‘Kids are all right’ with alumna’s new album SABRINA SZTEINBAUM ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

When Laurie Berkner attended Rutgers, she played in a band called Tender Vitals, named after some “horrible joke” relating to a brand of cat food with the same name.

Forty-five-year-old Berkner laughed while reminiscing about her Rutgers days, when she would play at coffeehouses and restaurants with fellow band mates Mike, Rob and Dave. She and the band once played for three hours straight, and in the middle of the

show, they shaved off half Mike’s beard just for fun.

Berkner graduated from Rutgers in 1991 with a degree in psychology and since then has captivated audiences from the White House to Carnegie Hall and around the country with “kindie rock,” a genre of children’s music that is not “dumbed down.”

Brett Hall, the grease trucks and her of f-campus home on Louis Street were some of the memories that flood Berkner when revisiting her time at Rutgers, and it was also during this period of SEE ALBUM ON PAGE 5

Early in their careers, many women start making room for a family, some even before they have a boyfriend, said Sharon Lydon, citing a story from Sheryl Sandberg’s “Lean In.” Lydon, executive director of the master’s in business administration program at the Rutgers Business School, is one of the many women who felt an impact from Sandberg’s stories, which expose the double standards women face in the corporate world.

This year, RBS admitted a 51 percent female MBA class, surpassing the 37 percent national average and becoming the first business school in the countr y to achieve gender parity.

With 26 women holding little over five percent of Fortune 500’s

chief executive positions, according to Catalyst, a nonprofit research group, female representation is a common issue of debate.

Outranking other top schools, including the Harvard Business School and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Rutgers provides multiple avenues for increasing women’s access to a historically male-dominated industry.

Lydon experienced the welcoming atmosphere at Rutgers when she discovered she was pregnant with her second child two months into her first position at the University.

Worried about job security and what her colleagues and bosses would think, Lydon soon realized that her concerns were unnecessary when she received overwhelming support, generosity and help.

Women who strive to move forward in their careers right away

can often become leaders in their organizations, which makes having a family much easier later on, Lydon said, stressing a point in Sandberg’s book.

“If someone wants to make a meeting with you, you’re going to adapt to the person with the higher position,” she said.

Rutgers Women in Business, a club that encourages and supports the professional and personal growth of the female MBA candidates according to the RBS website, uses connections with prominent companies to host networking events and expert panels, increasing the exposure female students get to information and culture.

Tapping ceremony invites students to join honors society MEGAN DOUGHERTY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A man walks into business class decked out in full academia regalia.

Two students follow him carrying a large brass bell. No, it is not Rutgers’ founding fathers time-traveling to the classroom — it is the formal invitation for top business students to join Beta Gamma Sigma.

Only a select few business students will receive an invitation to become part of the international honor society, which Martin Markowitz, senior associate dean at Rutgers Business School, promotes as a prestigious honor.

He entered the class for the tapping ceremony, where he honored students for being in the top 10 percent of their school.

“It is a method of publicly identifying students who are eligible to join the honor society in business, Beta Gamma Sigma,” Markowitz said.

Students must be in the top 10 percent of the business program and have a minimum of 45 credits.

The honor society is invitation only.

During the tapping ceremonies, Markowitz rang the bell, which is associated with the business school, six times in honor of the six majors.

He also invited students down to take a photo with him.

This is the first year of the ceremony. In previous years, they only invited students through mail.

When students are personally invited in their classroom, in front SEE CEREMONY 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.

Complaining is not always a negative thing, Bolden said. People sometimes complain about mishaps as a mechanism for seeking help.

Complaining can also be a way of finding unity with others, Mandelbaum said. For example, students at the bus stop might bond over not fitting onto overcrowded busses and being late to class.

On the first day of the class, the professors asked each student

to bring a complaint to the table for discussion, one of their own or one they witnessed.

“At the beginning of the fall semester, first-year students have a lot of complaints, such as how hot is it in the dorms,” Mandelbaum said. “It is a good way for them to connect and build solidarity.”

In a large university that can be intimidating to new students, she said the small 20-person class gives students the opportunity to

have their voices heard by others.

She said although the class might seem like it is geared toward communications or psychology majors, at least 50 percent of the class is engineering majors.

“These students have taken the very good advice of choosing a Byrne seminar outside of their areas of interest to challenge their brains a bit,” Mandelbaum said.

CDC establishes rapid-response team for Ebola cases DALLAS - The United States is establishing a rapid-response team to help hospitals “within hours” whenever there is a case of Ebola, the top doctor leading the fight against the deadly virus said yesterday.

Prospects for a quick end to the contagion fell as the World Health Organization predicted that three impoverished countries in West Africa — Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea — could produce as many as 10,000 new cases per week by early December.

