Director predicts energy policy post-Election Day David Goldston says Obama will work for renewable energy, lower carbon emissions BY ALEX MEIER STAFF WRITER
Though the economy played a pivotal role in this year’s election, the concern of environmental policy was in the back of some voters’ minds when they cast their ballots on Election Day. The Rutgers Energy Institute hosted a seminar yesterday on Cook campus featuring David Goldston, director of Governing Affairs at the Natural
Resources Defense Council, who discussed how the election results would affect energy policy. He said energy policy was a ver y large issue at stake in the election, even if it was not covered as much in the media. “One of the most remarkable things about [the election] but not much remarked on is the extent to which SEE

New York Times polling editor charts transitioning electorate BY GIANCARLO CHAUX CORRESPONDENT
Minority voters are impacting the outcome of elections more than ever, some political analysts realized after looking at demographics from exit polls post-Election Day. President Barack Obama received a loss of 20 points from white supporters in this election, said Allison Kopicki, polling editor at The New York Times.
White voters are becoming less influential than they have been in the past, she said. “Whites are a shrinking percentage of the electorate,” Kopicki, a University alumna, told a crowd of 20 people in the Civic Square Building yesterday. “Among the nearly three of 10 voters who weren’t white, Obama won 80 percent of their vote.” Hispanic, black and unmarried female voters once again proved to be a decisive group of supSEE

RUSA regroups after working on Sandy relief BY HANNAH SCHROER CORRESPONDENT
Members of the Rutgers University Student Assembly recounted their swift reaction to Hurricane Sandy yesterday during a meeting in the Student Activities Center on the College Avenue campus. Following an emergency meeting on Nov. 1 to assess hurricane damage and prioritize campus needs, RUSA members collaborated quickly and created a Facebook page to coordinate volunteer and service efforts on campus. School of Arts and Sciences sophomores Luis Fernandez and Francine Glaser led RUSA’s efforts in responding to Hurricane Sandy along with Election Day voting in the wake of the storm. They
collaborated with organizations like the Residence Hall Association, Off Campus Student Association and Student Life, said Fernandez, RUSA senator at-large. “We created a Facebook group that simply blew up with over 1,600 members,” Fernandez said. “I’ve never seen so much synergy.” The page features all the efforts on campus to help Hurricane Sandy victims in one place so that students could come together and share the resources available at the time, he said. The page, called “Help Rutgers and New Brunswick Sandy Refugees,” was updated in real time as the situation evolved, Glaser said. SEE

Association to host 54th annual show despite storm’s setback Barodia says cultural event reminds students of India BY WILSON CONDE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Despite last week’s hurricane throwing off rehearsals for the Association of Indians at Rutgers’ 54th annual AIR show, board members decided the show must go on tonight at the State Theatre in downtown New Brunswick. Morli Gandhi, president of the association, said this year’s preparations for the show were especially stressful because Hurricane Sandy pushed back practices to this week. The program usually includes a skit, which is the main event, dances and other artistic performances, said Mohitha Sripathi, program manager for AIR. “Every year, there is a different storyline in the skits,” said Sripathi, a School of Arts and Sciences senior. “This year’s show is titled ‘Chaarat: Crave the Impossible,’ and is about a young man who drops his ambitions to be a doctor and decides to try to make it big in Bollywood.” The AIR show, which is held ever y November, is meant to bring together all the different South Asian-based university student groups through showcasing their talents and skills, Sripathi said. Sripathi said the show usually has about 200 participants who come from various fraternities, sororities and performing arts groups. Miraj Barodia, the association’s liaison to the University’s Class of 2014, said there are other non-South Asian based student groups that are involved in the program, who focus on the fashion show element of the night. “It is a lot of work, and it’s hectic, but we have a lot of fun doing it,” said Barodia, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. “This

