Student assembly passes bill to allow students to text RUPD AVALON ZOPPO ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The University has taken numerous measures in response to crime around campus, from distributing window alarms to creating the College Avenue Priority Patrol.

To help further student safety, the Rutgers University Student Assembly passed a bill last night to fund a texting system that would allow students to text the police during emergencies.

“One thing all of you have a responsibility to do is combat the issue of students not feeling safe

on campus,” said Mohamed Asker, commuter representative for RUSA. “This is one of the best ways of doing that.”

The system, which has a $15,000 estimated cost for the next semester, is being backed by multiple school organizations, including the Rutgers Business Governing

Association, Rutgers Housing Association, SEBS Governing Council and the Rutgers Inter-Fraternity Council. These organizations collectively contributed $6,000.

“This is something that can make students safer. This is what RUSA should be investing in,” said Matt Panconi, president of RUSA.

The Rutgers Office of Student Affairs and University Affairs has been discussing the possibility of a texting system with the Rutgers University Police Department (RUPD) for the past three months. As per the 24/7 system, SEE BILL ON PAGE 4

Bringing scientists scattered throughout the nation together normally requires a large conference, but on Nov. 12, the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences

Institute (EOHSI) on Busch campus saw more than a dozen speakers and more guests to celebrate the life and work of Paul Lioy.

Lioy, who died suddenly in July, was one of the original members of EOHSI and at the time of his passing was the director of

Exposure Science, said Brian Buckley, executive director of Laboratories. He was instrumental in expanding the field.

“Paul was a force in the field of exposure science, (which) looks SEE LIFE ON PAGE 5

Soon Rutgers students will have access to Sakai, straight from their phone, an iOS app designed specifically for using the Rutgers site.

The app was created this year by Alastair Hendricks, co-founder of Tiger Bytes, and his team, operating from Cape Town, South Africa.

The Android app will be available for use after a few fixtures in early December, Hendricks said.

“I used to be a student at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. I got frustrated with there being no app for their Sakai and developed one in 2013, which is used by over 20,000 students at the University,” Hendricks said.

Then he started a company called Tiger Bytes in 2013, a student-run company comprised of students form multiple universities around Cape Town.

Tiger Bytes’ aim is to revolutionize the learning experience by producing e-learning products, according to their website.

The company uses swift programming language for iOS development

and Java programming language for Android, Hendricks said.

In 2015, Kingston launched “Universe,” an app to connect students to their universities, enabling them to access their online course content on the go, according to their website.

Universe is an app that can work at any university or school that uses Sakai, Kingston said. It can support 40 learning institutions worldwide, which is expected to double in January 2016.

“Currently we are running the pilot with a handful of South African and U.S. universities in order to offer the best experience,” Kingston said. “Accessing learning materials should be as simple as ever ything else in your daily life and yet it isn’t. We want to change that.”

Rutgers and New York University were included in their pilots in order to better understand the needs of students in a U.S. context and hope that the University Office of Information Technology would help support applications like these, Kingston said.

Bernard Goldstein, dean of the University of Pittsburgh and one of the founders of EOHSI, speaks on the afternoon of Nov. 12. COURTESY OF WILSON RODRIGUEZ

LIFE Buckley says researchers, former graduate students came to symposium to celebrate Lioy’s work CONTINUED FROM FRONT

at the exposure to contaminants by individuals from the air to soil to water,” Buckley said. “He was a pioneer in the field and folks are just paying homage.”

Lioy’s research in exposure science impacted public policy nationwide, earning recognition from the Environmental Protection Agency and leading to certain policies, Buckley said.

The most notable of these studies were on the pesticide chlorpyrifos, which used to be applied indoors, he said.

Lioy was also a part of the team that discovered the compound’s long life indoors, Buckley said.

“When it was applied to a room it stayed around in soft furniture, bedding (and) most impor tantly it stayed around in soft plush toys for weeks,” he said. “So we did some studies on that ... and on kids and found they had elevated metabolites for an extended period of time.”

How children were exposed to lead and chromium was also researched by Lioy, Buckley said.

“The thing he’s most famous for is he was part of the

response team to the World Trade Center five days after 9/11,” he said. “He collected the dust, he analyzed (it and) he eventually wrote a book ... where he discusses the potential human health effects because of (dust).”

When EOHSI was originally founded by former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean, one of the speakers, Lioy was the first recruit, Kean said. Lioy was responsible for introducing the Institute to “controlled environment studies” and designed the third-floor facility the building still uses.

“It’s where you clean the air, so there’s no contaminants and you ... can compare to people breathing normal air,” Kean said.

This facility helps ensure that the contaminant being studied is not mixed with other airborne ones, he said.

The different researchers and former graduate students Lioy worked with over the last several decades came to the symposium to celebrate the work he did and “relive old stories,” Buckley said.

He credited Clifford Weisel and Panos Georgopoulos,

professors in EOHSI, with bringing the attendees together for the event.

“Some of these folks I haven’t seen in 20 years or more (and) many of these guys are faculty members elsewhere,” he said.

“Paul was my ver y good friend, and ... in addition to all of the science we did together, he was my Yankee buddy.”

Lioy had two unripped tickets to “the perfect game” pitched by former Yankee Don Larsen in 1956, Buckley said. One of these tickets was later donated to the Yogi Berra museum in exchange for a picture signed by both players of Berra jumping onto Larsen after that game.

“He actually became a friend to Yogi Berra too,” Buckley said.

“I know he would have loved to be remembered just for being the ultimate Yankee fan.”

