The New Brunswick Police Department (NBPD) arrested three individuals on Saturday for starting a fire near the Kappa Sigma fraternity house, where multiple cars were found engulfed in flames.

NBPD and the New Brunswick Fire Department responded to multiple fires reported near 14 Union St. in New Brunswick, police said.

“Upon their arrival they observed multiple vehicles along with trash and a storage container engulfed in flames,” he said. “The fire department was able to extinguish See arson on Page 4

The Committee on Enslaved and Disenfranchised Populations presented findings on the role of slavery in constructing Old Queens. LAUREN KIM

At least one enslaved person laid the bricks and mortar that make up Old Queens on the College Avenue campus, and several of Rutgers’ benefactors and trustees in the late 1700s and early 1800s were slaveowners.

The Committee on Enslaved and Disenfranchised Populations, first announced by Rutgers-New Brunswick Chancellor Richard L. Edwards last November, reported the results of their research Friday afternoon in the College Avenue Student Center during “Scarlet and Black,” a presentation which launched a book by the same name detailing the committee’s findings.

“I thought this was a piece of our history that wasn’t well-known at all, so I decided to put together a committee that would look at the role of enslaved and Native American populations in terms of Rutgers history,” Edwards told The Daily Targum. “The results will be available in a book to give us a permanent record.”

Researchers with the committee, which included faculty members and students, looked at records in Alexander Library, the New Brunswick Free Public Library, archives in Trenton and the National Archives in Washington D.C. The documents used to verify whether a person was a slave-owner or not included various historical See labor on Page 4

Engineers host annual case competition at U. Pragya Hooda contributing writer

A case competition held by the Rutgers Engineering Honors Council on Nov. 19 encouraged students to find a holistic and quantifiable standard to measure Rutgers’ pride and proposed ways to maintain pride as alumni.

During the competition, students were given a case to read, analyze and solve. It was designed to give

engineering students a glimpse into problem-solving skills and the opportunity to network with Rutgers alumni, said Vineet Shenoy, a School of Engineering junior.

Students had 90 minutes to read and analyze the cases from Rutgers and other universities and find a way to quantify and measure Rutgers pride.

With President-elect Donald Trump’s surprise victory on Nov. 8, more women are planning visits to the gynecologist.

Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), women have access to 18 different types of birth control, but there is uncertainty as to whether birth control will remain available under the new administration, which has previously voiced desire to repeal the ACA.

Following the election results, Planned Parenthood branches across the country have experienced influxes in women making appointments and asking about long-term birth-control methods such as intrauterine devices (IUDs), National Public Radio (NPR) reports. The concern stems from Trump’s views on women’s reproductive rights.

An IUD is a small device that is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. It can remain effective

for up to 12 years, according to Planned Parenthood. The ACA allows insurance companies to provide coverage for approved forms of birth control, allowing women to access basic preventative resources regardless of their financial stance.

Trump’s campaign aligned itself closely with ideologies of the Christian right, with a priority on limiting and banning abortions, said Mar y Hawkeswor th,

The proposal added that many American college and universities are located near rivers or other bodies of

water, and Rutgers’ prominence could be enhanced by taking initiative in studying local marine life.

The new marine vessel is an integral part of the University Strategic Plan, said Hugh Roarty, a research project manager in the Department of Marine and Coastal Ser vices and director of RU COOL. The project received funding from the Chancellor’s Office,

the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences and the Department of Marine and Coastal Ser vices.

Schofield said he hopes the boat will unite the New Brunswick campuses together.

“For some Rutgers students, the Raritan River is a physical barrier separating campuses experienced primarily through the windows of a bus,” Schofield said.

Committee says recognizing existence of slavery in Rutgers history is important to progress continued from front records, including files as mundane as wills, said Miya Carey, a Ph.D. candidate with the Department of History. The committee looked at wills which many slave-holders used to bequeath slaves to their descendants.

