Medical professionals debunk myths about flu NICOLE OSTRAGONACZ CONTRIBUTING WRITER

It may be necessar y to do more than wash your hands often and keep a distance from sick people this 2015-2016 flu season.

The influenza virus attacks a patient’s respirator y system, said Gaetana Holt, a staf f nurse with Rutgers Health Ser vices in an email. “(It attacks) your nose, throat and lungs,” she said.

Flu symptoms can include fever, fatigue, muscle aches, headache, cough, sore throat and r unny or stuf fy nose, said Gretchen Chapman, professor in the Depar tment of Psychology, in an email.

“The symptoms often come on suddenly and can last 7 to 10 days,” she said.

Although the symptoms of a cold and the flu can be similar, the flu is worse, Holt said. The common cold may make you a little lethargic, but the flu will definitely take its toll on you.

Even worse, the flu can be spread easily through sneezing or coughing, Chapman said.

The flu is commonly spread throughout students in colleges because of the close living

quar ters, constant inevitable contact with one another and highly populated classrooms, Chapman said.

The flu shot is a vaccine that contains three or four strains of inactivated influenza virus, Chapman said.

The flu vaccine tends to be the best option in the so-called “prevention” of the illness, Holt said.

“The flu viruses selected for inclusion in the seasonal flu vaccines are updated each year based on which influenza viruses are circulating, how they are spreading, and how well current vaccine components protect against newly identified viruses,” she said.

The ef ficiency of the vaccine has been the cause of some skepticism. Receiving the vaccine does not mean an individual is safe from infection because there are dif ferent strains of the virus, Chapman said.

“The ef ficacy varies from year to year depending on whether the strains in the vaccine match the strains that end up being prevalent that year, but generally the flu shot is about 80 percent ef fective for people under age 65 and SEE FLU ON PAGE 4

The Daily Targum sits with ‘Sex and the City’ actress Kristin Davis JESSICA HERRING STAFF WRITER

Many people may recognize Kristin Davis from her character Charlotte York Goldenblatt on “Sex and the City.” But before becoming a famous actress, she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in theater at the Mason Gross School of the Arts in 1987.

Davis sat down with The Daily Targum to talk about her experiences as an undergraduate student at Rutgers as well as her life as an actress and avid philanthropist.

“One of my greatest memories of Mason Gross School of the Arts is the first time I visited the campus,” she said.

Prior to enrolling at the University, Davis said she auditioned

for the theater program in early Januar y and was able to appreciate the fresh snow covering the Ravine Bridge on Douglass campus. When visiting the University, she also met students who were par t of the BFA program and was inspired by their personalities, she said.

Students connect to animals, world for Wildlife Week from Oct. 5 to 11 RACHEL APPLETON CONTRIBUTING WRITER

As midterms creep into the midst of October, Rutgers students learned about their place in the ecosystem while taking action in saving endangered species by participating in Wildlife Week from Oct. 5 to 11.

Sarah Indano is a School of Arts and Sciences senior who is also a

member of the Rutgers University Seeing Eye Puppy Raising Club.

Indano understands the important relationship between humans and their environment.

“By protecting endangered species and wildlife, we are not just saving animals lives, we are preserving a world of knowledge,” said Indano.

“By protecting wildlife, we are saving information about genetic diseases and animal survivorship.”

In one night, Bernie Sanders said the American people were tired of hearing about Hillary Clinton’s “damn emails,” and Martin O’Malley said his proudest enemy is the National Rifle Association.

For the first three-hour Democratic debate that aired on CNN and was hosted by Anderson Cooper on the evening of Oct. 13, students clustered together at the Eagleton Institute of Politics on Douglass campus to watch the five Democratic candidates — Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Jim Webb, Martin O’Malley and Lincoln Chafee – duke it out in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The debate aired the left side of the political spectrum after it aired the right side in September with the GOP debate in Simi Valley, California, featuring Donald Trump, Carly Fiorina, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, John Kasich, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Chris Christie, Rand Paul and Mike Huckabee.

Elizabeth Matto, director of the Youth Political Participation Program, said the debate watches are meant to encourage students to pay attention and get involved with

politics, according to a previous article in The Daily Targum. “(We) want students to pay attention to the content,” she said. “We want students to listen critically to what the candidates are saying.”

