Faculty members rally for fairer U. contracts NATASHA TRIPATHI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Corporate interests are trying to turn a public university into a Wal-Mart of education, said Sherry Wolf, the lead organizer of the Rutgers American Association of University Professors-American Federation of Teachers.

“We’re not a knowledge factory — we are a university,” she said.

Professors who are members of the Rutgers AAUP-AFT stood in front of room 215 in the Douglass Student Center on Friday to protest for fair contracts.

Armed with picket signs, the professors protested while a bargaining session between labor and management took place behind closed doors.

“The Grapes of Wrath” is less concerned with the fate of the earth than the fate of the human being.

Ultimately, the novel is more invested in what people owe each other than in what they owe the land.

Lawrence Buell, emeritus professor of American literature at Harvard University, was the keynote speaker Friday at the “The Grapes of Wrath Conference” in Winants Hall on the College Avenue campus.

Undergraduate Academic Affairs at Rutgers presented the conference, which celebrated the 75th anniversary of John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath.”

Buell, recipient of the Jay Hubbell Medal for Lifetime Achievement in American Literary Studies, won multiple awards for his books

and served as the Harvard College dean of Undergraduate Education after serving as a professor at Oberlin College.

“The Grapes of Wrath,” which Buell described as a “landmark of ecological fiction,” is limited mainly by its portrayals of ethnocentrism and lack of diagnostic innovation, but where the novel can claim originality is how author Steinbeck conceptualizes species and species adaptations.

The novel is not without its mistakes and misrepresentations, and eco-critics have been “leery” about the book, but Buell said Steinbeck nailed the industrialization of agriculture — the shift from small farms to factory farms.

Steinbeck emphasized the fact that humans like to identify in groups as a survival strategy, Buell said.

Center was intended to seat 500 guests, but so many people attended to show their support that many had to stand on the sides of the overcrowded room.

The large group was expected, which is why the event was moved from its previous location at Rutgers Cinemas on Livingston campus, according to nj.com.

Marianne Gaunt was studying to be a French teacher in college, but a summer job at the local library made her realize her true calling.

Now, Gaunt is preparing to retire from her 35-year library career at Alexander Library on the College Avenue campus. She served as a University librarian and vice president for Information Services.

“If you had asked me when I was in high school … if I’d ever thought of working in a library, I probably would have said no. … I would have said it has got to be boring, because you’re not really exposed to all the things that go on in a library,” Gaunt said.

Working at the library during the summer and rotating through the children’s room, the adult room, cataloguing and the circulation desk opened her eyes to all the “fabulously interesting” things the different departments do, Gaunt said.

Gaunt completed her French degree and then went on to earn her master’s in library science at Drexel University.

Throughout her career, Gaunt had the opportunity to work in academic, corporate and public libraries because her husband’s job transferred the couple to several areas. Gaunt enjoyed all the new experiences each of those po-

sitions gave her.

When the two moved back to New Jersey, Gaunt took a job at the University in her favorite library section — reference services — and has been there ever since.

Gaunt remarked that she loves the dynamic and ever-changing environment of a big university.

Libraries in higher education institutions have a special place in Gaunt’s heart because they have a service mission that differs from other public

libraries.

“We’re very lucky. It’s a very elitist place to be,” she said. “Here, we are working with people who are creating knowledge, who are researching, educating students and preparing them for their life’s work. What could be better or more rewarding than that?”

Gaunt had a hard time deciding to leave. In the end, she chose to see through the merger with the SEE LIBRARIAN ON PAGE 5

“Targum” is an Aramaic term for “interpretation.”

The name for the University’s daily paper came to be after one of its founding members heard the term during a lecture by then-Rutgers President William H. Campbell. On Jan. 29, 1869, more than 140 years ago, the Targum, then a monthly publication, began to chronicle Rutgers history and has become a fixture in University tradition. The Targum began publishing daily in 1956 and gained independence from the University in 1980.

Service fraternity discusses community work, pledging KATIE PARK CORRESPONDENT

As a transfer student from Rutgers-Newark, Nicole Yap arrived in New Brunswick looking to make a niche for herself. The organization she found was one that three former U.S. presidents and current First Lady Michelle Obama also joined to give back to their communities.

Yap, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, knew she wanted to get involved in something that utilized her love of community service. She discovered Rutgers’ chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, an international greek fraternity centered exclusively around service.

Educator Frank Reed Horton at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, started the fraternity in 1925. APO came to Rutgers on April 21, 1947 and has grown to include more than 100 members.