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Thomas Frieden, acknowledging the lapses in treatment in Dallas for a Liberian man in late September, told reporters, “I wish we had put a team like this on the ground the day the first patient was diagnosed ... but we will do that from today onward with any case in the U.S. …We will be there, hands on, within hours, helping hospitals with the situation if there is another case,” he said.

A nurse who contracted Ebola from the Liberian patient, Thomas Eric Duncan, in a Dallas hospital said yesterday she was doing well, while Frieden said 76 people were still being monitored in the Dallas area. The nurse, Nina Pham, 26, is “in good condition,” Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital said in a statement.

U.S. President Barack Obama, addressing defense chiefs from about 20 countries, said “the world as a whole is not doing enough” to combat the hemorrhagic fever and must stop it at its source.

Health authorities say the outbreak in West Africa is the worst on record with at least 4,447 dead.

An unrelated outbreak has killed more than 40 people in Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Ebola, which can cause fever, bleeding, vomiting and diarrhea, spreads through contact with bodily fluids such as blood or saliva. The Dallas nurse, Pham, be-

came the first person infected by Ebola in the United States while caring for Duncan for much of his 11 days in the hospital. He died on Oct. 8.

Pham received a transfusion on Monday containing antibodies to fight the virus, according to a Roman Catholic priest in her congregation. Duncan did not receive one because he did not match the donor’s blood type.

Christian relief group Samaritan’s Purse has said that Dr. Kent Brantly, a physician who survived an Ebola infection, donated plasma to Pham.

“I’m doing well and want to thank everyone for their kind wishes and prayers,” Pham said in a statement released by the hospital. “I am blessed by the support of family and friends.”

The CDC’s Frieden said at a news conference that 48 people who had potential contact with Duncan “have passed through the highest risk period” for developing Ebola symptoms. He said 76 people who may have come into contact with Duncan after he was hospitalized on Sept. 28 now were being monitored. That group includes Pham and other health workers and hospital staff.

The hospital has been criticized for not admitting Duncan the first time he sought help, days after arriving in the U.S. from Liberia. He returned days later in an ambulance.

“We did send some expertise in infection control, but I think … we could have sent a more robust hospital infection control team and been more hands on,” Frieden said yesterday.

He said two nurses from Emory University’s Serious Communicable Disease Unit are now on the ground working with the Dallas hospital on the proper use of personal protective gear.

Frieden is recommending that the hospital limit the number of staff who care for Pham so that people who treat her can become

Nurses groups have demanded better training and guidance on how to use equipment that already includes face shields, masks, gowns and gloves.

Frieden has come under pressure over the response and preparedness for Ebola, but White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama is confident of Frieden’s ability to lead the public health effort. He said White House Homeland Security adviser Lisa Monaco “continues to play the role of coordinating the efforts” of all agencies involved.

WHO Assistant Director-General Bruce Aylward said yesterday that by the first week in December, the WHO projections suggest there may be between

5,000 and 10,000 new cases a week in impoverished Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.

Aylward stressed the difficulty of making accurate predictions.

The WHO said the actual mortality rate is about 70 percent in those countries, compared with the roughly 50 percent reported previously.

One person known to have had close contact with the Dallas nurse Pham has been put under observation in the hospital in case he develops signs of Ebola, the CBS Dallas television station reported yesterday.

The man, who has not been identified, is an employee of global eye care company Alcon, a unit of the drug company Novartis.

The company was not immediately available to comment.

White House Budget Director Shaun Donovan pressed U.S. lawmakers to speed up funds to fight Ebola, including the remaining $250 million in requested Defense Department money under review.

“The rapid spread of the Ebola virus in West Africa shows that time is of the essence. Given the nature of this crisis, every minute counts,” Donovan wrote in an Oct. 10 letter to Appropriations Chairman Harold Rogers and ranking Democrat Nita Lowey.

Meanwhile, the family who shared an apartment with Duncan after he arrived in Texas is showing no signs of illness, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said on CNN. — Reuters

One of the popular dishes at Teté Bistronomie, pescado a lo macho, is a mix of squid, shrimp, scallops, mussels and tilapia surrounded by an orange cream sauce and a side of rice. JENNIFER LEE too much of it, the sauce, made of Peruvian yellow pepper and spices, made the dish more savory.

The salchipapas, French fries topped with sausage, was my least favorite dish from the combo meal.

Compared to the other flavorful dishes, the salchipapas reminded me of street cart food.

The thick-cut French fries were slightly crisp and not too salty.

Personally, I like my French fries

thinly sliced and very crispy, similar to McDonald’s.

The chopped romaine salad, white rice and bowl of beans complimented the other rich and flavorful dishes.

Throughout my stay, my waiter was attentive to my needs, asking how I liked the dishes, giving me extra utensils and providing takeout boxes for leftovers. This service made my entire dining experience even more enjoyable.

