had a 219 individual total and finished in a tie for 20th place in the standings.

“I think we played with a lot of heart,” Chang said. “Obviously, we can always look back and save some stokes here and there. But I think we had to really be prepared very well leading up to this tournament. Obviously, it rained so it almost kind of didn’t help us here and there. Results wise, I think we’re okay but obviously, we want to win. But coming from me, I try to keep the results out of my head and just stay in the process.”

Because Rutgers played host to this tournament, Shutte employed the use of a second team in order to get some of his younger players some collegiate golf experience.

“Well, it’s a great way to start the year because — I don’t want to say its practice, it’s a tournament — but yet to have everyone in there to start our year, it’s a way to ... compete and qualify against each other for the next tournament,” Shutte said.

Senior Louis Bodine put together an excellent outing while playing with the Rutgers second team. Bodine shot a 212 to pick up a tie for seventh in the individual standings.

The Flemington, New Jersey, native had a hole-in-one on Saturday’s play on hole 11.

Freshmen Matthew Mourin and Matthew Walsh got their first tastes of collegiate golf with the Rutgers B-Team last weekend.

“Great,” Shutte said on the performances of the two rookie golfers. “They, again, didn’t play up to what they wanted but they got their feet wet. I think they feel like they’re probably a lot more a part of the team having played that first event. They know what it’s like.

I mean, they haven’t been on the road yet but they know what it’s sort of like. They’re smiling right now so they’re kind of incorporated now with the team better.”

RU secures second consecutive victory KAYLEE POFAHL STAFF WRITER

It was a game for the record books.

The Rutgers field hockey team posted a season-high five goals against Villanova Friday afternoon at the Bauer Track and Field Complex, defeating the Wildcats by a final score of 5-2 and advancing to 4-1 this season.

Junior midfielder Alyssa Bull and senior forward Nicole Imbriaco tallied two goals apiece, with junior defender Sofia Walia’s one goal rounding out the Scarlet Knights’ offensive fire for the day.

After a messy 4-2 victory over Monmouth early last week, the Knights readjusted and revamped, to say the least.

“I’m really proud of the team for coming out and get a win against Villanova coming off of a battle against Monmouth on Wednesday,” said head coach Meredith Civico. “Scoring five goals today and four goals against Monmouth was just a really awesome feat by the team. We’ve been working a lot on committing numbers forward and creating offensive overloads and finishing in the circle. That’s been something we’ve been focusing on since last spring so to see it translating is awesome.”

After a strong start, Rutgers headed into halftime with a 2-0 lead thanks to a pair of goals from Bull and Imbriaco, with an assist from junior Rachel Yaney.

But they weren’t satisfied.

Imbriaco found the back to the cage again not even five minutes into the second half, pushing the Knights to a 3-0 lead. Although the Wildcats were able to answer with two goals of their own, Rutgers put its set pieces to action, tallying two more goals, both off penalty corner plays, to salt the game away.

The team leads the Big Ten with an average of four goals scored per game and 13 players now have at least one point on the season.

Feeding off of one another’s individual accomplishments, Rutgers continues to be propelled toward collective success. The results are both renowned and transparent.

A captain this year, Stever’s two assists against the Wildcats pushes her to a career-high three assists and 5 points on the season.

“From the first whistle at this game, we were just at them and I think the fact that we’re scoring five goals a game is a huge improvement from last year to this year,” Stever said.

Consistently maintaining their own game is a crucial factor contributing to successful outcomes for the Knights. Rutgers is proving something with every game it plays, gaining confidence in its own ability each time it steps on the field.

“I think that this game really just showed and verified that we can find a way to win,” Stever said. “Villanova played a very different style than we’re used to or the way that we like to play so I think we adjusted really well and stayed composed and played together as a team. It’s really just proving to ourselves that we can play that way despite what our opponent is doing.”

This was Bull’s second multipoint game of her career, with the first one dating back in 2012. The midfielder now has a career-high of three assists on the season.

Friday’s match up was also Imbriaco’s first multi-point game of her career and pushed her to a career-high with 12 points on the season. The Clark, New Jersey, native now has five goals on the season in just five games, already tying her career-high set last season through 19 total games.