Financial records also played a role. Will - the slave rented to Queen’s College during the construction of Old Queens - was only discovered because the doctor who owned him recorded that information, said Jesse Baykor, a Ph.D. candidate.

The committee believes other slaves were involved in building Old Queens because the contractors involved were verified slave-holders, but have not discovered any documentation confirming this, he said.

Kendra Boyd, a Ph.D. candidate at Rutgers, said the practice of slaver y was prominent during Queen’s College’s early years, at least in part because it

Study finds millennials are increasing coffee consumption

Millennials — people between the ages of 18 and 34 — have been increasing the amount of coffee they drink, and now account for about 44 percent of global coffee consumption. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY DIMITRI RODRIGUEZ / PHOTO EDITOR

Noa Halff associate news editor

Not only is coffee trendy on Instagram, but the caffeinated drink is being consumed in large quantities by millennials who are increasing its price and demand to historic records.

Millennials between ages 19 and 34 have caused a surge in U.S. demand for coffee, consuming about 44 percent of it and

making it a top five raw material on the Bloomberg Commodity Index, according to the Washington Post.

The coffee trend is also starting young, with those born after 1995 beginning to consume it at about age 14.

Millennials consume more cof fee than other generations have in order to stay aler t and keep up with their busy lives, said Chung Yang, a distinguished professor and John

L. Colaizzi Endowed Chair in Pharmacy.

“Cof fee is more appealing to millennials possibly because of the images presented

by Starbucks and the media,” he said.

Two forces are driving millennials’ increasing coffee consumption, the Washington Post reported.

Coffee culture, including the proliferation of coffee shops, is driving the recent increase in consumption, according to the

article. Urbanization is another factor, with those who move into cities beginning to consume coffee for the first time.

The status, experience and personalization attached to coffee embodies millennial values, according to the article. It is more socially acceptable and trendy to drink coffee compared to other beverages, such as soda.

Due to increasing demand, the price of certain coffee beans is skyrocketing and has reached the highest level since early 2015, the Washington Post reported.

Investors should expect more gains in the future, with demand over the next year potentially outstripping supply.

Coffee shops can be seen all throughout New Brunswick, said Jessica Strauss, a School of Social Work junior.

“There is coffee everywhere.

To-go cups can be seen in student’s hands, Keurigs are in their dorms, we even have coffee vending machines in the library,” she said.

As Strauss walks to class every morning, she said the Dunkin Donuts line is out the door.

“People rely on coffee in college,” she said. “Even late at night in the library, everyone is drinking coffee. I am used to having a cup in the morning occasionally,

but I see people drink it all the time, everywhere.”

The existing research shows two to three cups a day can be beneficial to most, but Yang said excessive amounts of caffeine consumption may be harmful.

Drinking a moderate amount of coffee has health benefits, according to Mayoclinic.com. Coffee can protect against Parkinson’s disease, type 2 diabetes and liver and cardiovascular disease.

Studies show it can also improve long-term memory and decrease the risk of depression.

Still, there are negative effects of high coffee consumption.

Two or more cups of unfiltered coffee per day is linked with an increase risk of heart diseases and mild elevations in cholesterol levels, according to the article. Studies have shown high consumption may also lead to insomnia, nervousness, restlessness, irritability, a fast heartbeat, muscle tremors and may increase risk of early death.

“I try to only drink it when I am feeling tired and need to get through a busy day ahead of me,” Strauss said. “I don’t ever want to feel dependent on a beverage.

Just because it is socially acceptable to drink, doesn’t mean it’s healthy for you.”

SIMPLE SCIENCE What goes into popcorn?

This weekend, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” gathered up $75 million in ticket sales in theaters.

Many of those viewers were probably enjoying a bucket of popcorn while watching the magic unfold on the screen. So what’s the magic that makes a kernel pop into a piece of popcorn?

