Starbucks truck, Henry’s Diner now accept swipes Chloe Dopico Associate News Editor
Rutgers students with meal plans can now use their swipes for a variety of food and drinks at Henry’s Diner on Livingston campus and at the mobile Starbucks trucks. For students looking to stay in, UberEATS also just launched their delivery program on campus. DANTE DE LA PAVA
Late-night Friday snacks are no longer limited to Easton Avenue and the surrounding areas, thanks to expanding meal options near Rutgers University. Starting last Sunday, Henry’s Diner on Livingston campus started taking meal swipes at a value of $10. Henry’s is a popular destination for students because of its location and their wide variety of food and drink options. They will follow basic rules implemented by Rutgers Dining Services, including accepting guest swipes and not allowing double swiping, according to its Twitter. Henr y’s Diner will take swipes daily Monday through Friday from 9-11 a.m., and from 2-11 p.m. Special events and game days are not included. The Starbucks truck also began taking meal swipes earlier this month, according to its Twitter. UberEATS also launched in New Brunswick earlier this month, partnering with McDonald’s to present “McDelivery.” “McDelivery” allows students to place McDonald’s orders on the UberEATS mobile app or on UberEATS.com, track their order and have their meal delivered to them by delivery partners, according to a press release. “With UberEATS, you can get the food you want, where you want it, delivered at Uber speed. We’re thrilled to partner with McDonald’s to give Rutgers students easy access to their
McDonald’s favorites at the tap of a button,” said Prabhdeep Singh, UberEATS New Jersey General Manager. “Our customers in New Brunswick and surrounding areas search for McDonald’s in the UberEATS app almost daily, so we are excited to expand our reach and deliver what they’ve been craving.” The full menu will be available for delivery, excluding soft cones. UberEATS launched in New Brunswick earlier in the month, in order to offer the Rutgers community the opportunity to order from local restaurants with the speed of Uber, said Craig Ewer, an Uber spokesperson. “Working with tens of thousands of eateries around the world, we’re helping restaurants grow their businesses by reaching new customers and making it easier for you to get the food you crave,” he said. Prices for UberEats depend on the restaurant in question, but Uber charges a booking fee, according to their site. Customers will be able to see the exact price of their meal and delivery before ordering. Amanda Pisano, the brand reputation manager for the McDonald’s New York Metro Region, said that while this feature is new in the New Brunswick area, similar rollout has seen high adoption rates and high customer satisfaction. “We’ve seen impressive results across New Jersey, with a growing number of eaters and restaurants using the UberEATS platform, and our plan is to continue expanding where possible,” Ewer said.
Hundreds gather at Boyd Park for rubber duck race Jillian Pastor Staff Writer
Last Sunday, New Brunswick celebrated its annual “Raritan River Festival and Rubber Duck Race” by the waterfront in Boyd Park with environmental advocacy, live music, arts and fundraising. The first Raritan River Festival was held in 1980, making this year’s celebration the 37th festival. Hundreds of people crowded the banks of the Raritan River to watch raft and canoe races as a part of the event. According to the event’s website, the festival was awarded “Living Legend” status by the United States Library of Congress. It continues to combine community entertainment with environmental awareness and action.
