Rutgers’ Chabad House egged early hours of morning NOA HALFF STAFF WRITER

The Chabad House on the College Avenue campus, a center for Jewish student life at Rutgers, was egged at about 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning.

The Chabad House is a community where Jewish students of all backgrounds can attend events and participate in community service programs, according to their Facebook page. It is also home to many Jewish students.

The incident is being investigated, but so far there have been no signs of a targeted hate crime, said Isaac Sasson, a member of the Chabad House and a School of Arts and Sciences senior.

Helene Brenenson, a Mason Gross School of the Arts first-year student, lives in the Chabad House and woke up to policemen inside who were guarding the area.

Surveillance cameras recorded the culprits and what occurred, Sassoon said.

Students hold vigil for victims of terror attacks NIKHILESH DE STAFF WRITER

Recognizing the victims of terroristic attacks is important, even if certain attacks are able to be highlighted more than others, said Gabriel Schalom, a School of Arts and Sciences junior.

Connecting students from different backgrounds to recognize people

from the recent terror attacks across nations was the goal of a vigil held last night on the steps of Brower Commons on the College Avenue campus.

“I hope everyone can see that we are all one giant community,” Schalom said. “We are all brothers and sisters of different faiths, different ethnicities and different backgrounds, but we are all part of the same Rutgers community and there’s no difference.”

Six different locations were attacked by nearly ten individuals, including four suicide bombers, resulting in 129 deaths and more than 350 other injuries in Paris, France last Friday, according to The Guardian. Seven attackers died at the time, with two more dying in Saint-Denis during a French police raid yesterday.

Professors discuss role students have in protest activities

From the hunger strikes at the University of Missouri to protests at Yale, black students across the countr y in recent weeks have been raising awareness of racial tensions among the institutions.

Last night, the discussion was brought to the College Avenue campus, where professors and students commented on these national student rallies and delved into how Rutgers students can create change.

Khadijah White, an assistant professor in the Depar tment of Journalism and Media Studies, began with an introduction on the University of Missouri student protest, hunger strike and boycott of the football team that ended last week after the resignation of President Tim Wolfe.

After mentioning the protest at Mizzou, White also brought up recent student protests at Yale and other U.S. universities.

Protests are happening in the state of New Jersey as well.

Two days ago, black students at Kean University were rallying to raise awareness of racial unrest in the countr y when an anonymous Twitter user posted

Students are key to instigating change, says Brittney Cooper, an assistant professor in the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and Africana Studies. DIMITRI RODRIGUEZ death threats to all of the black students at the school.

“We are here to talk about the students who have (spoken out) against racial and social violence lately,” White said. “More than that, we want to engage with the faculty around to the issues that we have.”

Brittney Cooper, an assistant professor in the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and Africana Studies, said that the students’ movements inspired her.

“What is really remarkable about these moments — students making demands and administrations listening to those demands,” Coopers said. “You must think about where the nodes of power is on campus.”

Cooper said students at Princeton, Tulsa University, the University of Alabama and Georgetown are renaming the buildings on their campuses.

The Black Lives Matter movement taught people that they do not have to accept institutional violence, she said, and that students can make demands from institutions they are par t of.

“You might ask ‘Why aren’t faculty leading the charge?” Cooper asked. “That is not how this works. We follow you guys, this is your institution. We are here to educate you guys, so what kind of education do you want to receive?”

A group of young, male students on campus are blending South Asian and Western music in performances with, quite literally, nothing but vocals.

Nuttin’ but V.O.C.A.L.S. is an a cappella group at Rutgers comprised of South Asian male students who use popular music from South Asia and the West as elements for their performances.

The group is trying to make a presence on campus and get their name out there, said Rohit Chawla, president of the group and School of Engineering junior.

“Our group was founded in January 2011, so it was kind of inspired by other groups in other colleges that do the same thing. We look to those groups because we try to reach their potential, because there are some groups that are really good,” Chawla said. “We want to get on their level.”

The creative process involves forming pieces of good composition, which can get complicated at times, but that is also where the creativity lies, Chawla said.

“I feel like it’s very difficult because we are trying to combine two different styles of music, and it’s like trying to find that place where we can transition from one song to the other and then in the end bring those two songs overlapping where we sing them kind

of at the same time, which we call the ‘super chorus,’” Chawla said.

The club is a competitive group of individuals, so they wanted to have something on par with groups at other universities, said Anirudh Vojjala, a School of Engineering junior and member of the organization.