Each popcorn kernel contains a tiny droplet of water surrounded by a cellulose shell. When the kernel get heated, the droplet

turns into steam, according to The Discovery Channel. Since molecules of steam are more energetic and take up more space than molecules in the liquid state, the steam creates pressure inside the kernel.

Once it reaches a certain pressure, the hull bursts and the starch transforms into a fluffy piece of popcorn. The popcorn needs to be heated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit in order to create the needed pressure to open up the hull.

Proposal for new play about Donald Trump

I

n these dark times, one can expect little from their government.

PEOPLE AND ...

When a mango Mussolini is running our government ZACHARY SINKIEWICZ and individuals like Pence can’t take any sort of statement from a theatrical production without there being massive Twitter backlash, it’s time to turn to your local news. I’m thankful that the Targum won’t be censored, but for how long I’m not sure. I know my article doesn’t innately focus on politics, but I’m going to take that route today and attempt to pursue a more serious veil.

With the election of Donald Trump, every hateful bigoted thing he has said has been verified and with acts of violent hate crimes rising in the past few days after the election (albeit declining now) there is much concern. The statement made after the Hamilton production towards Mike Pence, the Vice President-elect is completely founded and fair.

I find it very ironic that Republicans vicariously repudiate safe spaces as a concept but are incredibly offended by protests and a theatrical statement post-Hamilton (an amazing musical by the way, go see it if you have $1,000 to spend on a ticket — I wish I could go). The theater is an amazing forum of self-expression. From the beautiful Broadway strip to Shakespeare’s theater in England, there is a certain universality behind theater.

However, at the same time, theater is subjective in its nature, and perhaps that is why we as people are drawn to it and should be concerned about Trump’s reaction. The attempt to boycott arguably one of the most successful and brilliantly written productions in all of theatrical history is an indirect infringement of the right to selfexpression. It’s not as if the boycott will work. This production has been sold out for quite awhile and I don’t perceive that changing since there is a long line of people waiting to see it still and I don’t believe most Trump supporters are theater connoisseurs. But the attempt ties back to the problematic notion that a simple speech or, perhaps in this case, plea isn’t acceptable. It can be argued that the cast’s decision represents a deviation from normally acceptable discourse, but due to the individual and political undertones it was directed at, there is an outrage. In response to this outrage there is a “name a Pence musical” twitter trend happening, and I would like to propose a musical of my own.

I call it Trump the Musical. It starts with a performative piece consisting of the Orange Man Group (analogous to the blue man group). The story focuses on a boy with small hands who attempts to rise to the top and strikes it lucky when his father leaves him a small inheritance of $1 million “Luck: be part of the Capitalist System.” The seeming hero of the story becomes a villain, exploiting the capitalist system and cheating individuals out of millions for his own gain, the song for this section of course being “$525,600 million.” Ultimately he lies to the people and hates his life more, spiraling into a aggressive cycle. In the end Trump transforms into a Dragon who is killed in four years by the new protagonist, Reason and his sidekick Empathy to the sound of “O Fortuna.” This is not meant to be a sarcastic jibe towards our current presidential situation, but it is merely an idea to emphasize to importance of self-expression.

We should not attempt to limit non-destructive speech against our government because in doing so we limit ourselves and our forms of expression. Theater isn’t always a place to feel safe - it’s a place to explore ideas, to make declarations. In fact, if theater makes you feel uncomfortable, it’s probably having an important theatrical impact on you as an individual.

So no, cast of Hamilton, you should not apologize, and no, Republicans or Pence supporters, you should not be angry or disturbed because at the end of this argument your allegedly “hands-off” approach is limiting our liberties.

Effective Trump opposition starts with your mental health A RAY OF ESPERANZA VANESSA RAYMOND-GARCIA

I

t’s only been 13 days since the election results rolled in — 13! It feels like the world was turned on its head and has not been balanced ever since. Within the past two weeks, we have all felt a noticeable shift in our own and others’ behavior. In that time, I have managed to feel ever y emotion associated with unhappiness and anger one can think of and cycle through most of the stages of grief.

