Hospital CEO discusses women in business field CARLEY ENS CORRESPONDENT

If women do not play golf, they will be the only ones in the office while the men are out on the course, said Amy Mansue, president and CEO of Children’s Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick.

Whether or not they like golf, women should play because golfing excursions can double as meetings with coworkers, and they tend to be even longer, affording workers more time to discuss necessary business, she said.

“Learn how to drive the heck out of that ball, and men will invite you back,” she said. “You get an advantage with those red tees, so just go ahead and do it.”

Mansue spoke about female leadership and changes in the health care industry last night at the Douglass Student Center at the 2014 Annual L’Hommedieu Lecture, which brings distinguished individuals to campus each year.

Nidhi Agrawal, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student, stumbled upon the event by accident. She viewed it as a chance to learn more about how women can succeed in the health care industry.

“I am debating on majoring in health care or business, so I wanted to learn more,” Agrawal said.

Mansue was named one of the “Best 50 Women in Business” SEE WOMEN ON PAGE 5

When Ohio’s Antioch College revised their 1993 Sexual Offense Prevention Policy requiring students to clearly ask for consent during each step of any sexual encounter — from the initial touching and kissing to the eventual foreplay — Antioch became the butt of several jokes.

Saturday Night Live mocked the college’s new policy by airing a sketch game show called “Is It Date Rape?” starring Phil Hartman.

Comedian Dave Chappelle similarly lampooned the idea with his sketch video “The Love Contract.”

Two decades after the drama at Antioch and the SNL skit, few people are still laughing at the culture of sex on college campuses.

On Sept. 28, California governor Jerry Brown signed off on SB-967, or the “Yes Means Yes” law. The policy was designed to better help colleges and universities handle cases of rape and sexual assault by mandating “affirmative consent.”

The law turns the conception of “no means no” on its head, and says that “lack of protest or resistance does not mean consent … nor does silence,” according to the text of the law.

People engaging in sex must give “affirmative, conscious and volun-

tary” agreement, so this requirement immediately discounts anyone that is asleep or otherwise incapacitated by drugs or alcohol the ability to give the type of consent required by the law.

A kiss at the beginning of intercourse is not voluntary consent that lasts the entire time two people consensually have sex, either — the bill says consent must be given continually during intercourse and that consent can be taken back at any time.

Kathleen Joyce, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, called the law “incredibly important.”

Rutgers students ‘Carry the Weight’ around campus NATASHA TRIPATHI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A group of students and faculty marched down College Avenue yesterday holding 24 bare and blue mattresses for the “Help Rutgers Carry the Weight” campaign. Kaila Boulware, a School of Arts and Sciences senior and campaign organizer, asked the group about the symbolism of holding a dense mattress in silence.

University students and staff came together in front of Brower Commons as a way of standing in solidarity with survivors of sexual assault and bringing awareness to incidents of sexual assault on campus, said Eshani Dixit, a School of Arts and Sciences junior.

One mattress had bright red tape stuck to it, along with statistics such as “one in five women will be sexually assaulted while at college” and “58 percent of rapes occur while the victim is incapacitated at college parties.”

The event was an effort to educate others about sexual assault and to let survivors know they have a community at Rutgers.

For her thesis project, Columbia University student Emma Sulkowicz carries her mattress with her every day to protest the fact that her rapist was found not guilty. This inspired yesterday’s demonstration at Rutgers.

Laura Christiansen, program coordinator at Rutgers Student Life, said the activity was a great way to visually demonstrate a victim’s struggle.

“Emma has been successful in that she has sparked an entire movement,” Christiansen said.

Brady Root, prevention education coordinator at the Office for Violence Prevention and Victim Assistance, said the plan of the event was to walk silently down College Avenue to represent those who are unable to speak out and to show how SEE WEIGHT ON PAGE 4

U. chemistry students visit China for exchange program MEGAN DOUGHERTY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

An initial language barrier may have existed between Rutgers students and the Jilin University students and professors in China, but when it came to chemistry, everyone spoke the same elements and compound lingo.

This past summer, chemistry students at Rutgers were able to travel to Changchun, China, for an educational exchange program.

For the last three years, the educational exchange program has been involved with Jilin University, where their students traveled to Rutgers to study. This year was the first time Rutgers students were sent to China as part of the exchange, said John Brennan, professor and chair of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology.

“Our students get to experience China first hand. It is an interesting countr y with remarkable people and culture.

They also have exceptional research capabilities,” he said in an email.

The students spent more than a month in China and returned to the states in July.

James Liu, School of Arts and Sciences junior, believes this was time well spent.

“I wanted to do something related to my major during the summer. I did not want to sit idle.

I wanted to expand my knowledge about chemistry,” he said.

After applying in March, Shiri Nawrocki, School of Arts and Sciences junior, found out she was

chosen to be part of the program a few weeks later.

Nawrocki said she was excited to learn something new in a different country. Making the decision in the spur of the moment was a sentiment Liu shared.