While Cooper, host of “Anderson Cooper 360,” asked the majority of the questions, video submissions from citizens made up the remainder of the time.

Debate topics included higher education, banking policy, immigration, the #BlackLivesMatter movement, Russian military activity and national security concerns.

Yahoo! Politics Editor-In-Chief Garance Franke-Ruta said in a tweet that candidate views on these topics came after a significant amount of time elapsed after the Republican Primary Debate held on Sept. 16.

The candidates focused on the issues they were most comfortable with, said James Deloughery, a School of Arts and Sciences junior.

For Sen. Bernie Sanders (DVt.), that issue was college tuition, he said.

A college degree is the equivalent of a high school degree from 20 years ago due to its ubiquity, and as such should be paid for with taxes rather

U. club works to assist Syrian refugees with banquet

As the humanitarian crisis in Syria rages on, the Arab Cultural Club will host a banquet at the Douglass Student Center on Oct. 27, where all proceeds will be donated toward the relief effort.

CONNOR MCCARTHY STAFF WRITER

The Syrian refugee crisis has been an ongoing problem for the past couple of years and has escalated over the past couple of months.

In order to help alleviate the situation, the Arab Cultural Club will host a banquet event in the Douglass Student Center’s Trayes Hall to assist Syrian refugees on Oct. 27.

All proceeds from the banquet will be donated towards the relief ef for t.

“The reason why we decided to do a banquet is because we want to have discussions about the Syrian crisis, but we also want to have other events, such as screening a documentar y about it,” said Nourin Abubaker, president of The Arab Cultural Club.

The Syrian refugee crisis started as a direct result of the Syrian Civil War. The killing star ted in April 2011, when peaceful protests inspired by earlier revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia rose up to challenge the dictatorship running the countr y, according to The Washington Post. The Syrian government responded by killing activists and the families of activists. Eventually, Syrian troops star ted opening fire during protests. As time went by, civilians star ted to shoot back and fighting escalated from there to grow into a civil war.

Early last month, a 3-year-old Syrian boy washed up dead on a beach and brought the Syrian refugee crisis into world view, according to The Washington Post. He was identified as Aylan Kurdi in news reports.

“The media originally reported him as sleeping, but he was actually dead,” Abubaker said.

“The stor y with Aylan opened my eyes to the crisis. The image of his body in the water made me realize that this is a much bigger deal than I originally thought.”

Kurdi was among the millions dead or on the run from the Islamic State’s continuing campaign of destruction in Syria and Iraq, according to The Washington Post.

than tuition, Sanders said. He plans to pay for this by imposing a speculation tax on Wall Street.

“I want the millionaire and billionaires of Wall Street to help the middle class pay for students to go to public universities and colleges for free,” Sanders said during the debate. “The middle class bailed out big banks in the financial crisis (in 2008).”

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she also supported making public colleges tuition free, but did not provide many details on her plan to allow this.

Matthew Moore, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, said he watched the debate to learn more about the different candidates.

Moore said he also attended the Republican debate watch and was interested to see if candidates would

interact with frontrunner Clinton the same way GOP candidates interacted with Donald Trump, the current Republican frontrunner.

Other students interested in becoming more politically involved should utilize the Eagleton Institute, said Antoinette Gingerelli, a School of Arts and Sciences junior and student organizer for the Youth Political Participation Program.

Besides its resources, the Institute has a for-credit internship for Rutgers students, she said. It would also help students register to vote for the next possible election.

Students can still join the YPPP, the non-partisan group that organized the debate-watch, the “RU Voting” Campaign and “RU Ready,” a group that promotes civic responsibility.

More people should vote next November than in previous years, Sanders said.

million and growing.

The center dedicates their time working to save species on the verge of extinction through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to sur vive,” according the official website for Biological Diversity.

Take Extinction Off Your Plate is the nationwide campaign that started Wildlife Week for the first time at colleges this fall. It works with individuals and groups to specifically address meat consumption and its effects on the environment.

Their website highlights the fact that one can become a part of this movement by joining by

oneself or joining with a group of friends.