NOV. 12 ELIZABETH — Tiffany Moore, 24, of Newark, pleaded guilty to a manslaughter charge for the killing of 19-year-old East Orange resident Felicia Hester, acting Union County Prosecutor Grace Park said. Superior Court Judge Scott J. Moynihan imposed a 22-year sentence on Moore for the fatal shooting that occurred outside of an Elizabeth nightclub in 2011. Moore is a confirmed member of the Piru set of the Bloods street gang and is required to serve at least 85 percent of her prison sentence, police said.

NOV. 12 PATERSON — Police are investigating an armed robber y that occurred at the China Tastes restaurant on Broadway on Wednesday night. Police officers responded to a call while the robber y was in progress at 10:57 p.m., Detective Sgt. Michael McDonald said. Witnesses inside the restaurant said a masked man entered the establishment wielding a small black handgun. It is unclear how much money the gunman stole. The robber fired two shots in the direction the employees, though none of them were injured, McDonald said.

NOV. 12 TRENTON — Linda Miller, 58, of Englewood, was indicted on theft by deception charges for allegedly stealing $128,131 in Social Security benefits on behalf on her mother, who died in 2006, until July 2014. Miller had

the benefits sent from via direct deposit into a bank account with her own name, according to the state Attorney General's office.

Miller was also recently charged for a similar scheme in New York, where her mother received a state pension, law enforcement officials said.

NOV. 12 MONROE — The Monroe Township Police Department is investigating a witness report that a young girl was inappropriately touched by a man in the cosmetic aisle at the CVS on Applegarth Road between 6 and 6:20 p.m. on Wednesday evening. The department is asking a mother and daughter, who both left the scene before police arrived, to contact the Detective Bureau at (732) 521-0222. Police do not know if the mother is aware of the incident, according to a press release issued Thursday.

NOV. 12 HAMILTON —A 24-yearold woman who was shot in the arm in her home at East State Street was later charged for dealing marijuana, along with her roommate. Police officers found the woman suffering from a gunshot wound that was not life-threatening, a Hamilton Police Department spokesman said. The woman told police that two unknown people — a male wearing a black hoodie and a woman wearing a yellow hoodie — broke into her home and shot her.

Students across US march over debt, free public college

Graduating students listen to U.S. President Barack Obama speak at the University of Michigan commencement ceremony in Ann Arbor, Michigan May 1, 2010. REUTERS Students held demonstrations on university campuses across the United States on Thursday to protest ballooning student loan debt for higher education and rally for tuition-free public colleges.

The demonstrations, dubbed the Million Student March, were planned just two days after thousands of fast-food workers took to the streets in a nationwide day of action pushing for a $15-an-hour minimum wage and union rights for the industry.

About 50 students from Boston-area colleges gathered at Northeastern University carrying signs that read “Degrees not receipts” and “Is this a school or a corporation?”

“The student debt crisis is awful. Change starts when people demand it in the street. Not in the White House,” said Elan Axelbank, 20, a third year student at Northeastern, who said he was a co-founder of the national action.

Photos and videos posted on Twitter, where #MillionStudentMarch was trending worldwide, showed marches involving dozens to hundreds of demonstrators at schools including Texas State, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and Depaul University in Chicago.

A few hundred students rallied on the campus of the historically progressive University of

California Berkeley, and posted placards on the outside of a class building showing their individual student debt loads, ranging from just several thousand dollars to more than $100,000.

Organizers are demanding tuition-free public colleges, cancellation of all student debt and a $15-an-hour minimum wage for campus workers.

The total volume of outstanding U.S. student loan debt has more than doubled to $1.2 trillion, according to the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, compared with less than $600 billion in 2006.

Saddled with debt that can sometimes run into hundreds of

thousands of dollars, many college graduates struggle to make payments amid an ailing economy and job market.

Dealing with swiftly mounting student loan debt has been a focus of candidates vying for the White House in 2016.

Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders, who has vowed to make tuition free at public universities and colleges, and has pledged to cut interest rates for student loans, tweeted in support of the movement on Thursday afternoon.

His rival Hillary Clinton has said she would increase access to tuition grants, let graduates refinance loans at lower interest rates,

and streamline income-based repayment plans.

Florida U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, the most prominent Republican candidate to lay out a concrete proposal, says he would establish an income-based repayment system for federal student loans and would simplify applications for federal aid.

Demonstrators on Thursday also widened their message to echo protests at the University of Missouri, three days after the school’s former president resigned amid student anger over failure to address racial discrimination on campus.

Rad Cat stops by Hidden Grounds just in time for sweater weather JANINE PUHAK STAFF WRITER

The hot coffee brewed as people poured through the doors of Hidden Grounds coffee shop last Thursday evening, seeking haven from the chilly rain and seeking a new fall wardrobe.

A beloved Easton Avenue coffee spot, Hidden Grounds frequently hosts pop-up shops for artisan vendors, but none share the special connection quite like the one with Rad Cat. MK Rix, the brand’s founder, curator and chief operator, dreamt up the vision for the label while still a Mason Gross School of the Arts student only a few years ago. Coincidentally, they are working as one of the original Hidden Grounds baristas.

Citing independent clothing houses like Lazy Oaf as inspirations, it’s often the interactions with common objects that best spark Rix’s curiosity.

“I am always interested in different textures, colors, tactile things, the balance between playful and dark,” Rix said.

Offering a stretch of high-quality new, used and vintage clothing,

the sale was specifically targeted at fashion forward Rutgers students as they approach the winter season.