“Historically, the development of Central New Jersey was based largely on the utilization of the Raritan River to transport people and goods. Most of this commerce was centered around the head of navigation at New Brunswick,” the first festival chairman M.J. “Mac” Babcock wrote. The celebration was meant to emphasize the ties between the City of New Brunswick and the historic Raritan River. One of the festival’s main highlights is The Beez Foundation’s annual Rubber Duck Race. “Adopted” rubber ducks are hoisted into the air in a jumbo-duck egg and are subsequently dropped into the river. The ducks then race to the dock and prizes are awarded to the winning ducks. See duck on Page 4
On Sunday, hundreds of spectators came down to Boyd Park to partake in the Raritan River Festival and watch the annual Rubber Duck Race. The event raised money for pediatric brain cancer research and emphasized the ties between New Brunswick and the Raritan River. PATRICK CHEN

Rutgers professor discovers 13-million-year-old ape skull in Kenya Kenneth Kurtulik Contributing Writer
A Rutgers professor unearthed a 13-million-year-old infant ape skull in Kenya, set to go on display at the Rutgers Geology Museum early next year. A high-quality replica of the infant ape skull will go on display Jan. 27 of next year at the Rutgers Geology Museum’s annual open house, said Geology Museum Associate Director Lauren Neitzke Adamo. Isaiah Nengo, lead author of the paper that detailed the discovery, is scheduled to give a talk at the event. The new exhibit will feature several types of the ape skull, adding to the museum’s other attractions which include a mastodon skeleton, a mummy, dinosaur footprints and a giant spider crab, Neitzke Adamo said. The exhibit will also feature 3-D printed ape skulls that allow kids to examine and measure the skulls to determine different traits, she said. The infant ape skull helps fill in the gaps of early ape evolution, said Craig Feibel, a professor in the Department of Anthropology. Feibel was a co-author on the paper that detailed the discover y of this Miocene epoch ape skull. “It’s an important early ape fossil. It belongs to a genus that we’ve known for a long time from other fossils, but none of them as nice as this one,” Feibel said. Finding an intact skull or cranium is uncommon, he said. Bones are easily destroyed by weather and carnivores tend to crunch up bones leaving little more than teeth, the hardest tissue in the body. Skulls provide a wealth of information with the advent of new analytical tools, Feibel said. The Proton Synchrotron at CERN works like a high-tech CT scanner allowing scientists to analyze the complete set of unerupted adult teeth inside the infant skull and the bones of the inner ear. This new imaging technique is so detailed that lines in the unerupted teeth can be used to
Next year, a high-quality replica of a 13-million-year-old ape skull that was discovered by a Rutgers professor will be displayed at the Rutgers Geology Museum. FRED SPOOR / RUTGERS.EDU count how many days the infant ape lived, he said. The skull was unearthed in the Turkana Basin in Kenya. A lake in the basin has unusual properties that make finding fossils common, Feibel said. Sediment is constantly burying fossils and stones, while faulting is pushing fossils and stones back up to the surface, he said. During the monsoon season, a period of intense rain, unimpeded by vegetation due to the desert climate, causes fossils to resurface. “Rutgers is actually a pretty big leader in human evolutionary studies,” Feibel said. “Both on the
archeological side and paleontological side, and particularly what we do here in providing what we call context.” Context helps determine what the environment was like millions of years ago and the resources that were available to creatures of the time, he said. The fossils and tools found on expeditions in Africa get Rutgers students involved, too. Samples collected abroad are returned to the laboratory on Douglass for analysis, Feibel said. Fieldwork is responsible for several recent graduate theses. A former graduate student determined the skull’s age by per-
forming argon-argon dating on the volcanic rock that surrounded the fossil, he said. “(Field research) gave me my future,” said Melissa Boyd. The graduate student in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences has worked on several expeditions. She was responsible for collecting samples of sediment and drawing stratigraphic maps of the area. Pictures alone are not sufficient, she said. The maps document where samples were taken and are required for the reports. Antonio Kuilan, a graduate student in the Department of Anthro-
pology, works with the minerals left behind by volcanoes. “The real work starts in the lab,” Kuilan said. When a volcano erupts, it leaves a blanket of small, glass-like crystals on the ground. Identifying the age of the volcanic crystals above and below a fossil allows the lab to determine when a fossil was buried, he said. “It’s all happening at Rutgers. You can go to any of these departments and say, ‘I’m interested in understanding evolution.’ You can actually do this work, right now,” Boyd said. “It’s not necessarily something you’re only going to see on TV.”