Those who will be undeniably affected by Donald Trump being chosen as the President-elect have felt some variation of the same spectrum of emotion.

What has become apparent is that I am not just feeling a sense of loss for myself, but a collective loss for the people around the world who are genuinely fearful for their lives, and with good reason. There is a heaviness that has blanketed our ability to cope with a reality that is still so unsure, that could ver y literally spell the end for some.

There are people who will not nor cannot accept the fact that Donald Trump will take over the Oval Office and, in effect, be the most powerful man in the world on Jan. 20, 2017. Their reasoning being that if

they accept such a fact, it will make them feel as if they are being complicit with the social injustices that are meant to keep people of color, queer individuals, women and other groups who have been historically marginalized for centuries at the bottom of the food chain. On the other hand, others are intensely accepting this fact, and in doing so, are using it as fuel to fire their passion to take down the multiple and intersecting systems of oppression

should have known better given the fact that a black man held the highest office for not just one, but two terms. Breaking two glass ceilings in such a short amount of time was something we should not have had such high expectations to happen.

The idea of an individual who is KKK-endorsed, racist, white nationalist-supported, sexist, xenophobic, bigoted, misogynistic, anti-immigrant, anti-climate change, etc., taking control of the oval office is some-

“All of this is to say that your grief is real and valid. During the next few weeks, do not internalize anyone telling you otherwise.

Regardless, we are going to and should be working overtime to ensure that this man, his agenda and all of his supporters are unable to continue and worsen the systems of global imperialism and capitalism. Until we can individually and collectively mourn such a loss, however, we will not be able to be effective in doing so.

While it was incredibly optimistic for many of us to believe that we would soon have our first Madame President, we

thing those of us mourning surely did not want. While Donald Trump is someone who should most definitely be feared, we should also be careful of the individuals who support and promote all of the things Trump represents. They are the ones who interact with us every day, and, if provoked, can very well be a serious danger to our personal safety, as demonstrated by acts throughout the country.

All of this is to say that your grief is real and valid. During the next few weeks, do not accept anyone telling you otherwise.

Grief usually kicks in when we have lost a considerable amount of hope in something we were once so optimistic about, that we felt we had so much reason to believe would become truth. There will most definitely be people who, after telling them the reason you have not been yourself lately is because of the election results, will try to invalidate and erase your legitimate concerns. Understand that these particular moments will show you who you should and should not keep around, and you should most certainly not feel the need to rush through your process of grieving. It is important to take the necessary steps to get over the shock and the sense of loss you feel on an individual and collective level because not letting yourself properly address these feelings will only prolong the process. If you take your time, are patient with yourself and do not allow the internalization of others invalidating your feelings, you will be able to start coping better eventually. We are going to need every person possible to take part in the movement against all things hateful after this historic blow, but you need to take care of yourselves and your loved ones first.

But the two points made the difference, as he grabbed a 2-0 decision over McCabe, launching Princeton to an early 3-0 meet lead.

Following the first fight was one between junior Tyson Dippery and sophomore Pat D’Arcy in the 133 weight class.

No. 13 Dippery opened the scoring for the Knights early, garnering a couple of takedowns to tack on some points. He finished his day with an escape to run the score up to 7-2, collecting the decision and bringing the score to a deadlock.

Ashnault seemed to be ready to add to Rutgers’ tally, as he scored a quick takedown to keep himself distant from Kolodzik.

The match proved relatively even throughout the first two periods, though the All-American had the slight lead.

As the final seconds of the third period wore down, Kolodzik, behind 3-2, scored a monumental takedown to take the lead and secure an upset victory over the No. 3 ranked 141-pounder in the nation, walking Princeton to a 6-3 advantage.

