Rutgers issues apology for fan conduct at game SABRINA SZTEINBAUM ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
“Regrettable actions” at the first Big Ten football game became the subject of Athletic Director Julie Hermann’s apology that was issued yesterday afternoon. She named the signage and T-shir ts donned by a “handful” of Rutgers fans, and said these things were not in line with the good, competitive spirit that should have taken place. Hermann said in her statement that she apologized to Penn State’s Athletic Director Sandy Barbour, and she extended that apology to the Penn State fans and Rutgers fans that did not par ticipate in the “classless display.” University President Rober t Barchi joined Hermann in apologizing by signing a letter addressed to Penn State President Eric Barron for the behavior of fans, also naming the signage and T-shir ts that made light of the 2011 Jerr y Sandusky sex abuse scandal.
“Frankly, the behavior of this small group of fans was abhorrent to me personally, and runs counter to the values we hold deeply here at Rutgers,” Barchi said in his letter to Barron, where he expressed his “deepest regrets.” According to an ar ticle published yesterday in The Daily Targum, Rutgers fans created a banner featuring a replacement of Penn State’s Nittany Lion with a sexually explicit image of a child and a man. “Beat Ped State” T-shir ts added to the Penn State paraphernalia seen on Rutgers fans at Saturday’s game. Hermann said in her statement that the two inappropriate Facebook pictures were immediately removed when she was aler ted about their content, although school spokesperson Tom Luicci refuted the repor t by saying the photo galler y never appeared on Twitter, as repor ted in an nj.com ar ticle. On Saturday, Penn State saw a 13-10 victor y against Rutgers at the High Point Solutions Stadium on Busch campus.

Fraternity raises funds to honor lost brother
Police charge U. students for setting bed sheet on fire

Two Rutgers students got a little too fired up for the start of the semester last Friday on Easton Avenue. Police charged Carlos Gasperi, 29, and Daniel Guillem, 25, with aggravated arson for allegedly lighting a bed sheet on fire while it was hung from the second-floor windows of 75 Easton Ave. in the early morning. Gasperi, a Somerset resident and Guillem, a New Brunswick resident, led police on a short foot chase before being caught behind the building, according to a press release from Capt. J.T. Miller. Gasperi was charged with aggravated arson and Guillem was charged with aggravated arson and resisting arrest. Guillem is free on $35,000 bail, while Gasperi is in Middlesex County jail in lieu of $35,000 bail, according to nj.com. Officers were able to extinguish the fire with minimal damage to the building, which is occupied mostly by Rutgers students. Residents were present in the adjacent apartment buildings during the incident, but no injuries were reported.

Last spring, ever y brother of Theta Chi shaved his head in an act of solidarity for Nexhmi Klobucista, a member who was losing his hair due to cancer treatment. Klobucista, who was studying exercise science in the School of Arts and Sciences and planned to go into physical therapy, died Aug. 12 after six months of battling testicular cancer.
Recently, the brothers of Theta Chi raised $7,430 through multiple cancer-awareness fundraisers to help alleviate the burden of funeral expenses on his family and possibly set up a foundation in his name. They are currently giving Klobucista’s family their space, waiting for them to decide how they would like to use the money.

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT The Daily Targum promptly corrects all errors of substance. If you have a comment or question about the fairness or accuracy of a story, send an email to eic@dailytargum.com.
“Targum” is an Aramaic term for “interpretation.” The name for the University’s daily paper came to be after one of its founding members heard the term during a lecture by then-Rutgers President William H. Campbell. On Jan. 29, 1869, more than 140 years ago, the Targum — then a monthly publication, began to chronicle Rutgers history and has become a fixture in University tradition. The Targum began publishing daily in 1956 and gained independence from the University in 1980. RECOGNITION For years, the Targum has been among the most prestigious newspapers in the country. Last year, these awards included placing first in the Associated Collegiate Press National College Newspaper Convention Best of Show award category for four-year daily newspapers.

Jewish a cappella group describes experiences as rewarding JUAN SACASA CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Although “Kol Halayla” is Hebrew for “the voice of the night,” the coed Rutgers a cappella group prefers to refer to themselves as the “voice of the Knight,” according to their website. The foremost Jewish a cappella group at Rutgers was founded nearly 20 years ago, said Jonathan Sanders, co-business manager of Kol Halayla. Originally known as Koleinu, Kol Halayla was the first coed a cappella group to establish itself at the University. “We started out like any other a cappella group,” said Sanders, a Rutgers Business School senior. “By around 1995, our group evolved to its current form, and our members have been proudly performing ever since.” Sanders said the type of music they enlist into their repertoire ranges from traditional Hebrew and Israeli to contemporar y pop and classic rock. As the business manager, Sanders is accountable for booking performances and negotiating prices. He stated that costs var y from $300 to $800. All proceeds are allocated to funding future concerts and maintaining equipment. “It can be stressful,” he said. “But I love being a part of Kol Halayla. Ever yone works incredibly hard and seeing how successful we’ve been motivates each of our members to aspire for even greater.”
The group, which currently is comprised of 13 singers, abides by no religious criterion for selecting members Kol Halayla, treasurer Elliot Linder said. “When someone auditions, that individual is judged solely on their singing abilities,” said Linder, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore. Kol Halayla has been involved in numerous on-campus and of f-campus events, most prominently at last year’s Rutgers University Dance Marathon, as well as at an event in