New Eagleton poll shows importance of arts in education Ryan Stiesi Contributing Writer
Ninety percent of New Jerseyans believe that receiving arts education in the classroom is important, according to the Arts Ed NJ poll, conducted by the Eagleton Institute of Politics. According to the poll, half or more of residents believe arts education is just as important as other subjects, including English language arts at 53 percent, science at 50 percent, social studies at 56 percent, computer science at 49 percent, health and physical education at 56 percent and world languages at 54 percent. The poll was carried out through telephone sur veys, and 714 inter views were conducted and completed among adults in New Jersey, said Ashley Koning, manager of the Rutgers-Eagleton poll. “Rutgers-Eagleton polls are our statewide public opinion polls of New Jersey, which we’ve been doing since 1971. We have almost four decades of data. Any statewide poll is a telephone survey of the statewide population, and telephone surveys are sort of the gold standard in survey research,” Koning said. She said they typically collect between 600 and 900 interviews, which gives them statistical confidence that, within a certain margin of error, these results accurately portray how the population as a whole feels. According to the poll, for questions regarding the importance of art education, possible answers were broken up into categories of very important, somewhat important, not very important, not at all important and “do not know.” This is done so participants do not feel their choices are limited when expressing how they feel about the topic, Koning said. “Public opinion is not only about the direction and the valence of if something is positive or negative, but it is also very much about the degree to which somebody feels that way as well,” she said. Two areas where New Jerseyans still feel divided are in actively getting involved with the arts in
According to a new poll conducted by the Eagleton Institute of Politics, 90 percent of people from New Jersey believe that receiving arts education is important, but only about half believe that arts should receive more funding. ANA COUTO their community, and the amount of funding public schools put into art education. More than half of residents surveyed had not taken a child to a program or event, donated, raised money, volunteered or shared something on social media within the past year that was related to
the arts in their local community, according to the poll. Bob Morrison, founder and president of Arts Ed NJ, said that this demonstrates how people care but often times they do not know how to care effectively. The next step toward higher participation is helping people understand how they
can get involved in ways such as talking with school officials, going to events and just talking with other people involved with the arts. Koning said that another explanation for the high support but lower levels of involvement could be because the arts are just not on certain people’s minds.
“I think things like being a parent and actually having a child in a school system may make people more involved. They also may be more likely to think it’s important,” she said. The findings from the 2017 New Jersey Arts Education Census Summar y Report may echo that sentiment, as the report highlights significant gains in participation in the arts amongst students in New Jersey schools. “More than 76 (percent) of all students in New Jersey now participate in arts education every year. In the past decade, we have seen a 12 percent increase in student participation. This means an additional 100,000 students annually participate in arts education bringing the yearly total to nearly one million students,” according to the report. Also stated in the Rutgers-Eagleton and Arts Ed NJ poll is that about half of New Jerseyans believe their public school district does not spend enough on funding for the arts. Koning said that certain partisanships were found within certain demographics, and that may help explain the division. “Women, minority residents and those in lower income areas are all more likely to say there is not enough funding,” she said. Koning said that this also relates back to the idea that people already involved with the arts, such as those with children, are more likely to see its importance. “All of these questions are related to one another. If you think it’s more important you may be more likely to participate. If you’re more likely to participate by the same token you may think it’s more important,” she said. Morrison says that since Arts Ed NJ was established in 2007, much progress has been made in terms of access to and participation in the arts. “It is hard to get 50 percent of New Jersey to agree on anything let alone 90 percent saying this is important,” Morrison said. “This sends a strong signal that arts education is highly valued in New Jersey.”

Effects of Tuskagee Study still felt today FREE AS IN LIBRE THALYA REYES
D
octors are seen as trustworthy individuals who dedicate their careers to their communities and larger public service, yet, for marginalized people, especially black Americans, the medical community elicits fear and mistrust due to a record of discriminatory practices in diagnosis and treatment. While awareness of the ways in which doctors discriminate against patients of color is growing, the most infamous case of medical racism, the Tuskegee Study of untreated syphilis in the black male, remains largely unknown by the populace. Our public health system and scientific institutions are not exceptions to participating in institutional and systemic racism, and the Tuskegee Study is a testament to this legacy. In 1932, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) recruited 600 black, mostly low-income men in Macon County, Alabama for a clinical trial providing special treatment for “bad blood.” While none of the men knew what illness they were specifically being treated for, they had the promise of free meals, free physicals and free burial insurance. What PHS researchers were truly studying was the progression of the venereal disease syphilis — without providing treatment. The researchers never obtained consent from the men who participated, letting those affected go