Family, friends and loved ones will not be disappointed by Teté’s charm and welcoming atmosphere on those special nights out. Teté Bistronomie’s authentic Peruvian food and friendly service will end up being one of your most memorable dining experiences.

‘New Atheist’ liberals justify Islamophobia with rhetoric THE CHAMPAGNE SOCIALIST JOSE SANCHEZ

L

iberals in the United States, and perhaps the West, more broadly, seem to be afflicted with a crisis over the subject of faith. It is a crisis, whether of their own professed beliefs or a crisis brought about by the beliefs of others — but it’s probably a combination of the two.

Last week, the pot-smoking, PETA-loving comedian and all-around blowhard Bill Maher, accompanied by celebrity “intellectual” Sam Harris, got into an argument with A-list actor Ben Affleck over illiberalism and Islam on “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

Maher and Harris are what many today call “New Atheists,” a strident contemporary intellectual movement espousing an unbelief that all too often mirrors the bigoted certainty and zealotry of their radically religious counterparts. Other popular apostles of New Atheism include Kenyan-born Oxford scholar Richard Dawkins, who wrote the best-selling “The God Delusion,” as well as Trotskyist-apostate-turned-Bush-administration-cheerleader Christopher Hitchens. He’s the author of “God is Not Great,” a particularly unreadable and unscholarly rag of a polemic.

The roots of this movement lie in the outrage and befuddlement amongst secular-minded liberals toward the evident endurance and even resurgence of faith in the post-Cold War “End of History,” when the only game in town was supposed to be secular, Western-style liberal capitalism.

Religion as an inescapable theme of history roared back into the historical limelight just as the Iron Curtain was lifted. Americans in particular felt the throes of this un-

precedented drama in the aftermath of the spectacle that was 9/11, committed by anti-imperialist yet backwards and murderous terrorists. Religion seemed to be in vogue everywhere, even at home. Who could forget the stubborn power and millenarian impulse of American Protestantism and the Christian Moral Majority? Promising to wipe out “evil” from the world, the bornagain evangelical George W. Bush washed Baghdad in the blood of the Lamb. All this was aided and abetted by a fired-up evangelical base in the Republican Party engorged on “God, guns and gays” rhetoric. Religion

seeing how he’s been spouting Islamophobic bigotry for years now. He, much like Dawkins and Hitchens, has moralized that while all religion is, well, frankly stupid and destructive, Islam is the worst of them all.

Harris has said that, “the doctrine of Islam poses unique problems for the emergence of a global civilization,” a “thoroughgoing cult of death” as he sees it — and because of this he recommends the surveillance, profiling and torturing of Muslims. He, much like Hitchens, has wrapped up Bush’s bloody and expensive Mesopotamian misadventure in the language of humanitarian-

“It’s remarkable, however, how the New Atheists’ bludgeoning of religion seems to focus only on Islam. Despite the one million dead and counting since Bush dismembered Iraq and Afghanistan, the years of support for brutal, authoritarian regimes … you’d think these strident secularists would be understanding about the roots of rage in the Muslim world.” seemed to be everywhere, and everywhere it was either curtailing the rights of women and minorities or leading to bloodshed.

People who profess to be on the side of the left ought to indeed defend our egalitarian principles, regardless of where we stand on theological questions. That much is true. There was a time when Maher and many liberals made that kind of laudable argument, but that’s not the Maher we saw the other night. The comedian let Harris get away with calling the planet’s second-largest religion “the mother lode bad ideas.” Maher himself yelled out that Islam is “the only religion that acts like the mafia, that will f---ing kill you if you say the wrong thing,” a paranoid and racist thing to say indeed. The original sin might have been inviting Harris to speak in the first place,

ism and the good ol’ “civilizing mission.” He has even gone so far as say that “the people who speak most sensibly about the threat that Islam poses to Europe are actually fascists.” Fascists like Geert Wilders of the Dutch Party of Freedom, the Netherlands’ fourth largest, and he is also on record for comparing the Qur’an to “Mein Kampf.” He and his other European counterparts, such as France’s Marine Le Pen, Austria’s Jörg Haider and Britain’s Nick Griffin are part of a resurgence of the far-right in Europe, buoyed by growing suspicion and hostility towards Muslims and others.

It’s remarkable, however, how the New Atheists’ bludgeoning of religion seems to focus only on Islam. Despite the one million dead and counting since Bush dismembered Iraq and Afghanistan, the years

of support for brutal, authoritarian regimes — such as the Iranian Shah or Arab autocrats like Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak and the illegal occupation and colonization of Palestinian land — you’d think these strident secularists would be understanding about the roots of rage in the Muslim world.