“This year we’re meeting twice a week, before a show we meet up every single day, and before any of our competitions we meet up every single day because we want to be perfect,” Vojjala said.

Vojjala, who has been singing for about 15 years and received Indian classical music training for a long period of time, added how the club is a way for the members to express themselves and use it as a creative outlet.

Around three quarters of group members have had prior musical experience, and the skills range from those who can beat-box to one member who had briefly been on “American Idol,” Chawla said.

“Obviously some of us who have had experience, it’s a little easier for us to pick up on stuff. So we have to work together to make sure everyone’s on point,” Chawla said.

“Because when we first start off a specific mix or arrangement, it’s not going to be smooth, so we really have to work.”

The group is all-male, but there is not a par ticular reason for that, SEE MUSICIANS ON PAGE 4

“It’s something we feel that we can offer the Rutgers community because a lot of people don’t know that it exists,” Chawla said. “And some of us are pretty cultured, some people have been classically trained, so it’s cool for them to also be able to present their work and see how our culture is in a music sense.”

Melanye Price, an assistant professor in the Depar tment of Africana Studies, expressed opinions on black politics.

Price primarily teaches material on student movements and social movements.

“The thing about the Civil Rights Movement that is most important and personal to me is the student movement,” she said. “As I look at campuses today, it reminds me of the Civil Rights Movements and the push for ethnic studies and the anti-apartheid movement — the push for universities to divest from South African businesses.”

Price said she has thought about what those past students did that present students can learn from.

“What were the mistakes that those students made that we can try to correct, and what were the things they did that might lean towards to the things you would be interested in?” Price said.

Students from previous generations did their homework about how institutions work, which Price said helped their causes greatly.

“They deliberated train and practice, before they engaged in protests,” Price said. “Because there is nothing more demoralizing than a failed protest activity.”

NOV. 18 NEWARK — The man shot in the city’s Central Ward and has been identified as Antoine Love, 31. Police discovered Love’s body motionless inside of a parked car. Emergency officials declared his body dead at the scene. Police do not know the motive nor do they have any suspects for the killing, according to the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Task Force, who are still investigating. Love’s death brings the total number of homicides in Newark for the year of 2015 to 84 and police are looking for connections to past incidents.

NOV. 18 HOBOKEN — A student from the Stevens Institute of Technology died after falling from the fifth-floor window of a Hoboken building and the police have now identified his body. He has been identified as Bryan Fitzpatrick from North Potomac. He was found unresponsive by the police at just past 3 a.m. on Sunday on Clinton Street. The police have ruled out the chance of a homicide, but are exploring other options. Stevens issued a statement on Tuesday about how Fitzpatrick will be missed and explaining all the counseling resources they have available.

NOV. 18 LAWRENCE — Faye Lonstein, 74, drove her car through her garage and was trapped in her car for about five minutes after the incident. Lonstein’s husband, daughter and her husband’s medical aid were all in the house at the time of the accident.

Lt. Timothy Drew said that Lonstein mistook the gas pedal for the brake when pulling into her garage. She was examined by EMS and had no injuries. Firefighters are still monitoring the structure of the building and potential problems with the natural gas and water pipelines.

The Chabad House was egged sometime during the morning of Nov. 18 in an incident being investigated by the authorities.

MORNING Shafrir finds it ‘offensive’ that ‘act of vandalism’ occurred at place many students consider haven CONTINUED FROM FRONT

“There were two guys in hoodies that threw less than a dozen eggs at the doors of Chabad,” he said.

Baruch Goodman, rabbi of the Chabad House, is not worried about the incident and said there has been far worse done in the past.

“We have been in contact with local law enforcement authorities at Rutgers and New Brunswick who are vigilant in their investigations,” he said. “We are confident that they will get to the bottom of this crime and prosecute those responsible.”

Some students are worried about the motives behind the incident.

Regardless of whether this was an act specifically targeting the Jewish community or not, it is concerning, said Rachel Shafrir, a member of the Chabad House and a School of Arts and Sciences senior.

“I find it of fensive that this act of vandalism took place at a place of worship and where many Jewish students consider a safe haven to practice their religion,” she said.

Rabbi Esther Reed, senior associate director of Rutgers Hillel, said she is saddened to hear when any group or individual is targeted because of who they are, especially as a member of the Rutgers Bias Prevention and Education Committee.

“In this case, we don’t know the motives of the perpetrator, but it af fects me personally because it took place at a Jewish institution on the Rutgers campus,” she said. “As the campus with the largest Jewish undergraduate population in the nation, I know that this is not what Rutgers stands for. Rutgers is a great place to be Jewish, and despite this incident, it remains so.”