through the devastating effects of the disease. Because researchers never informed the men in the study of their health status, many of their wives and children also contracted the disease. All this occurred four years after the discovery of penicillin, which was widely accepted as the treatment for syphilis in 1945. That year, PHS started administering penicillin in rapid treatment centers to help people afflicted with syphilis but never administered treatment to the men in the Tuskegee Study. While even one day would have been too long, the fact that the study was originally intended to last six months but continued for 40 years, demonstrates the utter lack of concern by a multitude of public health administrators through the decades. It was not until 1966 when Peter Buxtun, a public health investigator and social worker, wrote to the director of the U.S. division of venereal diseases on his concerns about the ethics of the Tuskegee Study. After he was ignored by agency staff, Buxtun leaked information about the study to Jean Heller, an Associated Press reporter who ultimately revealed the truth of this horrific experiment in a July 1972 front-page feature of The New York Times, effectively ending the study and beginning years of litigation and reparations for those impacted. While maintaining trust in the profession is vital to diverse participation in biomedical research and improving health outcomes, the Tuskegee Study impaired this goal. In a recent economic study, researchers concluded that the “disclosure of the Tuskegee Study in 1972 is associated with increases in medical mistrust and mortality and decreases in both outpatient and inpatient physician interactions for older black men.” What this means is that even older black men, particularly those with the lowest education and income levels, who did not participate in the study were also negatively impacted. The heightened mistrust of medical professionals ultimately led to worse health outcomes and a life expectancy reduced by 1.5 years which accounted for 35 percent of the 1980 life expectancy gap between black and white men. A critical component in addressing these injustices was the passage of the National Research Act of 1974, which created the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research. This commission developed basic ethical principles and required Institutional Review Boards ensure standards are being met to protect human subjects in research from unnecessary risks and ramifications due to abuses like those seen in the Tuskegee Study. Unfortunately, recent reports of pharmaceutical companies taking advantage of mentally ill and homeless people in clinical trials demonstrate how our patchwork, profit-driven health system continues to marginalize our most vulnerable with no regard to ethical standards and the humanity of those affected. The human rights violations committed by PHS researchers in the Tuskegee Study highlight how science is not an inherently value-free institution and that in the pursuit of “objective scientific progress,” vulnerable people were exploited, abused and allowed to die. How can we hold scientific and medical institutions accountable to a bioethical standard, under a system that continues to put profit over people’s lives? This implores us to be critical of supposedly value-free institutions and push back with ethical solutions built from the ground up. Our communities have the agency needed to guarantee medical abuses like those carried out in the Tuskegee Study do not continue to happen — now it’s time to organize. Thalya Reyes is an Edward J.

It’s time to (moo)ve away from dairy products for your health MIND BODY SCARLET MONICA BULNES
W
hen people think of dietary restrictions, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diets are the first to come to mind. But only 35 percent of the global population can digest lactose without difficulty, which shows the importance of observing how our own bodies react to dairy consumption. Whether you are lactose intolerant or do not have a dairy allergy at all, avoiding milk and cheese can be beneficial to your overall health. Lactose intolerance is a deficiency of the lactose enzyme in the small intestine, which is needed to digest dairy products. The inability to produce this enzyme causes a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms when lactose is consumed. Why is this deficiency prevalent in our society to begin with? Think about it — we are the only species that consumes the milk of another species. If goats don’t drink cow’s milk, and cows don’t drink breast milk, then why do we drink cow’s milk? Once infants surpass the young age of drinking milk, the body no longer needs to depend on milk for survival since the same nutrients can be obtained from solid foods. That being said, as long as you are consuming other calcium-rich foods such as spinach,
broccoli and beans, there is no need to be concerned with calcium deficiency and bone weakness when removing dairy from your diet. Over time, I started to realize that the majority of the foods I had to ignore to live a dairy-free lifestyle are unhealthy anyway. There are better sources for nutrients than ice cream, donuts and nachos. Once you accept this, you learn how to skip all of those
Another advantage of living dairy free is the unmistakable improvement in your skin. “The relationship of diet and acne,” an analysis published in the Dermato-Endocrinology Journal, suggests that restricting dairy consumption could lessen its severity. This is important for those who feel like they have tried everything to get rid of their acne. If eating dairy causes breakouts and blemishes and you eat cheese at least once a day,
“That being said, as long as you are consuming other calciumrich foods such as spinach, broccoli and beans, there is no need to be concerned with calcium deficiency and bone weakness when removing dairy from your diet.”
options when browsing through the supermarket or ordering dinner at a restaurant. What you are left with is a simple selection of food items and meals that are actually beneficial for your health. This lifestyle change can certainly lead to healthy weight loss since it requires you to cut out many junk foods and be conscious of the ingredients your meals contain.