Masquerading as rationality’s epitome, these largely white male atheists look past “our” crimes and focus myopically on the crimes of others. That focus, mind you, is devoid of any education in the theology, history, philosophy or sociology their targets. Reading one of these people arguing against religion and thought is like a tortuous endeavor for anyone familiar with the subject matter. Harris, Dawkins, et al. are so certain of their superiority that they don’t hesitate for a second to consider and measure religion’s mountainous, ancient and interdisciplinary literature. They selectively quote the Qur’an more than Osama bin Laden would to prove how violent Islam is. They glide past the legacies of reformers and rebels such as Martin Luther King Jr. or Dorothy Day and barely touch upon the work of older, more intellectually sophisticated godless thinkers such as Feuerbach or Marx. But you see, to people like Harris, Maher, Hitchens and Dawkins, all that doesn’t matter because they’re the rational ones. The rest of us, us believers, especially if we’re Muslim and have darker skin, we’re the stupid ones, the tribal-minded, bloodthirsty savages in need of tutelage.

They’re arguing rationally about sublime and enlightened ideas while the rest of us squabble about Bronze Age folktales. In New Atheism, the worst of scientism meets plain ol’ white supremacy.

ou smoke?”

“Only secondhand.”

“Vaccinations?”

“I believe so, I have docum—” “No,” the doctor grins, bemused by this suggestion. “You’re done.”

Four hours had elapsed by this point, during which time I was periodically ushered between two identical waiting rooms surrounded by fellow foreigners, our movements strictly manipulated by the omnipresent French government employees. And now, my appointment has finally reached its close.

Near the Bastille, one would find the Office Français de L’immigration et de L’intégration. After acquiring a long-stay visa from a U.S. Consulate (a process that began in May), it was then necessary to obtain a residency permit, which involves an official OFII medical appointment.

One might be perplexed as to why he or she has to spend four hours solely for a two-to-three-minute informal “medical” appointment and pay 58 euros to the French government via a set of stamps.

It is not a far stretch to suggest French bureaucracy — truly in a league of its own — tends toward an unintentional comicality. At times, it leaves you with the feeling as if you’d just sat through En Attendant Godot.

Yet, its essence is beyond an inherent absurdity. It comes down to a fundamental contradiction between the absolute and proudly deemed “rational” rules or systems and the arbitrary, largely inefficient realities. This is the French paradox.

Beyond which, I find it’s imperative to locate the humor in the apathetic blur that is finely tuned French bureaucracy to appreciate it in real time, even if that constitutes a breed of self-imposed schadenfreude. One would find this amused resignation in any pseudo-Parisian like myself.

Le Marais, “the marsh,” is a neighborhood, which spans the third and fourth arrondissements, located in the Right Bank.

The Marais is a meandering network of tight medieval streets, lined with narrow shops selling plastic orchids and DIY ‘90s Bijoux, brimming with cafés, bars, boutiques and art galleries.

A 20-something man with a fashion cane leans against the century-old synagogue.

Native clothing is steeped in androgyny, some having been then rolled around in the aftermath of a gay pride parade. Eager tourists queue by L’As du Fallafel, on their

“In spite of itself, Paris never allows you to give up on it — never completely. It is permanently suspended between somewhere real and an ideal, fluctuating by the minute or by the croissant.”

But, in spite of itself, Paris never allows you to give up on it — never completely. It is permanently suspended between somewhere real and an ideal, fluctuating by the minute or by the croissant.

Consequently, it is not atypical to find oneself suddenly veering between terminal “Paris syndrome”-levels of disenchantment and unequivocal, devoted adoration.

Much like the aforementioned paradox, this simultaneous realness and “unreal-ness” of Paris could be seen through numerous manifestations, for instance, the Marais neighborhood.

way from the oldest square in Paris, Place des Vosges, which was once home to Victor Hugo and Cardinal Richelieu. Seven homeless men hunch together around a bench, sharing one bottle of vodka, watching cars struggle through the tiny, ancient road.

This is not, per say, the specific image I had divined of Paris prior to arrival, but it is surely analogous to my own conception.

You have a historic, beautiful place — a particular image realized in a tangible way.

But it seems so all-together improbable that it becomes too difficult to understand as “real.”

The Marais, itself, is a prime example of this duality because it is both a real, lived-in place and, by result of its diverse history, an inaccessible caricature.

Originally, this district was a hub of aristocracy. In the 13th century, prominent figures, such as the King of Naples and Sicily, lived in the Marais. Up to the 17th century, this neighborhood remained a popular place for nobility to settle and have their urban mansions built.

As the upper-class elites moved to Faubourg Saint-Germain, the Jewish community of Paris gradually took up this void, developing a substantial community there. This demographic shifted with the Nazi presence in France, and the Jewish population diminished significantly. However, Jewish Parisians are extremely present today, as can be seen by the synagogues, cultural history museums and Jewish-owned specialty shops.