This has not stopped people from seizing the opportunity to dismiss refugees, Lovano said.

Rutgers gets in touch with its artsy side MARY ELLEN CAGNASSOLA STAFF WRITER

Hidden Grounds devoted their space last Friday night to some of New Brunswick’s up-and-coming artists and crafters. Droves of shoppers stopped by the fifth installment of HG’s Arts & Crafts Fair to support the Rutgers students, and one alumna, displaying their art and passions for all to see (and hopefully buy).

Inside Beat has the scoop on the creative forces behind the tables, whose stories were as diverse as the products they sold.

ROBERTA DAY MASON GROSS SCHOOL OF THE ARTS SENIOR ROBERTA DAY ART, PRINT MAKING

IB: How did you get started doing this?

Day: I was studying abroad in Florence, Italy, and our teacher told us we could either print on fabric or paper. I did fabric because I already had taken a silk screen class working with paper. I created other prints that are more pattern-like and wanted to see how they would sell,

so I created an Etsy. I’ve done other craft fairs, this is my third one. I got really into art when I was little, but then more so in high school. I knew then that I wanted to go to school for art. My first year, I wasn’t sure what concentration I wanted to pursue, but then I took a print making class and I really loved it. Print really stuck to me, and I think it’s good because it has the aesthetic of drawing as well, which was what I really wanted to do at first but wasn’t sure how to make it into a career.

IB: What is your background as an artist?

Day: Some of my work is abstract and really detailed, so I focus on detailed line work.

RACHEL SEUNGYUN SHIN SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES SENIOR YEONNISTORE, MINIMALISTIC JEWELRY, CUSTOM ART, REALISTIC PORTRAITS

IB: How did you get started with your business?

Shin: I always wanted to go to art school ever since I was little, but, you know, my stereotypical Asian parents wanted me to go to medical school or law school, so I kind of put

it aside. But in college, I realized art and drawing and jewelry making and arts and crafts are things I really have a passion for. Whenever I’m stressed from exams I always found myself just drawing something or crafting something ridiculous, so I had this pile of things that I had made in my room and then whenever I would wear my own stuff or design my own school supplies, I would get a pretty positive response from people. I started a store January of this year, and since people seemed interested, I thought I might as well take a risk and go for it. I opened up an Etsy store, took the pictures and tried to be all artsy with my iPhone. Everyone needs to start somewhere, and I started getting a really good response, especially for my chokers. I’m not rich at all, and I thought this would be a great thing to do on the side to help pay rent. Admittedly, I’m not there yet, so I’m here tonight to kind of get my name out there and be like, “Hi! I do things.”

IB: What would you say your style is?

Shin: I’m a very minimal person, I don’t like clutter. If you see my room, it’s very black, white and grey.

Because there are so many things going on in my mind, I like things to be very minimal and clean. So even for my post cards and drawings, you look at it and you get what it is. It’s a post card, I drew it, here you go. A lot of my art shows my personality, and as you can see there are a lot of punny post cards for days when I feel kind of aloof, and then I have my more emotional ones. All my drawings have a story behind them that reflect how I was feeling that day.

USRA & SARAH ATTALLA MASON GROSS SCHOOL OF THE ARTS FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS THE MUG SHOP

IB: Do you want to talk a little about your business?

Usra: Ever since our junior year of high school, we started selling mugs together. It was kind of like a one-on-one thing. We would kind of just make them like, “Look what we can do!” Pretty much, people would request something and that’s how most of our mugs came about.

and the largest power vacuum in the Middle East since the beginning of the War on Terror. Last week’s attack in the French capital city has left many leaders across the globe making statements in favor of severely limiting, or halting all together, the acceptance of Syrian refugees — this was exhibited by 13 U.S. governors at the time that this is being written.

The arguments in favor of this halt have some validity to their reasoning. It has been reported that one of the assailants in Paris entered the country in the throngs of Syrian refugees, while other members were permanent residents or citizens of European countries. The timing of the

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Missalloation of U. funds leaves classes lacking, sports proser Why must Rutgers always snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? We are used to scandals involving football (remember Pernetti and Rice? Floodgate? The five players arrested for assault?). Similarly, we have grown accustomed to investigative reports confirming what we all know: The engine for runaway tuition is an outlandishly inflated and unaccountable upper administration (remember the 2007 N.J. state report of “Vulnerable to Abuse” that included Rutgers? Millions in fraudulent billing of Medicare by the medical school?