APO has gone on to produce notable figures such as Michelle Obama, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Presidents Gerald Ford, Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush.

Yap started the pledging process in mid-September and is scheduled for initiation as a full brother of APO on Nov. 16.

Rachel Brunette, a brother of APO, similarly stumbled upon the fraternity.

Brunette, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, said she and Alis-

sa Bang, the current president of APO, were “bored freshmen,” looking to make their mark somewhere at Rutgers.

Both Brunette and Bang began the pledging process in the spring semester of 2013. Since then, Bang has risen to the masthead of the organization, and Brunette has been appointed the position of sunshine chair, where she is responsible for keeping up morale at the meetings.

Brunette, who has now been a member for three semesters, said most of her friends are from APO. She also has two “littles,” or mentees, whom she calls her best friends.

Because APO is co-ed, she said the atmosphere is a little different from exclusively male or female social fraternities. APO’s events are a little more gender-neutral, and the “big/little” system allows for a big brother to have both female and male little brothers.

Bang, a Rutgers Business School junior, said the motto of APO is “to be a leader, to be a friend and to be of service.”

From Rutgers University Dance Marathon to Monster Mash to International Hands in Service, each brother of APO makes an impact on the community.

Every pledge and brother is required to complete at least 25 hours of community service a semester, Bang said, with Junior

Achievement Day being one of the most popular yearly events.

Brothers of APO visit elementary and middle schools in New Brunswick and take the place of the teachers to teach the students for the day, she said.

Instead of math and science, the brothers teach “practical” knowledge, such as financial concepts.

The college students get the experience of teaching and working with children, she said, and the elementary and middle school students get to look up to the people they share their city with.

JAD also serves to encourage their students to continue their education past 12th grade.

For a slightly younger demographic, APO also holds Monster Mash, an event that coordinates safe areas for children from neighboring communities to trick-or-treat on Halloween at the Cook/Douglass Recreation Center.

Beyond service in New Jersey, two members of APO have participated in an annual trip to Guatemala as a part of International Hands in Service, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing “health, healing and education to the people of Guatemala.”

Bang said APO receives no funding from the school. They raise their own money through fundraisers and receive donations from alumni.

Members of Alpha Phi Omega, a co-ed service fraternity at Rutgers, partake in events like “Martin Luther King Day of Service” every year. COURTESY OF ALISSA BANG One of their biggest fundraising events was last semester, Bang said, when they held an auction to raise money for victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. They sent half of the proceeds to typhoon relief and kept half for themselves.

“Knowing our service helped someone [and] made a difference is all worth it,” she said.

As a pledge, Yap, like her brothers, is working toward her goal of doing 25 hours of service for the fall semester.

She also participates in regular “bonding events” with the brothers of APO. “The pledging process is actually pretty great, although the

number of pledges is smaller than usual,” she said.

Pledging requires doing one-on-one inter views with brothers and other pledges, she said. The pledge inter views depend on how many students are tr ying to join APO, she said, but all the pledges have to complete 40 inter views with 40 dif ferent brothers.

She advised interested students to join APO only if they are truly dedicated to service.

“Just be a genuine person about the events you’ll be doing,” she said. “Don’t do it because it looks good on your resume. Do it because it makes you feel good.”

LIBRARIAN Gaunt explains how integral it is for libraries to be aware of all emerging disciplines CONTINUED FROM FRONT

University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey before retiring.

“I’ve been [University librarian] for 17 years, and I’ve enjoyed every single minute of my role as University librarian, but at a certain point, it is just good for the organization itself to have change,” Gaunt said.

Although it will be a sad goodbye, Gaunt is looking forward to retirement.

Gaunt can now begin to look for ways to stay associated with the University through volunteering and service missions.

Looking back on her career, Gaunt sees an “explosion” of new fields throughout the school and explained how integral it is for the libraries to be aware of all emerging disciplines.

“Who knew that proteomics would be big, or bioinformatics would be big when I started? …

It means we buy new books and new journals and new databases to serve them [students and faculty] in learning more about these new disciplines,” Gaunt said.

Even the way that faculty teaches, specifically through technology, has impacted the work the librarians do because everything must be digitized, Gaunt said.

Lila Fredenburg, director of Administrative Services at Library Administration, said Gaunt has been a leader at the forefront

CONFERENCE Lears says popular front culture of late 1930s created a common cause across political parties CONTINUED FROM FRONT

“Why do we dread to think of our species as a species? Can it be that we are afraid of what we may find?” he asked.

