Judge refuses to dismiss charges against Ravi

BY KRISTINE ROSETTE ENERIO NEWS EDITOR

A Middlesex County Superior Court judge ruled Friday that there was enough evidence to support charges against former University student Dharun Ravi, who used a webcam about a year ago to view his roommate Tyler Clementi’s intimate encounter with another man.

The ruling came as a response to the defense’s motion to dismiss all charges, arguing that prosecutors painted an inaccurate picture earlier this year when presenting the case to a grand jury.

Based on his own analysis, Judge Glenn Berman cited specific evidence from tran-

scripts of the grand jury’s presentation to justify his decision.

“I’m not finding these things to be facts.

I’m finding that there’s testimony in these things to support the charges. Whether the charges can be … proven is not for me to decide,” Berman said.

Ravi faces 15 counts that accuse him of invasion of privacy, bias intimidation and tampering with evidence with intentions to mislead investigators. If he is found guilty, he may serve up to 10 years in prison.

Berman also ruled that the defense was entitled to the name and birth date of an individual court documents identify as

New Brunswick, U. honors fallen on 9/11 anniversary

BY AMY ROWE ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The city of New Brunswick held its 9/11 Day of Remembrance ceremony to mourn the lives of the 72 Middlesex County residents and 37 University alumni who passed away on Sept. 11, 2001 in New Brunswick High School’s auditorium.

The program — also hosted by the University, the New Brunswick Elks Lodge 324, the New Brunswick City Market and Voices of September 11th — featured contributions from city officials, public safety personnel, religious leaders, schools and other organizations. The names of those lost were read aloud throughout the ceremony.

INDEX

Mayor James Cahill spoke, admitting it was difficult to speak for all about the meaning of Sept. 11.

“Sept. 11, 2001 will be a day to never forget,” he said. “Each year on this day we reflect on what was, what is and what we hope will be.

I hope we can transform the anniversary from one of deep sorrow to hope.”

While the ceremony ran for an hour and a half, there were brief pauses in which the 72 names of victims from Middlesex County were said, followed by a moment of silence.

The United States Food and Drug Administration recently approved antiretroviral drug Edurant, created by a team of researchers under the super vision of Edward Arnold, a University professor of chemistry and chemical biology.

HIV/AIDS became an emerging disease in the 1980s, and the team decided to put emphasis on understanding HIV and how the virus carries out its deadly business, said Arnold, resident faculty member of the Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine.

“One of our major goals has been to use information about viruses so we could successfully develop drugs to treat diseases caused by viruses,” he said.

The team of researchers studies the structure and function of viruses and other key parts of living systems that are relevant for health and disease, and established a laboratory at the

Students explore opportunities at involvement fair

BY GLEN GABRIEL CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A week of rain gave way to sunny skies on Friday for the 2011 fall installment of the University’s Student Involvement Fair, courtesy of Rutgers Student Life.

Crowds of students roamed Voorhees Mall on the College Avenue campus between 3 and 7 p.m. to explore a mixture of informational booths, live performances and giant foam hands.

Clubs and organizations totaled more than 400 tables and booths stretching from Seminary Place to Hamilton Street, ranging from the more than 70 fraternities and sororities at the University, to the more than 300 student organizations, said Susan Romano, assistant director of student involvement for Student Life.

“The involvement fair allows students to come out and find out about all of the great organiza-

tions the school has,” Romano said. “A lot of times I think the kids are surprised to see just how many groups there are with all kinds of different interests.”

Groups present also included community service groups such as the Blood Drive Committee, Habitat for Humanity and PACT for Autism.

The fair serves as a two-fold approach to students, said Sabina Rza, president of PACT for Autism.

“The great thing about having so many people come up to our table is that it offers us a way to possibly gain new members as well as give out information about what we as a group are doing,” said Rza, a Rutgers School of Business sophomore.

Romano said some groups struggle to reach out to students during the year because of the large total of groups at the University, but an open forum like the involvement fair

offers groups opportunity for interaction with possibly interested individuals.

Michael Ferraro, a School of Engineering senior, said the involvement fair was lightly controlled chaos with thousands of attendants and a wide variety of clubs to choose from.