“I got an email from the chemistry department, and I thought, ‘Why not?’ I am Chinese myself, but I never knew what it would be like to study in a different country,” he said.

Traveling to a different country could be an eye opening experience for an undergraduate

student, especially in a location as diverse and advanced as China.

Jilin University students attend classes Monday through Saturday, from morning to night and place a high amount of energy solely on academics, Liu said.

Although Rutgers provides a good amount of chemistry-based classes, Liu said sometimes it is better to travel to a new location that can provide more aspects of the same major.

One of the most important educational elements was witnessing the differences between cultures within a laboratory setting.

The instruments were different

in China, and students were able to learn how to synthesize new compounds with the new tools, Nawrocki said.

On a more cultural level, the students credited China and its citizens for being a great host for their educational exchange.

“China was so welcoming, and we had such a great time. Everyone made sure that we had the best experience possible,” Nawrocki said.

Chinese citizens asked the students to take photos with them because they traveled from America, Nawrocki said.

Although Liu went to China as part of the educational exchange program, he also took time out of his studies to visit family members who live in the countr y. He has lived in the U.S. his entire life, and he thought this was a good time to catch up with family.

The trip to China was not all studies, and the students were able to go sightseeing and enjoy the Chinese culture. They had an advisor with them at all times to help translate.

Liu also went to a hot spring with his lab group. Although he was skeptical at first, he admits he had a relaxing time.

Brennan hopes the connections made will help make the exchange more common among University students in the future.

“Ideally, I’d love to have the two-way exchange deepen so that labs with related research interests can send students [undergraduate and graduate] and faculty back and forth every year,” he said.

From left to right: Alexander Bahia, Richa Rana, James Liu and Shiri Nawrocki are four students who went to Jilin University in China for an educational exchange program.

Brennan added that the program is currently in the process of expanding host schools, including a second university in China and The University of São Paulo in Brazil.

Brennan, Liu and Nawrocki all believe being able to study your major abroad could enhance your knowledge and passion in

a way that might not be possible when staying in one place. They promote this experience as a positive and eye opening trip that undergraduate students should participate in.

As Nawrocki said, “This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel somewhere and do what I love.”

Spring 2015 Registration begins Sunday, November 2nd at 10:00 pm - 2:00 am for undergraduate students with 110 or greater degree credits and all graduate students. For registration schedules and additional information, please access: http://nbregistrar.rutgers.edu/undergrad/s15prereg.htm

WEIGHT Mattresses displayed slogans and statisitics about sexual assault and violence CONTINUED FROM FRONT

hard it is for victims to carry that weight by themselves.

On the march back, the group used their voices to chant “no more silence, no more violence” to stand up for survivors.

In addition to the march, students carried mattresses and pillows around campus throughout the day, Dixit said. Technically, Sulkowicz’s rule says students cannot ask for help with carrying the weight of their mattress, but they can accept offered help.

“This event is important to have at Rutgers, especially because we have just been recognized by the White House as a school that is exemplary in their victim assistance programs. We need to make sure that the campus climate here among the students matches the efforts our administration is making to combat sexual assault,” Dixit said.

The VPVA is really helpful for survivors, Dixit said. It offers counseling and help students take legal or administrative action against their attackers.

“Ultimately, there’s no pressure on the survivor,” Dixit said. “[It’s important to give] the survivor that kind of autonomy to make their choice because they had so much control taken away from them through sexual assault.”

Students who participated in yesterday’s event said they want to start a conversation on campus among

people who would not necessarily be thinking about sexual assault and harassment on a day-to-day basis.

Jodi Bischoff, sexual health advocate for Rutgers Health, Outreach, Program & Education, said she participated mainly to give the movement and victims a voice.

Bischoff, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences sophomore, said students must be active participants in the movement for the betterment of the Rutgers community.

Boulware talked about rape culture and said it includes certain kinds of language, music and media that perpetuate sexual assault and rape.

“Rutgers students as a community need to be more aware of enthusiastic consent and how to stop this on campus and in the community,” Boulware said.

A major idea that needs to be conveyed about sexual assault is that only “yes” means yes, Dixit said. Enthusiastic consent is really important, which not only means saying yes, but also truly meaning yes and then saying yes throughout the process.

“Sexual assault is preventable if people focus on consent rather than their personal desires or needs,” Christiansen said. “Victim blaming is never acceptable, and putting the onus of rape prevention on women is really the wrong place to put it. Rape should be prevented by potential rapists.”

“People shouldn’t have the right to argue that just because someone didn’t say ‘no,’ that it’s not rape,” she said.

A lot of rape cases are thrown out or not given enough attention because the individual that was sexually assaulted never said “no,” she said. In those types of situations, the person being assaulted has trouble saying anything at all, especially if they are intoxicated or simply afraid.

Joyce hopes the law will work to increase awareness, education and the normality of asking for consent.