Orangeburg, New York, where they performed last year. This year, he said the group’s itinerar y includes multiple local and out-of-state events. By next week, Kol Halayla is set to perform at the East Brunswick Jewish Center. Kol Halayla holds two concerts each semester on campus — one in the winter and one in the spring, Sanders said. The winter concert is planned for November 22, while the spring concert is April 18.
The spring concert, which is held during the weekend and referred to as “Shabbat a Cappella,” is a time when Kol Halayla invites two or three other Jewish a cappella groups from various campuses across the countr y. The event, which they have organized for the past 18 years, is an opportunity to engage and learn from one another. Anna Kr ymchanskaya, president of Kol Halayla, said the group averages approximately seven to eight shows a year in addition to other events they hold at Rutgers. “It can be tiring work,” Kr ymchanskaya said. “But to get through it, you need to have a love for music.” She said it was her love of music that attracted her to the organization. In her first year at Rutgers, she attended a musical event held by Kol Halayla with a friend and was impressed by the group’s performance. Inspired by the music, Kr ymchanskaya auditioned, was accepted and then eventually became elected to become the treasurer of the organization. Kr ymchanskaya said that she feels privileged to be a part of Kol Halayla and considers each member an extension of her own family. Although she said that her experiences and histor y with the organization have been nothing but positive, the position carries multiple responsibilities. Kol Halayla spends a significant portion of their time traveling and performing.

Krymchanskaya also described their means of communicating their events with the entire student population. She stated that through utilizing flyers and posting announcements on the email listserv, as well as participating at the annual Student Involvement Fair, their group is able to reach out to the Rutgers community. Linder stressed that Kol Halayla places a tremendous emphasis on
inclusiveness and stated it was the tolerant atmosphere that allowed him to overcome stage fright. “The entire group is ver y supportive, and ever yone is always willing to provide constructive criticism,” he said. Linder said that while auditioning might seem “ner ve-wracking,” Kol Halayla is nonetheless a rewarding and enriching experience.

ADVICE Harris says professionals look at candidates’ profiles and make snap judgements CONTINUED FROM FRONT
to study law because that was a common career choice for black students. But during a summer program on Wall Street, she realized what she really wanted was to call the shots as a businesswoman. The career route allowed her to apply her economics background while defying traditional gender and race norms in the business world. As a student, she embraced the concept of meritocracy. But her career did not follow that formula. More things are part of success beyond being smart and working hard, she said. Understanding the nuances, the culture and the perception of a worker could change whether that person gets a bonus, a good assignment or a promotion. At the same time, she promoted maintaining at least some authenticity. “If you are comfortable in your own skin … you will have no
problem building relationships,” she said. Another option is to train people and get them to think differently about their coworkers, even in a different room. When she discovered her coworkers did not consider her analytical enough, she would go to meetings and ask questions about numbers. In a job application and interview, the key to success is to understand what the company is “buying” and appear consistent with those demands. If their values are inconsistent with the applicant, it is better to walk away, even in this difficult job market. “Every firm that’s laying off is also hiring,” Harris said. Each person is the only one responsible for his or her own career. Each worker has to take the responsibility of asking for a promotion or for certain experiences. Occasionally, employees have to take risks to get ahead. “Fear has no place in your success equation. Anytime you ap-
proach something with fear, you will underpenetrate that subject,” she said. She has faced missteps and criticism before. Harris related the story of a time when her colleague said she had “no presence.” “Even though I didn’t agree with it, ladies, you still must respond,” she said.
“[Making a mistake] doesn’t mean you’re not suited to that career or that position.” KAREN ALEXANDER Assistant Dean in the Office of Junior and Senior Programs
She reminded herself that she could be wrong, so she decided to allow them to hire her a coach. The coach concluded that Harris intimidated people. He suggested she use different language during her interactions. Within the month, she had changed her words and calmed her relationships. She described how she managed to self-record and distribute an album of Christmas music, her first work as a singer, while staying at her job at Morgan Stanley.
As a first-time artist, she managed to find someone with a recording studio and then used her connections at Morgan Stanley to meet an executive at Time Warner, the owner of Warner Music. “The network works, but you must exercise your power and ask,” she said. She thinks powerful leaders understand leverage. In that position, people working under them should feel motivated to give their best. Similarly, no one should be confused about what is expected of him or her. Good leaders give specific goals and help motivate their workers to achieve those goals. A great leader must have a diverse team, she said, not just in terms of race or gender but also in every sense of the word. Every industry in the world is competing around innovation, so a company looking for the right idea needs the most perspectives. “If you want to be the best leader, you need a lot of different people around that table,” she said. When asked how students now should change their career aspirations, she told them not to follow her path of working at the same place for decades. Instead, they should aim to have at least four or five. She advised them to start with a place that teaches solid skills.
EXPERTS Policastro says pounds pack on quickly when students consume only 100 extra calories per day CONTINUED FROM FRONT