An affair and drunk driving by Rutgers’ previous president?) But neither the athletic program nor the administration has been successful by any objective standard, so in a sense we aren’t surprised to see corruption accompany mediocrity.

The University does have its jewels though, and now we see the brightest of these being tossed aside, for no apparent reason but defense of the same corruption and mediocrity. Professor Dena Seidel founded the most successful film program that Rutgers — or any comparable university — has ever seen. She received an Emmy and other awards for films including “Antarctic Edge,” about extreme science, “The War After,” about student veterans,

“It’s one thing to defend improprieties in the football program. We have grown to expect that.” and “Thailand Untapped,” about student engineers building clean water supplies.

Her work has been covered by National Geographic, National Public Radio, the Discovery Channel, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and on and on. A Henry Rutgers professorship was created to honor her work. If the University has a jewel, it is Professor Seidel.

But last fall, faculty including Dena Seidel had the temerity to raise questions of a Dean regarding his hidden finances. These include the highest student fees in the University — up to $2,500 to fund equipment and activities. Faculty complained that the funds never reach their intended uses, so for example, Professor Seidel had to buy her own cameras for students to use. Likewise, the Dean demands $100,000 annually from each of his division directors and diverts these, as well as contracted research funds, into his own discretionary accounts — accounts that he terms “fully fungible.”

Although facts remain sketchy due to the Dean’s fungible bookkeeping, what we know is that by summer, 2 out of 4 division directors had been let go, and a third is reported to have begun legal proceedings.

It’s one thing to defend improprieties in the football program. We have grown to expect that. But why can’t the University at least leave alone its best and its brightest? Why must every program be brought to the same lowest common denominator of dubious financial practices and bloated management? Why can’t the University faculty and students enjoy the films of its single most acclaimed professor without an administrator dumping on her for no better purpose than to hide his own corruption and mediocrity?

PATHS Rutgers seeks first 3-0 start since 2008-09 in regional road trip to undefeated SJU CONTINUED FROM BACK senior Bishop Daniels at the guards, freshman Jonathan Laurent at small forward, sophomore D.J. Foreman at power forward and senior Greg Lewis at center.

Jordan found balance in a pair of prized 2015 recruits.

In their first full games, junior college transfer Deshawn Freeman (17 points, seven rebounds) and freshman Corey Sanders (15 points, five assists) combined for 32 of the Knights’ 41 bench points in the 82-70 win over the Bison.

“We (are) trying to grow as a team,” Freeman said. “A few errors, we did the first game.

The second game, we got Corey (Sanders) back (and) got

me playing the whole game.

So we got everybody on the same stream.”

The crisp ball movement was evident in Rutgers’ first time eclipsing 80 points since Feb. 26. Last season, the Knights surpassed 80 points in a game only three times.

While it remains to be seen just how consistent Rutgers can remain when it takes on a St. John’s team that has yet to yield more than 57 points in its first two games of the young season, Sanders is eager to make strides as he anticipates his second appearance on the floor for the Knights.

But he reiterated the emphasis around the team to stay

REGIONAL Knights recover from 28-point drubbing at Seton Hall, hosts St. John’s at RAC CONTINUED FROM BACK St. John’s has also split its opening two games, coming off a 85-63 win over the UC Irvine on Sunday. The Red Storm crashes the Banks on the back end of a three-game road trip.

In order to reestablish an offensive rhythm, Rutgers will first need to defend a pair of premier senior guards for St. John’s in Danaejah Grant and Aliyyah Handford.

Both members of the Storm’s backcourt are New Jersey natives and grew up in close proximity to the Rutgers’ campuses.

Grant, who came of age in the shadows of the Louis Brown

Athletic Center as a Piscataway native, poured in 28 points in the Red Storm’s win over the Anteaters, after averaging 17.1 points per in her junior season.

And as if the 5-foot-9 Clemson transfer isn’t difficult enough to defend on her own, the Knights will also have their hands full with Handford.

The Newark native and Shabazz High School product led the Big East in scoring a year ago, according to the conference’s website, averaging 19.3 points per contest. Handford has gotten off to a slower start in 2015-16, averaging 11 points in her first two games.

humble as the season continues to get under way.

“It’s a lot of excitement, just for the wins, starting off good, but ain’t letting it get to our head right now because it’s a long season,” he said. “We know that we gotta still just come in and get things done, still got things to work on and Coach (Jordan) is letting us know, let it be known that we still have a lot to accomplish.”