A lot of people think when people are in relationships or “hooking up,” they don’t have to ask for consent because people think it is “implied” that sex was already part of the deal, she said, but this is not the case.

“No one normalizes the act of asking,” she said. “People say it kills the mood, and [that] it’s not what you actually [should] do, but you can just ask, ‘Are you comfortable? Are you okay? Does this feel good? Can I go on?’”

She said if someone is having sex with another willing participant, they could work consent into being part of the fun.

Judy Janansky, an Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy second-year student, agreed with Joyce. She said continually asking for consent during sex is not a mood killer.

“I feel like people wouldn’t want to [ask for consent] because it’s awkward, like, ‘Oh hey, can I do this?’ and stating it out loud … but I think if you’re with someone, you

can make it more sexy, and say, ‘Yes, I want this,’” she said.

Both Joyce and Janansky support the “Yes Means Yes” law.

But Ruth Anne Koenick, director of the Center for Violence Prevention and Victim Assistance, does not.

She said the people introducing legislation have good intentions to prevent sexual violence, but they are making a mistake.

“I personally think it’s a kneejerk reaction to what’s going on,” she said.

This reaction is part of nationwide attention to the problem of sexual assault. Emma Sulkowicz, a Columbia University student, has received widespread attention for carrying her mattress around campus to protest the school’s refusal to dismiss her alleged rapist.

“What is the end result of this [law]? What do we get out of this? I don’t know if we get anything.”

RUTH ANNE KOENICK Director of Center for Violence Prevention and Victim Assistance

Matthew Leibowitz, a Wesleyan University graduate, started a nonprofit organization, “Consent Is So Frat,” after the slew of sexual assaults at his alma mater.

Gov. Brown’s reform joins other efforts to curb widespread sexual assault on college campuses across the country, such as the White House’s task force

called “Protect Students from Sexual Assault.”

On April 29, the White House released the first report for the initiative, which chose Rutgers to spearhead the initiative for its quality work in handling cases of sexual violence.

But Koenick said Brown’s law would not accomplish what it wants to do. She said the people who are perpetrators — people who rape — know when they have consent and when they do not.

She does not look at it from the perspective of two people who want to have consensual sex, but from a perspective of someone who does not want to have sex and is forced to, through coercion, physical force or a variety of other ways.

She is concerned Brown and the rest of the California legislature are trivializing all the prevention efforts by focusing on things that do not really help prevention.

The law is not going to educate people, she said, and it is not an effective way to target the problem of sexual assault on college campuses.

“I would hope that legislators would put together good prevention laws,” she said. “In the state of New Jersey, every victim is entitled to an advocate. We’ll get them an advocate fast and let an advocate talk to the victim about what their options are.”

She said if California could legislate sexual assault advocate training and action, mandate that every campus has trained advocates and “really focus” on The Federal Campus Sexual Assault Victim’s Bill of Rights, schools would see a difference.

But for now, she would watch to see how the law plays out in California.

“What is the end result of this [law]?” she said. “What do we get out of this? I don’t know if we get anything.”

Rutgers does time warp again at ‘Rocky Horror’ showing RACHEL NAROZNIAK CONTRIBUTING WRITER

In a time when people often watch movies on Netflix, live per formances of said films have gained a sense of novelty.

This past weekend, the Friday Nite Specials Cast of Aberdeen, New Jersey, returned to Rutgers for its live per formance of a racy Halloween classic “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” at the Rutgers Cinema on Livingston campus.

The show featured live acting and audience par ticipation. The cast per formed several comedy sketches before launching into its rendition of “Rocky Horror,” including rap battles between the infamous movie characters, a costume contest among the several costumed audience members and other games with volunteers from the audience.

Although the show attracted a crowd of mature college students who, for the most par t, had never witnessed a live per formance of “Rocky Horror,” there was no shor tage of willing hands that shot into the air when cast members called for par ticipants.

A sense of acute attention to detail permeated the performance and its many components. Attendees received show

prop bags with items like rice, toilet paper and glow sticks, which they threw or waved around during cer tain scenes in the movie.

From the actors’ elaborate costumes being ripped from the seam to their rapid pacing, the cast members demonstrated their devotion to providing

audience members with the satisfaction of viewing a creative, authentic por trayal of the film.

Audience “virgins,” as they call those who have never been to the show, expressed their enjoyment and said they would return to the show.

Cast member and show producer Ryan Wilson, who plays the par t of Brad Majors, described the production experience as ver y “rewarding.”

Wilson emphasized his enjoyment in not only spreading the word about “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” but also in collaborating with fellow cast members and Rutgers to make

the per formances possible.

Wilson described himself to be a long-time fan of the picture show. He said his involvement with “Rocky Horror” could be traced back to his early high school years.

Wilson, who has been performing in Aberdeen since 2004, has seen many sold-out shows but was surprised at how quickly the Rutgers Cinema showing sold out this year.