In the 1900s, the population in the Marais was of the working class, but this, again, transformed drastically mid-century in a period of revival. Then, in the 1980s, the neighborhood developed the strong LGBT presence that is extremely resonant to this day.

The Marais is undoubtedly a separate entity from Paris — an individual. Nevertheless, it is a telling, exaggerated example of what it’s like living in Paris, “Paris” and everything in between.

Rutgers’ defense has held opponents scoreless in four straight matches

Correa converts on penalty kick, scoring first of three goals in second half CONTINUED FROM BACK

CONTINUED FROM BACK That mindset was a key ingredient to Rutgers’ most recent victory, a 1-0 upset win over then-No. 7 Penn State. Including the edging of the Nittany Lions, the Knights have now won six games by a 1-0 score.

With a formidable backline and exceptional performance between the posts so far this year by freshman goalkeeper Casey Murphy, Rutgers holds the blueprint to one of the top defenses in the country.

When she was made aware of where the Knights stand statistically, sophomore back Erin Smith took pride.

“It definitely means a lot because we take a lot of pride in our defending,” Smith said. “We work really hard to make sure we know all the details and try to make sure we know how the [opposing] teams play and how we can like defend against them. … It makes us all really proud.”

Aside from the defensive backline, the schemes the coaching staff implement on defense involves work from the midfielders.

Patrolling the center up and down the length of the field, junior midfielder Hayley Katkowski’s job involves work on both sides of the ball.

Katkowski sets up forwards on aggressive attacks for scoring opportunities on the offensive end, but she also plays a detrimental role in setting up the defense.

“I’m more of a defensive player, so coaches want me to kind of sit back and protect the goal,” Katkowski said. “… That’s been kind of my main focus, and just making sure no balls go through the middle of the field.”

As an integral part of the defense, Katkowski acknowledged being pleased with the strides the unit and the team have made as they continue to climb the top-25 polls and statistical category rankings.

But with more soccer still to play, Katkowski emphasized the importance of staying humble and continuing to strive to be even better.

“I think that shows that we’ve come a long way, but I also think that shows it’s just more to build off of … [and] get better from,” she said. “… It’s a goal of ours to just keep doing what we’re doing and not let in any goals.”

Sophomore right guard Chris Muller is preparing to start at center this week if senior Betim Bujari (questionable) cannot play.

TIAN LI / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

INJURY Centers have responsibility of calling out blitzes, organizing protection CONTINUED FROM BACK for ward to. The chance to play against Ohio State in the Horseshoe as his first career start makes the prospect all the more special.

“That’s a fantastic opportunity to play Ohio State. That’s a good way to really prove myself, and that’s what you want. You want to play against the best,” Miller said. “Whether it’s one school or the other, you really just thrive off competition. To have an opportunity to go against what coach Flood said is one of the best d-line’s he’s seen in a while, it’s great. You couldn’t ask for a better opportunity than that.”

One of the pressing challenges of playing center is having to set the pass protection, organize blitz pickups and establish the slide protection for blocking. Normally this responsibility is balanced between Bujari and senior quarterback Gar y Nova.

With Bujari limited this week, Muller will be thrown into the fire having to fully learn which line calls to make and how to read the defense. Thus, the position of center is one of the most difficult to play on the line.

But Nova thinks there will be no steps back for Muller. Nova feels there will be no communication issues and the line calls will still be split between the two.

“The chemistr y has been good.

I think it’s an adjustment for Chris, but I think he’s doing a good job.

It’s not easy to play center, so we expect mistakes, but he’s playing fast and as the week goes on, he’ll get better and better,” Nova said.

“Chris will learn the calls and he will make the calls. If he makes a mistake, you have veteran guys around to help him out. Whatever I say will override his rule, and we’ll just go from there.”

But with Bujari questionable to start and others taking the majority of snaps at center this week, Muller hasn’t expected or received too much criticism, outside of constructive, from the injured starter.

“There’s really not talking at all for Betim. He’s just a happy giant, just a happy kid, hanging out,” Muller said. “He’s given me a few tips and some encouragements when he sees me dying out there.”

bit because he probably thought I was going to go back to the same spot, and I probably caught him off guard a little by going to the opposite side.”

With momentum clearly in the Knights’ favor, the players emerged from the locker room at halftime with a confidence they so desperately needed.

Less than 10 minutes into the second half, junior forward J.P. Correa provided the first spark to the eventual fire.

Taking on his defender down the left flank, Correa was able to get past the defender and draw a penalty kick inside the 18-yard box, which the forward comfortably buried for his third of the season.

The goal seemed to ignite a Rutgers offense that had gone through plenty of dr y spells throughout the season. It proceeded to take out its frustrations on the Quakers’ defense.

In the 65th minute, a ball played in from senior midfielder Nathan Bruccoleri found Wright lingering in the 18-yard box.