Homo sapiens have been evolving since the industrial revolution toward a greater degree of collectivity of defining themselves less as individuals and more in terms of their groups, Buell explained.

“When humans constitute themselves as groups, the upshot is a new microorganism with pains, desires, hunger and striving,” he said.

“The Grapes of Wrath” speaks, at least thematically, to the current time, said Brad Evans, associate professor in the English Department and a moderator for the conference. The question is how it does so.

T.J. Jackson Lears, the Board of Governors distinguished professor of history, gave a presentation titled, “The People, Maybe: Steinbeck and the Popular Culture of Depression America.”

His presentation focused on the popular front culture during the Great Depression.

The popular front culture of the late 1930s was a phase of commu-

nist party strategy creating a common cause with liberals, radicals and populists of all kinds, versus the rising menace of fascism.

“There was a compulsive communalism to the popular front culture and the wider American culture, only understandable given the emotional insecurity that

“The Grapes of Wrath emerges for all its faults for at least fitfully ... and an affirmation of human solidarity.”

T.J. JACKSON LEARS Board of Governor’s Distinguished Professor of History

accompanied economic insecurity,” Lears said.

Times have changed since the book was published, Lears said, and times have changed since the 1970s, when he first encountered the book. “’The Grapes of Wrath’ emerges for all its faults at least fitfully, a shrewd critique of labor relations under capitalism and an affirma-

tion of human solidarity versus money worship,” he said.

Priscilla Wald, a professor of English and women’s studies from Duke University, was the second speaker and presented her work, ‘“Insane Awakenings’: Vegetal Violence in the Anthropocene.”

“Anthropocene” refers to the time period when humans began to a have major impact on the Earth’s climate. She said the term has become a familiar key word across fields and disciplines in the humanities.

“The emergency of climate change, and the unimaginable threat of a world without us, calls of a rethinking of the postcolonial critique of the universal enlightenment subject within the discipline of history,” Wald said.

She said in her study of “The Grapes of Wrath,” the power of the literary arts — namely, story, poetry and myth — converts the violence of capitalism against nature in its other meaning: embryonic counter-violence.

Andrew Menna, a first-year student in the School of Arts and Sciences, said he had a lot of reasons to attend.

“I have a Byrne seminar that requires it, I have an honors colloquium that recommends it, and I’m also interested in literature,” he said.

Menna said he is majoring in genetics, but coming to this event was an opportunity to learn more about literature without having to take English courses.

of every technological innovation that has come along.

Gaunt has held many positions during her time at the University and continually moved up the ladder until eventually earning the position of University librarian.

“Every five years, it seemed as though things were changing, and I was doing something a little bit different,” she said. “That was good — it keeps you energized. I never felt I was stuck in a rut. There was always something new and exciting to learn.”

Gaunt’s co-workers gushed about how much they love her as a boss and how sad they are to see her go.

Jeanne Boyle, associate University librarian for Planning and Organizational Research, said Gaunt is a very positive person.

“She’s hardworking, and she has really high standards, not just for us but for herself … she spends time listening to us all, [and] she respects all of us,” Boyle said.

Passion, kindness and leadership by example are just a few of the qualities Fredenburg finds in Gaunt. She said she has never worked for anyone who was so universally liked and respected.

There will be a national search to find a replacement to fill Gaunt’s position, Boyle said. “ … We don’t know after she leaves who will be heading us, but it’s got to be somebody really special to take her place,” Boyle said.

U. should develop more cohesive sense of identity, culture BRIEF AND WONDROUS NOMIN UJIYEDIIN

766.

It’s written on the University’s logo and on many a red sweatshirt. Between the icebreakers and the cheesy videos, it’s one of the morsels of University trivia tossed to incoming freshmen during orientation. It’s used as justification for calling Rutgers historic. After all, the founding date of the University brands it as a colonial college, as one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in the country, founded even before the U.S. government. It’s a designation intended to make us feel a little better about the fact that we attend one of the largest schools in the country and that our undergraduate experience is more stifled by the impersonal trappings of bureaucracy than steeped in centuries of tradition.