“I think coming out being 4-1 right now is just awesome, it’s a great start and to have that 4-1 record right now going into our first Big Ten game is huge,” Imbriaco said. “We can’t let down whatsoever but I think it’s a great positive start and it’ll give us that energy and kind of motivation to keep this going.”

September 14, 2015 WOMEN’S SOCCER NO. 19 RUTGERS 2, NO. 20 CONNECTICUT 0

Defense records seventh straight shutout for home win MIKE O’SULLIVAN CORRESPONDENT

In its final non-conference matchup of the regular season, the No. 19 Rutgers women’s soccer team defeated No. 20 Connecticut, 2-0, at Yurcak Field in a historic victory.

In front of a crowd of 812, the 2015 Scarlet Knights became the first team in program histor y to start the season 7-0, an accomplishment made even more impressive when considering they have yet to allow a goal this season.

The team seems to be clicking on each part of the field and head coach Mike O’Neill is ecstatic with what he saw from his team against the previously unbeaten Huskies (6-1).

“We’re proud of everything we accomplish, from what we do in training to what we do in games and today, we were fortunate enough to make some history,” he said. “It’s special to be 7-0 and we have a special group here.”

Connecticut gave the Knights their biggest test yet, as Rutgers was outshot for the first time this season by a mark of 18-13.

But the decisive shots were in favor of Rutgers, as senior defender Erica Skroski scored her first goal of the season in the 12th minute on an assist from senior midfielder Samantha Valliant.

Skroski headed the ball in the near post off the corner kick from Valliant.

Erica Skroski added the Knights’ potent attack in their 2-0 win over Connecticut on Sunday. The senior defender had one goal in the matinee. LUO ZHENGCHEN / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / SEPTEMBER 2015 She was elated to have her first goal of the season come in such a pivotal win for the program.

“We came into the game knowing they were 6-0 and we were 6-0, so that definitely put a lot more energy into it, especially in front of our home crowd,” Skroski said. “We really came out prepared for this one and with a lot of energy … (7-0) is a great

accomplishment and we have all worked really hard to get to where we are now.”

More than any other game thus far, the Knights were challenged throughout by an aggressive Huskies attack.

In the 15th minute, senior defender Brianne Reed made an incredible diving stop off a rebound to send the ball flying the other

way after sophomore goalkeeper Casey Murphy had made a save.

Murphy followed it up with another crucial save in the 33rd minute on Connecticut’s best chance on a shot from forward Stephanie Ribiero and she finished with five saves on the day.

With another shutout, Rutgers has now logged 630 minutes of shutout soccer to start the season.

Keeping up the streak against a stout Connecticut team could catapult the Knights into even better play against more tough competition moving forward, O’Neill said.

“Every day you have to find a way to get better and playing against a team like UConn forced us to be the best that we could be today,” he said. “We’ll learn a lot from that because we’ll pay close attention from today’s video against a quality team like this. …

It will only help us to look at the good and bad things from today as we go forward.”

Rutgers got some insurance in the 69th minute when sophomore forward Colby Ciarrocca scored her second goal of the season.

She tapped the ball in the center box after being assisted by junior forward Jenna Seddon, getting the ball by Connecticut goalie Emily Armstrong.

For Ciarrocca, a transfer after playing at Vanderbilt last year, a win like this is significant because she realizes how much it means to her new teammates.

“It’s awesome to be a part of the first 7-0 team at Rutgers and I just love the team dynamic we have,” she said. “Everyone here talks about how this is the closest this group has ever been and I can definitely see it by how we are playing on the field. It’s a cool moment for us.”

Rutgers loses first conference match in heartbreaker BRIAN FONSECA STAFF WRITER

In the game of soccer, quality is more important than quantity.

Dominating possession and dictating the tempo of a match does not yield success if a team is unable to put the ball in the back of the net.

The Rutgers men’s soccer team learned that lesson the hard way last Friday night against Wisconsin.

With the clock winding down in the second period of extra time at Yurcak Field, Wisconsin goalkeeper Adrian Remeniuk collected a shot for his 10th save on the evening and cleared the ball to midfield.