An eclectic mix of velvets, cable knits, meshes and sparkles, Rix promoted outwear catering to the fashion tastes from the simple to the cosmopolitan, but knits are just the tip of the iceberg.

Sleek jumpsuits, button downs, dresses and leggings, handmade jewelry, patches and pins were featured at a fraction of the cost compared to stores like Urban Outfitters and Free People. So it’s no surprise that Rad Cat has been booming since the label’s inception in 2013.

Based across the river in Highland Park, the online shop has generated a national following.

“It would be a dream to invest in a motor vehicle camper and sell our clothes across the country,” Rix said.

Rad Cat’s success is the clearest reflection of Rix’s own determination. When asked to share a piece of wisdom with Rutgers students who wish to one day pursue their own entrepreneurial endeavors, Rix advises young hopefuls to take themselves seriously.

“If you aren’t confident, no one else will be,” Rix said. “You have to have an endurance that borders stubbornness, while keeping an open ear to the people around you, and an open mind to their ideas.”

Here were some of our favorite pieces from Rad Cat’s collection that will keep you cozy and cool to and through the next snow day.

CLASSIC FLANNELS

Considering that plaid never goes out of style, investing in a favorite tartan is truly a purchase for all seasons.

Layer up with a vest for commuting to class, tie it around your waist when gearing up for a night out or wear it alone as you relax beside a midnight bonfire with friends.

The kelly green and black pattern, in addition to the adjustable button drop sleeve, is on point for both ladies and gentlemen, making it a great gift regardless of whose name you pull for your circle’s annual holiday gift exchange.

VELVET LEOTARDS

Resist the primitive urges to drop your social life in favor of taking the “Netflix and chill” route the

MK Rix is Rad Cat’s founder. ACHINT RAINCE / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER moment the temperature drops below 40 degrees — in favor of simply dressing smartly for nighttime.

While there’s no word in yet as to whether the leotard’s recent comeback can be attributed to a combination of leftover Halloween costumes and our laziness, we do know that pairing a neutral velvet bodysuit with a gem-toned skirt or skinny corduroy pant is a style victory.

PATTERNED SWEATERS

It’s a major fashion myth that investing in reliable winter clothing

has to break the bank. Comfort and longevity doesn’t necessarily have to follow an expensive price tag.

Rad Cat’s ultra fun patterned sweaters, richly detailed with designs like teddy bears, stars and roses are absolutely worth the bang for their slim buck. Sure to keep you toasty warm, embellish with a similarly toned scarf for a monochromatic look as you head out the door.

Waking up for class is tough, but remembering you are essentially walking around in a socially acceptable Snuggie makes it easier.

One organization is notable in the impact it has made on the issue of prison reform. We laurel the Mountainview Project Student Organization for working with at-risk youths and inmates through direct contact by mentoring, tutoring and conducting seminars to promote the pursuit of higher education.

It is well-known that attending university is expensive, so there is a lot of pressure to make it worth your while.

This dart goes to the NCAA for its inconvenient rules against trivial violations.

The inefficiency of the University’s transportation system continues to be a problem, so it helps to have additional and alternative modes of transportation. The University Rideshare group, a program that encourages carpooling, has emerged on campus. We laurel Rideshare for helping to cut down on carbon dioxide emissions, time and cost.

Students have had mixed opinions about the proliferation of ribbon cutting ceremonies this year, but these new establishments will ultimately add to the architecture and aesthetic of the University. We laurel developments, such as The Yard @ College Avenue, for long-term enhancements to the University despite the shortterm cumbersome constructions.

Lately Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) is known more for his shenanigans on Amtrak trains and his presidential campaign than his work in his home state of New Jersey. But on Monday, Christie vetoed most of a package of bills aimed at helping Atlantic City and its struggling casino industry. We dart Christie for not doing enough for New Jersey and potentially hurting its cities.

Hardy’s punishment for assaulting girlfriend is too light THE MORANT RYAN MORAN

I

don’t get it, how do people support Dallas Cowboys player Greg Hardy? He is a worthless piece of trash, an awful human being. This opinion is based on his arrest from one year and a half ago among other incidents and comments.

Recently, on Nov. 6, Deadspin had published an article title “This Is Why NFL Star Greg Hardy Was Arrested For Assaulting His Ex-Girlfriend.” It documents the incidents of that day as well as showcasing 47 pictures that had never before been seen, some of Hardy, but most of his ex-girlfriend, the victim, Nicole Holder.

Not once has Hardy apologized for what he did, nor did he even release a public apology to the victim. On Nov. 7 he tweeted, “Just had to say I express my regret 4 what happened in past and I’m Dedicated to being the best person & teammate that I can be.”

Oh, that’s cool. You regret (allegedly) assaulting your girlfriend? You regret throwing her on top of assault rifles and threatening her life? How can anyone take this guy seriously? The case didn’t even make it to a trial. Why? Likely because Greg Hardy paid her off, a fact that leads me to the NFL. It seems no one has a clue how to deal with discipline in the NFL — Roger Goodell,

that’s you. The entire system of discipline has failed in the NFL. Hardy got a 10-game suspension during the offseason that, after appeal by an arbitrator from the National Football League Players Association, was reduced to four games. Four games, basically saying that his crime is the equivalent of smoking pot. Smoking pot and physically abusing a human being should not even be in the same realm when talking about suspension consequences.

The Cowboys failed the NFL and its fans.