NELSON MORALES, SENIOR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / FILE PHOTO 2011 is a really well-run organization and a tight knit board, in which we get along and work well with each other.” The association prepares gift boxes for the show’s participants out of appreciation for their contributions, Sripathi said. Barodia said the AIR show requires an extensive multi-step preparation process. “Basically, we need to gather sponsorships, book the venues, dates and times, make flyers, do public relations work for the show and then conduct auditions, practices and rehearsals,” he said.
Gandhi, a School of Ar ts and Sciences senior, said planning the show involves a collective effort. “All 24 board members put in grueling hours to make this show a success, but the creativity that participants bring to the stage is what allows the show to continue and make this show spectacular,” she said. The Association of Indians at Rutgers was established by a group of Indian students more than 50 years ago to raise awareness of India’s culture to the larger community, Barodia said.
He said the association was also created to bring a feeling of community to the University’s Indian students and their families. “It helped bring to them a sense of home away from home,” Barodia said. The association has about 150 members and is led by a general board that is responsible for preparing and planning the association’s events and activities, he said. Within the general board is a five-member executive board, made up of the president, vice president, treasurer, secretar y and programming manager.
The association conducts other events throughout the year, such as a cultural dance, Garba, and an involvement fair for various South Asian student organizations, Gandhi said. She said the association participates in the Salaam-Namaste conference in conjunction with the Pakistani Students Association each spring to promote friendships between Indian and Pakistani University students. “It is to show unity between the Indian and Pakistani student organizations here at Rutgers, and show that we’re friends,” Gandhi said.

ELECTORATE Economy listed as most important issue in exit polls CONTINUED FROM FRONT porters for incumbent Obama, she said. The growth of minority groups like Hispanics, who now represent 10 percent of voters nationwide, means the Republican Party has to rethink the way it approaches the changing electoral body, Kopicki said. “[Republicans] can’t just put up Hispanic or women candidates,” she said. “They have to stand by the issues.” While Kopicki said political commentators rightly stress the importance of certain demographic groups in elections, she thinks they underestimate how these portions of the population view key issues.
RELIEF Fernandez hopes to set natural disaster protocol on campus CONTINUED FROM FRONT “If you’re on the Internet, you probably have a Facebook tab up, not a Rutgers University tab,” Glaser said. The page is for students to centralize information about Sandy relief work, she said. During the days leading up to the election, Sandy was still an issue, but the page was updated when relevant information changed, she said. “This was created on the fly … when more people were without power and there were still refugees at Rutgers,” Glaser said. Two full pages of volunteering opportunities are available on the site, which will be continuously updated.
“Obama reflected the issues that people in these demographic groups hold dear,” she said. “Yes the groups are shifting, but it’s because of the issues they believe in.” Kopicki said the polls show voters felt the economy was the most important issue of the 2012 elections, with 41 percent of respondents labeling economic conditions in the country as “not so good.” While Obama’s economic policies faced constant attacks from Romney’s campaign, Kopicki said the nation remained split on the issue. When asked, “Who would better handle the economy?” 48 percent of voters chose Obama while 49 percent chose Romney. Kopicki said health care issues were a recurring theme throughout his campaign. She said Romney’s vow to get rid of “Obamacare” was one of the reasons he lost the election, as only
25 percent of voters said they want to repeal the bill. Later polls also included “breaking news” questions concerning the effects of Hurricane Sandy on voter opinion, something Kopicki said is done ever y election. “[Breaking news questions] are usually to catch any October surprises and this year it was Hurricane Sandy,” she said. When asked how important Obama’s response to the hurricane was in deciding which candidate they voted for, 64 percent of voters said it was a factor in their decision, according to an Edison Research fact sheet. Whether or not the hurricane had a substantial effect on the election, Kopicki said the Republican Party would blame the storm as a factor that led to their loss. “I think the Republicans will blame it on Sandy,” she said. “They’ll also point to the issues and the changing demographics