“There’s just people ever ywhere, and they all want to tell you all about their club,” Ferraro said. “Apparently there’s a board game club and a judo club. That’s pretty cool even if I didn’t know about them until today.”

Tim Cobb, a Rutgers Student Union representative, said the involvement fair was a great opportunity to reach out to a large population of the University.

“We hold plenty of our own meetings and events to reach out to the population here at Rutgers, but this kind of exposure, with so many students flowing through — it’s really a benefit,” said

The Student Involvement Fair at Voorhees Mall on the College Avenue campus on Friday featured performances of various dance groups.

Cobb, a School of Arts and Sciences senior.

He said events that reach out to students establish a bridge between those groups and the people they would like to inform about their cause.

“This is also similar to the goals of the Student Union at the University, the union is currently trying to bridge a gap between the students, the faculty and the administration of the school,” Cobb said.

More than 400 organizations tabled from Seminary Place to Hamilton Street, allowing students to explore their interests and gain more information from group members.

Steven Altman, Ravi’s defense attorney, asked for the opportunity to speak with M.B. on the grounds that his knowledge is relevant to the bias charge against Ravi.

“We don’t know who he is, we have no intention of publicizing his name,” he said. “All we want to know is basically … how was [Clementi] reacting? What was his demeanor? What was he saying?”

Middlesex County First Assistant Prosecutor Julia McClure argued there was no just cause for Altman to speak with him and that revealing his name could potentially risk his safety. “[Ravi] is charged with witness tampering, he’s charged with evidence tampering, he’s charged with intimidation,”

FALLEN: Thirty-seven U. alumni die from Sept. 11 attacks continued from front Strauss, wife of victim and former Por t Authority manager Edward Strauss, and others read the names.

University President Richard L. McCormick paid respect to the 37 alumni from the New Brunswick and Newark campuses that were victims, while Donna Thornton, vice president for Alumni Relations, read their names.

“We grieve anew these people who graduated from our University,” he said.

McCormick described the alumni’s contributions to society and stressed that their loved ones lost mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and fiancées that day.

“The relationships I’ve described are the foundations of a society we’re trying to build,” he said. “America is not perfect and neither is this University. We disagree with each other … and there are new problems every day. But we have a deep concern for our community.”

He said Sept. 11, 2001 is not a day to forget.

“There’s no escaping the finality of 9/11. We will never have those people back with us,” he said. “It will always be a day of grief.”

An interfaith portion of the ceremony included words and

T H E DA I LY TA R G U M McClure said. “And to believe that there might not be friends or supporters or even people who just are against M.B.’s sexual orientation — that’s what needs to be protected here.”

But Berman assured her this would not happen seeing as the name will only be revealed to Altman, who is only allowed to share it with his co-counsel, Ravi and his investigator. They are prohibited from sharing it with anyone else.

“There’s no evidence in this record that Mr. Ravi is a potential threat to harm M.B. Mr. Altman’s not going to risk his reputation and license, and Mr. Ravi’s not going to risk criminal charge,” he said.

Berman also established certain conditions under which the interview is to take place. The defense may only speak to the man at the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office with a representative from the office present.

He noted that M.B. is not obligated to speak with Altman’s cocounsel and investigator, and predicts he will refuse.

“I think that fairly balances

M.B.’s right at reasonable and legitimate expectation to privacy with Mr. Ravi’s right to defend himself,” he said.

Through a similar motion, Altman asked to access notes allegedly written by Clementi — who killed himself last September by jumping off the George Washington Bridge — as well as inspect his computer, but Berman questioned the evidence’s relevancy to the case.

Berman said he wants to privately review the two items before deciding.

He also had similar sentiments when the defense requested information from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police who recovered Clementi’s body.

McClure objected to giving the defense access to the information as well as the judge’s desire to review the items.

Berman gave a seven-day delay after McClure expressed filing an objection with the Appellate Division of Superior Court.

Ravi is scheduled to return to court on Oct. 20 to set a trial date.

prayer from several religious leaders in the area.

