Rutgers student found dead in Hudson River KATIE PARK CORRESPONDENT

The body of Paul Kim, a 20-yearold School of Arts and Sciences junior from Fairview, New Jersey, was found washed up in the Hudson River in New York City Tuesday morning, according to nj.com.

Around 10:20 a.m., pedestrians spotted Kim’s bicycle on the New Jersey-bound south walkway of the George Washington Bridge and alerted authorities, according to the article.

Authorities have not yet confirmed how Kim died. However, a source said the death appeared to be a suicide, according to the article.

People described Kim, a graduate of Cliffside Park High School, as “genuine” and “funny.”

His older brother, Christopher Kim, took to Twitter to share his sadness.

“To my little brother, my best friend, Paul J. Kim,” he tweeted on Oct. 22. “[I love you], man. Rest in Paradise [with] grandma.”

Condolences began pouring in shortly afterwards.

Richard Edwards, executive vice president for academic affairs, said in an email that Rutgers mourned the loss of the “gifted young man” and offered sympathy to the family.

In memory of Paul Kim, Christopher Kim set up a “GoFundMe” page on Oct. 22 to raise money for his brother’s memorial.

The fundraiser, which Christopher Kim set up with a goal of $8,000, raised $9,975 in one day.

The family held a wake on Friday and a funeral on Saturday morning.

“On behalf of our family I just wanted to say thank you for your amazing love and support,” Christopher Kim Tweeted on Oct. 23.

As of Oct. 26, a day after Paul Kim’s funeral, $11,260 was raised in his memory.

Latina summit highlights female leadership, growth DAVID NORRIS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

April Hernandez Castillo’s stor y of being a sur vivor of abuse and conquering her fears amplified the message of women’s empowerment at the 2014 “LUPE Latina Summit.”

“When you’re looking at your dreams, and you’re looking at the impossible, grab the bull by the balls,” said Castillo, keynote speaker at the summit.

The all-day summit, described as the “statewide conference for Latinas,” was held in partnership with the Douglass Residential College at the Douglass Student Center on Saturday.

It was planned with the partic-

ular goal of engaging, educating and empowering Latina women.

Participants had an opportunity to mentor attendees.

The main objective of the summit is to network, and the second thing being to educate, said Peggy Anastos, president of the LUPE Fund, an organization meant to represent Latinas and provide them with the ser vices and abilities to overcome any barriers they face.

“Any time an event is put together by Latinas, for Latinas, it’s going to be something spectacular,” said Isabella Restrepo, a graduate student in the Depar tment of Women’s and SEE SUMMIT ON PAGE 4

Brian Bergen said he learned the fundamentals of business while ser ving in the militar y. Now that training has paid off with a $20,000 award.

Similar to the reality television show “Shark Tank,” participants in the annual “Rutgers Business School Business Plan” competition created a viable business plan and presented their entrepreneurial endeavors to a panel of three judges.

Bergen, owner of the Denville, New Jersey-based interior landscaping company Bergen Botanicals, won the $20,000 prize.

Paula Zwiren, president of Zwiren Title Agency in Livingston, New Jersey, received $15,000 for second place.

Zwiren and Bergen are both Flex MBA students.

Flex MBA graduates Sarah Blessing and Joanna Trzaska and their team, Aamir Khan and Leann Cosley-Richardson, won the $10,000 third-place prize for the fitness band TRAINgle.

Ray Rossi, director of the competition since 2011, said Rutgers tried to select businesses with a high probability of success that are on the verge of becoming commercialized and are ready to launch.

Brian Bergen, owner of Bergen Botanicals, won $20,000 from Rutgers Business School for his plan. COURTESY OF DANIEL STOLL Although Bergen admitted he has no green thumb, his company is raking in the green with anticipated annual revenues of $150,000 this year.

In Bergen’s entr y, employees log each ser vice visit on a mobile application and submit the notes and records of work performed to the clients via email.

This streamlines the entire process for both customers and staff.

with slow-moving, outdated processes and use new technology to be more efficient and look more impressive to potential customers,” Bergen said.

Award-winning professor shares her teaching philosophy, experiences LIN LAN CORRESPONDENT

Phuti Mahanyele was 17 years old when she arrived at Douglass Residential College from her apartheid-stricken home in Johannesburg, South Africa. Her mother had recently passed away.