and how that demographic is skewing more liberal with issues such as same-sex marriage.” Kar yn Olsen, director of Communications at the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, said the event offered students better insight into how the elections are determined. “For a lot of undergraduates, this might be their first presidential election,” Olsen said. “Many people now, especially young people, don’t really look deeply into the issues. [These events] might give them the incentive to look closer at the next election.” James Sinclair, a graduate student at Bloustein, agreed and said more students can benefit from the different talks hosted at the University. “The [events] are really informative and it’s a good networking opportunity,” he said. “A lot of people stay after the talk and they give you their business card when you meet them.”
“We wanted to just make information ver y accessible,” said Glaser, who headed the media aspects of the effort. Glaser said a group met up in Brower Commons on the College Avenue campus Sunday night to come up with a plan of action. Shuttles took people to grocery stores on Monday and split the task of taking students to vote and to buy groceries, she said. Glaser worked with Elizabeth Matto, the coordinator of RU Voting, to split the cost of providing shuttles to bring voters to their polling locations. “We’ve been working together since August,” Glaser said, adding that the hurricane threw a wrench into the planning. Both Douglass and Cook campuses had electricity issues and were evacuated to Livingston campus, while the College Avenue campus was completely evacuated to Busch campus in an attempt to relocate University students to areas with power and water, Glaser said.
Douglass had the most trouble getting power back, Fernandez said. “Nobody expected it to be this bad,” he said. RUSA moved fast to provide resources to students getting back on their feet after the hurricane, coordinating a free meal event for University students while shuttles brought displaced students to grocery stores to shop for the food, Fernandez said. “By the end [of the day] we had over 600 students [at the meal event],” he said. RUSA President John Connelly said that he was impressed with his board’s dedication to providing relief and support for University students. “Over the past two weeks RUSA members have shown an amazing amount of stamina and determination,” said Connelly, a School of Arts and Sciences senior. RUSA members raised supplies for families being housed on campus during the hurricane and volunteered their time to help, he said.
The Facebook page will still feature updates along with any volunteer opportunities that come up, Glaser said. It will be especially important in the spring when people will be able to help the rebuilding efforts on the Jersey Shore. “I think we shouldn’t just forget about this like people tend to do with natural disasters,” Glaser said. “If you parallel to Katrina, relief work was still being done years after that.” Members will go over in the upcoming weeks what the University could have done better in planning for the hurricane, Fernandez said. “The power went out, the lights went out [and] the [residence assistants] did a good job of being a physical connection to students,” he said. As part of the Rutgers Housing Association, Fernandez wants to establish a protocol to follow in the future when natural disasters hit campus and affect residence halls.
IN BRIEF ELECTION OFFICALS TO HOST OPEN HEARING FOR PROVISIONAL BALLOTS The Board of Elections based in downtown New Brunswick is scheduled to hold a public hearing at its 77 Bayard St. location, offering those who filled out provisional ballots a chance to defend their submissions. The item on the ballot in question is the municipal question. Those who voted “yes” support the idea of New Brunswick holding an election for its school board members, while those who voted “no” support the current system, in which Mayor James Cahill appoints board members. As of election night, “no” votes outweighed “yes” votes by a slim margin of 116 votes. After 381 absentee ballots were counted Wednesday the margin decreased even further to 13 votes that keep the “no” side ahead. The number of provisional ballots in New Brunswick is not yet determined, James Vokral, Middlesex County Board of Elections Administrator, told New Brunswick Today. Members of both campaigns will make a case for which ballots should count, while county voters who cast provisional ballots can push for their vote to count.
NEW BRUNSWICK VOTERS MOSTLY CHOOSE DEMOCRATS New Brunswick voters who went to the polls on Election Day largely favor President Barack Obama’s re-election, as the incumbent received 8,170 votes to Mitt Romney’s 1,448, according to the official election results from the county. It seems many voted Democrat down the ballot, as Sen. Bob Menendez won his second term with 7,408 votes to Republican challenger Joe Kyrillos’ 1,267 votes. Democratic incumbent Frank Pallone racked up 7,342 votes in the congressional race against opponent Anna Little, a Tea Party member, who received 1,360 votes. Incumbent city councilwoman Elizabeth Garlatti won 7,345 votes while Glenn Fleming received 6,800, both who were unopposed and reelected. John Anderson, a city council newcomer, was elected with 6,943 votes. The Higher Education Bond Referendum also received a lot of support from New Brunswick residents, with 5,070 voting in favor.