During wildlife week, each day is dedicated to something new. Monday was named “Meatless Monday,” Tuesday was “saving the hellbender,” Thursday was “Tur tle Thursday” according to Take Extinction Of f Your Plate’s of ficial site. Other days of the week were dedicated to various topics including sushi, butterflies and sustaining the endangered species. “(The mission of Wildlife Week is to) highlight the link between the production of meat and the harm it causes to wildlife through pollution, climate change, predator control and habitat loss,” Molidor said in an email inter view.

Students at Rutgers are among the top 20 least politically active, according to a study by The Princeton Review and an article in The Daily Targum.

Gingerelli said she has not found evidence that millennials are uninterested in politics during her interactions with University members. “(Students) show their engagement with different issues in different ways,” she said.

These differences should be taken into account when looking at political involvement, she said.

It is also her belief that many students, specifically millennials, do not believe in the political system anymore and politicians are reluctant to speak to this demographic because of that.

Research has shown that millennials were crucial in President Barack Obama’s two presidential victories and they will play another role in this election, she said.

The Institute’s Facebook event indicated more than 300 students were interested in watching the debate.

“Millions of people are going to come together and say our government will work for us (and) not just the billionaires,” Sanders said.

Molidor said that individu“At the dining hall I can think This past week Rutgers students hosted veggie meal of maybe 4 or 5 options for a al human diet causes between nights, tabling events, movie vegetarian to eat which is not 14.5 percent and a possible 51 nights and spread the word salad.

The combination of the tomatoes, pesto, cheese and mustard created a tasty and savory flavor.

The cream of tomato soup, which was $2.75 a serving, was definitely enjoyable. It was served

in a cup, which immediately emitted a warm aroma as soon as I popped off the lid. The soup was extremely warm, enriching, and tangy to the last drop. It was a nice side to the savory richness of the pesto sandwich.

Eradication of malaria on African continent shows change ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD CONNOR SIVERSKY

E

ven in the wake of an Ebola pandemic that threatened tens of thousands while terrifying billions throughout the world, Africa is making huge strides in eradicating malaria permanently. The effectiveness of programs implemented currently can be compared in scope only to the near-eradication of polio, or even smallpox — keep in mind that the latter of the two was responsible for several billion deaths. Needless to say, the implications of success in this case are huge. Not only does the eradication of malaria foreshadow a significantly brighter future for the worst-affected areas, but the successful programs developed in the process can be applied elsewhere to assist with the elimination of diseases that are similarly endemic and deadly in nature.

Throughout the early half of the 20th centur y, malaria was responsible for an average of two million deaths a year.

The ability of the disease to piggyback on mosquitoes made the pathogen remarkably efficient in terms of its transmission, considering there is no practical method available to physically stop the insects from breeding and subsequently spreading the disease. Naturally, wet, hot and humid climates fared the worst against the disease, creating a band of

malaria-endemic countries that straddled warm climates throughout the entire world. The 1950s showed the first widespread efforts to eradicate the disease, and significant progress was made in marginally affected areas such as Europe and North America. While the programs put in place for the next decade showed promise, they were largely abandoned by the middle of the following decade, and malaria was left to run rampant throughout the rest of the world.

The recent ebola epidemic demonstrated two things: the ability of a modern na-

applied against Ebola, and at least for the time being, the spread of the latter has been halted in its tracks.

We live in a world now where pathology is becoming an increasingly abstract and technically complex science. Diseases evolve significantly faster than the organisms they infect, and once they are powerful, antibiotics are becoming far less effective than they once were. While the common American readily accepts an annual flu shot, they do so not knowing the science behind the medicine or even if the medicine is applicable to this

“The effectiveness of programs implemented currently can be compared in scope only to the near-eradication of polio, or even smallpox — keep in mind that the latter of the two was responsible for several billion deaths. Needless to say, the implications of success in this case (malaria) are huge.” tion to halt a deadly disease and the existence of disease in the human condition as a harbinger of fear. Even in New York City, a mere 45-minute train ride from the Rutgers—New Brunswick campus, regular commuters could be found wearing masks in a preemptive effort to stop the spread of a disease threatening nations more than 3,000 miles away. The true importance of the efforts against malaria are clear here: Practices learned in a renewed push to eradicate the disease were

year’s most infectious form of a constantly evolving pathogen. In considering the future difficulty of fighting diseases that have evolved past our current understanding and control, it is again important to consider the current efforts against malaria as they demonstrate practical and effective methods for reducing the potentially exponential spread of harmful and deadly disease.