just imagine the damaging effect that can have on your skin. Your body is negatively reacting to something you are consuming regularly, so topical treatments will never remove the acne fully. Eliminating dairy from your diet is the first step to clear skin. Health benefits aside, people eat cheese and drink milk because it tastes good. Resisting temptations may be hard, but it is
possible with a little willpower. There are many alternatives available to make the transition into a dairy-free lifestyle a bit easier on the taste buds. For example, almond, coconut and lactose-free milk can be paired with your morning coffee and provide the same amount of calcium as milk. In wraps and sandwiches, use mashed avocado to replace the creamy consistency of cheese. For dessert, trade in ice cream for an apple and almond butter. Getting creative with substituting dairy will make you discover healthier alternatives that leave you feeling satisfied instead of bloated and guilty. Changing your eating habits is not easy, and I admit that the first couple of weeks will be hard. Once you get past it and your mindset begins to change, this could be one of the best choices you have ever made for your body. I have been dairy free for five months and cannot imagine ever putting dairy back into my diet. Your body, stomach and skin will thank you and you will feel a significant change in how you feel after your meals. I encourage you to try being dairy free for a month — what you discover may be the necessary improvement to your health that you have been searching for.

New methods fight against cyber attacks on 3-D printers Jay JoshI Contributing Writer
3-D printing, a technology that has proven its worth in a variety of industries, is one that is vulnerable to hazardous cyber attacks. The machinery has applications in medicine, infrastructure, robotics and more. Improper function of the apparatus in any of the aforementioned fields may result in disastrous consequences. 3-D printers are impressive pieces of technology in that they offer a unique way to outfit needs of all shapes and sizes. An example of the 3-D printer’s versatility is in its proposed use in airplanes. The technology assembles specific parts needed to improve on the current components used, which saves money and fuel without sacrificing safety or structural integrity. However, the use of the 3-D printer in projects as big as airplane construction is safe only when one can guarantee that the printer has built its target properly, without any mistakes or flaws, no matter how small. It is therefore vital to be confident that the printing machinery is functioning exactly as expected. One major flaw in secure and accurate 3-D printing is its susceptibility to cyber attacks. Anyone motivated and with nefarious intentions can hack a 3-D printer, and introduce flaws in the printer’s products that are not visible to the naked eye. These flaws can destroy the designed function of the printed part, and even that of the overall system it constitutes. Such a situation manifested when a drone with a sabotaged 3-D-printed propeller malfunctioned and crashed, just two minutes after takeoff, according to Motherboard. Cyber attacks on 3-D printers are a very real and a dangerous threat. Cyber attacks are becoming more and more common in today’s technology-dependent world. According to CSO Online, the damage costs from cyber attacks are expected to exceed $6 trillion annually by 2021. Cyber attacks are devastating and it has been reported that around 60 percent of small businesses that have been victims of a cyber attacks had been forced to close their business six months after the attack, according to an article by the Denver Post. 3-D printing is a prime target for cyber attacks because such an intervention can cause widespread damage with little effort. The machines are extremely expensive, causing companies to outsource their printing jobs by sending printing instructions to external facilities.
3-D printers, like other forms of technology, are susceptible to cyber attacks. Hackers can intercept the instructions sent by the 3-D printer in a way that the final product is not as intended. WIKIMEDIA COMMONS A hacker may simply interfere with the 3-D printers of one facility which in turn hampers with proper production of the products of many companies. The companies that outsource 3-D printing do not have the ability to check to be certain of the accuracy of the print. If the firmware in these external printing facilities is hacked, then all the print jobs from that facility are compromised, causing a great loss of money and resources. The only protection that the 3-D printers have is anti-hacking software, which does not always protect against cyberattacks, according to Electronics360.
In order to combat this dilemma, researchers from Rutgers— New Brunswick and Georgia Institute of Technology have developed three new methods that are expected to offer a better system of protecting 3-D printers against cyber attacks. These methods focus on physical characteristics of the printer, which are more identifiable than those of the software and serve as better checks, according to the site. The first of these methods relies on the sounds that the printer makes whilst working. The 3-D printer’s method of creating a product is strictly codified and has a unique pattern. By creating
a sound clip of a printer making a model object and testing it against the sound clip of another printer making the same object, one can check if the printer is physically doing what it is supposed to do, according to Motherboard. In the second method, this logic is extended to the physical movements of the printers and using them as a benchmark to ensure that the object of interest is being created properly, according to the site. The third method detailed in the study comprises of adding gold nanoparticles to the material that the 3-D printer uses to make objects, according to the site. By
doing so, one would be able to scan the object, detect the presence of the nanoparticles and decide if they were in the correct order and dispersed properly in the product. If the product was altered, the scans would reveal nanoparticles in unexpected places and unevenly distributed throughout the object. These three new methods offer a new way to deal with the potential cyber threats that face 3-D printing. 3-D printing is expected to be used to replace organs and body parts and to build airplanes, among many other uses. It is imperative that the products used in these important roles are without any defects.