A church in downtown New Brunswick is set to be demolished after a three-alarm fire engulfed the building early Thursday morning. The Pentecostal New Life Ministries Church of God in Christ on Remsen Avenue suffered a collapsed roof from the fire, Deputy Fire Chief of the New Brunswick Fire Department Tom LoPardo told Patch. The NBFD is still investigating the cause of the fire, which yielded heavy smoke from near the rear of the church when firefighters responded about 5 a.m., he said. No congregants or firefighters were injured as a result of the fire.

Washington state approves gay marriage by popular vote THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OLYMPIA, Wash. — Washington state has approved gay marriage, joining Maine and Maryland as the first states to pass same-sex marriage by popular vote. Voter returns released since election night show Referendum 74 has maintained its lead. Opponents conceded the race yesterday, while supporters declared victory a day earlier. Zach Silk, a spokesman for Washington United for Marriage, called it a “historic day.” “We have always understood that there are good people on the other side of this issue,” he said in a statement issued yesterday. “Yet, we remain confident that once people see how much marriage matters to families, they will realize that the love and commitment that marriage embodies only strengthens families, neighborhoods and communities.” R-74 asked people to approve or reject a state law legalizing same-sex marriage that legislators passed earlier this year. That law was signed by Gov. Chris Gregoire but has never taken effect. It was on hold pending the election’s outcome. Washington is one of four states where voters were asked about the issue this election cycle. Mar yland and Maine approved gay marriage Tuesday night, while Minnesota voters rejected a proposed constitutional amendment to ban samesex marriage. Six other states — New York, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont — and
the District of Columbia already allowed gay marriage. But Maryland, Maine and Washington are the first to enact it by public vote. The other states’ laws were enacted either by lawmakers or court rulings. Preser ve Marriage Washington issued a statement yesterday saying that while its members were disappointed with the results, they “will continue to educate citizens and policymakers on the timeless truth that real marriage is the union of one man and one woman.” “We are disappointed in losing a tough election battle on marriage by a narrow margin,” said Joseph Backholm, the campaign chairman. Backholm blamed several factors, saying Washington is a “deep blue state.” “The election results reflect the political and funding advantages our opponents enjoyed in this ver y liberal and secular state,” he wrote. “The results show only that in a deep blue state, with a huge financial advantage, gay marriage activists can win — barely.” About $13.6 million was spent on the initiative in Washington state, with the bulk of it coming from gay marriage supporters. Washington United for Marriage far outraised its opponents, bringing in more than $12 million, including donations from big names like Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos, Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Opponents of gay marriage raised just $2.7 million.
Many supporters started celebrating early, taking to the streets in a Seattle neighborhood and cheering at election watch parties Tuesday night as early results showed the referendum taking a narrow lead. Police closed off several blocks in Seattle’s Capitol Hill area as more than 1,000 people gathered for a late-night, impromptu election celebration, dancing and chanting “74, 74, 74.” Gay couples in Washington could start picking up their marriage certificates and licenses from county auditor of fices Dec. 6, a day after the election is cer tified. However, because Washington has a three-day waiting period, the earliest a cer tificate could be signed, making the marriage valid, is Dec. 9. The law doesn’t require religious organizations or churches to perform marriages, and it doesn’t subject churches to penalties if they don’t marry gay or lesbian couples. The road to gay marriage in Washington state began several years ago. A year after Washington’s gay marriage ban was upheld by the state Supreme Court, the state’s first domestic partnership law passed in 2007. That law granted couples about twodozen rights, including hospital visitation and inheritance rights when there is no will. It was expanded a year later, and then again in 2009, when lawmakers completed the package with the so-called “everything but marriage” bill. Voters upheld the bill later that year.

After a short bye, the Scarlet Knights football team is back in it. Rutgers plays Army at High Point Solutions Stadium on Saturday, and has a bit of catching up to do. The Knights lost, as most of us know, against Kent State two weeks ago during Homecoming. The loss was slightly disappointing, but we still have faith. A laurel to the Knights for their upcoming game. Make us shine.
There’s hope again for New Brunswick’s public music scene. The Court Tavern, the city’s beloved bar and music venue, reopened this week with a show sponsored by Red Bull after closing in January. The grand opening featured notable local bands like The Scandals, Gates and Samiam. With a makeover including a new bar and VIP room, the dive may have lost some of its gritty charm — but as long as it’s up and running again, that’s OK with us. We laurel the re-opening of the Court.

At the end of Thursday’s morning practice, the Scarlet Knights football team received a special delivery from a University alumnus. An American flag that previously flew over an Army headquarters in Afghanistan was sent to the team from Major Robert Movshin, who is currently serving in the 117th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion in Afghanistan. The flag was delivered by Movshin’s wife Diane, also a Rutgers graduate, along with Lt. Col. Sam Welch and Master Sgt. Shiloh Butterworth. Before each game for the rest of the year, the team will run out of the stadium tunnel with this flag and honoring all of those serving our country. For that we give them a laurel.
Despite all of the destruction Sandy left behind, relief efforts have been happening all over campus. Greek life, the Rutgers University Student Assembly, University Athletics and the Student Volunteer Council have all organized ways to raise money to help those affected by the hurricane. From serving hot meals to those without power, to volunteering at local shelters, to designing and selling Tshirts, we laurel all of the efforts University students have made to help our region.
This morning, The Fresh Grocer opened its doors for the first time, bringing a new full-service supermarket to New Brunswick. The 50,000-square-foot store — located at 100 Kirkpatrick Street in the New Brunswick Wellness Plaza — offers everything from fresh produce to grab-and-go items. This is good because it’s an alternative to the only other full-fledged grocery store within reasonable walking distance of campus, Bravo — formerly the notoriously sketchy, shop-atyour-own-risk C-Town. This new 24/7 grocery store earns a laurel.
New Jerseyans just can’t catch a break. After battling 30 to 90 MPH winds last week, residents across the state were forced to slosh through the wet snow Wednesday night during Winter Storm Athena. The nor’easter came at a time when many were still without power and heat following Hurricane Sandy. Now, we love the snow and all, but not when some of us are still burning candles and running our residences off generators. Winter Storm Athena gets a dart.