Jordan didn’t disclose whether or not he’ll stick with the same starting lineup from the first two games, but Sanders’ team-high 34 minutes against Howard and Freeman’s 29 minutes trailing right behind his fellow teammate might merit a shift in Rutgers’ starting five.

“We have to somehow have some type of consistency,” Jordan said. “I won’t know until four, five, six games down the road with that lineup (is). So we’ll see how it goes.”

But Sanders, who sat the season opener for a self-reported

NCAA violation for playing in a non-sanctioned basketball game in the summer, came off the bench to make his debut in game two. He feels comfortable with whatever angle his head coach decides to take as the freshman from Lakeland, Florida, continues to get his feet wet at the collegiate level.

Whether he cracks the starting lineup or not, Sanders is ready for whatever his role may be when the bright city lights shine on the Knights in Queens.

“Coach (Jordan) is really intimate about this game. He really wants to go get this ‘W’ over there,” Sanders said. “We’re gonna be in New York. That’s one of the teams they put over us, so we’re just eager to go over there and show what we got and come out with another ‘W.’”

But similar to Seton Hall’s Shakena Richardson — a Rutgers transfer — whether they admit it or not, Handford and Grant will likely be playing with a little extra juice when they take on the State University of New Jersey.

At Media Day on Oct. 27, Hollivay told reporters to expect a more polished all-around game from her in her final season on the Banks.

“I work on it like every single day,” she said. “Different things, so I’m excited to see what I can do this year.”

If the first two games are any indication, Hollivay is improved. The 6-foot-4 center is averaging eight points and 10 rebounds after scoring 6.7 points and collecting 4.6 boards per contest in her junior year.

Another important factor on the offensive side of the floor will be leading scorer, senior Kahleah Copper.

The wing fell into early foul trouble which hampered her offensively at Seton Hall, being held scoreless through the first 14 and a half minutes of game time due to foul trouble. But Copper caught up quickly, dropping a team-high 17 points in the 28-point defeat.

Stringer is hoping her seniors send a message to the rest of the team that is received by the rest of the players.

A wake-up call is needed to shake the shame of such a loss.

“I’m disturbed right now,” Stringer said after the loss in South Orange. “But if we wake up and realize that we were thoroughly embarrassed — I am embarrassed — we can play better. I know we can.”

SET Danielle Freshnock winds down notable career as sibling enters program CONTINUED FROM BACK Stephenson had one of her strongest games of the year, finishing with 10 kills and a .333 hitting percentage while also contributing on defense, adding two blocks to a front row that is usually defensively carried by Frazier, junior middle blocker Mikaela Matthews and junior right side Lauren Cloyd.

Rutgers continued to halt their own progress with a number of errors coming from everywhere on the court. Combined with the resurgence of Purdue, the Knights needed to find themselves quickly to hold off the talented Boilermakers.

“I think after that service run ended, I think we were all just really excited because Purdue is the number 15 team in the nation and to have that big of a lead was really exciting,” said senior defensive specialist Ronnie Komisarek. “I think we just got ahead of ourselves and pushed too hard... we just got a little too ahead of ourselves.”

Stopping the comeback would prove to be a difficult task.

Purdue senior outside hitter Annie Drews was better than advertised. The 6-foot-4 talent looked and played like the best player on the court, finishing with a staggering 21 kills on the night.

Fittingly, it was Drews who finished the comeback for the Boilermakers, slamming down a set from sophomore setter Ashley Evans to tie the game at 24-24.

The nightmare reached its climax for Rutgers, who had just blown an 11-point lead at home and the many Purdue fans who made the trip to the barn erupted with cheers.

But on the very next play, the hero for the Knights made it known that this set would not fall out of the Rutgers grasp.

Sophomore outside hitter Meme Fletcher slammed down a kill to put her team back on top.

Over the next few points, the two teams went back and forth into extra points with neither team backing from the intense action.

Finally, it was Megan Stephenson who came up big and secured Rutgers first set win in nearly a month.

The strong play of the Knights was once again overshadowed by the end result, yet another loss to add to the pile of 25 that cements their reputation as one of the worst in the Big Ten. At one point in the first set, it seemed that the Knights were headed to yet another lopsided defeat they would never have a chance in. Down 16-10 in the first, almost everyone in the College Avenue Gymnasium recognized that this would be where the match would become out of hand.

But the Knights refused to fall into that trap and went on a 7-1 run to tie the game at 17-17, a moment that would change the atmosphere of the entire match.