home Rutgers pulls off 2 shutouts on weekend against No. 19 Iowa, Indiana at home continued from back outshot by the Hawkeyes, 8-2 in the second half. Larmour went through the process of how she scored the decisive goal, pointing out that she was not the only one who deserves credit. “We had been practicing attack penalty corners all week and that’s how we scored,” the midfielder from Belfast, Northern Ireland said. “It was into the by-lane and Daphne (Groothuis) hit it to me from the right post and I just deflected it in. It came from a good insert and it was perfectly on target. I couldn’t have done it without help.” Civico praised her team’s performance, but worried about her players tiring out in the second half. “I thought we played really good hockey in the first half,” Civico said. “We were possessing the ball, we were passing well, and again we executed on attack penalty corners. In the second half we were a bit frantic and disorganized. I think the team was mentally and physically fatigued, and we have to get better at performing under that fatigue. We’re winning, but the team still felt under pressure.” For Civico, the win marked a milestone at Rutgers, as it was her 50th victory since she became the Knights’ head coach. She attributed the win to a very good defense. “Our defensive penalty corner unit was so solid today,” she said.
“Glatz was outstanding, and Emily Howarth, Alanna Gollotto, Katie Larmour and Austyn Cuneo back there didn’t give up anything. I’m really pleased with our play on the defensive side.”
As the goalkeeper, Glatz praised her defense’s work in both games and described how a good defense impacts the game as a whole. “Having a confident defense instills confidence throughout the entire team, and it makes me confident,” she said. “I know I can rely on them, and it gives us a great groove going up the field. The communication helps everyone know where to go and
where to be, and it shows the other team that we have the control and can possess the ball. It’s very intimidating.” Rutgers’ next game is at Northwestern this Friday. Overall it was a successful weekend from a competition standpoint, and the players believe that they are in great shape going forward. “Being together really helps and is the key to success,”
Larmour said. “We have the mindset that we back ever y single player on this team, whether they start or come in. That was our key thing to target this week, and the fact that we pulled it off felt amazing. We put ourselves in a great position going into next weekend.” For updates on the Rutgers field hockey team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

overtime Freshman Moneme seals win for Knights in overtime, as they win 2-1 vs. Illinois continued from back freshman forward Amirah Ali passed the ball to fellow freshman forward Nneka Moneme who onetimed her shot that found the back of the net and made the Knights happy on their way home. “I always try to help the team and do the best I can on the field,” Moneme said. “I am very happy about my first career goal. I need
to play with that same mentality every game.” The goal marked the first of Moneme’s career and her first game-winner — quite the timing. Sixteen of Rutgers’ 24 goals this season have come from underclassmen. “I think the most important piece is the depth,” said head coach Mike O’Neill. “Every day we talk about everybody being plugged in
and coming in and getting better because there’s going to be a time that you’re going to be called upon and you’re going to need to step up. That’s what Nneka did today.” Overall, O’Neill was pleased how his team bounced back from not only a disappointing tie on Friday but the goal given up as well. “The game we played on Friday night we just gave the ball away too much,” O’Neill said. “So the goal today was to keep it and then create opportunities and I think we did a good job of that.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s soccer team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

Reeling Rutgers looks to recover against Princeton Coby Green Correspondent
Riding a rough five-match losing streak, the Rutgers men’s soccer team hopes to shake off its rough start to the season in the upcoming interstate matchup. The Scarlet Knights (1-7-1, 0-4-0) will take a short travel down south on Tuesday night, where they will face fellow New Jersey team, Princeton (1-3-2, 0-0-0), to kick off the second half of the season. The 7 p.m. start time will kick off the third meeting in four years between Rutgers and the Tigers. “With Princeton, we’ve always had some pretty heated and physical games,” said head coach Dan Donigan. “We are going to be prepared to go down there and play a great interstate rivalry game.” Rutgers currently trails the alltime series, with a record of 2029-9 against Princeton, making this one of the biggest rivalries in New Jersey. Going back to 2014, when the Knights first joined the Big Ten, Rutgers again traveled down to face Princeton, but the Tigers got the upper hand and defeated the Knights, 5-2. Former Rutgers forward Jason Wright scored both goals for the Knights, but Rutgers alumnus goalkeeper David Greczek let five balls pass him by for scores, resulting in the loss. Last season, the Knights hosted the Tigers in Piscataway, but