Injuries a necessary part of the game WEIGHING IN COURTNEY AVERETTE
T
he season hadn’t even begun and the Rutgers football team already had its first injury. An ankle injury during training camp would leave Paul Carrezola on the sidelines. Betim Bujari was injured during the University’s home opener against Howard University a week later. And who can forget the most notable injury at Rutgers, the serious injury Eric LeGrand suffered two years ago. The list goes on and on. This brings up the question: Should college football be banned? Not at all. There are some opponents of college football who believe it is dangerous, that it adds no monetary value to the college or university, diminishes from a college’s mission of quality education and it’s violent. Is it violent and dangerous? Hell yeah. But college players go into this sport knowing the risks involved. If they’re willing to take that risk, what business is it of anyone else’s? They play for love of the sport and isn’t that the thing that matters the most?
Football isn’t the only sport where ing that children playing football is the injuries occur. Our baseball team last same as 250-pound men playing football. season suffered a blow to its lineup.

I played softball in high school and a number of girls on my team sustained some kind of injur y, including myself. I sprained my ankle during one of our games after colliding into the catcher. I was out for a little while and during that time, never once did I think, “this sport is more dangerous than I thought, they probably should get rid of it.” All I could think about was healing so that I could get back on the field. I enjoyed playing softball and couldn’t imagine doing anything else. Even after my injur y, I never thought once about whether I would get injured again. I was too busy doing what I cared and tr ying to win the game. This is probably the same thing that goes on in the minds of football players. It’s not whether they are going to get hurt that they are concerned with. It’s enjoying what they do and being concerned over whether the next touchdown scored will be their winning one.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
“
It helped bring to them a sense of home away from home.
This does not mean that cellphones, IP networks and fiber infrastructure cannot be improved to one day hopefully reach the reliability and robustness of POTS. Just this week, AT&T announced its plans to greatly improve its high-speed wireless broadband network, mostly in an ef for t to cover rural America. Included in that plan is to shut down all the copper networks and replace it with fiber wherever possible. While it is laudable that rural America may finally be brought into the highspeed Internet age, there is no way that in even 10 or 20 years such a network would reach the reliability of today’s copper landlines for simple voice communication. If copper landlines are eradicated, we actually have nothing left when all of our fancy tech toys fail. So think twice before dropping your plain old telephone service. It could be your lifeline when the next disaster strikes.

PITFALLS
Army’s offensive style places emphasis on turnovers, long fields CONTINUED FROM BACK ing play — also a season high — as well as triple-digit passing yards for only the second time this year. But the running game remains Rutgers’ central focus. “I think when you talk about success against the option teams, what you’re trying to do is limit them to less than three-and-a-half yards a carry,” said head coach Kyle Flood. “If you don’t, they’re going to get first downs. I think that’s how defensive coaches would judge it.” The common word heard throughout the Rutgers (7-1) camp is discipline. It is aware of how disciplined Army is and believes it must match that to claim a bounce-back victory. Typically the Knights plan to throw opponents off their game plans and take advantage of the unfamiliarity. This time around, even before the opening kickoff, the tables could turn. “We’re still going to be tough, we’re still going to be physical, we’re still going to be fast,” said sophomore safety Lorenzo Waters. “That never changes. But as far as scheme, the whole scheme changes and we just have to adjust to their triple option.” One thing that does not change is Rutgers’ focus on turnovers. It leads the Big East in interceptions, and Flood highlighted takeaways as one of the few ways to combat Army’s triple option offense. The Knights are aware that although Army, which leads the nation in rushing yards, traditionally keeps the ball on the ground, it still has the potential to turn the ball over. “The ball is in the air while they’re pitching it, so there’s a high chance for ball to be on the ground,” said senior linebacker Steve Beauharnais. “They do it very well, obviously. They’ve had success doing it, but the ball is in the air. Opportunities for turnovers are off the wall this week.” One thing Rutgers has in its favor is its style of defense. Not only is it one of the best run stoppers in the nation, but it prides itself on integrating all 11 players into the rushing defense, including the secondary. “We know [the defensive backs] have to be run fitters,” Harmon said, “and at the end of the day, we have to do our job on the pass, as well.” The triple option gives the secondary an extremely difficult game. With so much running, the possibility for problems in the secondary rises, and it can be burnt by one of the few pass plays the Black Knights run. Harmon said that is where discipline comes in. “We know on the outside, at the corners and the safety position, we can’t fall asleep on the pass game because we know they live for those one or two big pass plays,” he said. Waters believes there is a very simple solution to that issue. “We all know what kind of game it’s going to be,” he said. “It’s going to be a physical, tough game. They like to run the ball, so we’re going to have to bring it every play.”