The newsletter also debunks the myth that putting on seven pounds or more is the result of gorging on entire pizzas when most people are sleeping, although single-handedly eating eight slices of pizza within an hour will most certainly make its mark on the scale at some point. Instead, Policastro said, the pounds pack on quickly when students consume only 100 extra calories per day. Mindless munching while reading or solving problem sets for class is often the culprit of surprise weight gain, even if the munching is on healthy snacks such as carrots with hummus or fruit. “Calories are calories,” she said. When going to the dining hall, she urged students to diversify their plate as much as possible by selecting an appropriate amount of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. But when the resolve to consistently eat healthy falters slightly, exercise should accompany it. Physical activity does not have to mean an outfit primarily made out of spandex and a hour on the treadmill — moving can be about getting off one stop early on the bus, taking a brisk walk or run or joining a sports team. Anne Finetto, assistant director supervisor at Rutgers Recreation, said the Rutgers University Running Team is a chance for runners to regularly run in a group on a scenic route. Runners can also register for the annual “RU Muddy” run, “The Big Chill” and “The Color Run,” held in the fall, winter and spring, respectively. For students that enjoy running with a twist, what is coming in October may pique their interest.
Diane Bonanno, executive director of Rutgers Recreation, said interested students can sign up for the first “Raritan River Monster,” a two-person team triathlon event. One team member bikes, the other runs and both jump in a canoe and row to the finish. For more aquatically inclined students, Rutgers of fers a non-credit scuba diving course taught by a cer tified scuba diving instructor at the Sonny Werblin Recreation Center on Busch campus.

an equivalent scuba diving course outside of the University usually ranges from $400 to $500. Given that exercise has been proven to improve energy levels and decrease stress levels, two things most college students have either too little or too much of, it’s worth slightly crunching a schedule to allow a few minutes of motion. Regardless of whether students choose to move on land or water, in a team or on an individual level or on a casual or competitive level, Finetto said people — even the
She emphasized the new importance of keeping a neutral and professional online profile. Current young adults have a lot of pressure to expose themselves online and express their opinion. But corporations really do look at those profiles and make snap judgments, she said. Morgan Stanley has even rescinded full-time job offers in the past. Karen Alexander, assistant dean in the Office of Junior and Senior Year Programs, said students could use a lot of Harris’ advice, especially her discussion on maintaining authenticity and finding their own values and talents. She also enjoyed Harris’ thoughts on recovering from mistakes. “[Making a mistake] doesn’t mean you’re not suited to that career or that position,” she said. “Give yourself credit, and say, ‘next time I’ll do better.’” Yiru Wang, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, said Harris’ speech inspired her for both her future career and her current actions. A typically introverted person around strangers, she wants to learn to be more sociable around people. “I want to be more friendly not only with my friends, but in public,” she said.
busiest of students — should try to be physically active at least four days a week for 20 to 30 minutes. Although physical health is tremendously important, it’s also essential not to forget about mental and psychological health as well. Feeling anxious or depressed are two common emotional issues that commonly strike students between the ages of 18 and 25, said Jill Richards, director of Counseling, Alcohol (and other Drug Assistance Program) and Psychiatric Services. Anxiety and depression can be brought on by pressure to succeed academically, athletically or socially, or by bullying, harassment, job loss and financial troubles, among other problems. No matter the issue, Richards said CAPS is available to talk with students free of charge about their situations and lay out their options. She offered some general tips, like focusing on the positive, keeping realistic expectations, staying organized and talking to those who care, according to an informational newsletter she authored. Often, too many first-year students are over-stimulated in an entirely individual environment like college, according to the newsletter. Students then end up setting overly ambitious goals that they are not able to accomplish in the amount of time they planned. Students should realize that college is supposed to be more challenging than high school and that students may need to work harder, pay more attention and seek more help than they were accustomed to, according to the newsletter. If students are struggling with the transition process from high school to college, she said CAPS is always available, but faculty, staff and student groups are also trained to respond appropriately to personal troubles. “The normal developmental struggle is trying to make sense of who you’ve been, who you want to be and how you’re going to carve out a niche for yourself at Rutgers,” she said.