“We all know where we were at the moment we now call 9/11.

There is no doubt the meaning of this day will be discussed for many years to come,” Rabbi Bennett Miller of New Brunswick’s Anshe Emeth Memorial Temple said.

He shared his thoughts on the United States and pondered the reasons for the attacks.

“Our nation is precious in its openness and embrace of all peoples and ideas. It is a true strength and our greatest challenge,” he said.

Bishop George Searight of Abundant Life Church in New Brunswick led a prayer.

“We pray not only for peace but for a healing that will take place in people on this Earth,” he said. “As we remember those who lost their lives or loved ones, may there be peace in their lives.”

In between speakers and parts of the program, local musicians performed patriotic songs.

Students from the city’s McKinley, Woodrow Wilson and Roosevelt elementar y schools sang “God Bless America” and “Let There Be Peace on Earth,” while the University’s Glee Club performed “Dona Nobis Pacem” and the alma mater after alumni names were read.

During a gun salute, Mason Gross School of the Arts sophomore Rich Paul performed “Taps” on his trumpet and the Middlesex

County Pipes and Drums performed “Amazing Grace.”

Assemblyman Upendra Chivukula, D-17, said while some light candles and attend vigils to commemorate the anniversary of the attacks on U.S. soil, few donate blood.

“Blood donors can be lifesavers to many individuals. Not many of us can run inside a burning building to save a life, but many can donate blood,” he said.

He also spoke to the legacy of those who were lost.

“We must continue their legacy and continue living the way they wanted us to live,” he said.

Congressman Frank Pallone, D-NJ, closed the ceremony, saying the terrorist attacks were ultimately unsuccessful. He said the terrorists disliked the United States’ values like freedom of religion and equal opportunities for education, but 10 years later they remain.

“The terrorists wanted to destroy the principles [our] people believe in,” he said. “America is here, very strong and continues to believe in these principles that make us stronger.”

He said ceremonies of the anniversary of 9/11 should continue in years to come.

“We’re getting out of this war but people continue to die for us. We have to have these ceremonies, next year and 20 years after and 30 years after,” he said. “We need to continue to remember.”

Edison residents, leaders gather to pay respect at 9/11 anniversary

BY HENNA KATHIYA STAFF WRITER

Chants of “never forget” echoed yesterday morning at the Lake Papaianni 9/11 Memorial Fountain.

In an effort to demonstrate unity during the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the memorial service in Edison Township honored the victims, as well as the family members who lost loved ones on that September morning.

Edison Chaplain, Rabbi Bernhard Rosenberg, who started the chant among Edison police and fire honor guards, bagpipers, vocalists, clergy, township officials and invited guests, said the scenes are forever etched in Americans’ minds.

“Shock and fear remain in our hearts even 10 years later,” Bernhard said. “There is only one thing we can do as a nation, which is to never forget.”

The service also included a moment of silence to honor the 11 people from Edison Township who passed away in the attacks.

New Jersey Senate Majority Leader Barbara Buono said although there were approximately 10,000 deaths a decade ago as a result of the terrorist attacks, there is reason to see a silver lining.

“It is our responsibility to honor the fallen,” she said. “In

the midst of our tragedy, we were given 10,000 reasons to seek hope. Even in our darkest hour, there is a light. There is hope.”

Edison Mayor Antonia Ricigliano began the service by reminding guests how the attacks changed the face of America.

“We instinctively knew things would never be the same,” she said. “As Franklin D. Roosevelt once said before, it will be a day that will forever live in infamy.”

Buono emphasized the importance for Americans to disregard their differences and remain together for a common cause.

“There is little we can do to diminish the sadness, however what we can do is strengthen the resolve of our country,” she said.

“We are not white or black, rich or poor, Republican or Democratic. We are American.”

Paul Winkler, executive director of the New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education, discussed the significance of the future of teaching children about what he called a momentous par t of American histor y.

Winkler, who has been a New Jersey educator for more than 50 years, said he has written the state’s school curriculum on 9/11 and terrorism.