Senior forward Dante Perez scored the team’s only goal the last time it played Princeton, a 4-1 loss a year ago at home. JEFFREY GOMEZ / ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR / SEPTEMBER 2017 Princeton brought the fight to Rutgers, defeating it 4-1 and increasing its lead in the heated rivalry. Then-junior forward Dante Perez scored the lone goal for the Knights in the tough loss. “The one thing we are looking forward to is getting the win,” Perez said. “We need to get back on the winning streak. Rutgers is currently finishing up an extremely tough part of its schedule, which saw the
team face five ranked teams. Added to its current five-match losing streak are three shutouts in five games. In their last game, the Knights took on No. 2 Indiana on the road and suffered one of their worst losses of the season, losing 5-0 after not getting a single shot off in the first half, while ending up with just six for the game. “This part of the season is very crucial for us because of
our record, so we need to make a comeback,” Perez said. Junior goalkeeper Rafael Pereira did manage to rack up a season-high seven saves in the loss to the Hoosiers, giving him 49 saves on the season to 27 goals allowed. Rutgers seems to have a harder time controlling the game once it comes out of the locker room at halftime, giving up 18 goals in the second period compared to just 8 in the first.
So far this season, the Knights have taken 102 shot attempts, with 41 of them being on goal. Rutgers opponents have gotten 150 shots off this season, with 79 being on target with the goal, showing something the team needs to improve on shutting down with its defense. The Tigers are coming into Tuesday’s matchup with some needed confidence. Princeton won its first game of the season last weekend, defeating No. 21 Fairleigh Dickinson on the road. “They’ve had a tough start just as we have, but they are coming off a ver y good win against Fairleigh Dickinson this weekend, while we are coming off a tough road loss,” Donigan said. “So, we can’t feel sorr y for ourselves and we got to just get ready for battle.” The Tigers had lost three of their first five games of the season, while the other two games resulted in draws. With a win Tuesday night, or a win any night for that matter, the Knights would officially post a better record than they did a year ago, in what was an extremely rough 1-14-2 season. Rutgers will return home next Sunday for another Big Ten matchup with Wisconsin at 3:30 p.m. For updates on the Rutgers men’s soccer team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.
VOLLEYBALL RUTGERS SWEPT AT HOME BY IOWA, NEBRASKA
Knights unable to beat Iowa, Nebraska on new home surface Alex Fabugais-Inaba Staff Writer
The new Taraflex playing surface that the Rutgers volleyball team unveiled on Friday at the College Avenue Gymnasium gave it no advantage heading into the conference portion of its season as the Scarlet Knights dropped a pair of losses this past weekend in straight sets. Unable to defeat Big Ten opponents Iowa and No. 14 Nebraska, Rutgers now sits at 5-9 on the season. The Taraflex floor has been used in the past 11 Summer Olympic Games and Rutgers is fortunate to be one of just 26 NCA A Division I programs that have installed this portable surface. The Taraflex surface is the only one in the Northeast region and one of nine used in the power-five conferences all over the country. Iowa and Nebraska are the only other teams in the Big Ten that have these floors, so there were no surprises to the newly established surface when both teams came to play. Dominating the game from start to finish, Iowa’s .313 attack percentage greatly surpassed Rutgers’ season low of .012 to complete the matchup with scores of 25-17, 25-16 and 25-14. This is now the Hawkeyes’ best start to a season since 1994 as they now stand at 12-2. Leading the Knights for the 10th time this season is freshman

KEVIN ZHANG / SEPTEMBER 2017 opposite hitter Kamila Cieslik with nine kills. The rookie’s 19 total aces ranked her 50th in the country and fourth in the Big Ten
before the game against Iowa, proving that there is potential for the team to improve over the next couple of years.