“We just really came together as a team and celebrated and used that momentum from those big points to kind of push us forward in that set,” Cloyd said. “We carried it over into the second and even into the third, where we won.”

November 19, 2015 MEN’S SOCCER LIU BROOKLYN-NO. 23 RUTGERS, TONIGHT, 7 P.M.

RU opens NCAA Tournament at home BRIAN FONSECA ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

It’s been four years in the making, but it was worth the wait.

The Rutgers men’s soccer team plays its first NCAA Tournament match since 2011 when it takes on LIU Brooklyn under the lights at Yurcak Field.

The only member of the Scarlet Knights (12-6-1, 4-4-0) returning from the last team to participate in the biggest tournament in collegiate soccer is JP Correa.

The fifth-year senior saw action in the tournament as a freshman and will close his career on the Banks playing in the competition the Knights have been working to return to over four tumultuous seasons.

“It’s a nice feeling,” Correa said of playing in the tournament twice.

“Come in my freshman year, be in the tournament, my last year, be in the tournament, so it’s a nice way to go out.”

Correa, who redshirted the year after Rutgers’ last tournament appearance due to injury, is easily the most experienced member of the team.

Having talked to the team throughout the season of what it’s like to make the tournament, he can now share his advice on how to prepare for the biggest stage of all of his teammates’ careers.

“I would definitely say treat it like any other game,” Correa said of his advice to his teammates. “I know it’s not an ordinary game

but you just gotta give it your all and just go out there and win.”

The Blackbirds (11-5-4, 7-0-0) from Brooklyn represent the first obstacle in the Knights’ journey to the unanimous team goal of a first national championship in program history.

They earned their way to the tournament by dominating the Northeast Conference, winning the conference tournament in a penalty shootout after finishing the regular season undefeated in conference play. Brooklyn is undefeated in its past 12 matches, winning nine in that stretch.

NEC Rookie of the Year Rasmus Hansen, a former member of 10time Danish Superliga champions Brondby IF’s academy, helped lead the Blackbirds to this position. The freshman midfielder scored eight goals and assisted on another four in his first season in Brooklyn.

On the other end of the field, junior goalkeeper Logan Keys has been a brick wall for the Blackbirds. Keys ranks sixth in the nation in goals against average, allowing just .505 goals per contest.

Just as Rutgers head coach Dan Donigan was named Big Ten Coach of the Year, Brooklyn head coach TJ Kostecky was named NEC Coach of the Year for the undefeated conference schedule he led his team to.

With all the talent the Blackbirds bring to Piscataway and history on their side — they’ve won eight of the 11 meetings between the teams, including a 2-0 shutout win at Yurcak Field the last time

they met — Donigan makes sure his team knows they are not to be taken likely.

At the same time, he’s worried more about what the 11 players he puts on the field will do than what the players on the other side of the pitch are capable of.

“We expect them to be good,” Donigan said. “Obviously, they’ve turned their team around this year and gotten very good results and I’m sure they’re gonna be tough. We just gotta, for me, worry about ourselves and make sure we bounce back from our last performance and I think our guys know this is a new opportunity and a new season and they’re excited about it.”

The last performance the sixthyear head coach mentions is the 4-0 drubbing suffered at the hands of then-No. 12 Ohio State in the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament last Friday in Columbus.

The loss was the second in three games for the Knights after they fell in the regular season finale at College Park to eventual Big Ten Tournament champion Maryland, 2-0. It dropped Rutgers to a fourthplace finish in the regular season.

Holding the third-longest winning streak after rallying off seven straight victories earlier in the season, two losses in three games certainly could be reason for panic for Rutgers as it heads towards the most crucial stretch of the season.

But instead of having doubts, the Knights look at what they did right in two match-ups against the

Big Ten regular season and postseason champions.

“They’re good teams that we lost to. I know that 4-0 game looks bad on paper, but I don’t think we played that bad at all,” Correa said. “There’s a lot of positives we can take from that game, we just gotta clean up a couple of things and be focused from the get go.”

The path Rutgers must take in order to progress in the tournament is similar to the one the Knights faced in Correa’s freshman year.

After defeating Colgate, 4-2, at home — a game where Correa scored the game-winner — Rutgers traveled to fourth-seeded Boston College and upset the Eagles in penalty kicks to advance to the third round of the competition, where its run was ended by No. 5 UCLA, 3-0.

If the Knights defeat LIU Brooklyn Thursday, they will travel

to Akron to face the fourth-seeded Zips with another chance to make a surprising run to the Sweet 16.