If only by merit of being the eighth-oldest institution of higher learning in the country, Rutgers is certainly historic. But current students see little of that history during our time at the University. More so than other schools of similar age, which boast stately architecture and centuries of school lore, our traditions have faded away among decades of soulless construction projects, relentless expansion and state budget cuts. Some of this is the natural result of attending a large public university — it’s understandably hard to maintain an antiquated sense of tradition and school identity, or even to argue in favor of one, when access to the University has increased and the current student body

is so drastically different from the all-white, all-male classes of centuries past. Perhaps a disappearance of a unified identity is an inevitable side effect of these changes, which have ultimately been for the better.

But the end result is that it’s hard to define what it means to be a Rutgers student and what it means to participate in school culture.

There’s something a little pathetic about the fact that the University admissions website can only list five school traditions, one of which is “Easton Ave.” If the most interesting tradition the University can convey to prospective students is a description of what hap-

experience” that will “encourage an active and energetic environment” and “create a sense of community,” according to the New Brunswick Development Corporation, which is overseeing the project. DEVCO has similar aspirations for the buildings currently being constructed on the College Avenue campus between Bishop Place and Seminary Place, which will soon house classrooms and the new honors college.

But perhaps a more “appealing on-campus living experience” would be the preservation of traditions the student body holds dear, rather than the destruction of student haunts

“Building a more unified identity starts with building a more distinctive school culture, one that involves more than getting drunk on Easton Avenue and occasionally supporting our sports teams. It necessitates the student body to be more involved in the changes and policies of the University we call home.” pens every Thirsty Thursday, maybe Rutgers needs to work on what defines us as a school.

The University administration has certainly been trying. But its efforts at redefinition, including the ongoing construction of new buildings, have only turned Rutgers in an even more impersonal direction. The grease trucks, a beloved gathering place and home to many a late-night binge, were forced to move from their location at the corner of College Avenue and Hamilton Street last fall.

After lying vacant for almost a year, the lot is finally being converted into a housing complex that will feature retail stores, apartments and an enormous video screen. Supposedly, this will be an “appealing on-campus living

in favor of building yet another frosty modern monstrosity, whose glass and steel will clash with the College Avenue campus’ older architecture. The creation of a fancy new honors college is wonderful for the 500 honors students who will live there but not so much for the thousands of other students who won’t be able to access such resources and who won’t benefit from the sequestering of those intellectual opportunities. Expensive initiatives like these don’t foster a sense of belonging among the student body. Instead, they promote the University’s agenda of purchasing high-tech amenities and chasing prestige, rather than preserving and improving what we already have.

If the University wants to attract more talented and passionate prospects, as well as create a more distinctive experience for its current students, it needs to create a more cohesive identity for Rutgers, a sense of being somewhere other than a generic state school. This identity could be conveyed through a more unified architectural style.

After all, the aesthetic considerations of our campuses are important to establish a sense of location and feeling like we belong to a specific place, and demolishing and reconstructing buildings to streamline our campus architecture is obviously a nonsensical and exorbitant solution.

But aesthetics aren’t the most important aspect of maintaining a sense of who we are. Building a more unified identity starts with building a more distinctive school culture, one that involves more than getting drunk on Easton Avenue and occasionally supporting our sports teams. It necessitates the student body to be more involved in the changes and policies of the University we call home. And above all, it requires an administration that supports these endeavors, that doesn’t destroy beloved student institutions and historic buildings and that actively shapes a distinctive idea of who we are and who we will become — an idea that creates a home for students of all identities and academic abilities and that reflects the diversity and desires of the student body, while building and maintaining real traditions that connect us to the history of the University.

Latino leadership important for classroom, community COMMENTARY LESLEY PARIOL PEREZ

T

his month, I have the privilege of celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month alongside 90 strong, intelligent and resilient eighth graders. Together we’ll reflect on our past, reading works by Sandra Cisneros, Julia Alvarez, Junot Díaz and others. Through these talented writers, we will examine and share stories about our background and what it means to be Latino.

We’ll be looking toward the future of Latinos in the country as we look at the lives of women like Sonia Sotomayor, while also discussing our own plans and goals for the future.

By 2040, nearly one out of every four U.S. citizens will identify as Hispanic. But as we see Latino leadership rising across the country, there’s one leadership shortage that hits home for me. Today, only 8 percent of teachers identify as Hispanic. This gap has real, immediate implications for Hispanic students and is a big part of what ultimately brought me to Chicago to teach and work with my wonderful eighth graders.