“I’m just here to make a difference and help the program grow,” Cieslik said. “For the team, I think we’re just trying
to string together a few wins.” Junior outside hitter Sahbria McLetchie followed closely behind Cieslik with seven kills. Additionally, sophomore setter Megan Sharkey recorded 20 assists and a team-high seven digs. The next day, Rutgers struggled again to win a set against No. 14 Nebraska with straight set scores of 25-15, 25-20 and 2511. The Knights played slightly better than the day before with a .135-hitting percentage but were outmatched by Nebraska’s .376. Sophomore outside hitter Jillian Duffin got her chance to shine again since her last invitational with ten kills. Coming in second again on the offensive leaderboard was McLetchie with eight kills. Twenty-four assists came from Sharkey, putting her at a whopping total of 940 since the start of her freshman year. She inches toward Rutgers’ alltime leaderboard with No. 10 Jennifer DelGais’s 1,082 assists, which was set over two decades ago back in 1993. Notching two opening losses to the start of the conference season, the Knights still have a long way to go before the season comes to a close at the end of November. Rutgers will have a chance to prove itself again as the team hosts Northwestern and Illinois next weekend. For updates on the Rutgers volleyball team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

RU shuts out No. 19 Iowa, IU at home Jordan Farbowitz Correspondent
Looking to make a splash in its first two conference games this season, the Rutgers field hockey team came out strong and showed the rest of the Big Ten that it will be a force to be reckoned with. The No. 23 Scarlet Knights (7-3, 2-0) made a statement to start Big Ten play, shutting out Indiana (5-5, 0-2) and No. 19 Iowa (4-7, 0-3) this weekend. The Knights improved to 4-0 at home on the season. Rutgers started off the weekend by blanking Indiana 2-0 on Friday. Freshman Gianna Mancini and sophomore Austyn Cuneo both scored, while freshman goalkeeper Gianna Glatz made four saves to record her sixth win. The Knights outshot the Hoosiers 16-8 and earned seven penalty corners to Indiana’s four. “I thought that we played well and were definitely the better team,” said head coach Meredith Civico. “We possessed the ball well, we stuck with our structure and played to our strengths and capitalized on attack penalty corners. We knew we had to execute on those opportunities in order to win and I was really pleased.” Two days later, the team returned to the field and beat No. 19 ranked Iowa 1-0. Sophomore Katie Larmour provided the lone goal in just the 10th minute, while the defense held strong for the rest of the game despite being Sophomore back Austyn Cuneo scored a goal in the Rutgers win over Indiana this past weekend, her fourth of the season. She sits at third on the team with her 10 points on the season. CASEY AMBROSIO / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / SEPTEMBER 2017

After both games over the weekend went to overtime, the Rutgers women’s soccer team came out alive, tying Northwestern 0-0 on Friday and winning a 2-1 thriller in Sunday’s bout against Illinois. The No. 12 Scarlet Knights (8-0-2, 2-0-1) earned four points in conference play over the weekend and now sit in a tie for third place in the Big Ten. Rutgers hoped to escape the state of Illinois with six points, but the team still remains undefeated on the season — the lone team yet to lose a game in the Big Ten. “Every time I walk out on the field I know my teammates are giving 100 percent — tonight was no different,” said senior midfielder Christy Monroy after Friday’s game. “We didn’t get the result we wanted, but we had some good moments we can build on and some learning moments we can use to prepare us to move forward.” Despite the tie, the Knights matched a program-best and stretched their shutout streak to nine games.

Northwestern (5-4-2, 2-1-1) outshot Rutgers 13-6, but it proved futile as neither team could find the back of the net in 110 minutes of action. Junior goalkeeper Casey Murphy added five saves to give her a total of 30 saves on the season going into Sunday. “The focus tonight is to recover from a tough match and mentally prepare for Sunday,” Monroy said. “Every game has a new plan and we will spend the next two days refocusing on our next opponent.” That opponent was Illinois (3-9-0, 0-40) and, yes, the Knights were refocused. Things looked good for Rutgers after senior forward Colby Ciarrocca scored her team-leading sixth goal of the season in the 63rd minute to give the Knights a 1-0 lead. Twelve minutes later, Illinois countered with a goal of its own — ending Rutgers’ scoreless streak at 924:07 minutes, the longest scoreless streak in program history. With a 1-1 tie after regulation, the game headed to overtime where it did not stay for long. Four minutes into the first half of overtime,