“We put together a curriculum for the teachers of the future. We don’t want the younger generations

just learning lessons in memories,” he said. “It’s more important to honor victims and teach our children to appreciate our differences as Americans.”

Winkler said he did not want this element of American history to fade away for the younger

generations and hopes they can understand the gravity of the situation through their education.

“I want students to learn with their heads, but to also feel with their hearts,” he said. “I want to be able to teach them to do something about it.”

The memorial service ended with a reading about the 11 victims from Edison and a singing of the “Star-Spangled Banner.”

“If there is one thing we need to remember, it is that divided we fall, but united we stand,” Buono said.

MAN’S DEATH PUTS NEW BRUNSWICK’S HOMICIDE TOTAL THIS MONTH AT 2 A New Brunswick man, shot in his home on 47 Welton St. on Friday morning, was pronounced dead at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital shortly after the attack.

Alvin Williams, 29, was found shot in his home around 12:35 a.m. and was pronounced dead about a half hour after he was shot, according to the My Central Jersey article.

Williams appears to be the intended target of an attempted robbery and the incident was not a random act, but no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting.

New Brunswick Detective Mark Pappas and Investigator Adrian Villegas of the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office, is investigating the shooting, according to the article.

This is the second homicide shooting in New Brunswick in the past month. Jesse Simons, of New Brunswick, was shot Aug. 6 on Suydam Street near Remsen Avenue.

Simons was found after calls of reported gunshots in the area and transported to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, where he died earlier that morning, according to the article.

Anyone with more information on the shooting death of Williams is asked to contact New Brunswick Detective Mark Pappas at (732)-745-5217 or (732)-745-4428 for Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office Investigator Adrian Villegas.

EDITORIALS

Honor memories, look toward future T

he Twin Towers fell down 10 years ago yesterday, and America changed forever. It was a time of terror, anger, fear and despair — a day that we will never forget, no matter how much time elapses. But a reflection on the events of September 11, 2001 must not dwell solely on what was awful about the day. Rather, it is our job now — as survivors, as friends and family members, as human beings — to remember the small amounts of beauty that came out of this tragedy, as well as to mourn the loss of thousands.

We saw America united in a way it never had been before. We watched, and some of us even participated in, the brave efforts to respond to the devastation. We were a country committed to justice and to each other. We must also recall all of those who we lost in the attacks, not merely as names in memorial services, but as people — people with faces and stories, irreplaceable people whose lives, senselessly ended, we must celebrate.

Most University students were just children back then, and it can be difficult — especially for those who were not directly affected by the attacks — to look back through the haze of a decade, back to our preteen years, and find a clear picture of what occurred. Even if it is difficult, it is still our duty to do just that. There are stories to read and memorial services to attend. There are people to comfort and come together with. No matter how detached from the tragedy anyone may think they are, they must realize that, as an American, any distance they feel between themselves and the collapse of the World Trade Center is an imaginary distance. As such, it is easily bridged.

We will carry 9/11 in our hearts forever, and in some ways that’s a good thing. Our lives can become memorials to those who lost their own lives. Our country can look back at that day as a reminder that our commitments to freedom, justice and the lives of all human beings are unending commitments. These are ideals that we can, should and must fight for always, so that nothing like this ever happens again — not in this country nor anywhere else in the world. We must not limit ourselves to remembering only on the anniversaries of 9/11. Instead, we must always keep that day with us, as a way to commemorate the past and move forward to a brighter and better future for everyone. 9/11 is a reminder to put aside petty differences in things like politics — as President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush saliently did when they appeared together at the 9/11 Memorial — and affirm the fact that we are one nation, and we work best when we are indivisible.

Americans need financial literacy I

n a surprising turn, President Barack Obama took the conservative mantra of “cut taxes always” to heart and released a $447 billion plan to combat the 9.1 percent unemployment rate, which looks to cut social security taxes for both businesses and individuals.

Of course, Obama is right to be so passionately concerned with the high unemployment rate — as he demonstrated with a rather heated speech to Congress when he presented the plan — but this measure leaves us uncomfortable. We want to see Obama’s plan succeed, because we want to see more jobs, but the meager amount of information Obama has given the public regarding this plan is a bad sign.