Every day, my students must combat the deep inequities that plague our education

“

system. They head to school knowing Chicago has a high school graduation rate of 65 percent because of the obstacles many students from urban areas face while trying to complete their education. I see this play out with my students, but I know the struggle is not unique to them. Millions of kids growing up in diverse communities do not currently have access to the opportunities that would

themselves and their culture. Although my identity does not change the academic instruction I provide to my students, it does provide an example of someone who looks like them, speaks like them, shares similar experiences to theirs and has successfully completed college. My presence in their lives is a privilege and responsibility to shape the narrative of what being Latina

As future leaders, we can make a choice to take action and change this.

In the classroom, my identity as a Latina shapes my every interaction. Because there are so few Latinos in the classroom, many of my students have never encountered teachers who look like them. The success stories my students often hear come from people who don’t look like them, so they don’t necessarily associate success with

means. By bringing my full self to my classroom — as a woman, Rutgers graduate and first-generation college student — I have the privilege of being both a window and a mirror for my students.

In return, my students prove what can be done, demonstrate resilience and fill me with relentless hope of what is possible for our communities. Regardless of the obstacles they faced, my students successfully finished eighth grade and many were ac-

cepted to some of the most selective high schools in Chicago, where they continue to excel as freshmen and sophomores in competitive classes.

This year, 13 percent of Teach For America’s incoming corps identifies as Hispanic and one-third are the first in their family to attend college. As the organization continues to host national Latino Leadership Summits from Los Angeles to Colorado to New York City, I’m proud to be part of this group and prouder still to be working with my students, who so often remind me of myself at their age. They are the leaders on which our community’s future depends.

The path toward meaningful change has been taken by regular people committed to making extraordinary things possible. Great teachers come from all backgrounds, identities and experiences, but we are united by this difficult and deeply inspiring work. Every day, I am challenged to play a role in the future I imagine and humbled to work with a group of students whose imaginations never cease to amaze. As you imagine your own future, I hope you’ll join us.

CONTINUED FROM BACK

LOSS RU has conceded three or more goals four times this season following home loss CONTINUED FROM BACK the Wolverines already clinched a victory and once again exposed the underlying problems the Knights have exhibited for nearly a month.

“It’s hard for me to explain it,” head coach Dan Donigan of the performance. “I can’t tell you how upset and frustrated I am with some variables that surround this team going out and performing every night, but it’s just very discouraging. … These guys need to start to prioritize things, and you can read between the lines.”

In an attempt to end Rutgers’ recent woes, Donigan elected to change the team’s formation to a 4-33 to start the game.

The lineup had many similarities to last year’s formation, with Correa and freshman forward Jason Wright on the left and right wings, respectively, and junior midfielder Rayon Gibbs starting up top.

But just eight minutes into the match, the Wolverines took a 1-0 lead when forward James Murphy found a wide-open Will Mellors-Blair on

the left hand-side, who tucked it into the back netting.

Michigan midfielder Colin McAtee scored eight minutes later when a turnover in the midfield led to a quick over the top ball from Mellors-Blair, which McAtee slotted past rushing sophomore goalkeeper David Greczek to make it 2-0.

The goal was McAtee’s sixth of the season and fourth in two games after scoring a hat-trick in the Wolverines’ 3-2 win over defending National Champions Notre Dame last Tuesday.

Mellors-Blair put the result out of reach off another counter attack 10 minutes later, when a clearance following a Rutgers corner kick put him and freshman defender Brandon Tetro in a foot race.

Despite Tetro’s best efforts to bring Mellors-Blair to the ground, the quick midfielder was able to hold him off and calmly finish for his second goal of the game.

The performance from Tetro was disappointing — especially since it was the game he was looking forward to the most this season with former New York Red Bulls Academy teammates on Michigan. He was replaced right after the play for sophomore defender Spencer Hambleton.

Sophomore goalkeeper Mitchell Walier also replaced Greczek at halftime for his third appearance of the season, making five second-half saves.

The Knights improved in the second half, managing six shots and four corner kicks, but the Wolverines never looked in danger of conceding with goalkeeper Adam Grinwis having to make just two saves.

Despite the end result, the Knights believe the change in formation did not play a part in the defeat.

“Aside from a couple 10 minute stretches in the game, the rest of the game the formation worked fine,” said junior defender Ross Tetro. “It was just that 10-minute stretch and we got to come out and play better.

Not much to do with the formation, just comes down to us now.”

The loss is Rutgers fifth straight home defeat and the fourth time this season the team has conceded three or more goals, a feat that occurred just twice last season.

While the Wolverines improved form had something to do with it — Michigan is on a three-game winning streak — Donigan emphasized the result comes down to the player’s commitment to the team.