Look, I’m a Giants fan, and I hate the Cowboys, so maybe I’ll sound biased, but I was

Hmm, okay. You’re team is 2-6 and going nowhere. You can blame the injuries, but I think it’s just karma for a poorly run organization. Right now would be the best time to cut Hardy to please NFL fans and women around the country, but nope, Jones continues to support him. In fact, he said he’s thinking about giving him a long-term extension, proving that Jones will never understand.

The Cowboys say they never saw the photos of what Hardy had done, but considering that there were multiple 911 calls, and also knowing it wasn’t pretty, you’d think they would have backed off. Also, their fans

“Not once has Hardy apologized for what he did, nor did he even release a public apology to the victim. On Nov. 7 he tweeted, ‘Just had to say I express my regret 4 what happened in past and I’m Dedicated to being the best person & teammate that I can be.’” outraged when they signed him. I called it at the beginning of free agency for one simple reason — Jerry Jones. The man loves attention, both good and bad, but at what point does this thickheaded owner wake up and realize he’s employing a moron?

Jones recently came out calling Hardy a leader and then followed it up saying he doesn’t condone domestic violence. Wait, what? Exactly. The man is ridiculous, it’s all about the success for Jerry Jones.

on Twitter have been driving me nuts. One would think they wouldn’t support this guy, would they? But they do, even their female fans. It’s just sad. Most explained if the Cowboys cut him, someone else would pick him up. No they wouldn’t, because no other organization is dumb enough to employ a psychopath and bring such a bad publicity to their organization.

If we could go back in time and look at the situation with fresh eyes, I honestly think

I would have just gave him the Pete Rose treatment. In fact, I think he should still be given it today. A player like this doesn’t belong anywhere close to the game. He gives it a bad name and a bad look.

The Carolina Panthers, Hardy’s former employer, knew exactly what they were doing. They handled the situation. After more findings were released after Week 1 of the 2014 season, the Panthers put him on the NFL’s exempt list. He didn’t play another down for Carolina missing the final 16 games of their season.

I think ESPN anchor Wendy Nix put it best: there will be outcry, but actions speak louder than words and money is most important in Jerry Jones’s eyes. So the Cowboys’ biggest sponsors should take a stand and send a message by threatening to end their deals. Maybe that would wake up Jerry. It is pretty sad that it would take a materialistic thing, like money to do this.

The writing was on the wall with Hardy whether it was about his Twin Towers comment, or among many other poor decisions that have been well-publicized. The reality of this situation is that Greg Hardy should not be in the NFL, but apparently talent trumps all and it’s disappointing to see.

Hardy better watch his back for the rest of the season — he has a target on it.

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show isn’t worth stressing over THE SCARLET TROTTER BIYA HAQ

I

t’s that time of the year again, ladies and gentlemen. The event that has all the boys drooling and all the girls bawling, the annual experience that will have you running to the gym — yeah, you’ve guessed it! It’s time for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Now don’t freak out, you guys didn’t miss it. Though the actual show took place earlier this week, the end result and final taping won’t be aired until Dec. 4, so mark those calendars. But if you guys checked your Snapchat lately, you would have seen the exclusive sneak peeks into the show directed by ... no one special, just basically all the actual angels who were in the show.

Needless to say everyone looked amazing.

Feathers, pink silk robes and the occasional celebrity here and there — pretty much just like my own Snapchat stories, obviously.

Personally, I love watching the show.

It’s basically a mini version of “Carnival,” except it’s not in Rio and Ellie Goulding probably wouldn’t stand in the middle of all the madness while belting out her songs.

I mean, a girl can dream, but for now let’s just stick with reality. But I always hear girls groaning and moaning at the commercials and Instagram posts of all the angels

“

walking down the runway. The, comments like, “Wow I hate her so much, can I be her?” or, “Literally, like no one looks like that, so not fair,” or the “Pass me the Ben & Jerry’s” are just a few of the self-loathing thoughts that abound while watching the show. I mean I do get it — these women are supermodel “glamazons” who seem like they floated down from the heavens to grace us with their presence in bejeweled lingerie and 20-pound feathered wings.

Of course we’re all going to be envious of them, they’re Victoria’s Secret supermodel angels, seriously, who in their right mind wouldn’t want to be Adriana Lima?

look like Victoria’s Secret angels. It doesn’t matter how many hours we slave away at the gym, how many lean cuisines we eat or how many juice cleanses we put ourselves through. We will never be them. Want to know why?

It is their job. Their occupation that requires each and every one of them to look the way they do. They don’t just sit around, eating buckets of Nutella in silk robes until it’s time to show off their rock hard abs to the world. They train for the show every single day. They work extremely hard with trainers, nutritionists and experts to maintain their bodies. According to an interview

“What I’m trying to get at here is that we have to stop comparing ourselves to them … It doesn’t matter how many hours we slave away at the gym, how many lean cuisines we eat or how many juice cleanses we put ourselves through.

We will never be them.”

But ladies, here’s the thing — that’s the whole point. These women are specially selected, trained and tailored to be in one of the most widely watched shows in the entire world. It’s like the Super Bowl — but with underwear.

What I’m trying to get at here is that we have to stop comparing ourselves to them.

I’m going to say it — and I’m probably going to be hated for it, and that doesn’t matter — but you and I will never, ever, ever

with Yolanda Foster, super model Gigi Hadid’s mother — Gigi auditioned for the show twice and was turned down both times before finally being offered the gig. And that’s Gigi Hadid. “People have built shrines in her honor, and I heard she does car commercials, in Japan.” She’s a goddess in her own right, and she wasn’t even allowed to walk down that runway.