Interestingly, most successful programs and methods implemented in the

fight against malaria are purely physical in nature, requiring only preemptive or non-medical administration to the populations at risk. For example, towns and villages in danger zones are screened regularly, and when a case of malaria is found, general practice is to test ever yone within 500 meters of the new case.

While this provides a basis for future medicine administration to those affected, it also provides the knowledge of risk to the general population. Where an invisible adversar y is present, knowledge is absolutely power.

The tens of thousands of students at Rutgers—New Brunswick are faced with the reality of close human contact on any given day of the academic year. Between crowded lecture halls, a transportation system used by thousands and an active social culture, students have little in the way of defense against all kinds of pathogens, save for personal awareness and hygiene. While malaria is not endemic to the United States, there is certainly much to be learned for the current war against it. At this University, perhaps the most important takeaways in this case are that preventive measures can go a long way in slowing the spread of disease, and knowledge is power.

Hillary Clinton’s sexual assault stance should be yours too COMMENTARY BRIDGET BOAYKE

T

he 2016 race for President of the United States has garnered heavy talk among all ages. However, if I’m being honest, I have to admit the discussions I have had about current candidates mirrors the conversations of celebrity gossip. If you were wondering, the answer is no, that is not a good comparison. As an undergraduate black woman, I cannot say that ever y matter addressed politically concerns me, but as a voter, I feel there is an absence in the discussion of the issues that affect my generation.

In high school I’m sure you found yourself reading the “Top Colleges for _______” rankings published on sites like The Huffington Post, Newsweek and USA Today. There were the ones about the “best” institutions for your major, to party and to play sports. Yet I don’t think I’ve ever come across a ranking of universities in America that have the best safety for women. The current estimate for sexual assault in America is ever y 1 in 5 women, and this statistic specifically ran high for assault on college campuses. With recent efforts that has been

“

made to shine a light on campus sexual assaults, it would seem like the rise in attacks on college campuses is a fairly new issue, but that is not the case. For so long, the approach to confronting and discussing sexual assault was shamed to the point where victims discount their experiences instead of coming for ward with information.

the trail of her campaign by sticking to the issues. She has highlighted systematic issues both at home and abroad, but has also backed up her points with bright policies that exude confidence.

Clinton’s campus sexual assault stance is not like the ones I’ve seen from other candidates, especially because she is the loudest and proudest about her own.

“But today, I question if the Revolution is really starting here at Rutgers University, where we deny the formal formation of sexual assault task force on our student assembly.”

I can’t help but wonder why the safety of women is still a concern and not something that can be assured. As I mentioned before, the current race for the White House has got us all in a buzz, yet I can count on my fingers the topics candidates have discussed that could help me and my fellow students, particularly those who are female. I assumed this election would be one of petty one-liners, until I read up on Hillar y Clinton.

The former Secretar y of State, senator and first lady is currently blazing

Even if there have been other candidates who stand against sexual assault, the fact that they have not been as vocal as Clinton means the other stances are just a miniature contribution to the already small attention brought to the issue. We cannot and do not deser ve a repeat of this. What we deser ve is for the voices of the assaulted to be heard and not treated as the problem.

On Sept. 14, Clinton proudly stated, “I want to send a message to ever y sur vivor of sexual assault: Don’t let anyone silence your voice. You have the right to

be heard. You have the right to be believed, and we’re with you.” Considering how victims have been made to blame themselves, given poor counseling and sometimes told the attack happened because they wanted it to, Clinton has backed up her mantra with a plan to solve campus assault with three core principles: providing comprehensive suppor t to sur vivors, ensuring a fair process for all and increasing prevention ef for ts. As secretar y of state, senator and even as a first lady, Clinton has been passionate about women’s rights, and I believe her passion can be taken to the White House, making sexual assault not just something that is condemned, but ended.