“All I can say is these guys need to prioritize things,” Donigan said.

“We put a team out there that was not ready to compete or fight and it was not our best 11.”

RU wins Metropolitan Champs title MIKE O’SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER

The Metropolitan Championships proved to be a successful Friday for the Rutgers cross country teams, with the women’s team emerging victorious in winning the team title.

The women’s team has now won both of its races this season at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx, as the Scarlet Knights won the meet with ease and unseated 16-time defending champion Columbia.

The Knights placed four of the top-five runners en route to victory, including five top-10 finishers and eight top-20 finishers in a race of 109 runners.

Junior Paige Senatore led the way for the Knights, placing first overall for the second time this season in Van Cor tlandt with a time of 18:19.4. She also became the 10th Knight since 1993 to take first overall in the Metropolitan Championships.

Three more Knights finished in the top five, as senior Allison Payenski came in third place with a time of 18:35.5 and was quickly followed by freshman Megan Coakley, who clocked in at 18:37.7 for fourth place.

Sophomore Brianna Deming, the winner of the 2011 Metropolitan Championships, gave the Knights their fourth top-five finisher with a time of 18:42.5.

Freshman Alexandra Juzwiak also finished in the top 10, finishing in 10th in 19:02.3.

Women’s head coach James Robinson was thrilled with the team’s per formance

OSU Walia scored first goal of game in 13th minute, her sixth goal of season CONTINUED FROM BACK As a defender and goalie, knowing you have a two-goal lead affects how the defenders approach situations, Hayes said. The Buckeyes were able to cut the lead in half, 3-2, but ultimately Rutgers defense held up.

“It gives us confidence in the back knowing that our forwards are scoring and we are up that much,” said sophomore goalie Shevaun Hayes. “It takes

“Mission accomplished, I guess I can say,” he said. “I didn’t anticipate it being that dominant going in. I thought we had a good shot at winning and knew we were going to give a great effort. … I didn’t think it was going to be as dominant of an effort, so to see that was awesome.”

Dominant is a good way to describe Rutgers’ performance, as the second-place team, Fordham, finished a combined 52 points away from the Knights, with a score of 75 compared to the Knights’ 23.

“It felt very rewarding [because we have] not won the Metropolitan Championships since [1997].”

PAIGE SENATORE Junior

Senatore was satisfied with the team’s performance and said the team’s victory in the Metropolitan Championships for the first time since 1997 means a lot to the program.

“It felt very rewarding [because we have] not won the Metropolitan Championships since [1997],” she said. “It was really exciting for the team, and it was also exciting for me to have led the team to a victory.”

The men’s team also had an effective day at the Metropolitan Championships, finishing fourth

The Knights fell short when they traveled to Monmouth on Sunday in a tight 3-2 loss, unable to continue their momentum from Friday’s big win.

Rutgers trailed 1-0 less than five minutes into the game off a goal from Hawks for ward Amanda Schoenfeld. Monmouth (7-6) added another goal 20 minutes later off the stick of for ward Meg Donahue.

Rutgers was able to cut the lead right before the end of the first half thanks to sophomore for ward Rachel Yaney’s second goal of the season.

Ultimately, the Knights fell shor t in their comeback at-

overall in the 10-team field.

Junior Jaimin Vekaria had the best race for the Knights, finishing ninth overall with a time of 26:46.7, marking a nearly two-minute improvement on his time since his last race at Van Cortlandt earlier this season.

Two freshmen were the next best finishers for the Knights, as Trent Brinkofski placed 15th overall with a time of 26:58.6, immediately followed by Luke Wiley who took 16th place in 26:59.0.

With three runners finishing in the top 20 and six Knights posting personal bests, men’s head coach Mike Mulqueen was pleased with his team’s per formance.

“It was a ver y successful race for this group,” he said.

“We do not have five of our topsix runners from last season, so it is a new team. Six of our eight runners ran lifetime bests for five miles, which is important to remember because the distance they run now is five miles, compared to 3.1 miles in high school.”

Mulqueen was especially impressed with Vekaria, who has continued to improve his times and gotten better as the season wears on.

“Jaimin [Vekaria] improved about 20 places from last year,” he said. “His improvement has been great and a real boost to the team.”

Both teams were evenly matched coming into the game with the same record and similar stats. Rutgers had 11 shots and five corners, while Monmouth had 12 shots and six corners.