The major flaw in Obama’s plan is that it costs almost $450 billion.

Perhaps that in and of itself doesn’t sound so bad, but here’s the catch: Obama claims the entire plan is funded, but he has not said a word regarding where that money is coming from. It seems that he is merely conjuring money out of thin air — which is exactly the sort of conduct that led our country into the recession in the first place. If Obama claims we can pay for the plan, it is only fair that he tell us how, exactly, we will do just that.

There’s another problem with Obama’s plan, one not limited to just this instance: Of the scant information released about the bill, much of it is difficult for the layman to parse. For many, the economy is a dark and mysterious force, one which sometimes smiles down on us and sometimes decides it doesn’t much care for us at all. This widespread lack of financial literacy may be the reason people feel dissatisfied with Obama’s bill.

There are two ways in which this issue can be solved. On the one hand, politicians and economists could make more of an effort to explain the workings of the economy in the sort of plain English the common person can understand. On the other hand perhaps financial literacy could, like math or science, become a standard part of the curriculum in American schools. If both of these approaches are taken in unison, we won’t find ourselves with a dearth of information — or, at the very least, we’ll have the tools to analyze the scant amount we do get.

HEELS: Knights net just one yard on ground in defeat continued from back It was a recurring theme for an offense that produced 243 of its 244 total yards through the air, but left countless opportunities on the table.

The Knights had six sure points in the second quarter, when junior receiver Mark Harrison had about five yards on his defender and a perfect pass in his hands, but it fell to the ground for an incompletion.

“We dropped two touchdown passes,” said head coach Greg Schiano, referring to Harrison’s drop and Sanu’s miss in the end zone. “It’s so hard to create big plays. If we catch those two balls, it’s 14 points. We need to catch those passes. When the ball’s on the money, you have to catch it.

Those weren’t tough catches.”

Sanu made one in the second quarter, leaping and making a one-handed grab at the goal line to make it a 14-12 game with 51 seconds remaining in the half.

But he was the lone bright spot for Rutgers’ offense.

A trio of running backs — Williams, sophomore Jeremy Deering and freshman Savon Huggins — continued to split carries, but they combined for 18 yards on 20 touches.

And whenever the Knights created momentum, UNC met it with a sudden halt.

A 59-yard kickoff return by T.J. Thorpe followed Sanu’s onehanded touchdown grab, setting

up a UNC field goal as the first half came to a close.

Rutgers was still in a good position, as Nor th Carolina appeared poised to hand the game to its guests with turnovers and penalties. But the Knights played just as sloppy in the second half, giving UNC seven penalties to extend drives.

“It was one [penalty] at the half,” Schiano said. “I was really disappointed in that one drive where they scored a touchdown. We had two facemasks and one personal foul for hitting the quar terback late.

Those are three first downs, and still we drove them back.

But you can’t overcome that.

Nobody’s that good.”

For all but three plays, Rutgers’ defense was.

It quickly forgot about the quick strike to Jones four plays into the game and made Renner look ver y human a week after his 22-for-23 seasonopening performance.

But it just as quickly forgot about its five takeaways once Renner took a knee to end the game, and the memory of chasing Jones and Bernard into the end zone returned.

“Two or three plays is what makes or breaks your day — that’s what we need to understand,” Schiano said.

“Takeaways, negative plays, TFLs, all those things are great, but at the end of the day, those [big plays] can’t happen if you’re going to be a good defense. We’ll be a good defense, but today it wasn’t good enough. Too many big plays.”

But he totaled just 15 yards rushing on nine carries. Both numbers led the team.

Freshman running back Savon Huggins only carried the ball seven times, and toted the ball for the last time on the second play of the fourth quarter.

Huggins scored two touchdowns on the ground in Rutgers’ season opener against Nor th Carolina Central, but only managed 3.2 yards per carr y in that game.

He was not available to the media following the Knights’ 2422 loss.

“We need to run the ball more effectively,” Schiano said. “We have to sit down and figure out if it’s schematic, if it’s personnel.”