Hearing Correa talk about his experience in the tournament serves as motivation for the younger members of Rutgers, which hopes to have a similar story to tell when all is said and done in the 2015 edition of the NCAA Tournament.

“We’ve talked about it in the past,” said junior goalkeeper David Greczek. “(Correa) just says when you have moments like that, you just gotta enjoy it because they made a great trip all the way to the Sweet 16 and if we could do that or go even further, obviously, that would be great and it would be a great memory to have.”

FOOTBALL ARMY RANKS NO. 125 IN PASS OFFENSE WITH 78 YARDS PER GAME

Rutgers ups prep for Army offense GARRETT STEPIEN SPORTS EDITOR

With a trip up to West Point approaching and Saturday’s noon kickoff less than three days away, Kyle Flood is doing everything he can to have the Rutgers football team ready for battle against Army.

Outside of a four-game losing streak where the Scarlet Knights (3-7, 1-6) have been outscored by an average margin of 48.7-11, the fourth-year head coach is tasked with multiple unique challenges despite the Black Knights’ 2-8 overall record on the season.

To remain ready for second-year Army head coach Jeff Monken’s triple-option, Flood conducted what he called a “unique” full-padded practice for Wednesday.

“It’ll be the only one we do this week, but we thought it was important with the option that we’re trying to get used to playing that we had a day out here where the scout team would cut us and we’d have a chance to try to simulate what we’re gonna have to simulate on Saturday,” Flood said. “It’s very tough to do.

Those first couple drives are always a learning experience, but we felt like today was a good day of work for us.”

Sophomore safety Andre Hunt broke down the advantages of suiting up in full pads for the midweek mark of preparation for Army’s run heavy look in the triple option.

As one of the many members of the secondary with an increased role this year, sophomore safety Andre Hunt expects Army to bring the attack. MICHELLE KLEJMONT / MANAGING EDITOR / NOVEMBER 2015 “It’s good that we do that because we get to practice out the cut blocks,” Hunt said. “But it’s gonna be a very physical game because these guys, Army guys, they’re very tough guys. This is something they almost do as a hobby. So it’s their fun. We gotta come out just as hard.”

At No. 125 out of 127 Football Bowl Subdivision teams in pass offense with 78 yards per game, the Black Knights appear to give the Scarlet Knights’ thinning secondary a break.

Rutgers took a step in the right direction last week, keeping Tommy Armstrong to under 200

pass yards and racking up a season-high three interceptions despite the 31-14 loss to Nebraska.

True freshman cornerback Blessuan Austin agreed that the Scarlet Knights’ defensive backfield had positives to build off in allowing the least amount of yardage through the air since Sept. 19 when Chris Hackenberg threw for 141 yards and had a pick at Penn State.

“I mean, definitely,” he said.

“But at the same time, every week is different. Every week is a new challenge. So what we’re trying to do, or what we’re doing now, is focusing on this week.”

Flood said the focus is on Army’s triple-option and a rush offense that ranks ninth in the country with 253.3 yards per game, but he doesn’t believe the change in schemes necessarily brings his pass defense any time off.

“I don’t think it’s a break at all,” Flood said. “They’re gonna have to be involved in the run fits and they’re gonna have to be really disciplined, because when Army does throw it, they get chunks.” *** The state of the offensive line has been a focal point for Rutgers ever since it was beaten and bruised for six sacks against Nebraska.

Even more so, the level of concern rose Monday when Flood place 4 of 5 starters in the trenches on the injury report as questionable or probable. Junior right tackle JJ Denman is the lone exception.

Flood mentioned that, as of Wednesday, junior right guard Chris Muller (probable, lower body) was taking the bulk of the snaps at center with junior Derrick Nelson (upper body) still questionable.

Anticipating the potential switch — not to mention the statuses of sophomore left guard Dorian Miller (questionable, upper body) and senior left tackle Keith Lumpkin (probable, upper body) — Flood noted the activity of his redshirt freshmen in Marcus Applefield, Tariq Cole and Zach Heeman working in at the guard position.

“I think they’re working hard.

We’ve got confidence in (Applefield, Cole and Heeman). We’ve got a lot invested in them this year and then we’re trying to make sure we put them in good situations going into this week,” he said. “The one thing about playing young guys — it certainly raises the urgency level in practice when they know they’re gonna be out there the first snap.”

Coaches’ paths cross again as RU faces SJU

Rutgers resets against regional foe in St. John’s

Everybody knows Chris Mullin.