Page 13 KNIGHT NOTEBOOK KNIGHTS HAD MORE PUNTS (12) THAN COMBINED FIRST DOWNS, POINTS

RU’s offense sputters again in fourth shutout of season Eric Mullin Associate Sports Editor

PISCATAWAY— On a night that saw the Rutgers football team set a Big Ten record for the most punts in a single season, the Scarlet Knights put on the kind of offensive performance that more-than-occasionally pushed to shatter that type of mark.

For the fourth time this season, punter Michael Cintron had his number called more than the Knights had first downs (five) and total points combined in Rutgers’ (29, 0-8) 39-0 shutout loss to No. 8 Penn State (9-2, 7-1) at High Point Solutions Stadium on Saturday night.

After David Bonagura missed a 43-yard field goal on the Knights’ opening drive, a Cintron punt would end Rutgers’ final 12 possessions of the game as the sophomore punter flew by the former conference-high tally of 86 and ended the night with 89-and-counting punts on the season.

For an offense that could only seemingly go upward following its 149-total-yard shutout effort against Michigan State last week, the Knights somehow managed to regress.

Rutgers failed to reach the century mark in total yardage for the second time this season, throwing for 48 yards and rushing for another 39.

“You look at the stats, we’re not even one-dimensional,” said head football coach Chris Ash. “There’s a combination of things. Like I’ve said before, I’m never going to make an excuse. I’m not going to ever say it’s about players. It’s about us coaching and executing and

The Knights’ opening drive was indicative of the kind of night Rutgers’ offense would go on to have.

After the Nittany Lions fumbled the opening kickoff, the Knights took over at Penn State’s 19. On the first play Rutgers called a sweep to running back Josh Hicks, who was dropped for a loss of 7 yards after Malik Golden broke through the Knights’ offensive line.

Sophomore quarterback Giovanni Rescigno’s pass on second down would fall incomplete and Rescigno would be

SENIOR Rutgers’ defense held on early, but second half explosion from PSU buried Knights continued from back fense, and though the defense held its own for much of the first half, the wall eventually cracked and the points flooded in as the No. 8 Nittany Lions handed the Knights their second-straight shutout loss in a 39-0 beatdown on Senior night.

“Disappointing that Senior Night didn’t end on a positive.

Didn’t give them an opportunity to leave their legacy in this football program and this University the way that we wanted,” Ash said.

“My heart goes out to them right now because we really wanted to finish on a positive note for them.”

stuffed for no gain on a thirddown rush.

Rutgers had the opportunity to seize momentum and get on the board first, but it wound up being pushed back to the limit of Bonagura’s range and came away with nothing to show for. Following that missed field goal, the Knights would go three-and-out on eight of their final 12 drives.

“It hurt,” Ash said of failing to score on the opening drive. “You know, you go down the field, you kick the ball off, you recover a fumble and we lose yards, and then can’t put the ball between the uprights for some points. That hurt.”

The root of Rutgers’ struggles on offense was its inability to generate a consistent rushing game. On 33 attempts, the Knights were able to gain just 39 yards rushing, which is good for a measly 1.2 yards per carry.

Rutgers had early success in rotating in Tylin Oden at quarterback for draw plays, but the Nittany Lions quickly caught on and began to sit on the rush when Oden entered the game. The freshman quarterback finished with 19 yards rushing across seven carries compared to just one pass attempt that fell incomplete.

That inability to establish a running game put Rescigno and the

While Rutgers’ offense played at the same level all night, gaining just 87 total yards and punting so much that junior Michael Cintron broke the Big Ten single-season record with his 8th of the night and 87th of the year, its defense began the night seemingly headed for its best display of the season.

The 16th ranked redzone defense in the countr y showed why it ranked top in the categor y nationally for a pair of weeks at the start of the season, holding Penn State to 9 points in four

consecutive trips to the Knights’ final 20 yards.

But with each stop came just a few minutes of rest — Rutgers sustained just one drive longer than 2 and a half minutes all night — and with the fatigue came more mistakes.

Suddenly the 4-yard gains from Nittany Lions running back Saquon Barkley became 18 and the field goals turned to touchdowns.