Decline in auto production drags down U.S. factory output WASHINGTON - U.S. manufacturing output fell for the first time in seven months in August, but the underlying trend remained consistent with a steadily expanding factory sector. That view was bolstered by other data yesterday showing factory activity in New York state jumped to its highest level in nearly five years in September. “The weakness in factory output in August is likely to be transitory,” said Millan Mulraine, deputy chief economist at TD Securities in New York. Factory production dropped 0.4 percent last month as motor vehicle production fell sharply after surging in July, the Federal Reserve said. The drop, which followed a gain of 0.7 percent in July, confounded economists’ expectations for a 0.3 percent rise. Excluding automobiles, manufacturing output gained 0.1 percent in August. So far in the third quarter, factory production is running at a 4.6 percent annual pace, a sign that manufacturing will continue to support economic growth. Motor vehicle output declined 7.6 percent last month after a 9.3 percent jump in July. Economists attributed the surge in July to difficulties adjusting the data for seasonal fluctuations after some automakers kept as-
sembly lines running instead of closing plants for the traditional summer retooling. With auto sales at a 8-1/2 year high, motor vehicle production is expected to rebound. In a separate report, the New York Federal Reserve Bank said its Empire State general business conditions index soared to 27.54 this month, the highest reading since October 2009, from 14.69 in August. A reading above zero indicates expansion in the region’s factor y activity. A gauge of new orders rose last month and inventories continued to shrink, keeping the balance between orders and inventories favorable. “If we can be persuaded to look though the volatility of the official data, it’s evident that the U.S. economy has continued to grow strongly in the third quarter,” said Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit in London. Third-quarter growth estimates range as high as a 3.5 percent annual pace. The economy expanded at a 4.2 percent in the second quarter. With the economic data, including retail sales and housing, continuing to be upbeat, analysts say that could result in a hawkish tilt in the Fed’s statement when policymakers conclude a two-day meeting on Wednesday.

The dollar was trading higher against the euro and the British
pound, while U.S. stocks were mixed. Prices for U.S. Treasury debt rose. Mining output increased 0.5 percent in August, while utilities production rebounded 1.0 percent. That helped to cushion the drag from manufacturing, leaving overall industrial pro-
duction falling only 0.1 percent in August. The amount of manufacturing capacity in use fell to 77.2 percent last month from 77.6 percent in July, while overall industrial capacity use hit a six-month low of 78.8 percent. — Reuters

Let’s not be dramatic about Rutgers fans COMMENTARY CORINA WHITE
I
f you ask any of my friends what I was like for the week before the Penn State-Rutgers game, they would surely tell you that I was a mess. I was constantly reading articles, making predictions or just yelling with excitement and ner ves. As a Penn State alumna, a huge football fan and a current Rutgers graduate student, I had a serious vested interest in this game. Not to mention that since it was announced that Rutgers would join the Big Ten Conference, I had been smack talking and tr ying to explain what a real football school is like. I really needed the Penn State team to back me up. But, to be honest, Penn State football has broken my heart before, and they’ll break it again in big games. What I was really and truly most ner vous about was the inevitable Sandusky, child molestation and “Ped State” jokes I was sure would be coming my way. And they did — but not as much as I was expecting, so thank you to all the Rutgers fans I encountered who welcomed me with a mere “You suck!” and a wave, or a “F--- You!” and a finger. Those things I can deal with and have dealt with at several other Big Ten schools where I’ve attended away games. Those kinds of statements go along with sports and drinking. It happens. I think it’s hard for non-Penn Staters to understand how hearing the name Sandusky kills our soul ever y time someone says
it. If you all think it’s bad that the scandal happened at Penn State, imagine how we feel. We’re horrified. That’s the place where we met our best friends, drank an innumerable number of cheap beers, ate pizza at 4 a.m. sitting on a stranger’s lawn, and, of course, went to class and were star students. That’s the place where we have our best memories. And when people cheapen the school and the community by letting the abhorrent actions and decisions of a few people define it, it kills us.
“I’m not going to let the actions of a few Rutgers fans define the entire school. ...Every school has a handful of classless fans that can take sports rivalry too far.” Now, I’ve seen several articles where people are saying that Rutgers fans are classless and they need to learn how to be “real” football fans. I disagree. I’m not going to let the actions of a few Rutgers fans define the entire school. To be honest, I think Penn State fans are being a little dramatic. We’ve taken years of criticism about how all we care about is football and how we don’t care about the victims at all. So when someone makes a joke, we immediately want to say, “You just made that joke so you’re a monster! You’re a horrible person who doesn’t care about the victims!” I’m not at all condoning
these jokes. I mean, after all, they hurt me as much as they hurt all the other PSU fans. But if we’re all honest with ourselves, we know that these inappropriate jokes, T-shirts and signs are likely used at almost ever y other school Penn State plays. That still doesn’t make it right, but let’s not call out Rutgers and pin it all on them when this is happening ever ywhere. Now looking at its other alleged actions: Should they have spit on people? Obviously not. But when I attended a Penn State-Michigan State game in East Lansing, Michigan, when I was 20 years old, I was walking into the stadium when an MSU student jumped on my back, took my hat off and threw it on the ground. Less than five minutes later, some 50-something year old men were screaming at me and my three female, 20-yearold roommates, telling us to “F--- off” and “Get the f--- out of our town.” Is this right? No. Should these things happen? It would be nice if they didn’t. But when people’s emotions are high for a big game and they’ve been tailgating all day, stuff like this happens. I don’t know if there is ever going to be a time when small incidents like that never occur. Ever y school has a handful of classless fans that can take sports rivalr y too far. I’ve seen it in Michigan, I’ve seen it in Ohio, and I may have even seen it at good old Penn State. So based on this weekend, I think Rutgers fit right in.