Whether it was from his time on the 1992 United States men’s basketball “Dream Team” or from his recent time spent as an analyst on ESPN, he’s a well-known presence in the basketball world.

But the two-time Naismith Hall of Fame inductee — first, in 2010 with “The Dream Team” and again in 2011 for his individual NBA career — is now known for his head coaching gig at his alma mater, St. John’s, where he was a three-time Big East Player of the Year.

None of that is news to Rutgers head men’s basketball coach Eddie Jordan, who coached against Mullin in the NBA during the end of his 16-year playing career.

“I know Chris (Mullin) very well,” Jordan said. “He brings (something) people can connect to, connect with. Obviously, he went there. He was a great player there (and) had a Hall of Fame career after St. John’s. So just his legend is attractive, is an attraction and his basketball knowledge is (at a) high-level. And not too many people went through the experiences he went through, so it should help (St. John’s) as a program.”

When the two cross paths, they’ll both be on the sidelines coaching their alma maters in an effort to keep their early unbeaten records alive.

The Scarlet Knights (2-0) visit the Red Storm (2-0) Thursday night at Carnesecca Arena in Queens, New York, looking to make the improvements necessary to grab a win on the road against their former Big East Conference opponent.

Rutgers’ first two wins only came against Division III team Rutgers-Newark and then Howard (0-2), but there were evident gameto-game improvements.

Despite sticking with the same starting lineup with sophomore Mike Williams and

It has been a tale of two games for the Rutgers women’s basketball team — first predator, then prey.

The Scarlet Knights (1-1) began their season with a resounding 79-66 win over St. Joseph’s in Philadelphia on Nov. 13, but Rutgers followed up with a humiliating, 77-49, defeat at intrastate rival Seton Hall on Monday night.

In game one, the Knights were beyond efficient from 3-point range, knocking down 66.6 percent of their attempts from beyond the arc.

But in South Orange, Rutgers was unable to establish a rhythm from the perimeter against the Pirates and the offensive production suffered to 33.3 percent from three and 46.5 percent from the floor overall.

Thursday, the Knights will host another regional opponent in St. John’s (1-1).

The Red Storm also pose problems in the paint for head coach C. Vivian Stringer and a Rutgers team that was outrebounded by the Hall, 39-26. “(Seton Hall) had 13 offensive rebounds, we had two,” Stringer said. “We didn’t work the boards.”

The Johnnies enter the matchup averaging 41 rebounds per game while the Knights have managed a total of 57 boards in their first two times out on the floor in 2015.

Senior center Rachel Hollivay was active on the glass at Seton Hall, pulling down a teamhigh eight boards at the Walsh Gymnasium.

Her presence on the low block will be pivotal for the success of the offense in order to avoid a similar quagmire to the team from Queens. The Knights will look to get more opportunities for second chance points.

“We can do better,” Hollivay said. “There’s been times when I don’t get rebounds at all and my guards are getting ‘em. So we gotta all just come together, put the pieces together and just rebound.”

Knights fall in fourth set to No. 15 Purdue JOE BRAUNER STAFF WRITER

The Rutgers volleyball team lost its eighth straight game on Wednesday night, falling to No. 15 Purdue. The Scarlet Knights (4-25, 1-16) battled closely with the Boilermakers for most of the game.

Three out of the four sets played were decided by less than four points and the Knights were able to pick up their first set win in weeks, taking the third set from Purdue (21-7, 12-5) in a nail-biting 27-25 victory, avoiding what would have been their 24th consecutive set loss.

The bright spot for Rutgers at home seemed to be a guarantee when the Knights comfortably commanded the third set after a tip by senior middle blocker Eden Frazier gave them a 20-9 lead.

But from that point on Rutgers flirted with danger, allowing the nationally ranked Boilermakers back in the game with a four point

run. At 20-13, head coach CJ Werneke had seen enough and called timeout in hopes of his team finishing the set strong after taking a breather.

After the game, Werneke talked about how his team seemed to be getting ahead of themselves after taking an 11-point lead on one of the best teams in the country.

“We just wanted it too badly, pressing too hard. We weren’t playing the same,” the eighth-year head coach said of his team’s performance halfway through the third set. “We were just letting the moment get the best of us, you know, instead of just settling down, trusting your skills and playing to your strengths, we were trying to do too much, we were trying to end the game rather than just win the point.”

The Knights came out of the timeout strong, with a kill by senior outside hitter Megan Stephenson stopping the Purdue run.