“This year, the show sold out while I was sleeping,” he said.

Wilson and the cast members plan to return to the Rutgers Cinema in Februar y to per form “Rocky Horror” again for those who missed their chance to see the show in October.

The cast also intends to return to Rutgers in October of 2015 and hinted at new forms of pre-show enter tainment that will be added for future per formances.

Overall, the Friday Nite Specials Cast celebrates live performances of the “Rocky Horror Picture Show,” while also instilling a spookily successful Halloween tradition for Rutgers students to indulge in at the Rutgers Cinema for years to come.

Fine line between assisted reproduction, designing babies UNDER THE MICROSCOPE VANDANA APTE

C

areers, money and the environment are a number of intertwined factors that affect fertility. Pressured by financial considerations, some couples might choose to delay starting a family.

Women who relegate having a baby to the backburner might suddenly find themselves staring at the ticking biological clock when they become ready.

Fortunately, there are options. Often, the problem is low, not complete, infertility. In such cases, in vitro fertilization could be a viable option. During this process, a woman’s egg and a man’s sperm are combined in a petri dish and the resulting embryo is implanted back into the woman’s uterus. When IVF is carried out for this purpose — to help low-fertility couples conceive — I believe most people would agree there are very few ethical dilemmas involved. After all, IVF utilized in these types of circumstances is no different than using Viagra. It simply facilitates reproduction that would otherwise be difficult.

Ethical dilemmas begin to arise when a) one member of the couple is completely infertile, and, therefore, a single egg or sperm donor is needed for the IVF procedure, b) both members of the couple are homosexual, and therefore need a single egg or sperm donor or c) both members of the couple are infertile and therefore need a sperm donor and an egg donor. When donors are involved, it complicates the ethical

nature of IVF, for couples could selectively choose their sperm or egg donor and thus selectively choose the traits of their child.

Many argue that this process of selecting the traits of their children is a form of eugenics and should not be allowed. Many also argue that there are thousands of children who need to be adopted and that these children should be adopted before new babies are “manufactured.”

While these arguments are perfectly valid, what many people do not realize is that there is a critical difference that separates circumstances “a” and “b” from

the couples described in circumstances “a” and “b” would be able to selectively choose the donor, but I believe this is ethically permissible if the child is related to one of the members of the couple. After all, do people not selectively choose their spouse or partner? Even through reproduction by ordinary means, we have some say in the genetic make-up of our child by selecting the person we choose to have that child with.

However, if both members of the couple were infertile and required both a sperm and an egg donor, the couple would be cre-

“IVF, like adoption, is an expensive procedure, and this process is only viable for upper-class couples. If these completely infertile upper-class couples were to have genetically superior children, would this not widen the ever-growing gap between the rich and the poor? … As new technologies like IVF become available, it is vital that their moral implications be taken into consideration.” circumstance “c.” In circumstances “a” and “b,” the resulting child is genetically related to one of the parents, while in circumstance “c,” the resulting child is not genetically related to either one of the parents. In my opinion, this single distinction makes circumstances “a” and “b” ethically permissible and makes circumstance “c” ethically impermissible.

I think most people would agree that there is something wholly special about having a child that is genetically yours, of seeing some qualities of yourself in your child. I do not think it is fair to deny homosexual or half-infertile couples this unique experience. It is certainly true that

ating a baby entirely unrelated to either of them. The baby would be no different from one they could adopt from an adoption center. In this case, the sole advantage of creating a child through IVF versus adopting a child would be the ability to choose the characteristics of the child.

Creating a genetically unrelated baby in this circumstance would be a relatively selfish act, since there are thousands of unrelated babies who need to be adopted.

One must also keep in mind that IVF, like adoption, is an expensive procedure, and this process is only viable for upper-class couples. If these completely infertile upper-class couples were to have

genetically superior children, would this not widen the ever-growing gap between the rich and the poor? The genetic quality of the upper class would steadily increase over the generations, while the genetic quality of the middle and lower classes would remain of “average” quality. One might argue that this situation could hold true for homosexual and half-infertile upper class couples as well, since they, too, get to select a donor. However, unlike completely infertile couples, these couples only select half of their child’s genetic makeup, since they only select one donor.

Thus, for homosexual and half-infertile couples, this genetic quality effect would not be as strong.

The effects on the resulting child must also be taken into consideration. If a completely infertile couple were to pay a large amount of money for a genetically ideal child, there would be a tremendous amount of pressure on that child to live up to their preconceived expectations.

As new technologies like IVF become available, it is vital that their moral implications be taken into consideration. It is always critical that we ask ourselves the question: Just because we can, should we? While many of these technologies do wonderful things like enable low-fertility couples to have children, these same technologies could also be used to carry out more ethically questionable things like designing genetically ideal babies.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR U. should maintain its commitment to faculty, students and education University President Robert L. Barchi has called students the “heart and soul” of the University, but as Rutgers management moves the University into the major leagues of college football, members of the University community — students, staff and faculty — are left questioning the veracity of this claim when academics suffer. There may be no more telling example than the University libraries, where massive budgets cuts are coupled with Big Ten fees and additional resource demands.