Secondly, these women were pretty much born this way. Their genes gave them

their hyper-human qualities that enable them to be supermodels — essentially the perfect combination of height and weight.

People say that being naturally thin is a genetic thing, particularly for these women. It is literally in their blood.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is a spectacle. It is a parade to show off the brand’s merchandise through a huge blowout party and fashion show that keeps the company relevant year after year. But once the glitter settles and the balloons are popped, the magic is gone. It’s not a big deal! So to all the women out there who feel threatened by the VS fashion show, stop making it a big deal.

And for me, the show is a huge source of inspiration. I have always wanted to be 6 feet tall, and I still wish for it ever y birthday, even though I’ll never get my wish. But more realistically, the show always gives me the motivation to work out. And just look at Hadid, she’s not a typical runway model, but she is a huge success. Ladies, think abs and cur ves — think Hadid.

At the end of the day, it’s just a silly parade. So grab yourself a burger, a shake and some fries, plop down on that couch and enjoy the show.

FINAL

VOLLEYBALL RUTGERS-ILLINOIS, TOMORROW, 8 P.M.

Knights look to repeat performance from 1-0 win against OSU earlier in season CONTINUED FROM BACK Ohio State suffered in Columbus this year came in the second game of the season against Binghamton on Aug. 30.

With an average of 1,071 fans turning out every match, the Buckeyes have nearly twice as many fans per game as Rutgers.

But once the ball is kicked off, none of that will make a difference to the players the fans pay to watch.

“I really don’t,” Donigan said on whether he thinks playing away will make a difference. “I think we cross those white lines and that whistle blows and we’re matched up against a team we’ve already played and a team we’re fortunate to have already beat and gotten three points from, there’s no nerves at that point.

It’s just all adrenaline and emotions and at that point, you feed off of what you’ve already accomplished this whole season.”

The last time the Knights went on the road, their five-game winning streak in games outside of Piscataway was snapped in College Park in a 2-0 loss to Maryland.

In order to achieve the same success they had against Ohio State the first time around, they’ll have to shake off the loss to the Terrapins and play the way they have all season.

“Hopefully we can get the same result, but we just gotta take it day-by-day and when we get to the game, we’ll have to focus in and play to our ability unlike what we did at Maryland,” said senior midfielder Mitchell Taintor.

Sophomore forward Jason Wright, the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, doesn’t even want to address all the factors that could affect his team

negatively, choosing rather to look on the bright side.

“The only factor (we take into account) is going to play something positive, in the sense that the program hasn’t been in this spot in a long time and we’re all excited for the progress that the program has made,” he said. “It’s a semifinal, it’s a big contest and I think we’re ready for it.”

The fourth-seeded Knights reached the penultimate stage of the Big Ten Tournament by defeating fifth seed Northwestern 2-0 in the quarterfinals last Sunday. The Buckeyes, meanwhile, squeezed by eighth seed Penn State, 1-0, in extra-time to get to this point in the competition.

If Rutgers defeats Ohio State and advances to the Big Ten Tournament final, it will await the winner of the other semifinal between second seed Indiana and third seed Maryland.

While not looking too far ahead and choosing to focus on the current obstacle in his team’s way, Donigan has endless confidence in his troops. He believes they can win the whole competition regardless of who they face in the final.

“Absolutely, no question,” he said on whether winning the tournament is the goal. “What would be the point of going out there if we didn’t? … We all want to win this postseason, not just for the automatic qualifier, but just for the right to say we won the postseason tournament in one of the best conferences in the country. That’s what we set out for every year and to be this close, it’s that much more exciting for us.”

RU looks to return to win column JOE BRAUNER STAFF WRITER

The Rutgers volleyball team hits the road for the Midwest in its second matchup of the season with No. 16 Illinois.

The Scarlet Knights (4-23, 1-14) seem to finally be feeling the burden of playing in the nation’s strongest volleyball conference after losing their sixth straight match on Wednesday night against Indiana.

Since sealing their biggest victory of the year at home against Big Ten rival Maryland, Rutgers has not looked the same.

Immediately following what was arguably the biggest win for the program in school history, the Knights traveled to Maryland and were defeated in four sets by the same team they rallied from behind to beat just days before.

Going back to the loss at Maryland, Rutgers has now lost 18 sets in a row.

Its final five games of the year do not offer any mercy for the struggling Knights. On Saturday night in Champaign, Illinois, Rutgers will go toe-to-toe with a Fighting Illini team that dominated them the last time the two teams met in New Brunswick.

The then-No. 9 team in the country disposed of the Knights in three sets, none of which were particularly close, by set scores of 25-20, 25-8 and 25-16.

Since then, Illinois has fallen in the rankings due to losses to most of the serious contenders in the Big Ten, including Wisconsin, Penn State, Nebraska, Purdue and, most recently, Ohio State.

With all these losses to in-conference opponents, there is no reason that Rutgers can’t join the long list of Big Ten teams that have beaten the Fighting Illini.

Always one for optimism and staying focused on the process and not always the results, head coach CJ Werneke talked about how his team looks to improve against the No. 16 team in the country on Saturday.

“We talk about some of the things that we did well against them last time, some of the things that they took advantage of that we didn’t do so well,” Werneke said at practice Monday.

“We’re a much different team than we were at that time, and we have an opportunity to show them that and give them more of a competitive match … our goal is to win so hey, lets stick to the process … lets go out there and show them what we’ve got now.”

Lately, the Knights have been an improved team on the offensive side of the ball. Rutgers has found a way to incorporate more of its front row players into the offensive attack rather than solely relying on heavy hits from sophomore outside Meme Fletcher.