Punter attempts to avoid self-inflicted errors BY JOSH BAKAN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
Justin Doerner joined the Rutgers football team last year as a transfer who put pressure on himself to prove his worth. The senior punter did the same this season as he tried to play up to last year’s level, when he finished as an All-Big East Second Team performer. After several muffed punts early in the season, the Los Angeles Harbor Junior College transfer decided it would be best to forget about the pressure. “I kind of tried to top [my success last year],” Doerner said. “It’s my last year. [I was] trying to finish out with a bang. All kinds of little stuff like that just [affected me], but mainly just that it’s my last year, trying to really show out.” Doerner sits seventh in the Big East with 39.1 yards per punt, which is a small drop-off from last season. But the Redondo Beach, Calif., native improved lately. His early slump culminated Sept. 13 at South Florida, when he put up 22- and 24-yard punts in the second quarter. Unlike most positions, Doerner gets few snaps to prove himself and lots of time to think about his mistakes. “I kind of just try to go out on the field with a clear head — just catch, step, kick the ball,”
Doerner said. “Once I’m out on the field, I try not to think about the little stuff.” Then Doerner’s struggles snuck up on him again Oct. 27 against Kent State, when he averaged 34 yards per punt. Luckily for the Scarlet Knights, only one of Doerner’s four punts — three of which went for 36 yards or less — resulted in any Golden Flashes scores. Because Doerner’s punts help determine the opposing offense’s field position, senior linebacker Khaseem Greene looks at Doerner as the first line of defense. “When he goes out there, he does what he has to do and puts us in a position where we’re favored to stop an offense if they have to go a long field or they have to play against that rowdy student section,” Greene said. Even though Doerner plays such a pivotal role, his position rarely receives attention. His program is an exception. “When they do their job, I mean definitely,” Doerner said of whether punters get the respect they deser ve at Rutgers. “Field position is always a huge part of ever y game. When a punter’s winning the field-position battle, I think that’s definitely something that gets recognized.” Special teams receive respect at Rutgers considering several

The field position Doerner and whoever kicks off — whether it is freshman Kyle Federico or redshirt freshman Anthony DiPaula — create will play a key role tomorrow in pushing back Army’s unique offense from the end zone. “If we can execute on offense with long drives, if we can execute on defense with leaving the field, if we can execute on special teams, we should have [success],” said head coach Kyle Flood. Special teams can also make it more difficult for Rutgers’ offense to produce, as Kent State punter Anthony Melchiori pinned the Knights three times inside their 20-yard line.
Temple’s Brandon McManus, the leading punter in the Big East, put Rutgers in that position four times Oct. 20, including a 68yard punt that left the Knights at their 6-yard line. If Doerner makes another mistake against the Black Knights, the most he can do is ignore how far it went. “Once you get caught up in all the numbers and the kind of stuff, it kind of drives you crazy,” he said. “I peek [at the stats] every once in a while, but for the most part, I try not to pay attention to that stuff.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow Josh Bakan on Twitter @JBakanTargum.

Knights get last chance to impact year BY AARON FARRAR CORRESPONDENT
After competing in 29 matches and clinching its best season since 2000, the Rutgers volleyball team wraps up its year this weekend in a matinee finale at DePaul. The Scarlet Knights (18-11, 410) face the Blue Demons (8-18, 3-10) on Sunday for the second time in a little more than a week. Rutgers defeated DePaul in five games Nov. 3 and hopes to replicate that result. “We have to recognize what we did well against them” said head coach CJ Werneke. “We
also have to recognize what they did well against us to minimize those things and maximize our side of the court. The goal is improvement. That’s the goal — to win, one, and improve, second.” Werneke knows DePaul will take on Rutgers with vengeance. The previous contest was competitive through the fifth set, and he expects another hardfought match. “We have to want it a little bit more,” Werneke said. “We have to execute in critical moments. It’s always tough to beat a team the second time
around, especially when you have to do it on their home court. So we know that we’re in for a challenge, and we’re going to see how we respond to that challenge.” Rutgers is coming off of a tough 3-1 loss Wednesday night against St. John’s. The Red Storm cruised past the Knights and shattered any of Rutgers’ lingering postseason hopes. Although the Knights clinched a winning record and their most conference victories under Werneke, the goal of getting to the Big East Tournament did not materialize.