University management announced its intent to cut the Rutgers libraries budget

“

by $550,000. When considering the annual inflation of subscription fees, this budget cut amounts to an $800,000 cut in the collections budget alone. Additionally, the libraries have to shoulder an annual $300,000 fee for becoming a member of the Big Ten’s academic consortium, with no assistance from the University’s unrestricted reserves.

how the system will be able to continue to provide this ser vice without the necessar y funds. Has the University only gained nominal access to additional academic resources without being able to provide it in actuality?

Librar y selectors are currently making painful decisions as to which electronic

“The [Rutgers] libraries are being told to do more with less. Is this the reality of Barchi’s commitment to Rutgers’ students?”

Barchi touts the academic benefits of joining the Big Ten, claiming the Rutgers community now has access to more than 10 million titles through interlibrar y loans. While that may be true, requests filled by other institutions incur shipping costs that Rutgers has to pay. Staf f members are left wondering

journal subscriptions to cancel, but the shortfall cannot be closed by cancellations alone. Will librar y management consider other means to cut expenditures such as reduced hours, staff and ser vices, all while student enrollment continues to climb? Any of these measures will result in a diminution of academic ser vices that

reflects poor priorities and negatively impacts all of us.

As of 2013, a comprehensive analysis showed Rutgers management is holding on to more than $600 million in unrestricted reserves, an extremely high figure in comparison to peer institutions, according to the study’s author, Dr. Howard Bunsis.

Yet the libraries are being told to do more with less. Is this the reality of Barchi’s commitment to Rutgers’ students?

Concerned stakeholders are asking Barchi and the board of governors to reverse course on this unwise action. A petition and meetings with management are being made to plead the case, but it will be up to Barchi and Rutgers management to honor their commitment by expanding access to librar y resources instead of cutting them.

FANATICISM Goodale thinks it is possible for Rutgers to qualify more than six grapplers at NCAAs CONTINUED FROM BACK ing All-Americans and living up to them, but it can be tough to deal with when podium spots are all that matter.

That took head coach Scott

Goodale some time to get used to, but after finally crowning an All-American last season, he knows what the New Jersey wrestling fans expect and what others judge the Rutgers program on.

“It’s very simple. We are judged on what we do at the National Tournament. The way I look at this team, I think we have five or six guys who can really compete,” Goodale said.

“Dual-meets are great, and the guys who know me know that I’m a big dual-meet guy and want to win every single time. But I’ve learned

that we are judged on those last three days in March.”

Everyone in the Knights’ program welcomes the pressure. The expectations and critical New Jersey fans are perfectly justified.

After all, the Knights have those same goals in mind.

“New Jersey wrestling crowds have always been crazy. It’s one of the best fan groups in the country,” said junior heavyweight Billy Smith. “There [are] a lot of expectations coming from people in New Jersey, and they expect you to be

tough and go out and compete. I think those expectations are perfectly normal and should be expected of us. We’re at the highest level of our sport, so I think those demands should be met. We’ll fulfill those expectations.”

With all the added pressure and demands from their home state fans, the Knights especially feel the need to show up. While it might discourage others, junior Anthony Perrotti, along with other Rutgers grapplers, welcome it with open arms.

“It’s pretty crazy. I grew up

and wrestled in New Jersey my whole life,” Perrotti said. “There [are] always expectations to succeed, but that’s why I love wrestling here. I love living up to the expectations and achieving those expectations, so hopefully, we can please the fans of Jersey. No way I would have it any other way. I love this place.”

BOND Werneke, Lee joined Rutgers in 2007 after coaching at Fairfield in same roles CONTINUED FROM BACK great job as a filter from the head coach to the players. It’s great to see her grow as a coach, too, from that coach-player liaison to now continuing that and adding more coaching responsibility each year.”

Star ting in 2007, the two began their coaching careers at Rutgers.

Their first two seasons as coaches were rocky, as the team collected only five wins over the course of two years.

The year 2009 saw a breakthrough for their program, as the Scarlet Knights went 10-19 on the season.

The year 2012 represented the highpoint of both Werneke’s and Lee’s coaching tenure. The Knights went 18-12, which marked the highest win total for the program since 2000.

Even with the up-and-down nature of each season, both coaches have learned a great deal from the other in their time working together.

“Working with him has allowed me to grow up quicker because he is ver y much about autonomy and learning through experience rather than through watching,” Lee said. “I think that has allowed me to grow as a coach and person much [more quickly] than I would have somewhere else.”

As for Werneke, he feels Lee has transformed from one of his former players to someone he considers is equal.