The return of junior middle blocker Mikaela Matthews and the continued strong performances from junior right side Lauren Cloyd have been a big part of this spike in offense.

Cloyd, an Illinois native, has been looking forward to this return home for quite some time.

“I’m definitely looking forward to playing in front of all of my friends and family. Champaign

is my hometown, so everyone I know is coming out to the game, so I’m real excited for that,” Cloyd said. “I’m just really looking forward to competing against them again, and hopefully coming out and winning.”

In order to make her trip home a successful one, Cloyd will need to worry about the team on the other side of the net.

It will be aiming to make sure seeing friends and family is the only good part about the Illinois native’s homecoming.

“They have some pretty strong middles. We need to slow them down,” Cloyd said of Illinois’ front row.

The Fighting Illini’s front row is led by freshman middle blocker Ali Bastianelli, who despite being a freshman, ranks 39th in the country in blocks per set.

Bastianelli is only the tip of the iceberg when it come to the powerful Illinois talent on the court. Coupled with junior middle blocker Katie Stadick, who stands at 6-foot-3 and is an offensive force in the Illini offense, the duo could mean trouble for the Knights.

Despite this being a game Rutgers could easily find itself overpowered in, Cloyd is confident that if her team plays to its potential, it could be a close game.

“If we block like we can and play defense like we can, I think we can stop them and definitely slow them down,” she said.

TOURNAMENT Knights hosts Fairleigh Dickinson to kick off their NCAA Tournament campaign CONTINUED FROM BACK that game behind us and looking forward to the next game, which is always the most important one … The players were disappointed because they wanted more, but we are also proud of what we have accomplished and are looking to get back on the field on Friday.”

Friday marks the 10th NCAA Tournament appearance for the Knights. They are 7-7-4 all-time in NCAA Tournament play, including a 2-0 home victory over La Salle in the first round of last year’s tournament.

Many of the players on this year’s team got a taste of the tournament last season, and are hoping to make it further this season.

“We’ve talked since the preseason about making it far in the postseason,” said junior midfielder Jennifer Andresen. “We were happy to get to the Big Ten Championship and now we have more goals we hope to accomplish by seeing how we can play in the NCAA Tournament.”

Rutgers is not a stranger to big games.

It has played four games against ranked opponents, posting a 3-1 record in those games.

Sophomore goalkeeper Casey Murphy has been a big reason for the team’s success in these games, as she has allowed only one goal in the three victories.

She is looking forward to her second year playing in the NCAA Tournament and believes the team will take the same approach that make them so successful during the regular season.

“Every game is really important to us and we know that the next game is always the most critical one because if we don’t play well, we won’t be able to advance,” Murphy said. “So our mentality is to focus on each game by itself and it has really worked for us motivates us to survive and advance in the tournament.”

WRESTLING

Knights open season in Philadelphia MIKE O’SULLIVAN CORRESPONDENT

As the preseason preparations start to wind down, the Rutgers women’s basketball team believes it is ready to take the next step forward in building from last year’s inaugural season in the Big Ten. The Scarlet Knights have spent the bulk of the offseason working on integrating a new mix of freshmen to play with their seniors, along with trying to improve their outside shooting.

Three-point shooting was a problem area for the Knights’ last season and they have made it a point of emphasis to become more efficient in that phase of the game in year two.

Rutgers averaged just 2.3 three-point field goals per game last season, which ranked them 338 out of 343 Division I teams.

They plan to get off to a better start this season in that regard as they prepare to play two road contests to start their year.

The season opens Friday in Philadelphia against St. Joseph’s and continues on Monday on a trip to in-state rival Seton Hall.

These games should give them good opportunities to implement some new players and give the coaches an understanding of the areas that need to be improved upon as the season goes along.

“As I begin to think about how to make our Scarlet Knights better, there are certain categories where we need to see us get better statistically to make a difference,” said head coach C. Vivian Stringer. “We know we were one of the lowest teams in the country in three-point shooting percentage, and we have worked hard to improve in that area and make sure that we can make three point shots.”

On a team that has struggled with outside shooting, the most prolific Knight from beyond the arc last season was Cynthia Hernandez.

The senior guard led the team with a 42.2-percent clip from 3-point range, knocking down 27of-64 of her attempts.

She is expected to see an increase in playing time this season after transferring from Ventura College (California), where she played for two years.

Her shooting ability should spur Rutgers in their quest to improve its 3-point percentage in a player who can also help teach everyone some of that technique.

“We know that 3-point shots are a big thing, so we’ve been working on them every day to get better at them,” Hernandez said.

“We’re shooting a lot of threes in practice and I think we will see some better results this year.”

The message from a senior leader like Hernandez and the

coaching staff has already gotten through to the younger players on the team.

Freshman guard Ashli Jeune redshirted last season and has already noticed a change in training from last year.

“As a team, we have all been working on our shots and we all want to be better 3-point shooters,” she said. “Our goal in every practice is to make shots. Coach Stringer puts a big emphasis on it in practice. We need to make our shots and be more efficient.”

The Knights are ready to get their season underway.

They opened last season against St. Joseph’s, beating the Hawks, 76-52.

Junior guard Tyler Scaife led all scorers that game with 23 points, and her and the rest of the team’s efforts to improve their shooting in the offseason has the coaching staff excited.

“I have to calm myself down at this point of the year because I’m anxious. I want things to get done yesterday,” Stringer said.