Rutgers was able to tack on another goal scored by senior midfielder Sophie Wright, but finding the tying goal was too tall a task for the Knights, who ended the weekend 1-1.

Rutgers downed by pair of Big Ten foes CONOR NORDLAND STAFF WRITER

Another weekend in conference play, another weekend with the same results for the Rutgers volleyball team.

The Scarlet Knights (712, 0-6) dropped both of their matches this weekend, falling at No. 23 Minnesota on Saturday and at No. 6 Wisconsin on Friday.

The Knights fell both times in three straight sets. They have not won a set in Big Ten play, and the last time Rutgers won a set was back on Sept. 20 against James Madison.

The Knights got out to a slow start Saturday against the Golden Gophers, posting a negative .160 hitting percentage en route to dropping the first set, 8-25.

Rutgers found some rhythm in the next two sets, scoring 17 points in the second set followed by 21 in the third, but the offense dragged the Knights down once again.

Freshman outside hitter Meme Fletcher led the Knights with only five kills on the game.

Rutgers posted the same amount of kills (18) as they did hitting errors (18).

The Knights were outplayed in all areas of the game in their 3-0 Friday loss against the Badgers. Wisconsin held clear advantages in kills (42-27), hitting percentage (.389-.071) and digs (43-34).

One of the lone Knights with a strong performance against Wisconsin was junior outside hitter Alex Lassa, who posted 10 kills on a .238 hitting percentage along with five digs.

The weekend as a whole was a disappointment for ever y person involved with the team, according to head coach CJ Werneke. He pointed out one crucial factor that the Knights do not currently possess.

“Playing against these ranked teams is something we should be familiar with by now, but I think it has less to do with them and more to do with us,” Werneke said. “I’m not sure we are mentally prepared to start matches right now. Our mental focus has not been there since the start of Big Ten play.”

The closest the Knights have come to winning even a set in the Big Ten came against Purdue on Oct. 3, when they posted 23 points in the third set.

Getting off to slow starts has been a problem for Rutgers all season, and it showed again this weekend against two of the nation’s top teams.

According to Werneke, most of the players are looking at themselves to correct these issues, and it starts with a strong mental attitude.

“A lot of the players are asking how we fix these poor starts, and when they [are not] all prepared mentally, it doesn’t allow them to excel at the other parts of the game,” Werneke said.

Correcting the team’s mindset is something Werneke and his coaching staff will address in the coming days.

Changes need to be made soon if the Knights plan on winning any conference games this season. Other wise, this season will start to feel more and more like last season for Rutgers.

“Moving for ward, we are going to have to take a hard look into what we are doing from our preparation on game day, what our mindset is like during practice and film sessions, to the time when that first whistle blows,” Werneke said. “As a program, players and coaching staff, we will be seriously re-evaluating that this week.”

October 13, 2014 WOMEN’S GOLF RUTGERS FINISHES ONE STROKE BEHIND LONG ISLAND AT RUTGERS INVITATIONAL

Knights finish second in home invite behind strong start ALEX NAZZARO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The saga of second-place finishes continued this weekend for the Rutgers women’s golf team, this time at the Rutgers Invitational on Busch campus as it fell to fellow metropolitan counterpart Long Island by one stroke.

Nonetheless, the morale of the Scarlet Knights has not faltered.

“We are close. We have finished second three times this fall,” said head coach Kari Williams. “We will get there.

The players are committed, and so am I. We believe in what we are doing.”

In the days leading up to the Rutgers Invitational, the Knights had focus and determination to win.

Junior Gabrielle Sacheli and sophomore Taylor Clark led the charge, scoring a 72 and 73, respectively, on the par 71 Rutgers Golf Course. Their scores positioned Rutgers comfortably with a six-stroke cushion lead entering the second and final round.

The first round ended triumphantly for the rejuvenated Knights.

Saturday morning opened with dismal weather conditions and a one-hour rain delay, which foreshadowed Rutgers’ play in the final round.

By the day’s end, the Knights watched their six-stroke lead disappear in the blink of an eye.

Junior Gabrielle Sacheli started out strong in the opening round of play at the Rutgers Invitational, shooting a 72 on the par 71 golf course on Friday. Rutgers finished second in the tournament despite holding a six-stroke lead entering Saturday. SEAN MADDEN “Gabrielle competed hard finishing third, but we came up one stroke short after two days of play. I wanted our first team title. The team wanted it,” Williams said. “We always want to be competitive. I want to see the players grind it on the golf course and make great pars in really tough conditions.”