“There’s no doubt that it was a disappointing loss,” Werneke said. “It was our last home match of the season and for our seniors. But I was pretty pleased with the level of play we had, just not with the result of the loss. A lot of times we talk about, ‘Let’s focus on the quality of play.’ Although the results were disappointing, the quality of play was pretty high, and I was excited about that.” Rutgers falling to St. John’s was especially difficult to take for the seniors who hoped to end their home careers with a victory in front of those who supported them for four years. But they put it behind them and adopted a positive attitude as they prepare for their final match. “I’m really excited to play the [last] game with our team,” said senior setter Stephanie Zielinski. “I think I’ve had a great experience here, and I don’t regret anything. I’m going to be upset that I’m leaving, but I’m really happy to have all of the memories that I got while I was here and all of the experiences and to meet all these great people within the athletic department, on my team and to make great friends.” The Knights have moved up in the winning column each year since Werneke has taken over. Rutgers hopes to make a statement to close out the year to continue his message that the season was not a total disappointment. “It’s the most successful year since 2000, the first winning season since I’ve been here and the first winning season for the seniors,” Werneke said, “so it’s been a good year and I don’t want us to lose sight of that. But the year is not done yet. Once we finish the season, we’ll sit back and have a little bit more understanding of our achievements and [what] we need to move forward.”

Winston matches up against All-American Clarion 157-pounder CONTINUED FROM BACK first taste at team action. Rinaldi believes this year’s version of the Knights is better prepared. “We all feel pretty good about it, and we are all managing our weight well, which is a big thing,” Rinaldi said. “I think we are doing a lot better with our weights this year and recovering our bodies. We are doing it smart this year.” And while it would be ideal to ease into things, senior 157pounder Scott Winston gets no favors from his opponent. Clarion 157-pounder James Fleming went 33-4 last season and comes attached with AllAmerican recognition next to his name after placing fifth at the NCAA Championships. “It’s a big match for me,” Winston said. “So I have to step up and put a statement right off the back [of] Week 2 of the season.” Head coach Scott Goodale sees similar challenges Winston faces in Clarion as a whole. Goodale wrestled against Clarion in his days as a varsity wrestler at Lock Haven (Pa.). “Clarion, they’re Pennsylvania boys, so they’ll be good on the mat,” Goodale said. “They are tough kids, hard-nosed kids and hard country. All they did growing up was wrestle.” The Knights are at full strength against the Golden Eagles, as both senior 125pounder Joe Langel and sophomore 165-pounder Anthony Volpe return after being held out with injuries. Langel, an NCAA qualifier in 2011, gives Rutgers a veteran at 125 pounds, where freshman Sean McCabe saw time this season in a starting capacity. Goodale said besides deciding on whether he will put in Volpe in place of sophomore Nick Visicaro, the only weight class he was unsure of for Sunday was at 133 pounds. Junior Vincent Dellefave and freshman Maverick Passaro have failed to pull away from one another. “Other than those two [classes], we are pretty much set,” Goodale said. Goodale is also set at 184 pounds, a position Rinaldi took over. The last time Rinaldi wrestled at 184 pounds was 2011, when he qualified for his second NCAA Championships and posted a 2410 record. But as far as expectations are concerned, he has no predictions for what is to come in his final campaign for the Knights. “I’ll let you know in March,” Rinaldi said. “But I think I’m going to be alright.” For updates on the Rutgers wrestling team, follow Bradly Derechailo on Twitter @BradlyDTargum.