I truly believe that Hillar y Clinton is on the side of all Americans, but specifically the ones whose issues were seen as optional talking points. To Clinton, an issue like sexual assault is not a bullet point on a brochure or a question to dance around during a debate. It is something real and horrific, and will continue to terrorize women across college campuses unless the effort to end it is pushed for.

SAFETY Questionable for Indiana, Kiy Hester builds off second start with first interception

October 14, 2015 WOMEN’S SOCCER

RU offense has eyes on execution MIKE O’SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER

CONTINUED FROM BACK During the week leading up to Michigan State, he predicted he would get his hands on the football against the Spartans.

And the Rutgers rookie defensive back delivered on that promise.

“It felt good,” Hester said of his first-career pick. “I should’ve had two, two weeks ago.”

The takeaway allowed Rutgers to retain the 4-point lead heading into halftime.

Interim head coach Norries Wilson saw Hester’s pick as a pivotal play that helped the Knights maintain momentum, while keeping MSU off the scoreboard.

“It was ver y important. That was a big third down play,” Wilson said. “It got the defense off the field and stopped a going-ahead drive or an opportunity to kick a field goal to make it 14-13. So I thought that was a huge turnover for us to get.”

Unfortunately for the home team, the upset bid was quelled when Cook orchestrated the game-winning drive with 43 seconds left on the game clock.

Scott dove into the end zone from three yards out to put Sparty ahead for good, 31-24.

“It’s tough, you know,” Hester said. “Coach is always telling us, ‘You have to play four quarters,’ and that’s what it came down to, the last two minutes. You’re upset you know, you played a great team, the No. 4 team in the countr y and you were just so close.”

But the progress of the young secondar y has shown in each game and veteran leaders on the Rutgers defense have noticed.

“It’s hard,” said junior defensive tackle Julian Pinnix-Odrick.

“Coming from a guy who — I redshirted my second year, so I didn’t play until my third year and I can only imagine what it would’ve been like to jump in there in a game my freshman year — that’s a lot of pressure on those guys and I think they’re handling it well.”

After filling in for his former high school teammate, junior Davon Jacobs, Hester has made the most of his oppor tunities in 2015.

Through his first four games, he has 19 tackles (15 solo) and one for a loss to go with the interception. He ranks seventh in the Big Ten with five passes defended.

This week, the Miami transfer finds himself listed as questionable on the injur y report with a lower body injur y.

Whether he is able to go against Indiana this Saturday in Bloomington or not, the interception was a big step for the Plainfield, New Jersey, native.

And he doesn’t expect his progress to be halted here.

“I’m gonna be around the ball a lot,” Hester said postgame.

“There’s definitely positives but we still lost. As long as I’m reading my keys and executing, all four quarters, ever y game, I’m gonna be around the football.”

Soccer can be a frustrating game.

Over the course of a 90-minute match, there are moments where a team can be dominating the pace of play, making key passes and creating prime scoring opportunities.

But things can get tense when those chances are not converted into goals.

The No. 23 Rutgers women’s soccer team is in a stretch just like this. The Scarlet Knights (10-2-2, 3-2-2) have been playing aggressively on offense, but have not been able to turn their shots into goals.

Over their last two contests, a 2-0 win over Indiana and a nil-nil draw against Northwestern, the Knights have combined for 47 shots in the two games.

They have made it a point of emphasis to turn up the intensity on the offensive side of the ball to match their prowess on defense.

It has worked as far as sparking more scoring opportunities than they were getting in the beginning of the season, but they are still hoping to capitalize more often and efficiently on these chances.

“I never want to see us with our heads down because even though we haven’t been scoring like we want to, we’ve been putting together good performances,” said head coach Mike O’Neill. “From

where we started the season to where we are today, we are a much better team now.”

O’Neill and his staff are evidently pleased with the aggressiveness the Knights have shown in their offensive attack since Big Ten play began.

Despite not scoring as much as they would like, their defense has remained stout and the strength of the team.

“From where we started this season to where we are now, we are a much better team now.”

— has already posted 11 shutouts on the season, which ties the mark from each of the last two seasons.