Consequently, a Long Island team, led by the dynamic duo

of Cristina Felip and Brianna Maynard — who finished first and four th, respectively — proved too much to handle down the stretch.

Rutgers did show strides, though, in its level of play and mindset, especially Sacheli.

“I feel like I played very consistent the past two days.” Sacheli said. “I’m happy with my ball striking and the attitude and mindset I

had out there, and I think that is what really helped me.”

The top-five teams finished Long Island (+40), Rutgers (+41), Saint Francis (+52), Pennsylvania (+69) and St. John’s (+72).

Although the much-anticipated weekend for Williams ended without claiming the throne on the podium, she was grateful for the opportunity of hosting an event like the Rutgers Invitational.

“I had a lot of support from the athletic department and the golf course staff,” Williams said.

“The invitational was a great success because of the support the team has everyday and especially during the days leading up to the event and throughout the event.”

RU earns first Big Ten win against OSU RYAN MORAN STAFF WRITER

The Rutgers field hockey team was able to secure its first-ever Big Ten win on Friday at home by a score of 3-2 against Ohio State.

Although the Scarlet Knights (6-7, 1-4) fell short in their hopes for their first weekend sweep of the season in a road loss to Monmouth two days later, the conference win still remains a special moment for the Knights’ players.

“I’m just so excited,” said sophomore midfielder Alyssa Bull. “It’s been a long time coming, and we really deser ved it. We worked hard for it. We’ve been training for it. Just an unreal feeling.”

Bull was able to help lead Rutgers to the win with her second goal of the season.

Sophomore defender Sofia Walia got the goal scoring started early on in the 13th minute. But the Buckeyes (4-8, 0-4) tied the game just three minutes later, with the teams going into the half deadlocked, 1-1.

The offense began to click on all cylinders in the second half.

It showed when six minutes into the second half, Bull was able to tap the ball in from right in front of the net and give the Knights a 2-1 lead.

Less than five minutes later, junior forward Katie Champion scored her team-leading eighth goal to extend the lead to 3-1.

“We talk about setting the tone and the tempo of the game,” said head coach Meredith Long. “Our first 10 minutes of each half is a big focus. …We want to be attacking and put the opponent under pressure from the get-go.”

Knights drop PSU in shutout GARRETT STEPIEN CORRESPONDENT

As the Rutgers women’s soccer team’s coach bus cruised east on Interstate 80 Saturday night, the general mood surrounding the team could be summed up in one word: happy.

And how could it not be? The Scarlet Knights went into Happy Valley with a big chip on their shoulders. They had the re-

cord, the ranking and an eyebrow-raising win over Michigan a couple weeks ago, but nothing was quite like this.

In fact, “happy” probably doesn’t do the description of the win much justice.

After No. 20/10 Rutgers (10-1-1, 6-1-1) knocked off No. 6/7 Penn State (12-2-0, 7-10) Saturday afternoon, the atmosphere surrounding the program was difficult to put into words.

The contingent of scarlet faithful gath-

ered by the bus after the 1-0 win illuminated a special feeling for head coach Mike O’Neill and his players.

The Knights’ first win over a top-10 opponent since 2008 wasn’t easy.

Coming into the matchup on its home turf, Penn State boasted the top offense in the Big Ten — at least on paper in terms of goals per game and total points.

Early goals doom Rutgers in home loss SEAN STEWART ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

When the final whistle blew Saturday night under the lights at Yurcak Field, the Rutgers men’s soccer team’s sideline expressed mixed emotions.

Some players were quick to congratulate the Michigan players following their 3-0 victor y over the Scarlet Knights before briskly walking back to the locker room.

Sophomore midfielder Alyssa Bull scored her second goal of the season Friday.

Others took a minute to soak in the loss by either crouching to the ground or laying flat on their backs in disbelief, looking up to the sky.

Junior forward J.P. Correa was clearly distraught after the defeat. He held nothing back when it came to saying what the problem has been during Rutgers’ now six-game winless streak.

“It’s just no heart, no heart,” Correa said postgame. “I don’t know, we just perform well at practice, and just when it comes to the

games, we get outworked. Some guys don’t want it enough.”

The Knights (3-7-1, 1-3-1) had plenty of motivation to perform given the circumstances surrounding the matchup.

A win over Michigan (4-5-2, 2-1-1) would have placed Rutgers ahead of the Wolverines in the Big Ten standings and erased memories of its poor 5-2 loss display last Tuesday to Princeton.