October 30, 2014 “We’re both open-minded people, and when you have as much history as we do, there’s a lot of respect on both sides,” Werneke said. “As she has grown into coaching and her role has expanded, she doesn’t see me as her former head coach anymore but as her colleague, and I don’t see her as my former player anymore but as my colleague as well.”

As a coach, Lee has incorporated more individual work with a certain group of players.

According to Lee, she has been working entirely with the defense and backline for Rutgers. Her attention to how the liberos are digging and passing is her responsibility.

Besides her individual work, Lee also said she runs the film sessions and gets all the players focused on what they need to work on for the week in practice.

Rutgers players have well received the coaching staff’s unique approach. They appreciate what the coaching staff does and how they all work toward common goals.

“I think as a whole group, whether its been player or coach, we’ve been trying to adapt to the Big Ten and the high level of play, and I think we’ve been doing a good job of trying to improve ourselves,” said junior middle blocker Lea Williams.

For both coaches, their relationship has been one that has gotten stronger every year. Werneke and Lee know they have a dynamic uncommon to many head coaches and assistants.

“It’s been an amazing experience,” Lee said. “It has been something that if I ever leave, I will take with me wherever I go.”

The Seahawks (5-0) have already participated in five competitive meets this season, while the Scarlet Knights have yet to do so.

In those five meets, Wagner has won by an average margin of 46.6 points per meet.

The Knights have not swum competitively since February, meaning Wagner is their first real competition not only of the season, but in more than 10 months.

One may think this puts Rutgers at a disadvantage, but senior captain Greta Leberfinger feels differently.

“Absolutely not,” Leberfinger said when asked if the Knights are at a disadvantage. “We are going into our third meet. We have been

getting up on the blocks and getting off them faster in races. We are ready to keep getting faster.”

So far this season, Rutgers has raced inter-squad meets as well as the Sonny Werblin Invite, which are not official meets.

Four other schools came to participate at the Sonny Werblin Invite in a tune up meet to see where their swimmers’ and divers’ progression was.

The Knights came away with 12 first places out of the 14 total events. They managed to sweep the top three spots in four of the 12 events.

The relay teams Rutgers sent out performed well and really got the momentum for the team going early. They grabbed the top-two finishes in the 200 and 400 medley relay and a top finish in the 200 free relay.

Head coach Phil Spiniello said it is a goal for his swimmers to keep improving their times in the relays in practice and competitive meets.

Senior Greta Leberfinger said the Knights will be ready against Wagner despite it being their first meet of the season.

ASSISTANT Ryan led RU to 16-3-4 mark in 2006 as junior, recorded school-high 16 shutouts CONTINUED FROM BACK worked hard, she worked at her game,” O’Neill said. “… She has such a good relationship with the players, she went here, she loves it, so I think that’s an added bonus, but the staf f here is good at what they do, and she’s good at what she does.”

Junior backers Erica Skroski and Brianne Reed are two starters on the backline who have bought into Ryan’s defensive schemes.

The two have picked the brain of the player-turned-coach, and the success that has translated onto the field shows it.

“She’s been there, she’s done that,” Skroski said. “She knows what pressure situations [are], she knows you have to be composed, you have to see the whole field, know what’s in front of you, know what the keeper’s doing behind you. So it’s awesome to have someone that’s not only played there, but played there a few years ago on the same team, on the same field, in the same uniform. So, that’s definitely awesome to be a part of.”

Reed likes the attention to detail the Knights take pride in knowing with their defense. With Ryan on the coaching staff, Rut-

gers stands out as a program that has a former star and experienced player leading its defense now from the sidelines as a coach.

“I don’t know about other schools, but I think it’s rare because we have a defensive coach whenever we have questions concerning how to organize ourselves against a team,” Reed said.

“We get specific information, specific to the other team’s forward line and how our defense is going to handle it. That’s why I think it’s such a big advantage to us.”

While most teams focus solely on its offensive attack, Rutgers predicates itself on a balanced focus between offense and defense.

With Ryan, Reed said the Knights are able to establish balance and find that common ground.

“To have someone that’s going to focus solely on our tactics … being able to have our [midfielders] know how we’re going to play [on defense], to organize that together makes it so much easier to play and have so much more chemistry between our defense,” she said.

As a junior in 2006, Ryan led Rutgers to a 16-3-4 record where the team allowed just six goals and posted a school-record 16 shutouts.

So far this season, Ryan has the team on the right track. The Knights boast a No. 23 ranking in the most recent NCSAA Top 25 poll, with a 11-4-1 mark overall and 7-4-1 record in the Big Ten Conference, which is widely regarded as the best women’s soccer league in the country.

Leberfinger had a solid performance last week, finishing first in the 200 breaststroke.

“I think it was a great meet last weekend,” Leberfinger said. “We know it was a great start. It was a good benchmark to see where we are. Every swimmer improved on their times. We are ready.”

Nevertheless, Rutgers takes last week’s performance with a grain of salt and has worked hard to improve and prepare for this week.