“We have outstanding coaches paying attention to the details and the players understand what it takes to function at the highest levels.”

RU to face ranked opponents at duals ERIC MULLIN STAFF WRITER

The Rutgers wrestling team has been looking forward to this Sunday’s meet for a long time.

The No. 17 Knights (3-0) travel to Troy, New York, to participate in the Journeymen/Asics Northeast Duals. Sunday’s quad meet will be the first true test for Rutgers, which will be pitted against three nationally ranked opponents in No. 13 North Carolina, No. 22 Oklahoma and No. 25 Northern Iowa.

The Knights will face the tough competition that awaits them at the Northeast Duals after having competed in just one meet prior. In their lone meet of the season just less than two weeks ago at the Rutgers Duals, the Knights completely swept their competition and did not concede a single match.

While it came at the hands of three lesser opponents, the grapplers in scarlet red singlets appeared to be in mid-season form as they put on a dominating display.

Rutgers knew it was going to have to come into this competitive, early-season quad meet while wrestling at the highest level, so the team began preparing for the meet in its offseason workouts.

“I’ve always said dual meets are really, really important to me,” said head coach Scott Goodale.

“These specific dual meets are against nationally ranked programs, so knowing that, we prepared for it ... The early season schedule, the out-of-conference schedule, it’s a tough schedule, but we’ve had this in mind since July. We’re excited for it, staff’s excited, this team’s excited for it, so we put a lot on it. So I know we’ll be prepared, I’m not worried about that. It’s too early in the year.”

The Northeast Duals will contain a number of matches that feature top-20 wrestlers.

Throughout the day, the Knights will face nine wrestler ranked in the top 20, according to Intermat Wrestling. Of those nine individual matches, Rutgers will counter with a ranked wrestler of its own in eight of them. Three Knights will face multiple ranked opponents at the dual meet.

With that said, a couple of Rutgers wrestlers that are in new surroundings this season will have

the opportunity to not only prove themselves, but make an early statement this Sunday.

Coming off of an impressive three-victory debut at the Rutgers Duals, redshirt freshman Anthony Giraldo will be tasked with competing in two of those top-20 matches. Giraldo, who is No. 19 in the 133-pound weight class, has matches against No. 1 Cody Brewer of Oklahoma and No. 13 Joey Ward of North Carolina.

After moving up to the 165-pound weight class coming into this season, senior Anthony Perrotti will have the toughest schedule of the day. Entering as the No. 9 wrestler in his weight class, Perrotti will face No. 3 Ethan Ramos of North Carolina, No. 4 Cooper Moore of Northern Iowa and No. 11 Clark Glass of Oklahoma.

Both Giraldo and Perrotti could shoot up the rankings in their respective weight classes if they can walk away unbeaten.

But Perrotti is well aware that the Knights, along with himself, are going to have to be at their best on Sunday if they want to walk away with three victories.

“We feel ready,” Perrotti said. “All the training leading up to it, we feel good. It’s going to be a tough weekend with three tough matches so we gotta bring our A-game and if we bring anything else, we’re probably going to lose.”

In the 141-pound class reigning All-American No. 8 Anthony Ashnault will face off against No. 5 Evan Henderson from North Carolina. To round out the top-20 head-to-head matches, No. 8 Billy Smith will square off against No. 4 Blaize Cabell from Northern Iowa and No. 9 Ross Larson of Oklahoma.

As Rutgers begins a tough stretch in its schedule on Sunday, it is confident that its hard training will help its to start off with three big victories.

“I’m pretty confident in our team and our training and our habits,” said junior 157-pounder Richie Lewis. “(Coaches) Pritzloff, Goodie, Pollard and Leo, they’re really over training us.

So we are ready for the adversity ahead.”

November 13, 2015 MEN’S BASKETBALL RUTGERS-RUTGERS (NEWARK), TONIGHT, 7 P.M.

Rutgers hopes to get monkey off back in season opener BRIAN FONSECA ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

When the final horn blew in the United Center to signal the end of the Big Ten Tournament’s first round matchup between the Rutgers men’s basketball team and Minnesota, the Scarlet Knights’ nightmare inaugural season in the conference came to a close.

As far as head coach Eddie Jordan is concerned, so did the 15game losing streak his team ended the season on.

“I don’t remember last year at all,” Jordan said. “I don’t remember a thing. Just a few wins.”

Friday night Rutgers attempts to end the second-longest losing streak in program history in its season opener against ... Rutgers.

The Scarlet Knights will welcome the Scarlet Raiders from the Newark campus of the State University of New Jersey to the Louis Brown Athletic Center.

People tuning into BTN Plus to catch the action may be caught off guard by the names on the scoreboard, but it won’t make a difference for the players on the court.

“No, I don’t think it will,” senior guard Bishop Daniels said on facing a school with the same name.

“They’re a team just like any other team. They gon’ come out here and play their hardest and we gotta come out here and do the same thing.”

Rutgers—Newark competes in the New Jersey Athletic Conference in Division III, but this doesn’t mean they should be taken lightly.

After fellow Big Ten member Iowa was defeated by Division II Augustana and St. John’s lost by a whopping 32 points to Division II opponents St. Thomas Aquinas in Chris Mullen’s first game as head coach of the Red Storm in the preseason, the Knights will be on high alert Friday night.

Regardless of the level of the opposition, Rutgers will approach every game the same way.

“I wouldn’t necessarily say that we’re worried about it,” senior guard Omari Grier said of other Division I team’s struggles in the preseason.