The crowd announced at 51,366 had been reduced a few thousand, most of which were happy Penn State fans indifferent to the rain, the hail and the snow that fell as quickly as the hopes of those who left early.

“I think we played well in the first half,” said fifth-year senior defensive tackle Darius Hamilton, who was 1 of 17 seniors honored in a pregame ceremony. “I think they made some major, major halftime adjustments and they hit us where it hurt in the second half.”

It took Penn State three plays to enter the endzone in its first drive of the second half, with Barkley accounting for half of the 10 yards it needed to cover after blocking and recovering a Cintron punt.

Tyler Davis hit his fourth field goal of the afternoon on the Nittany Lions’ next drive, but it was Andre Robinson’s 2-yard touchdown rush that put the game out of reach as they took a 26-0 lead.

Knights in long, obvious passing situations on third down, which Rutgers has consistently struggled with converting this season. Saturday night was no different either, as the Knights finished 1-for-14 on third downs.

“I just don’t think we were together as a whole executing,” said senior wide receiver Andre Patton.

“It wasn’t one person specifically, it was just us as an offense. We (weren’t) clicking, we (weren’t) doing what we (were) supposed to do.”

After seemingly finding an offensive groove for the first time in Big Ten play in its 34-32 loss to Minnesota, Rutgers’ offensive performance has exponentially regressed in the three games since.

But despite being shut out and failing to muster any sort of rhythm on offense for the second consecutive week, the Knights were quick to defend the play calling of offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer, who was not made available for comment postgame.

“One-hundred percent confidence in coach Mehringer,” Rescigno said. “Every single call he gives me I feel like he puts us in the best position to win the game. Coach Mehringer’s always someone that’s straight up, I talk to him a lot about what’s going on, what I’m seeing and whatever play call he gives me and whatever the gameplan is going into it I’m 100 percent confident and I know he’s 100 percent confident in me. And I wanna be out there.”

night that saw Penn State gain 549 yards of total offense.

“Combination of different things,” said fifth-year senior defensive end Julian Pinnix-Odrick, one of the Knights’ four captains.

“Just finishing the game and things like that. It’s emotional, it takes a toll on you throughout the game and I gotta do a better job as a leader to make sure things stay on course.”

With one game to go in the season, it would take an all-time performance from Maryland next week to sink Rutgers deeper into the hole of frustration it finds itself in.

In its four games against the Nittany Lions, then-No 3. Michigan, Michigan State and then-No. 2 Ohio State, the Knights have been outscored 224-0 and outgained 2,258-382.

But despite having nothing to lose and little to gain in the final 60 minutes of the 2016 season, the final week of the season is expected to be treated no differently than the 11 others that preceded it.

“I said I love them and they just gotta keep working. There’s only a week left, but shame on you if you treat it like it’s not important,” Hamilton said of his message to the locker room after the game.

“Regardless of the record or whatever else, I love the game of football. I’m going to continue to work every day.”

November 21, 2016 WOMEN’S SOCCER NO. 5 GEORGETOWN 2, RUTGERS 0

Loss in NCAA Tournament marks end of Knights’ year Alex Gold Staff Writer

On a partly sunny Friday afternoon in our nation’s capital, the Rutgers women’s soccer team saw its season come to an end via a 2-0 defeat at the hands of No. 5 Georgetown.

The Scarlet Knights’ (12-5-6) loss in the second round of the NCAA tournament was not necessarily a surprising one due to their underdog status versus the Hoyas, but it was a touch disappointing for a squad that nearly won the Big Ten title.

“I felt we were ready and up for the challenge, but we didn’t end up playing our best soccer,” said head coach Mike O’Neill. “Every game at this level is tough and Georgetown did a good job of capitalizing on our mistakes.”

Rutgers allowed a goal in each half without scoring one at all, rendering the match the first time the team had been shutout since Oct. 22.