“I think that was the first time to see where we were at in the season last week, and we did a good job,” Spiniello said.

With a duel meet, it’s much more fast pace for the swimmers compared to that of meets with multiple schools and multiple heats. “[I’m] looking forward to see how everyone performs in a duel meet,” senior captain Brogan Lee said. “You have to be supportive of your teammates and be ready to handle what comes.”

Lee is hoping to kick start her senior campaign with a bang.

“I’m hoping to get off on a good start for the season and be able to maintain to it,” she said.

“When it comes down to it, I hope to have the best times at the end of the season.”

Spiniello believes his team is ready to compete after waiting all this time for its first competitive meet in months.

“We try to create an environment that is competitive every day, so when its time to compete, we are ready to go,” he said.

As Rutgers continues to approach its final games of the season with the postseason looming, Ryan hopes to continue her efforts of guiding the program to new achievements in a season of firsts.

Looking back on the season to this point, the idea that the first time is the sweetest certainly holds true.

“To me, it’s a fairytale right now,” Ryan said. “If you told me 15 years ago, ‘You’re still going to be here, [and] you’re going to be associate head coach coaching in the Big Ten with one of the best teams in the conference,’ I probably would’ve smiled and laughed.”

For the long-time player and assistant coach, how far this season goes depends on the basic principles of hard work, trust and belief she and O’Neill have preached since the days where she was the one sprinting up and down the field at the center back position. “[Because] Mike [trusted] me with the backs, I don’t want to let him down. And on the flipside, I don’t want to let the girls down either,” Ryan said. “I do a lot of the film, I do a lot of the attacking players on the opponents [and] I try to give the girls enough information. But [due to] the support and the belief that not only Rutgers but Mike and the team has … I don’t want to let anyone down. That’s the biggest thing.”

October 30, 2014 KNIGHT NOTEBOOK NOVA TAKES LIMITED REPS IN PRACTICE

Wisconsin’s pro-style offense gives Rutgers fresh look on ‘D’ GREG JOHNSON SPORTS EDITOR

The Rutgers football team’s defense might be reluctant to admit it, but this week likely ser ves as somewhat a breath of fresh air for the Scarlet Knights.

During the past two weeks, up-tempo offenses in Ohio State and Nebraska constantly had the Knights on their heels. Dual-threat quarterbacks operating spread and zone-read schemes caused tackling nightmares for Rutgers in open space, with the result being a porous 1,040 total yards allowed.

But it will all slow down Saturday in a ver y different Big Ten showdown in Piscataway.

Wisconsin operates a prostyle offense predicated on a power run game with 21 base personnel (two backs and a tight end), which historically, Rutgers’ 4-3 base defense has matched up better against.

“We’ve done a great job adjusting to styles like the spread.

It doesn’t really matter what kind of style the team comes out with — we’re going to adjust to it,” said senior strong safety Lorenzo Waters. “But traditionally, we are more accustomed to playing teams like Wisconsin, so I think it’s going to fit our defense well.”

A slower-paced operation might be the remedy Rutgers needs for its recent blunders stopping the run.

The Knights surrendered 616 total rushing yards against Ohio State and Nebraska. For perspective, Rutgers allowed an average of 135 rushing yards through the first six games and permitted 100.8 per game all of last season.

One of the countr y’s better run defenses over the last decade, Rutgers has dipped to

Senior strong safety Lorenzo Waters and the Knights are looking to fix issues in communication and fill the right gaps to stop the run Saturday against Wisconsin. MICHELLE KLEJMONT / PHOTO EDITOR 82nd nationally this season after Nebraska’s Ameer Abdullah exploded Saturday for 225 yards.

The task becomes no easier with Wisconsin’s second-ranked rushing offense and Melvin Gordon, whose 1,168 rushing yards rank fourth in the nation. But a more conventional pro-style attack should simply things for a Rutgers unit whose current issues stem mostly from commu-

nication problems and players not filling the proper gaps, Waters said.

“Stopping the run is always our number one priority. We really harp on that and stress that in practice,” Waters said.

“Whenever we get a chance to go hard and fill up some of these run plays, we take full advantage of that. Right now, that’s what we’re focused on — just making

sure ever ybody’s in their gaps and making plays.”

Slowing down Wisconsin’s ground attack is especially imperative given the springboard it provides for the Badgers’ play-action passing.

Wisconsin utilizes a two-quarterback system with Joel Stave and Tanner McEvoy, who haven’t committed a turnover since Oct. 4.

“They want to run the football, and because of that, you see a lot of their passes come off of play action,” said head coach Kyle Flood.

“So their first and second down passing game for the most part is play-action passing, and then you get to third down and you get to more of the drop-back stuff when needed. Tanner is a little bit more of a hybrid quarterback, throws the ball very well, but he’s somebody that you see as a runner.

You’ll see some plays with Tanner that you won’t see with Joel.”

The Knights, who are used to prepping for more than one quar terback at this point, say switching up defensive packages is star ting to become second nature.