“Us being a Big Ten school, we can’t really worry about what the team is, what division they’re in. We’ve worked extremely hard in practice and it’s a great opportunity to step on the court and play someone other than ourselves. We just need to go out there and compete.”

Grier, a graduate transfer from Bradley, will be 1 of 9 scholarship players suiting up for the Knights on Friday night.

In addition to sophomore center Shaquille Doorson, who has been sidelined with a foot injury for a majority of the preseason, highly touted freshman guard Corey Sanders will not be making his collegiate debut against the Raiders.

Sanders will serve a self-imposed one-game suspension for participating in a non-sanctioned basketball event this past summer.

The Lakeland, Florida, native will be available to Jordan for Rutgers’ meeting with Howard on Sunday.

Senior guard Bishop Daniels and the Knights look to end the second-longest losing streak in team history in the season opener against Rutgers—Newark. EDWIN GANO / PHOTO EDITOR / MARCH 2015 “We’ve been pretty used to Shaq being out. Corey’s a little bit different, we just have to make some adjustments,” Jordan said. “We knew it was coming, but I wanted him in every rotation, every drill, get his reps in and he’s still doing it, he’s just not going to do it with the first team.”

Junior college transfer Deshawn Freeman has been battling a minor injury throughout the week, but is expected to make his Division I debut for the Knights against Rutgers—Newark. “(Freeman’s) got a little crack in his thumb. He’s played with a brace on in the last two practices,” Jordan

said following Tuesday’s practice.

“He seems great, but we just have to see. It could see some setback between now and Friday because he’s wearing a big bandage on it. So we’ll see.”

With Grier, Daniels and sophomore guard Mike Williams in the mix for the two starting spots in the backcourt, each will have a chance to showcase the work they’ve done in the preseason — and they’re excited.

“Yeah. Real excited. Everybody gets to see all the work we put in as a team, individually and get a first look at how we’ll look this season,” Daniels said. “Main thing is we’re coming

out here, it’s our first test to see what we do good and what we need to fix.”

While his head coach may not remember the disastrous end to his team’s first season in the Big Ten, Daniels will have the current skid in the back of his mind.

“He might not, but we do, to an extent,” he said. “We don’t wanna be a part of that no more. We want to create a new light on our basketball team so we’re coming in here trying to win as much as any other team.”

QUOTE OF THE DAY “What would be the point of going out there if we didn’t? ... We all want to win this postseason.”

MEN’S SOCCER NO. 18 RUTGERS-NO. 12 OHIO STATE, TODAY, 1 P.M., BIG TEN TOURNAMENT

RU eyes spot in Big Ten Tournament final BRIAN FONSECA ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

There’s a first time for everything.

The No. 18 Rutgers men’s soccer team experiences its first taste of Big Ten Tournament’s latter stages Friday when it travels to Columbus for the semifinals to face the conference tournament’s top seed in No. 12 Ohio State.

Competing against elite opposition all throughout the regular season, the quality of the team on the other side of the field is nothing new for the boys from the Banks.

“It’s a very big challenge, but everybody in this conference is a very big challenge, top to bottom, from Michigan State, who lost in the play-in game, to Ohio State, who’s the number one seed,” said head coach Dan Donigan. “If you’re not ready in all facets, you’re going to lose. It’s going to be a tactical affair, it’s going to be a physical affair, it’s going to be high energy.”

The match will make it the second time both sides meet in 2015.

The Scarlet Knights (12-5-1, 4-4-0) etched their names in the record books when they defeated the Buckeyes (12-5-2, 5-2-1) earlier in the season, 1-0, to take sole possession of first place in the Big Ten regular season standings for the first time in program history.

But the win came at Yurcak Field, a venue the Knights are familiar with, in front of fans cheering for them.

Friday’s match will take place at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium, where the Buckeyes have gone 9-1-1 this season. The only loss Sophomore forward Jason Wright is blocking out all of the external factors going against his team as it travels to Columbus to face the No. 12 Buckeyes, choosing rather to appreciate how far the program has come.

WOMEN’S SOCCER FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON-NO. 9 RUTGERS, TONIGHT, 7 P.M., NCAA TOURNAMENT

Rutgers opens NCAA Tournament MIKE O’SULLIVAN CORRESPONDENT

Looking to put the loss to Penn State in the Big Ten Championship game behind it quickly, the No. 9 Rutgers women’s soccer team is set to host Fairleigh Dickinson on Friday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

The Scarlet Knights (16-3-2, 7-2-2) enter the tournament as a No. 2 seed, the highest in program history.

Their strong play throughout the year led the NCAA committee to tab them with the honor of the high seed. With home field advantage coming into play, the Knights like their chances.

“In the NCAA Tournament, every team you play is going to be a quality team,” said head coach Mike O’Neill. “It’s a local game, so there is some extra hype and Fairleigh Dickinson is a very good team that is wellcoached and has a good attack. We have been watching tape over the last few days to

prepare for the match, and the most important thing is to do the things that we do well.”

It is a welcomed return home to Yurcak Field for the Knights, where they were unbeaten this season.

They posted a 10-0-1 mark at home, making them only the third team in school history to not lose a home game during the regular season.

As Rutgers hopes to get back to its winning formula of strong defense and timely offense, it knows the importance of moving past the championship loss and keeping the focus on the next game.

It is a recipe for the success that has been obvious all season long.

“We know we didn’t play our best against Penn State, but we took some time to think about it and see what we could do better and learn from to make a good run in this tournament,” O’Neill said. “We focused on leaving SEE TOURNAMENT ON PAGE 13