The Knights were uncharacteristically quiet on offense throughout the contest, earning one lone corner kick and only attempting four shots with just two landing on frame.

Rutgers’ defense, on the other hand, was largely effective during the match but suffered a couple of mishaps that ultimately proved costly.

Georgetown improved to 18-23 with the victory, and the Hoyas can thank junior midfielder Rachel Corbaz for being a massive help to their effort.

Corbaz had her fingerprints all over the match as the First Team All-Big East nominee

Head coach Mike O’Neill said that despite not reaching the ultimate goal of a national championship, he is content because his team grew as players during the season. THE DAILY TARGUM / SEPTEMBER 2016 notched an assist on both of the goals scored.

The junior extended her lead as the player with the most points within the Georgetown outfit, adding 2 to increase her season total to 38.

The first goal Corbaz set up occurred in the 19th minute of the match when she sent the ball down the middle of the field to redshirt freshman Amanda Carolan.

Carolan was mid-sprint and proceeded to slide by the Rutgers back line and deposit a shot to the back of the net. That early strike gave the Hoyas a 1-0 advantage, which would remain the mark until the last 10 minutes of the game.

In the 82nd minute, Corbaz found senior defender Marina Paul, who fired a header directly at senior Alana Jimenez.

It appeared as though the goalkeeper was going to make the save, but couldn’t secure it in her hands before it crossed the goal line and the referee whistled the play a goal.

The Knights did not perform nearly as well as they had been recently, but the team still put in a phenomenal effort.

“I can count on our players to always give their best even when

they’re struggling to find a rhythm,” O’Neill said. “I’ve been with the Rutgers women’s soccer program for 16 years, including the last three as head coach, and I don’t remember a single day where there wasn’t a full effort from the team.”

Hustle and determination have been a staple of the Knights’ gameplay for a while, as the side has prided themselves on fighting to the culmination of every on-field battle.

That mentality is a big reason Rutgers advanced to its fifth consecutive NCAA tournament and its third conference final in the last four seasons.

In addition, the Knights have reached the second round of the NCAA postseason in each of the last three years despite an underwhelming 11-9-5 all-time record in the tournament.

2015 had a large part in the improvement of that overall winloss mark when Rutgers went on a remarkable run all the way to the final four of the College Cup. After achieving that level of success, there were looming expectations for the Knights this season, but considering the team lost many contributors and had 13 newcomers, they competed impressively.

“We obviously wanted more -- to have the season go on as long as possible and win a championship,” O’Neill said. “Only one team goes home fully happy at the end of the year, but at the same time I’m content because our team grew as players and as people each and every day.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL RUTGERS 78, NIAGARA 65

RU wins first 4 games of season for first time since 2000 Brian Fonseca Sports Editor

The final score of the Rutgers men’s basketball team’s 78-65 win over Niagara was as bloated as the three that came before it.

The Scarlet Knights dominated Niagara thoroughly in the second half of a fourth-straight, double-digit victory to start the first year of head coach Steve Pikiell’s tenure on the Banks, but it didn’t come as easy as the first two.

“Obviously we have to improve in a lot of different areas,” Pikiell said. “But it’s a win, so let’s enjoy it for a second.”

Before the Knights (4-0) buried the Purple Eagles (0-4) with a 16-0 run midway through the second half to take a 57-42 lead.

They had to endure an opening half in which the visitors remained glued to them the whole way.

Twice it seemed Rutgers was beginning to pull away before watching Niagara climb back, first losing a 13-9 lead to two quick buckets in the paint, then 19-13 lead it subsequently built to consecutive shots from deep.

When the Knights took a 33-23 lead with 4 minutes remaining in the first half, the Purple Eagles,

who were projected to finish last among the 11 teams in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC), didn’t flinch. The visitors finished the first half on a 7-2 run and outscored Rutgers 7-4 to start the second, tying the game at 39 with 16 minutes remaining in the contest.