“We feel good. Our checks are all there. We’re all on the same page,” said sophomore cornerback Anthony Cioffi. “We just have to make sure that we know both [quarterbacks’] tendencies as well as we can.” *** Senior quarterback Gar y Nova took limited reps at practice Wednesday in his continued rehab of a lower body injur y suffered Saturday at Nebraska.

He remains questionable to play against Wisconsin.

For the second straight day, redshirt freshman Chris Laviano took the majority of reps at the position in the event Nova cannot play. Junior Mike Bimonte also saw snaps with the second-team unit.

“I’m pleased with how Chris has looked. I think he’s doing a good job of handling the game plan as the guy who’s taking the most reps right now in practice,” Flood said. “But it was good to see Gar y out there able to do a couple things as well.”

WOMEN’S SOCCER RYAN COACHES RU’S DEFENSE AFTER SUCCESSFUL CAREER AT CENTER BACK

WRESTLING

Knights find motivation in NJ fanaticism TYLER KARALEWICH ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Apart from their competition between who has the better cheesesteak and whether Wawa or Sheetz is better, New Jersey and Pennsylvania both love their wrestling. It’s really something both states pride themselves in.

While both states pride themselves in their grappling, they also do it for good reason. New Jersey and Pennsylvania produce some of the top wrestlers in the nation.

An overwhelming majority of the Rutgers wrestling team is from New Jersey and the next closest state represented by the Scarlet Knights is Pennsylvania.

Competing close to home is something everyone on the team cherishes, but when you talk about New Jersey, it’s a whole different animal of passion, knowledge and almost a sense of craziness.

But what is clear is the love for the sport.

It’s something unique for junior 149-pounder Ken Theobold, who hails from Toms River, New Jersey, and wrestled at Toms River South High School.

“The fans here are great. We’re lucky enough to have a good fan base being out of New Jersey and close to [Pennsylvania], which is another big wrestling state,” Theobold said. “But, New Jersey is one of a kind, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I like that the fans not only want us to do [well], but expect us to do [well]. That’s a good expectation to have.”

Those expectations from the New Jersey fans are good when the Knights are placSEE FANATICISM ON PAGE 13

Assistant fosters successful ‘D’ GARRETT STEPIEN CORRESPONDENT

Meghan Ryan remembers the days when she laced up her cleats and trotted out onto Yurcak Field, as the cheers from the Scarlet faithful residing in the stands resonated from the bleachers.

Not too long ago, Ryan was a center back for the Rutgers women’s soccer team. A natural-born leader, Ryan pushed for playing time immediately and served as a three-year co-captain beginning in the fall of her sophomore year.

The Annapolis, Maryland, native joined the Scarlet Knights due to the culture that then-associate head coach Mike O’Neill instilled along with then-head coach Glenn Crooks.

After buying into that mentality as a player, Ryan wanted to continue to preach it as a coach.

“It just came down to the habits that they instilled in me and then they believed in me,” Ryan said, referring to the coaching staff upon her arrival as a player. “… I think that’s carried over to me as a coach.”

Working primarily with the defensive backline she once anchored for four years from 2004 to 2007, she has had a goal of taking the team’s defense to new heights.

Ranking among the best in the Big Ten in terms of goals allowed and shutouts, Ryan has been able to see that vision manifest in her first season as the program’s associate head coach.

“Since I came back, it’s made it ver y clear that we don’t give up goals. That’s why

I decided to come to Rutgers [as a coach] — because I wanted to make sure we continued that,” Ryan said. “The biggest thing for [the players] is making sure they know that and they finally understand the New Jersey pride that they’re having with getting shutouts, because a lot of people are talking about them.”

When O’Neill brought Ryan onto his coaching staf f as a volunteer immediately after she graduated, he saw her ability to directly relate to the players as an advantage to her coaching style.

“I think it’s so impor tant when you’re a coach to have those habits as a player that people respect, and as a player, she SEE ASSISTANT ON PAGE 14

VOLLEYBALL LEE PLAYED UNDER WERNEKE AT FAIRFIELD, EARNING VARIOUS ACCOLADES

Coaching duo shares special bond at RU CONOR NORDLAND STAFF WRITER

EDWIN GANO / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

When CJ Werneke took the job as head coach for the Rutgers volleyball team, he brought a number of experiences and resources with him from his tenure at Fairfield.

Werneke departed from Fairfield as the school’s all-time winningest coach and was named MAAC Coach of the Year in 2006 and 2007.

Apart from his coaching philosophy, recruiting strategy and overall standards, Werneke also brought something far more valuable than any of these items.

Lindsey Lee, one of Werneke’s most decorated players at Fairfield, was brought in to serve as his first assistant coach.

Lee was a standout in her four-year career at Fairfield. As an outside hitter, she became MAAC Rookie of the Year in 2004, Offensive Player of the Year in 2006 and was one of only