As the seconds ticked away on what appeared to be headed for a draw, Tom Barlow controlled the clearance at midfield and found sophomore Christopher Mueller streaking through the middle of the pitch for the visitors.

Receiving the pass from Barlow, Mueller struck a shot past goalkeeper David Greczek that hit the left post, then the crossbar and finally bounced into the Scarlet Knights’ goal as the buzzer sounded to signal the match’s end.

The 895 fans in attendance held their breath in hopes that the goal would be invalidated as the officials watched a replay to ensure the ball was completely inside the goal before time expired. The hope was short-lived as Mueller’s goal was upheld shortly after.

One year after suffering a golden goal loss at home to the Knights, the Badgers earned their revenge at Yurcak with a 1-0 win.

Head coach Dan Donigan put his reaction to the hectic end to his team’s first Big Ten Conference game of the season into few words.

“It’s a heartbreaker,” Donigan said. “That one stabs you in the heart.”

Rutgers (2-2) outshot Wisconsin (1-4), 27-12, in overall shots and 10-2 in shots on goal, looking like the more dangerous team for most of the night. But it left the pitch with its second consecutive loss and its first ever loss to the Badgers.

Senior midfielder Mitchell Taintor led the team with eight shots.

The Storrs, Connecticut, native said his teammates’ ability to find him in space throughout the match allowed him to be as aggressive as he was.

“I was just getting balls in good spots and my teammates were looking for me and were able to set me up nicely and give me a lot of room to work with,” Taintor said. “Once I got into groove and once I got the ball, things were starting to open up well for me and become a little easier to get into the offensive third.”

Regardless of the result, Greczek is proud of his team’s performance and felt the final score doesn’t do justice to what was produced throughout the match.

“At the end of the day, I’m just happy, proud of my boys. We played the best (110) minutes since my freshman year against Penn State,” the junior said. “We dominated the game and I’m just proud how hard they worked. That goal was unfortunate but everyone has their head up in the locker room and we just want to move forward and have this be the last time we have this feeling.”

Donigan shares the pride felt by his goalkeeper for his team’s performance, but also recognizes the one thing missing on the offensive end.

“I’ll tell you what, I’m proud of the way they played.” Donigan said. “I thought there were very good portions of the game where we had them on their back foot and we were going at them and I thought it was just going to be a matter of time. But … (we were missing) that final touch, that final play, that final execution.”

The Knights’ head coach understands that sometimes a team gets the breaks and sometimes it will come up a touch or two short.

“But that’s the game,” he said.

“The game sometimes can be very cruel and tonight, it wasn’t very good to us. We deserved much more than that.”

With JP Correa returning from injury, Donigan had a lot of options to work with in his offense.

After a week of preparation, the sixth-year head coach elected to keep Correa in his spot on the wings and put freshman

Brian Hawkins in midfield for the first time at Yurcak. While the formation didn’t reap immediate rewards, Hawkins did not disappoint.

“Good,” Donigan said of Hawkins’s performance. “I think it’s probably his most effective position. He’s ver y good in those holes and in those pockets and I think he can combine well with Jason and he can run off guys.

He’s got that explosive speed coming out of the midfield spot so I like him in there.”

Two defeats in two matches can bring down the morale of a team, but Donigan said the strong show-

ing from the Knights last Friday night should be recognized and used as fuel moving forward.

“We get ready to go on the road against Monmouth,” Donigan said. “Get ourselves healthy, maintenance the mindset of our guys and hope they feel good about themselves cause they should, in my opinion. I thought we played very well for good portions of that match and this is not the result we deserved tonight. Simple as that.”

As a result of spotty defense, careless penalties and sloppy turnovers, Rutgers fell to Washington State, 37-34, Saturday at High Point Solutions Stadium.

Rutgers (1-1) committed 11 penalties for 100 yards — most of which came during the game’s final stretch late in the fourth quarter. That, combined with three turnovers, is a recipe that head coach Kyle Flood knows won’t win football games.

“It’s disappointing. The players who got called for those penalties are experienced guys,” Flood said. “… But I think the turnovers, to me, are an even bigger factor. Now, you get penalties that take away touchdowns and that’s a huge, huge impact on the game but the turnovers to me are the first place I look.”