In a moment where fans expected the team to crumble, the Knights rose to the occasion, scored 16 straight and never looked back.

“After we went on that run, we created some distance in our lead,” said junior guard Nigel Johnson. “I felt like we did a good job closing the game and that’s what we were focused on is finishing.”

The key to Rutgers outlasting Niagara, just as it was in the first three wins, was in its bench. The Knights’ reser ves outscored their Eagle counterparts 42-3, fueled mostly by a team-high 20 point performance from Johnson.

He was helped by fellow junior guard Mike Williams, who contributed 12 points of his own, with six coming from shots behind the arc, four from the free throw line and the final two inside the paint.

Altogether, Rutgers’ bench outscored its starters 42-36 and contributed 10 of the Knights 16 assists on the day.

“I’m just proud of them,” Pikiell said. “It’s such an important part of being a good basketball team, is having guys ready to play. I didn’t love the energy out of our starting line-up today … it gives us options.”

Johnson spent most of the final quarter of the game playing at point guard in place of sophomore Corey Sanders, who was ejected for the first time in his career after receiving two technicals, the second of which due to unsportsmanlike conduct.

“We, as a team, have to stop refereering the game,” Pikiell said. “Corey and everybody have to play the game. We’re not refs.”

The win brought Rutgers to 4-0, a record it hadn’t held since the 2000-01 season. Pikiell became the first head coach in program history to open his tenure in Piscataway this well.

With each passing game, it feels like the man who took Stony Brook from a up-and-coming program to an appearance in the NCAA Tournament is making similar strides with his new team.

The big picture, the final destination remains outside of Pikiell’s

vision, though — all he’s focused on is North Texas coming to town Wednesday night.

“None,” Pikiell said when asked of the significance of being 4-0. “We gotta start working for the next game. These guys know we got a long week ahead of us

with not a lot of time to prepare so we’ll start working on that game next.”

Rutgers defeats Princeton in ‘Battle at the Birthplace’ in front of 2nd-largest dual meet crowd in NCAA history Jon Spilletti Staff Writer

With 16,178 fans, friends and family in attendance, the Rutgers wrestling team defeated Princeton University 19-15 in the first ever Battle at the Birthplace.

The event, as par t of a Saturday doubleheader at High Point Solutions

Stadium with the football team hosting No. 8 Penn State at 8 p.m., saw the secondlargest crowd in collegiate wrestling dual meet histor y, only trailing Iowa’s outdoor event with Oklahoma State this time last year.

Rutgers head coach Scott Goodale did not mince words when it came to the overall feel of the afternoon.

“It was an awesome atmosphere,” Goodale said. “A little bit different, obviously, than being at the (Rutgers Athletic Center), it’s hard to get that feel of the people right on top of the mat. But still, tremendous crowd. Good for New Jersey wrestling.”

The Scarlet Knights (4-0) picked up the victory over Princeton (0-1) in what was

a contest of fluctuating momentum and energy, with both sides controlling different segments of the affair.

The afternoon commenced with the 125-pound bout between Rutgers redshirt senior Sean McCabe and Princeton freshman Ty Agaisse.

FOOTBALL NO. 8 PENN STATE 39, RUTGERS 0

Senior Night spoiled in shutout loss to PSU Brian Fonseca Sports Editor

PISCATAWAY — Saturday night started with something the Rutgers football team hadn’t seen a lot of in its first season under head coach Chris Ash — a lucky bounce.

Electing to kick-off their final home game of the season after winning the toss, the Scarlet Knights recovered a muffed kick reception from No. 8 Penn State’s Miles Sanders inside the redzone. The stage was set for Rutgers to kickstart its chance at a historic upset by taking all the momentum of the contest with a quick score.

But with 19 yards separating them from taking the initial lead in a game for the first time all season, the Knights’ offense managed to play itself out of the redzone, losing 7 yards on a jet sweep to junior running back Josh Hicks on their first play from scrimmage.