The lack of a rushing attack manifested itself when the Knights opted for a pair of playaction passes at the goal line in the first quar ter, when the offense failed on four downs to score.

RU takes positives in loss to No. 12

BY JOSH BAKAN CORRESPONDENT

The Rutgers field hockey team went to Durham, N.H., on Saturday looking to end its threeFIELD HOCKEY g a m e RUTGERS 1 losing streak UNH 2 against the No. 12 New Hampshire Wildcats.

Although the Scarlet Knights came out with a 2-1 overtime loss, they may have found something just as important as a win: The formula for a winning effort.

The Knights (1-4) visited a Wildcats squad that specialized in controlling the tempo on both sides of the ball, averaging 4.5 goals per game and allowing only one point per match.

Rutgers came ver y close to giving UNH (4-0) its first loss of the season, and the Knights did so by giving the Wildcats a taste of their own medicine, controlling the tempo throughout the second half.

“One of our goals was to have a more possession-oriented game,” said head coach Liz Tchou. “I didn’t think we did that in the first half, then we talked to them at halftime about that. Our least effective thing about the first half was our possession and our tempo.”

The Knights came close to pulling off the upset throughout regulation, but their luck ran out quickly in overtime.

Wildcats for ward Hayley Rausch put away the game only two minutes in with her second goal of the game and ninth of the young season.

But in only one week, the Knights developed significantly since their 3-0 loss to a previously winless Miami (Ohio) squad.

Rutgers arrived in New Hampshire as a team that did not capitalize on its offensive oppor tunities and could not

make up for it on the defensive side of the ball.

But the Knights came a long way in turning around that reputation by keeping it close against the Wildcats, especially after UNH controlled the first half with a 9-3 shot advantage.

The Knights entered the second half with the control they intended by generating three shots on goal. “[UNH] seemed a lot more tired in the second half, which was really helpful for us on the attacks,” Tchou said.

The play by the midfielders and backs helped out the of fense by not allowing a Wildcats goal in the second half and continually giving Rutgers possession of the ball, according to Tchou.

“We really focused on possession in the second half, and our midfielders were str uctured correctly so the backs would be able to feed them the ball,” she said.

Even though Tchou was disappointed with her team’s play in the first half, the Knights still kept it close.

Rutgers was truly able to capitalize with sophomore forward Gia Nappi’s team-leading third goal of the season as time expired in the first half to tie it, 1-1.

The Wildcats’ potent offense shot nine goals in the opening half, but sophomore goalie Sarah Stuby and the Rutgers defense were able to stop all but one, which Tchou said they did not do in the previous losses.

“We gave up a lot of shots, but we really contested ever ything,” she said. “We were pressuring them, which made it so much better than the past three games.”

The Knights begin Big East play on Friday against Syracuse, and they bring a four-game losing streak with them.

But with a near-win against a ranked team in their most recent match of the season, the Knights are on the cusp of figuring out how to beat elite teams like the No. 5 Orange.

Knights frustrate Drexel with three-goal output

BY VINNIE MANCUSO CORRESPONDENT

JOVELLE ABBEY TAMAYO / SENIOR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / FILE PHOTO

Highly touted freshman forward JP Correa scored his team-best second goal of the season in a win against Drexel, starting the scoring in an eventual 3-1 victory at Yurcak Field.

The Rutgers men’s soccer team knew heading into its matchup with Drexel on Friday that the MEN’S SOCCER Dragons DREXEL 1 were a RUTGERS 3 physical t e a m that was going to get rough with it.

What the Scarlet Knights did not expect was a downright slugfest between the two teams, ending with a total of three yellow cards and one red card for a studs-up tackle in their 3-1 win.

“I’ll be honest, that can be controlled and I’ll just say that,” said head coach Dan Donigan on the physicality. “It got a little bit out of hand there, and fortunately for our guys, they didn’t lack the composure or discipline to get a stupid yellow or a bad red. I feel very fortunate we got out of there without having something more serious happen to us.”

If Donigan felt the tensions rising from the sidelines, the players themselves definitely sensed them on the field.

“Toward the end of the second half they started getting chippy and they started fouling,” said freshman for ward JP Correa.