The forward proceeded to take a touch to his right foot before calmly placing it into the back of the net to make it 3-1.

Wright found himself in a nearly identical situation with five minutes remaining, this time off a pass from freshman defender Niel Guzman, which he also calmly placed into a similar spot for his second of the night and seventh of the season.

While the game was Rutgers’ first win in seven games and first win at home in six, it was also soph-

omore goalkeeper Mitchell Walier’s first victory in goal as a member of the Knights.

Walier finished the game with seven saves, some of which were crucial in preventing Penn from producing an equalizer.

“It feels great to get my first win,” Walier said. “But I’ve been playing soccer my whole life, so if I get the start again I’m just going to play it like I always do. And if I don’t, I’m going to work hard as much as possible.”

One save Walier was unable to make came earlier in the first half.

Following a slow start where Penn outshot Rutgers, 7-0, in the opening 25 minutes, Quakers forward Duke Lacroix managed to play a pass through Rutgers’ two center backs.

Penn forward Alec Neumann then blasted a shot into the far corner of the goal, giving Walier no chance and the Quakers a 1-0 lead.

But instead of folding under pressure, the Knights fought back for a hard-earned win that was not only satisfying but relieving.

“It’s a great feeling,” Sa said of the 4-1 win. “When Jason got that last fourth one, it was just a feeling of relief, we don’t have to worr y about them getting another one and climbing back into it. It’s the first time this year we’ve really had a comfortable lead where we can say, ‘Hey, look at this. This is what it feels like.’ So it was a great feeling and I’m really happy about it.”

Slow starts, lack of focus hinder Rutgers in Big Ten CONOR NORDLAND STAFF WRITER

The start of Big Ten play has not gone as planned for the Rutgers volleyball team, as the Scarlet Knights (7-12, 0-6) have yet to even win a set against a conference opponent.

Last weekend, the Knights were easily defeated by perennial Big Ten powers Wisconsin and Minnesota.

With no sense of momentum after losing six straight games, the Knights are looking for answers to their slow start in the Big Ten. Head coach CJ Werneke stated the slow start could be attributed to the team’s pace during games.

The Knights have registered only 16 points combined in their last

two opening sets, a clear indicator of one of the many current problems with the team.

“I think part of our lack of focus has to do with going up against these Big Ten teams and the different matchups they present,” Werneke said. “While it takes some time to adjust to them in game, it has definitely taken too long lately, and what should take five to six points in a game to adjust to has taken us an entire match.”

This lack of focus is something Rutgers plans on correcting this week in practice. How every individual goes about preparing for each game is being re-evaluated, Werneke said.

“We are setting some measurable goals for the next three weeks that we can see from

match to match,” Werneke said.

“The coaching staff has re-evaluated how we go about our week of preparation and everything leading up to the game, and while it is nothing critical, we are changing things around.”

The point of the goals is to re-adjust the players’ focus back on themselves. The Knights have admitted to being intimidated when traveling on the road, said junior outside hitter Alex Lassa.

They are not used to the large crowds and playing style presented against them. Once the players know what they need to improve on, it will keep them focused in practice, which will aid them in games.

“If you’re not focused during practice, you’re not going to be focused during the game,” said

junior middle blocker Mikaela Matthews. “It is not something you can just turn on, so we have been working on reminding each other to think about our goals and what is needed from each member of the team.”

Changes are a necessary part of a season for teams that are struggling, and any change could prove beneficial for the Knights.

The coaching staff has realized that at this point in the season, the day-to-day operations of the program need to be adjusted.

“We are going to tweak things the day before game day, watch a little more film, highlight more tendencies and go through more game-day mental preparation to get our team ready to play,” Werneke said. “The game hasn’t really clicked for us until the third set

in most cases, and a lot of that falls on our weeklong preparation.”

Despite the disappointing start to the Big Ten conference season, the Knights are still optimistic. With 14 games left in conference play, there is more than enough time for Rutgers to turn its season around.

As the coaching staff and players said, getting back to focusing on the team will prove beneficial going forward.

“We still have a month and half left in the season, so anything can happen,” Lassa said.

“We are in the gym working ever y day, so it can only get better from here.”

CROSS COUNTRY RUTGERS WILL COMPETE IN BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIPS ON NOV. 2

Knights increase intensity level for final stretch of season MIKE O’SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER

In most spor ts, the intensity of a season increases as the level of competition and impor tance of games or matches also increases. Cross countr y is no exception, as early season meets are designed to prepare runners for more intense races down the stretch of the season.

It can be seen as par t of a plan, one meant to culminate with prime per formance when it counts the most.

For the Rutgers cross countr y teams, what is often called “championship season” is now under way, and ever ything from here on out will be to improve for Big Ten competition.