Racism must be battled on individual level COMMENTARY YVANNA SAINT-FORT
I
t was a Thursday evening, and I was on a train coming from New York City heading back to New Brunswick. This Thursday in par ticular was the 13th anniversar y of September 11. For me, the anniversar y of 9/11, Veterans Day and other patriotic days of remembrance always conjure up thoughts of what it really means to be an American. I often think about how American I actually feel amongst a sea of red, white and blue. Both my parents were born and raised in Haiti. Growing up, I struggled with self-identification and deciding whether I completely belonged to one nation or the other. Whenever I think about my sense of nationalism, I come to a dif ferent conclusion, but lately I have seen myself as a black American. While I was born and raised in America, I am also black and I hold many ties to the black community that cannot be described by fully characterizing myself as an American. As I was on the train, looking through the window, I saw something that made me question the latest description of my nationalism. If only for a few seconds, I laid eyes on what appeared to be a backyard. It was basically a cement slab with a chain link fence around it. On the cement were about two-dozen or so black men walking around wearing T-shir ts and shor ts. My first thought was, “Is that a jail?” Realizing the implications of what I had thought, I quickly backtracked. Even though I hadn’t said anything
aloud, the fact that “jail” was the first place that my mind went after seeing a group of seemingly idle black men is shameful. That split-second thought held great implications. Why did I think I saw a jail? Is it because I saw black men standing behind a chain link fence? Why couldn’t it have been a community center or a gym? Maybe someone had a tennis racquet or a basketball, and I just didn’t see it. On a train, from yards away, it was almost impossible to be sure of what I was looking at. It could have been anything,
“The way I and everyone else thinks about black males and what everyone does to combat or enhance these thoughts is what matters most.”
but the problem is that my instinct went to incarceration. As a black female, I scolded myself for having this thought. How could I automatically assume the worst about people of my own race? As a political science and journalism student, I was not surprised by where my mind went. I have been taught time and again to be media literate and analyze each and ever y situation, so much so that the habit is instinctual. The negative representation of black men across media platforms, coupled with the tangible and high incarceration rate of black males, explain
why my mind went where it did. The problem with my split-second thought and the thought processes of too many Americans is that we expect black males to fail. We expect to see them in jail or on the streets because that’s what we’ve been conditioned to see. When black men succeed, they’re seen as an exception to the rule, or as if they are, “not really black,” another issue entirely. The only way to combat these stereotypes, especially on an individual level, is to realize the fallacies within them. While the systematic conviction and incarceration of black males is a political issue rooted in decades of hatred and assumptions, there is no institutionalized hold on my thoughts. There is nothing and no one forcing me to think one way or another, a characteristic that many view as essential to the American way. Had I seen a diverse group of men or a diverse group of women I cannot say where my mind would have went. But what I did see and where my mind did go, is what society has taught me to see. I saw black men, and I assumed the worst. As a college student, sometimes I feel readymade to change the world, as if I can pick a cause and dedicate the rest of my life to making a change. Even if the societal representation of black males is not that cause that I pick, the way I and ever yone else thinks about black males and what ever yone does to combat or enhance these thoughts is what matters most.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Sea level science drives U. off-shore research projects Sea-level rise, driven in large part by climate change, threatens our state’s coastal communities and ecosystems. To provide context for understanding the changes our planet and our state is undergoing, I am one of a group of scientists at Rutgers that studies past sea-level changes, both globally and here in New Jersey. Our New Jersey sea-level research has been the subject of misleading attacks, as in Tom Brown’s Sept. 10 letter to the editor in The Daily Targum titled “Rutgers should not sacrifice environment for research projects.” My collaborator, Professor Gregory Mountain, has provided specific responses in “Criticism of University marine research project misinformed, unfounded.” Here, I provide the scientific impetus for our studies. We use two primar y tools. One is acoustic imaging of the ocean floor, which provides sonograms of rock layers (often called “seismic profiling” since it involves propagating sound waves). The sonograms reflect large-scale patterns in the way higher and lower sea levels laid down sediments in the past. The other is the collection of sediments by drilling and recovering cores that provide a histor y of past oceanic and coastal environmental changes.
“We undertake our research with great care for the marine environment…. [It] is intended to help understand the physical response of the Jersey shore to climate change.” We undertake our research with great care for the marine environment. Our acoustic imaging employs air guns, a tool used for decades to explore below the seafloor. Our expeditions include several independent observers who carefully watch for marine mammals and turtles — if any are in the area, we suspend operations until they depart. Over the past 24 years, our studies have included five seismic cruises and the coring of 17 onshore and 12 offshore sites. We have engaged students in this work through the signature course “Sea Change: The Rise and Fall of Sea Level and the Jersey Shore” and through research experiences. Through these activities, we have reconstructed sea level over the past 100 million years and leveraged knowledge of past changes to inform local projections of future sea-level changes. In our recent paper, we showed that sea-level rise in New Jersey over the last century was higher than in any century in over four millennia. We take especially strong exception to claims that our acoustic imaging (in an area known to contain no oil and gas) has anything to do with oil and gas exploration. To the contrary, our National Science Foundation-funded research is intended to help understand the physical response of the Jersey shore to climate change, one of the largest environmental challenges of our age.