“But I think we kept our cool, and we didn’t do anything stupid and grinded out the game.”

Drexel’s frustrations occurred primarily because of the Rutgers offense, as three Knights put the ball in the goal to contribute to the win.

Sophomore Kene Eze capped off the offensive performance late in the game by beating a defender one-on-one to the left and slipped the ball past Drexel goalkeeper Pentti Pussinen.

It was the Knights’ final goal of the half, as senior Nate Bourdeau notched the second goal of the game on an assist in the 52nd minute from senior Nye Winslow.

“This really actually seems like the best team I’ve been a part of,” Eze said. “We can attack from anywhere on the field, we have great speed and that’s great for the team.”

Correa continued to add to the offense and was also a large part of Drexel’s frustrations, as he gave the Knights an early lead on an assist from senior forward Ibrahim Kamara at the top of the 18-yard box for a goal.

Correa now leads the team with two goals in his first year in a Rutgers uniform.

“It feels great. I’ve contributed in every game so far, and we are going to get great results because of it,” Correa said. “I’m happy here at Rutgers.”

Despite the moments of brilliance from the offense, Donigan was still disappointed in the overall performance from his team.

“I mean, at the end of the day we got the ‘W,’ which is great,” he said. “But the way we did it, for a good portion of this game … it was a huge portion where we did not play well. That’s frustrating, and we’re not going to be able to get the results we want if we have another performance like that.

Other teams could come in here and blow our doors off.”

The coach cited inconsistencies on defense, which were most apparent in the second half when it allowed Drexel’s only goal late in the game.

“Sustaining consistency is what we need to do,” Donigan said. “The attack is a nice thing to have, but at the same time, soccer is a complete game. There are two sides to the ball and we have to bring both sides every night, and we didn’t do that tonight.” next Saturday against No. 5 Florida State.

Sophomore forward Jonelle Filigno breaks toward the goal in overtime yesterday, when Dartmouth goalie Tatiana Saunders took her out to draw a penalty kick.

Pair of goals, clean sheets carry RU past Ivy foes

BY ANTHONY HERNANDEZ ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

There is no denying the abundance of scoring opportunities t h e WOMEN’S SOCCER Rutgers DARTMOUTH 0 women’s soccer RUTGERS 1 t e a m had in both of its weekend contests against Ivy League foes.

With 15 shots on Friday against Yale and 16 more yesterday against Dartmouth, the

Scarlet Knights posted two of their highest shot totals of the season.

But the Knights only needed to convert on two of those shots to sweep the weekend, with the latest score occurring two minutes into overtime yesterday off a penalty kick by sophomore Jonelle Filigno.

“We’re playing hard, we’re playing ver y hard,” said head coach Glenn Crooks after the team’s 1-0 victor y. “Our backs played much better today than they did in the last match. I

was ver y happy with the back line.”

After colliding with Dartmouth (1-3) goalkeeper Tatiana Saunders in the box on an aggressive attack, it was unclear whether Filigno would take the awarded penalty kick.

She lay on the field in pain for about three minutes, clutching her leg as she recovered from the play.

But she soon got up and made it clear the shot was hers to take.

Head coach Glenn Crooks praised the play of freshman defender Morgan Kennedy (20), who played 32 minutes yesterday against Dartmouth and 64 on Friday against Yale in a pair of shutouts.

give me a minute, I’m taking this,’” Filigno said. “Before I took it I knew where I was going to shoot.”

Dartmouth had a few scoring opportunities of their own in the Knights’ (5-2) shutout win, but they came very seldom.

Rutgers’ backline, consisting of seniors Julie Lancos and Jasmine Edwards and junior Shannon Woeller, rarely allowed the Big Green to sneak behind it or counter on the Knights’ attacks, and it reflected on the stat sheet.

Dar tmouth recorded just two shots on goal and six total, making it easy for junior goalkeeper Emmy Simpkins to record her second consecutive shutout.

On the other side of the field, officials gave both teams plenty of room to play physically, as Filigno and freshman forward Stefanie Scholz ended up on the pitch on a number of occasions after colliding with Dartmouth players.