“I think we really understand what we’re tr ying to accomplish here,” said women’s head coach James Robinson. “There’s not

an added sense of pressure, but we acknowledge that this is the time to turn it on.”

The women’s team has three races left on its schedule, all filled with championship implications star ting with the Big Ten Championships in Iowa on Nov. 2.

“It’s time to flip the switch,” Robinson said. “Ever y race that’s left is all-or-nothing. We need our best ef for ts because you train all year for these last couple of races.”

Not only will intensity be ramped up during races, but, according to Robinson, practices will be geared towards getting the team prepared to face its best competition during title season.

“Practices are totally geared towards per forming our best at the Big Ten Championships,” he said. “Training definitely adjusts to the level of competition

we are going to be facing. … It’s going to be a daunting task, but we’re up for the challenge and want to continue per forming at our highest level.”

Men’s head coach Mike Mulqueen shares a similar sen-

“I think we really understand what we’re trying to accomplish here. ... We acknowledge that it is the time to turn it on.”

JAMES ROBINSON Head Coach

timent to Robinson, as he has been telling his team not to get over whelmed and continue improving even though championship season is under way.

“There is no pressure at all in going for ward in championship season,” Mulqueen said.

“Ever y championship we run is new to this team, so they are getting great experience for the future.”

The newness is twofold for the men’s team, as it competes in the Big Ten for the first time, but ever y race, in a way, seems new to a bulk of the team because it has many freshmen.

With newcomers running longer distances than they did in high school, it is critical for them to be getting acclimated to college-level running, especially at this time of the year.

The men have four races left on their schedule, and Mulqueen says the schedule was back loaded for a reason.

“We tr y to train them more, race them a little less [in the beginning of the season], so they

can get more experience training,” he said. “Once you get into October, the races become a little more frequent … which is by design to give them more training in between races.”

Junior Jaimin Vekaria, one of the few veterans on the men’s team, feels that championship season is meant to be a good measuring stick for the program, not a pressurefilled time.

“There’s not really any pressure, but we are motivated to work harder and improve to keep our momentum rolling,” he said. “We’re going to tr y to do our best in ever y championship race we get and tr y to put our names out there like we did last year.”

October 15, 2014 KNIGHT NOTEBOOK OHIO STATE TIED NCAA SINGLE-GAME RECORD FOR FIRST DOWNS AGAINST CINCINNATI

Knights’ defensive line preps for its stingiest test of season GREG JOHNSON SPORTS EDITOR

The overwhelming size of Ohio State’s offensive line is clear, with three of five starters standing at least 6-foot-6. Four weigh no less than 300 pounds.

Rutgers head football coach Kyle Flood called it the best unit the Scarlet Knights will face in the last two years, and it likely isn’t close.

Still, with only one returning starter from last season, much of the success Ohio State’s offensive front is having traces back to its schematic architect.

After last year’s unit paved the way for the nation’s seventh-best total offense under offensive line coach Ed Warinner, a new-look Buckeyes front has hardly missed a beat.

It got off to a shaky start through two games, but with some experience running Warinner’s system, Ohio State’s offensive line looks sound and efficient, recently tying the NCAA single-game record for first downs (45) against Cincinnati.

Warinner, who joined Ohio State in 2012, brings expertise from notable coaching stops at Notre Dame, Kansas, Illinois, Army and Michigan State.

“I have a tremendous amount of respect for Ed Warinner. I think he’s one of the best in the business,” Flood said. “He’s done a great job for a long time at a lot of different places [and is] somebody that I studied when I was an offensive line coach. … They’ve got talented players, and I think they’re very well coached. And when you see those guys play in the last three games, you can re-

That’s the challenge posed this week to Rutgers’ defensive line, one of the hallmarks of the team’s 5-1 start to the season as it is tied for the third-most sacks in the country with 24.

The Knights proved themselves against physically imposing Big Ten fronts in Penn State and Michigan by constantly disrupting the trenches, hurrying the quarterback and totaling eight sacks.

But Ohio State, which currently operates the conference’s second-most productive offense, is an entirely different animal, Rutgers realizes.

“I would say that they’re in the same class of athlete [body type], but this is the best offensive line by far that we’re going to see up to this point in the season,” said senior defensive end David Milewski.

Milewski, tied for Rutgers’ lead with six tackles for loss this season, could see himself lined up at either end position against 6-foot-7 left tackle Taylor Decker or 6-foot6 right tackle Darryl Baldwin.

Redshirt freshman defensive end Kemoko Turay, who leads the Big Ten with 5.5 sacks but is still grasping early-down concepts, has been exposed to stadium capacities only about half as large as Ohio Stadium. But Milewski

insists defensive line communication is less of an issue in road environments, where the crowd screams loudest when Rutgers’ offense is on the field.