NOVA
Pietrangelo played all game for Canada in Torneio Internacional Sao Paolo
Burton instills vote of confidence after seeing Nova practice Sunday night CONTINUED FROM BACK
CONTINUED FROM BACK where they’re going to end when their career is done — I’m excited to see that development.” Aside from her training with the Rutgers coaching staff, Pietrangelo credits the jump in offensive production to her experience playing for the Canadian national team in each offseason and the extra time she put in on the field. “That was a great experience,” she said of playing for the Canadian national team. “I think that really helped me mature as a player, so it made the transition into Rutgers a lot easier. I was used to being away from home and playing with older girls at that level. … It gave me a lot more experience that I was able to use here at Rutgers.” As one of the younger players on the national team’s roster, Pietrangelo used the experience as a learning process. She won a gold medal in Brazil at Torneio Internacional Cidade de Sao Paolo, playing all 90 minutes against the host countr y en route to the team’s first-place finish. But since playing her last minutes for Canada, Pietrangelo continued to work on her game and make the necessary improvements for her final year.
Senior forward Amy Pietrangelo said it was a great experience playing for the Canadian national team. FILE PHOTO / SEPTEMBER 2012
Senior backer Tori Leigh has been around Pietrangelo long enough to see the increase in drive and motivation her classmate now possesses. “Amy’s a great person and player,” Leigh said. “Amy puts a lot of extra work in, too. There will be days where Amy is out in the field by herself hitting some balls. Amy’s ver y dedicated [and] loves soccer, so I think she’s ver y deser ving of what she’s getting right now.” As a fellow senior and Pietrangelo’s teammate for four years now, Leigh can relate to the feeling of going through each play and game as if it may be the last. She praised Pietrangelo for her early success. “I commend her, and I’m really happy for her, especially
as a senior and as a teammate,” Leigh said. “I want to see my players do well, and I’m ver y happy with how successful she’s been.” But for Pietrangelo, the individual success is nothing but a bonus. “I just want to give my team my best. I think if I’m working my hardest and tr ying to be positive and make the team on the field better in the way I play, I can be an example for the girls,” Pietrangelo said. “Hopefully, they see me working just as hard. I just want to give the team my best. It’s all about them.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s soccer team, follow @TargumSpor ts on Twitter.
for us, No. 4. I know one of them was a good decision, bad location, so it’s a physical error,” Flood said. “Is it a concern? Yeah, absolutely it’s a concern. You don’t win a lot of games if you turn it over five times.” The Scarlet Knights still have full confidence in Nova and his ability to play quarterback effectively moving for ward. Senior fullback Michael Bur ton is one of those who believe in Nova’s poise. “I’m ver y confident in Gar y. He had a great practice last night, and I know he’s looked at the film and made the corrections just like ever yone else has,” Bur ton said. “He’s ready to move for ward, just like the rest of the team, and get ready to play Navy.” Junior wide receiver Leonte Carroo has known Nova longer than anyone else on the team, dating back to playing high school football at Don Bosco (New Jersey) Prep. When Nova per forms poorly in a game, Carroo said it is best to give the quar terback a pat on the back, some words of encouragement and then they can move on. But since Carroo has known Nova, the senior has matured
in the way he handles coming of f a poor game. “Now that Gar y is a senior and he is our captain, [he is] mature about the situation. He knows we have a game next week, and that is all he can focus on,” Carroo said. “He doesn’t focus on what the media is saying or what people think of him. He’s just focused on us right now as a team and what he can do to get better to help us.” Although much of the student body is hard on Nova, still calling him Gar y ‘Turn’ Nova, and the media is still hounding him about his decision-making, perhaps no one is harder on Nova than himself. After holding himself accountable for the errant throws, he acknowledged he has to do better. “I’m not one for sympathy nor do I tr y to reach out to anyone to help me because I know, at the end of the day, it’s all on me,” Nova said. “I have to be the one to turn it around. People have been great suppor ting me. Guys on the team, coach Flood and coach Friedgen have all been suppor tive. But, I just have to keep moving for ward.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow @TylerKaralewich and @TargumSports on Twitter.