The stinginess of the defense has allowed the Knights to lead more counterattacks and attempt more passes against opposing teams.

Confidence still remains in the offensive attack. Rutgers players feel like they are on the verge of breaking through and turning their opportunities into scores.

Seven Knights have scored game-winning goals this season, the highest total since 2010.

“The scores will come if we keep being aggressive,” said senior midfielder Samantha Valliant, who has three game-winning goals on the season. “Wins are always going to be the most important thing going into the Big Ten Tournament, no matter how we are winning. We’re just hoping to finish more of our chances and put the ball in the back of the net.”

With the rest of the regular season’s slate of Big Ten games ahead, there are crucial points for the Knights in their quest to move up the conference rankings.

Rutgers currently stands tied for fifth place in the Big Ten with their next opponent, Ohio State.

The Knights maintain an NCAA RPI of 12, which is the second-highest in the conference.

Team veterans understand the importance of the last stretch of conference games and feel that the goals are on the way.

“We’re really happy with how we have been playing and are very confident with knowing what we can do on the field,” said senior defender Brianne Reed. “We only have a few games left in the conference schedule and we are just looking to ride it out with some confidence.”

For updates on the Rutgers women’s soccer team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

ROAD Rutgers hopes to correct its past with Michigan after taking home loss last year CONTINUED FROM BACK Junior outside hitter Micaela Anderson had particularly confident feelings about the team’s Michigan road trip.

“This year … we haven’t been nervous, we haven’t changed our play. We just go out there and play Rutgers volleyball how we know (we can),” she said.

The third year outside from La Canada, California, has been a presence on the court for the Knights this year, averaging an even two kills per set played.

The only active Knights averaging over two kills per set are sophomore outside Meme Fletcher, who leads Rutgers in scoring, and junior right side Lauren Cloyd.

The second conference matchup ever between the Knights and Michigan should also be telling as to how the teams are getting used to seeing each other in competition more frequently. Senior middle blocker Eden Frazier seemed to have picked up key experience from last year’s loss to the Wolverines.

“Last year, we learned that we need to shut down their outsides,” Frazier said at Monday’s team workout. “Outsides are what most of the Big Ten teams depend on so me … and the other blockers need to work on slowing them down so the back row can pass it, and from there we can run our offense.”

Although the Rutgers remains winless in conference play this season, Luong believes the team is making serious strides towards on court success.

“I think we’re playing and competing well against these big names … I think right now, we’re there with every team, but we’re making more errors than the other team is,” Luong said Monday.

The assistant coach broke down how he sees the progression despite the losses.

“For me, it’s just to kind of see more consistency and more maintaining for the whole weekend — not just one match or one set,” Luong said.

Perhaps the best thing to see out of a team that has not won a game in almost a month is an authentic confidence in themselves to walk into an intimidating venue in a large college town and compete.

“I think that we match up very well against them (Michigan),” Anderson said. “If we just run our offense, you know, continue to push the middles and outsides … and keep them on their feet, it should be a great game.”

WIN Jason Wright’s seventh goal in five games solidifies third straight win for Rutgers CONTINUED FROM BACK and, aside from a scare in the second half where the would-be tying goal for the Quakers was called back for offside, Guzman did well in an unfamiliar position.

But when Rutgers had its usual starting 11 on the pitch, it dominated the match.

The Knights outshot Penn, 10-4, in the first half before the changes were made, but even that doesn’t show how well Rutgers was playing.

The two-minute period between the 18th and 20th minutes perfectly demonstrated the Knights’ high level of play in the opening half.

After Morgan opened the scoring with a towering header off a corner from fellow senior center back Mitch Lurie, Rutgers continued to pile on the pressure to the Quakers’ backline.

A clearance from a Penn defender bounced toward sophomore forward Miles Hackett, who cleanly hit a shot off the half-volley that rattled the far post of starting goalkeeper Max Polkinhorne’s goal in the 20th minute.

Morgan’s opening goal also opened his tally for the season.

Having only scored once in his career on the Banks prior to Tuesday, the Atlanta, Georgia, native was happy to see his header go into the back of the net.