High-shooting opposition tests Rutgers’ resolve BY BRADLY DERECHAILO CORRESPONDENT
Things have been hectic lately for Glenn Crooks. Not only did the Rutgers head women’s soccer coach have to deal with his team being on the bubble of the NCAA Tournament, but the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy gave him and the team extra worries. Crooks said a couple of his players’ families, including starting freshman defender Maggie Morash’s, were still without power as of Wednesday. The surrounding circumstances, Crooks admits, makes it hard to keep things in perspective. “It has been such a crazy time with the uncertainty of whether we were going to get in coupled with the hurricane and the number of days off,” Crooks said, “so I think it is important to really keep their focus and just worrying about us.” All things aside, the focus must now shift to the Scarlet Knights’ first-round NCAA Tournament game tomorrow. The Knights play at Colgate, a team resembling a Connecticut squad that gave Rutgers trouble two weeks ago in the Big East Tournament. UConn rattled off 22 shots its 3-1 victory against the Knights, something senior defender Tricia DiPaolo knows cannot happen again. “We weren’t our best in the UConn game, and we know that,” DiPaolo said. “We want to focus on not being content making the tournament and want to do well in the tournament.” The Knights have to fix the mistakes that plagued them against Connecticut to advance. Like that of the Huskies, the Raiders’ aggressiveness has produced results, earning them
47 goals on 322 shots, 12 more than UConn. Besides its 1-0 victory against Navy in the Patriot League Championship game, Colgate’s attacking style — featuring the Patriot League’s first- and secondleading scorers in forwards Jillian Kinter and Catherine Williams with 14 and 11, respectively — is what Crooks is most worried about. “I think they’re really good,” Crooks said. “They can control the game and have really good athletes up front so they can score quickly. ... They are going to be a difficult team to defend because they get a lot of people forward and hopefully the chances we get are hopefully enough to overcome that.” If the Knights are going to convert on those chances, it is most likely off the foot of junior forward Jonelle Filigno. The Mississauga, Canada, native leads Rutgers with 14 goals this season and looks to push the ball upfront early to keep Colgate attentive. “It is very important as soon as that whistle blows for us to get out there and for us to set the tone of the game,” Filigno said. “I think our biggest problems have come when we have not done that right from the beginning, and we haven’t been able to come back from that.” Not only does Filigno bring her knack of finding the back of the net to Hamilton, N.Y., but her experience with the Canadian National Team can only benefit Rutgers, which has not seen action in the NCAA Tournament since 2009. The All-Big East First Team selection has 42 caps with her national team, including a bronze medal in this summer’s Olympics. Filigno acknowledges the distinction at the international and collegiate levels, but the similarities in importance is something she is used to.
Head coach Glenn Crooks has the Knights focused on tomorrow’s first-round matchup in the NCAA Tournament after Hurricane Sandy distractions. ENRICO CABREDO, SENIOR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER “It’s not totally dif ferent,” Filigno said. “It is definitely two different levels, but it is a different excitement in a different way. For college, this is the best you can get and then on the international level the Olympics is the best you can get, as well, so they are both ver y exciting on the two different levels.” DiPaolo, who lacks play on the international level, brings something even Filigno cannot claim.
She played in Rutgers’ last NCAA Tournament appearance. Only three Knights on the roster — DiPaolo, senior goalkeeper Emmy Simpkins and senior midfielder Maura McLaughlin — can say so. So when ever yone takes the field and the importance sets in, they look up to the co-captain. “In our meetings, we talked about how things can be really
ner ve racking going into these tournaments,” DiPaolo said. “So I think it’s good that we have players with experience to be able to calm [ever yone] down and help them out if they have anxiety before the game.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s soccer team, follow Bradly Derechailo on Twitter @BradlyDTargum.

RU tackles first dual in full form BY BRADLY DERECHAILO CORRESPONDENT
Senior Dan Rinaldi walked out of the Salem Civic Center last Sunday with a 4-0 record in the Hokie Open, and as the top 184pounder in his field. But the Lodi, N.J., native felt he could have done better. “Personally, I didn’t wrestle my best at the Hokie Open,” Rinaldi said. “But to be able to win when you’re not at your best, it’s a big thing.” Rinaldi also feels that way about his performance in March, when — at 197 pounds — he compiled a 1-2 record at last year’s NCAA Championships. But the excitement the beginning of the year presents is something he thinks will yield him better results. “I’ve been waiting for this since last March,” Rinaldi said. “To get back on the mat and get back on the right foot after a disappointing March, it is going to be fun.” While the Hokie Open was the Rutgers wrestling team’s first competition of the season, Sunday’s dual meet against Clarion at the College Avenue Gym is the Scarlet Knights’ SEE

Triple-option presents pitfalls BY JOEY GREGORY ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
Army’s offense, which is built on deception, is not going to take anybody on the Rutgers football team’s defense by surprise. All of the Scarlet Knights’ defensive starters have faced the offense at least once and nearly all have seen it several times. BY THE NUMBERS

Even if they had not, it is obvious what the Black Knights are built on. “A lot of running the football. That’s what they do. That’s what they want to do,” said senior safety Duron Harmon. “But running the ball so much, they’ll catch you sleeping and they get a big play in the pass game. That’s how their offense works: a lot of running and a couple big plays in the pass game.”
That gives Army (2-7) two ways to defeat its opponent, and both of their wins this season put that on display. In its first victory, Boston College allowed 516 rushing yards, Army’s highest output of the season. And in the Black Knights’ latest win against Air Force, they picked up a 53-yard passSEE