CONFIDENCE RU’s offense is averaging 20 or more shots in its last two games with four goals CONTINUED FROM BACK become a NCAA tournament regular in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference and entered the season as its conference’s preseason favorite. The Hawks also ranked 25th in the nation in goals allowed last season and saw the return of MAAC defender of the year Matt Jeffer y. Facing a stout defense, the Knights’ attack will need its of fensive players to be clinical in the final third, which makes
September 16, 2014 the result against the Badgers so significant. Rutgers had only two players register goals entering that match, before Correa and junior midfielder Rayon Gibbs added their names to the score sheet. Averaging 20 or more shots the last two games, the Knights’ attack is finally star ting to hit its stride, said Gibbs, who scored a superb individual goal against Wisconsin. “[The goal] definitely boosts my confidence,” Gibbs said. “I was honestly kind of shocked [with] just the fact that it’s my left foot, and I was really impressed with myself because I’ve been working on it a lot. I think we are doing ver y well together — we’ve just been practicing on combinations up top, and I think it’s paying of f.”
Junior midfielder and junior college transfer Rayon Gibbs scored his first goal in a Rutgers uniform against the Badgers. DENNIS ZURAW / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
While Rutgers’ attack may be flourishing, the defense continues to be suspect, allowing 30 shots in the past two games. The defense has also conceded at least once in Rutgers’ past four games, despite the phenomenal form of sophomore goalkeeper David Greczek. Though Monmouth’s defense is strong, UC Santa Barbara transfer Dom Sarle gives the Hawks plenty of bite in the attack, scoring three goals and adding an assist in four games. With junior defender Drew Morgan questionable for tonight’s game with a head injur y, head coach Dan Donigan said limiting chances is something he’s addressed with the team. “We have to have better star ting positions when we’re in possession to make sure we don’t give them time or space on their counter attack or their breakout,” Donigan said. “I just thought we gave Wisconsin too many legitimate opportunities. David had to make too many great saves, point-blank saves, and I think we’re better than that.” Improving their home record is also somewhat of a concern for the Knights. Rutgers finished 4-5-1 at home last season, compared to 6-1-0 in 2012. Bruccoleri feels it’s impor tant to get back to defending the home field, with the Knights having lost their last two games at home. “It’s definitely big,” Bruccoleri said. “Since I’ve been here for four years, we’ve had a pretty good record at home. We always like to win at home for our school, for our home crowd, so it’s impor tant for us.” For updates on the Rutgers men’s soccer team, follow @SeanStewartRU and @TargumSports on Twitter.
MEN’S SOCCER

Forward’s goals leads to conference honor SEAN STEWART CORRESPONDENT
Following a two-goal performance on the road Friday against Wisconsin in the Rutgers men’s soccer team’s Big Ten debut, junior forward J.P. Correa is already collecting some accolades. The Montville, New Jersey, native was named the Big Ten Men’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week yesterday for his form against the Badgers, which included two goals and the game-winning golden goal in overtime to seal a 3-2 victory. “He did well, I mean J.P. [Correa] is special, he can make a lot of things happen in the final third of the field, and he’s got some good guys up there to help him,” head coach Dan Donigan said of Correa’s performance in a post-match inter view with Big Ten Network. “…Those guys did a good job to shoulder a lot of the attack.”
Correa has had a rough couple seasons for the Knights after what was a stellar freshman campaign where he led the team with six goals and five assists. The forward scored only one goal the following two seasons combined with injuries plaguing his abilities on the field. Now fully healthy, confident and playing in his preferred position, the forward has started the new season strong. Five games in, Correa is second on the team with five points — only two points behind freshman forward Jason Wright, who leads Rutgers with three goals. Correa’s two goals also made him the second Knight this season to end the match with a multiple-goal game to give him nine goals and seven assists thus far in his Rutgers career.