“It felt good, obviously, to get the first goal of the season,” Morgan said. “I had a close one against Monmouth that didn’t go in, so finally being able to connect and get the goal feels good, especially as a defender since you don’t get too many chances.”

If Hackett’s shot had gone in, it would’ve given the Knights some insurance and peace of mind. Instead, Rutgers had to grind out a win against a resilient Penn side that Donigan said is “much better than their record indicates.”

With a conference matchup against Northwestern looming in the distance, Donigan believes the Knights’ defense can be improved to counteract the great players their opponents have in attack.

“Going for ward, we know we are going to have to tighten up the defense,” Donigan said. “Ever yone has weapons that can hur t you, so moving for ward we need to do a better job defensively to make sure we stay in the game and hopefully our of fense can counter with quality oppor tunities.”

FOOTBALL QUENTIN GAUSE RECORDED CAREER-HIGH 10 TACKLES AGAINST MSU

Senior’s strong performance adds promise GARRETT STEPIEN SPORTS EDITOR

As a senior captain, Quentin Gause’s leadership is unquestioned. The strong side linebacker provides a powerful vocal presence to the Rutgers football team’s locker room.

But in his last time out on the field, Gause led by example.

The Scarlet Knights (2-3, 0-2) have shot down the idea of moral victories much to this point of the season — even from their latest loss, a heart-throbbing 31-24 defeat at the hands of then-No. 4 Michigan State.

Despite the lingering sting from a final drive where the Spartans charged 76 yards in 10 plays to score the eventual game-winner with 43 seconds left, the Knights’ defense largely held its own in keeping the contest manageable.

That started with Gause’s career night. In his 44th consecutive game played on the Banks, Gause flew all over the field for Rutgers with his career-high 10 tackles.

“Just continue it,” Gause said of his performance. “And that’s what I’m gonna do, just playing what I do.”

Gause’s modest remarks don’t come as a surprise to assistant head coach Norries Wilson.

“I’m sure there’s going to be some mistakes on the film that he’s made. But he plays with a lot of emotion and he plays with a lot of heart and the kids know that when it comes from him — it’s honest and it’s genuine,” Wilson said. “And he’s not going to give them something that’s not genuine. He’s not going to ask his teammates to do something that he’s not willing to do himself. We enjoy having him as part of our program.”

The Rochester, New York, native embodied a swarming scheme from defensive coordinator

Joe Rossi that sacked Connor Bloomington, what he does exCook once and forced eight quar- pect is something that has been terback hurries. Gause supplied a foundation for the team since one of those hurries in addition to early August.

“From training camp, I know plugging the Michigan State run game early on with his two tackles we have the team to compete in this conference and ever since for loss.

But with Indiana (4-2, 0-2) and last year as well,” Gause said. “… the Hoosiers’ spread offense wait- Every single game, the team that ing for Saturday’s 3:30 p.m. ET has the least mistakes is the team conference matchup, Gause has that’s gonna win the game. We already moved on from his last had a couple. But like I said, we gotta move onto Indiana and fotime out on the field.

But when Rutgers returns enough to know that if they can’t to the field later on this week in go, they can’t.”

Sudfeld opened the season as the starting quarterback for the Hoosiers before suffering an ankle injur y in a narrow 3427 defeat to No. 1 Ohio State on Oct. 3. Rutgers faced Diamont in last year’s 45-23 Senior Day win over the Hoosiers on Nov. 15, holding him to 15-of-31 passing for 171 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

While the possibility of three quarterbacks keeps the Knights honest in their defensive preparation, Flood feels as if he knows who Indiana will trot out under center come game day.

“My gut tells me Nate’s gonna be healthy and gonna be ready to go,” Flood said during the Big Ten Coach’s Week 7 Teleconference on Tuesday. “He’s a spectacular player when he’s in there and when he was in there at the beginning of the year, did a great job for them — seven touchdowns, only one interception — really makes that offense go.”

On top of his touchdown-to-interception mark, Sudfeld has thrown for 1,277 yards on 87-of-147 passing. Diamont drops off heavily in the pass game going 15-of-31 for 166 yards, doing more with his legs on 18 carries, 136 yards and two touchdowns.