Still, it stands as another test of the Knights’ quickness and compensation for lack of pure size, as well as ability to make smart gap reads in maneuvering a coherent Ohio State unit.

“It’s just a matter of being technicians in your technique and understanding the game plan, and kind of being able to anticipate and react quickly to what you see,” Milewski said. “When we’re put in a position to play one of those guys, we need to make sure

that we’re using our leverage and we’re staying low … keeping our hands inside and making sure that we’re doing all the little things right. That’s going to help us neutralize that [size] advantage.”

Despite the historic challenge, sophomore outside linebacker Steve Longa has few doubts Rutgers could win that battle up front.

Longa, who leads the Knights with 41 total tackles, said the defensive line’s dominance has eased his transition from the middle to the weak side of the field this season.

“Our defensive line is going to put a lot of pressure on a lot of the teams we play, if not all of the teams we play,” Longa said. “So there’s nothing to really be worried about. … We can play the run with anybody in the country.” *** The Knights will crank up loudspeakers during Wednesday’s practice to prepare for the extreme noise levels inside Ohio Stadium, which has a 104,944-fan capacity.

High Point Solutions Stadium, by comparison, seats only 52,454, but how much of a difference it makes Saturday remains to be seen.

“Third down, for sure, we would anticipate [loud noise],” Flood said. “First and second down, it really depends — I’ve been in some environments where first and second down you need it, and I’ve been in others where it’s really deafening on third down, but first and second down has been OK.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow @gregp_j and @ TargumSports on Twitter.

Only this time, Sa’s curling shot bested Penn goalkeeper Max Polkinhorne, with the ball tucking perfectly into the left hand corner of the goal to tie the game at one and give Rutgers its first set piece goal of the season.

He hasn’t really taken snaps in basically 15 years. He’s only played the position sparingly as a second or third string during practice, and in high school he was mainly at the tackle position, occasionally playing on the interior part of the line.

But now that senior center Betim Bujari is listed as questionable with a lower body injur y, sophomore right guard Chris Muller will have the opportunity to start in the middle of the offensive line — and not at the position he’s started at since last season.

His only experience at center, prior to the move on Sunday, came sparingly in practices. Muller hasn’t started in a game at the position in a ver y long time.

“Actually, at a young, ripe age of around seven, six, and weighing in at a whopping 80 pounds, I was playing center back then.

But that is the only prior experience that I have,” Muller said. “I was a straight killer back then, but besides that I haven’t really had much experience. It’s not too difficult because I have great coaches, and I’ve been preparing by taking reps ever y now and then. And it’s similar to guard.”

But where does that leave the right guard position if Muller does fill in for Bujari in the middle?

Head coach Kyle Flood said that redshirt freshman Dorian Miller will make the start if Muller does fill in for Bujari at center. The adjustment has already begun for both, as they have received significantly more reps in their new roles this week.

For Miller, the opportunity to start is something that he cherishes and looks

Knights end losing skid in rout SEAN STEWART ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Trailing early in the first half against one of the most potent scoring offense’s in the country, the Rutgers men’s soccer team looked poised for another convincing defeat and sixth straight home loss.

But unlike their last two outcomes, the Scarlet Knights were the ones who delivered the beat down.

Behind a brace from freshman forward Jason Wright and a momentum-changing free kick goal from sophomore midfielder Erik Sa,

the Knights (4-7-1) scored four unanswered goals in a 4-1 rout of Penn (5-6) Tuesday night at Yurcak Field.

“A win’s a win and I’ll take it,” said a pleased head coach Dan Donigan postgame. “Not to say we’re in desperate need of it, but maybe those are the proper words, but we’re happy, especially going down 1-0 to respond the way we did. … But certainly this team needs something like this to kind of start things continuing to go in a positive way.”

The momentum-changing moment of the game came in the 33rd minute of the first half. Lining up for his second free kick, Sa had

No shots, no service, no goals.

Regardless of who you ask, whether it’s a player or a coach, that’s the motto that has largely driven the No. 14 Rutgers women’s soccer team to its success in the 2014 season.

For much of the year, the Scarlet Knights (10-1-1, 6-1-1) have thrived off their defense.

With the corresponding numbers and rankings, it should be no surprise.

Throughout the course of the season, Rutgers has surrendered only four goals.

Junior midfielder Hayley Katkowksi said the Knights can still grow on defense.

That mark stands alone as the best in the Big Ten and tied for second in the nation.

Nine of the team’s 10 wins this season have been shutouts. In a recent stretch that has included a four-game winning streak, the Knights have pitched four consecutive shutouts and haven’t allowed a goal since their 1-1 draw at Nebraska back on Sept. 25.

A time lapse of 434:49 minutes has gone by since that match, the last time an opposing offense was able to catch Rutgers vulnerable on defense.