“There were a lot of things that happened in the last two matches that went uncalled, and that’s up to the official to control,” Crooks said.

The physical play eventually forced Filigno out of the game in the 25th minute, but she returned and played the entire second half.

In the Knights’ first game of the weekend against Yale, shot oppor tunities were just as bountiful.

Rutgers fired shot after shot at Yale (1-1-2) goalkeeper Adel Jackson-Gibbs, landing 11 of its 15 shots on goal.

But only one made its way to the back of the Bulldog’s net.

“This was supposed to be a 5-0, 6-0 win coming of f that UCLA, LMU weekend,” said junior midfielder Stefanee Pace, who scored the game’s only goal in the 14th minute.

“We could’ve carried on. It was important to score early, but we could’ve carried on more.”

Though Pace provided the only goal of the contest, escaping with the victory would not have been possible if not for a stalwart defensive effort.

A blocked shot just outside the box by Lancos in the 59th minute and a critical breakup in front of the net by Edwards late in the contest were two of many key plays from the Knights defense, which allowed just five shots.

But according to Crooks, freshman defender Morgan Kennedy deser ves a bulk of the credit.

“Defender of the night was Morgan Kennedy, especially in the first half,” Crooks said. “She blocked three shots, maybe four.

She covered for defenders beaten on at least half a dozen occasions.

Morgan Kennedy was the back of the night.”

The Knights get back to work this week before welcoming Villanova to Yurcak Field on Friday night to open Big East play.

And even though his team only scored two goals in the past three games, Crooks is happy where his team stands less than a week from conference season.

“We’re a third of the way through and we haven’t even come close to the way we want to play — not even close,” Crooks said. “But we’re getting there.”

Rutgers created five takeaways, but three big plays proved too much to overcome against North Carolina

BY STEVEN MILLER SPORTS EDITOR

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — As Khaseem Greene made his way outside of Kenan Memorial Stadium FOOTBALL o n Satur day toward the Rutgers football team’s buses and then a charter flight back to New Jersey, he was not thinking about his 13 tackles or forced fumble.

He was not thinking about any of the Scarlet Knights’ five takeaways.

Instead, Greene could not shake the thought of Dwight Jones’ 66-yard touchdown catch, Giovani Bernard’s 60-yard run for six, or Ryan Houston’s 33-yard run that let North Carolina run out the clock on a 24-22 win.

“The thing that’s going to stick with me is the big plays,” the junior linebacker said. “If we don’t give them up, they don’t score or move the ball. Takeaways are good, but that’s our job. Our job is to get the ball back to the offense.”

Rutgers did that with a pair of fumble recoveries and three interceptions, but they resulted in only 12 points.

Junior safety Duron Harmon started the string of takeaways by intercepting UNC quarterback Bryn Renner and returning it 45 yards to the 2-yard line.

Of fensive coordinator Frank Cignetti called for two pass plays — one that saw sophomore quarterback Chas Dodd underthrow a wide open Mohamed Sanu and another that saw Dodd scramble on a rollout and fall short of the end zone.

And Cignetti called junior tailback De’Antwan Williams’ number twice.

Television replays showed Williams broke the plane for a touchdown on second down, but he was ruled down at the 1-yard line.

Rutgers went for it on fourth down, and the Tar Heel defense stuffed Williams.

“Looking back at the score now, yeah, [a field goal] would have helped us,” Dodd said. “We were trying to get the ball in there and thought we had a good chance, we just missed it.”

UNC senior wideout Dwight Jones made six catches for 135 yards and a touchdown, which came on a 66-yard strike on the fourth offensive play of the game. It was one of three big plays for the Tar Heels which made up for five Rutgers takeaways.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — In its first legitimate test of the 2011 season, the Rutgers football team’s offense failed to maintain a balanced attack against North Carolina.

Sophomore quarterback Chas Dodd threw 45 passes, but that number was more indicative of the r unning game’s

ineptitude than the air assault’s effectiveness.

As a team, the Scarlet Knights managed just one net yard on 25 carries against the stingy Tar Heels defense.