Regardless of who starts for Indiana, Gause said Rutgers would prepare for all three.

“With their quarterback, the second string from last year, we’ve seen him already,” Gause said of Diamont. “We’ve just gotta continue to prepare, watch the film from last year against them and also then compare what they’re doing this year to other teams. We’re just gonna look at the small things and just go off of that.”

Safety makes splash with interception

RU looks to gain traction on road trip

With six minutes remaining in the first half, the Rutgers football team held a tenuous 14-10 lead over then-No. 4 Michigan State.

After the Spartans marched 68 yards down the field, following wide receiver Aaron Burbridge’s diving catch near the sideline, Sparty set up first-and-goal at the Scarlet Knights’ 8-yard line.

It was a familiar stor yline for college football fans. The decided underdogs jump out to an early lead and shows some fight before the favorites shake themselves and rally to put the game out of reach before halftime.

But redshirt-freshman Kiy Hester wrote a different script last Saturday night at High Point Solutions Stadium.

“I saw No. 3 (LJ Scott) and (quarterback) Connor (Cook) staring him down so I just broke on the ball,” Hester said. “He pointed at him, kinda like a scramble drill.

And that’s when I just ran to his hip, I saw him throw it and I jumped in front of it.”

The rookie safety jumped the route and tipped the ball in the air before collecting it to his body and dragging both feet along the back of the end zone to ensure the interception, the first of his collegiate career.

In Hester’s first-career star t against Kansas on Sept. 26, the strong safety was unable to haul in two would-be interceptions.

The Rutgers volleyball team returns to action on Wednesday night in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for a showdown with the No. 24 Wolverines. The Scarlet Knights (3-15, 0-6) look to turn their season around after a weekend where the team played well despite suf fering losses to two ranked opponents.

For the first time this season, Rutgers experienced a short week in practice, with only two days off after they lost at home on Sunday to No. 11 Minnesota. During its shortened week, the team worked in the weight room and film room, taking a day off from volleyball activity.

Assistant coach Phuong Luong cited the recent increase in workload for the Knights as a reason for the light Monday practice before a travel day on Tuesday.

“We don’t want them to have to go through the whole Big Ten season being exhausted,” Luong said, mentioning the team’s high number of injuries as another reason for a day off from on-court practice.

Heading into Michigan on Tuesday, Rutgers looks to rebound from its matchup with the Wolverines last year. In the first ever conference meeting between the two volleyball programs, the Knights lost in three straight sets on their home court.

Proclaiming that its struggles with Michigan of a year ago were partially due to first year jitters, Rutgers looks to make a statement on the road this week.

If scoring goals is wrong, Jason doesn’t want to be Wright.

Sophomore forward Jason Wright continued his phenomenal form Tuesday night in Philadelphia when he sealed the Rutgers men’s soccer team’s 2-0 win against Penn with a goal one minute before the final whistle blew.

The Kingston, Jamaica, native received the ball in acres of space and ran toward the Quakers’ goal, rounded Penn substitute goalkeeper Etan Mobourahk and slid the ball into the empty net for his seventh goal in his past five matches.

The goal was the cherry on top of a big day for Wright. Earlier in the afternoon, the Big Ten’s top goalscorer (10) was announced as both the Big Ten and NSCAA Player of the Week, as well as a member of TopDrawerSoccer’s team of the week.

Redshirt-freshman safety Kiy Hester said his first-career interception “felt good.”

Wright’s goal confirmed the Scarlet Knights’ (7-4-1, 2-3-0) first three-game winning streak of the season at a time when Penn was threatening to equalize the match. The Quakers (2-7-1, 1-1-0) improved massively in the second half, forcing junior goalkeeper David Greczek to make a couple of pivotal saves to preserve the Knights’ fourth clean sheet of the season.

Penn grew into the game around the same time Rutgers made a number of changes to the 11 that started the match at Rhodes Field.

Senior center back Drew Morgan, who opened the scoring for the Knights, was pulled from the game and sophomore rightback Niel Guzman took his place.

The core of a defense is a formula that coaches tend not to tweak, but head coach Dan Donigan gambled with a minimal lead SEE WIN ON PAGE 15