September 16, 2014 KNIGHT NOTEBOOK TRANSFER SAFETY BEGINS PRACTICING WITH SCOUT TEAM
Senior fullback Michael Burton said the Knights need to be more consistent with fundamentals in the run game to avoid negative rushes. Since the WSU game, RU is averaging only 3.0 yards per carry on the ground. The Knights’ lack of consistent running against Penn State led to unsustained drives. TIAN LI / ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR

That kept Rutfrom a 13-10 loss Saturday gers from being able to sustain night to Penn State that head drives at critical junctures. Since averaging 5 yards per coach Kyle Flood called “devastating,” the Rutgers football carr y on 43 attempts against team had already moved on by Washington State, the Knights have lagged in that department Monday morning.

Flood remains noncommittal on keeping the sophomore on offense, who worked reps at cornerback the first two weeks before switching to running back, where Goodwin played as a true freshman. “I don’t know that anything is permanent beyond a onegame season,” Flood said. “Right now everything we’re doing in our planning from depth chart to game plan is all based on trying to

The former four-star recruit from Wayne, New Jersey, verbally committed to Rutgers last year and de-committed in November. According to multiple reports, Hester wanted to re-
turn closer to home to be with his ailing mother. Hester is ineligible to play until next season, when he figures to compete for a starting safety job with the impending graduations of Lorenzo Waters and Johnathan Aiken. “It’s great to have him on the team,” Flood said. “We look forward to now progressing him through our program.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow @gregp_j and @TargumSports on Twitter.

RU brings confidence to Yurcak SEAN STEWART
Entering tonight’s game against in-state rivals Monmouth, the Scarlet Knights carry confidence, momentum and home-field advantage playing at Yurcak Field. Lapses in concentration can sometimes occur in the next game following big wins. But senior midfielder Nathan Bruccoleri believes the result will only increase their motivation and focus moving forward. “We want to keep the ball as much as possible, and if we do that then the [offensive] chances will come,” Bruccoleri said. “Even

It was wet, frigid and just one victory, but that did not stop junior forward J.P. Correa from removing his shirt and celebrating his game-winning overtime goal over Wisconsin last Friday. The Rutgers men’s soccer team (3-2-0) was in a bit of a rut before registering its first Big Ten win. And for Correa, a forward who’s struggled to find the back of net last year, scoring that goal made it all the more important.
when Wisconsin scored its first goal, we just kept pressing, kept pressing, and we got the equalizer. … If anything, we just can’t have a time lapse, a mental lapse.” To call tonight’s game a rivalry perhaps gives Monmouth (3-1) too much credit, considering the history between the two programs — Rutgers is 11-0-0 all-time against the Hawks. But things have changed since the last time they played in 2004. Monmouth has
It appears to be the same old stor y for the Rutgers football team’s fan base after a close loss to a good team, while in the spotlight during the nationally televised game. When it comes down to a tight margin, the fans jump to think what could have been done better and what plays, if they never happened, could have swung the result in their favor. Much of the burden of Saturday night’s loss to Penn State falls on the shoulders of senior quar terback Gar y Nova. And, according to Nova, rightfully so. “I don’t really want to revisit the game, but bottom line, they’re all on me,” Nova said of his five interceptions against Penn State. “I would say probably 95 percent of the time, yeah [I’m comfortable with my decision-making]. The other five percent ended up being tragic turnovers, but I can’t change that now — just got to move forward.” But head coach Kyle Flood was quick to recognize that not all of the interceptions Nova threw were his fault. Before Flood said Nova will remain the star ter in a teleconference Sunday, he came to the quar terback’s defense postgame Saturday to explain some of the costly interceptions Nova threw. “The first one is a tip. One of them is a shot to a guy who makes a lot of plays SEE NOVA ON PAGE 13

WOMEN’S SOCCER PIETRANGELO LEADS RUTGERS WITH SEVEN POINTS
Canadian establishes role during senior year GARRETT STEPIEN STAFF WRITER
For Amy Pietrangelo, the road that led her to Rutgers is different from most of her teammates on the Rutgers women’s soccer team. The senior forward is one of two players on the team roster who hail from Canada. Junior forward Samantha Valliant is also a Canada native. One distinct advantage Pietrangelo held as she honed her skills prior to and during
her first couple of years at Rutgers was the unique opportunity to play among the best in the world with the Canadian national team. When she first arrived on campus, Pietrangelo was an average player. She logged at least 675 minutes in each of her first three years as a Scarlet Knight, but her offensive impact was nothing electric, combining for just three goals and 11 points. Now in her final year, Pietrangelo has made the necessary adjustments. Only five games into the season, Pietrangelo has net-
ted three goals and leads the Knights with seven points. Head coach Mike O’Neill said player development is something he and the other coaches monitor extensively. “There’s such an emphasis on recruiting, and there always should be, but there’s also even more of an emphasis on player development when they’re here,” O’Neill said. “So, to see where these guys are starting and seeing SEE CANADIAN ON PAGE 13