At Rutgers, Mahanyele met Penelope Lattimer, an educator who took the young woman under her wing, bringing her to events around campus and in New York City.

This summer, Lattimer looked on with pride as Mahanyele gave a presentation beside former President Bill Clinton at the United States-Africa Leaders Summit in Washington, D.C. With her extensive experiences as an educator and nurturer of students, Lattimer, director of the Rutgers Institute for Improving Student Achievement, was awarded the 2014 Ernest L. Boyer Outstanding Educator Award earlier this month.

Twenty years have passed since Mahanyele’s 1994 graduation, and the two are still close. There are several others who have been inspired by Lattimer.

Michael Kuchar, superintendent of Bergenfield Public Schools, has worked closely with Lattimer in the

past and emphasized how she has helped many children, regardless of their socioeconomic background.

“To me, Dr. Penelope Lattimer is our generation’s Maya Angelou for education,” Kuchar said. “She is a role model and an inspiration … the quintessential educator.”

The New Jersey Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development presents this award annually to an educational leader who

has made a major contribution and commitment to the field of education that exemplifies the Boyer’s, according to the NJASCD website.

The award was created in the memory of Boyer, a former Secretary of Education, to inspire educators to advance education and make a difference in the lives of young people.

Therapist leads workshop on religious, spiritual connections ELMER CHANG CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A person may identify himself as religious yet feel distanced from the spiritual world.

Another individual may feel spiritually connected yet completely irreligious.

To help her par ticipants begin to understand how religion and spirituality intersect, Rutgers School of Social Work coadjutant Michelle Deering, a licensed psychologist and a therapist, led social workers through a series of interactive exercises on Friday at the 11th annual GSAPP Cultural Conference in the Busch Student Center.

“The point of the presentation was to help practitioners in mental health to understand the context in which they’re working in society as a whole,” Deering said. “ … In order for them to work with their clients one-on-one, they need to understand themselves in terms of where they are in their own personal journey.”

Deering, who earned her bachelor’s degree in biology from Brown University before finishing her educational career with a doctorate in counseling psychology at Rutgers, said this workshop was sup-

posed to be two, full-day sessions. She instead ended up with two hours on one day.

In addition to teaching classes, she operates her private practice, Curative Connections LLC, in Watchung, New Jersey.

Deering’s experience in guiding social workers showed through her program, “Spirits In the (Psychological)

“This was a little more personal, talking about our personal beliefs,” Varnay said. “And the people at the table were ver y friendly.”

Brian Coleman, a lecturer in the School of Social Work, also par ticipated in this introductor y activity.

“I enjoyed talking with the people in the group and hearing about

Par ticipants then formed small groups to examine scenarios involving classified cases in which the code of ethics was the focus of the discussion.

The lesson for therapists here was to not connect with the patient in a way that makes it seem as though the therapist’s own beliefs are being applied to that individual, Deer-

Attendees filled out a family religion genogram and then discussed their religious or spiritual identifications.

The purpose of this exercise was to allow the par ticipants to feel comfor table and express their personalities while sharing their beliefs, Deering said.

The par ticipants were able to convey exactly how significant religion or spirituality was in their ever yday lives.

“It gives me the strength and the peace that I need to go into a dif ficult situation,” Varnay said. “It’s a source of strength.”

Coleman said thinking about God is useful, and spirituality is impor tant to him because it ser ves as a source of suppor t.

ing said.

She recalled an experience in which she acquainted herself with a client too openly and too quickly. The client did not show up for the next therapy session, she said.

“I cannot assume a sense of familiarity with someone … I’m not in their shoes,” she said.

“They’re not in mine.”

Deering told the practitioners that if they come across a client who identifies as nonreligious, they should take a slightly dif ferent route.

“I would then ask what the client likes to do to relax,” Deering said. “What settles you, grounds you, uplifts you?

What reenergizes you?”

The concluding activity was an ephemeral breathing exercise titled, “Touch and Breathe.” The par ticipants used their index fingers to touch and apply minimal pressure at three points on their bodies and then breathe methodically.

Following the exercise, Coleman said he could see its advantages and that he would probably implement the exercise into his teaching on some level.

“I wanted to hear some different ideas that people had for using spirituality in working with people around dif ferent issues that they have,” he said.

“And, I felt like I learned that.”

With the presentation delivered and goal of her workshop accomplished, Deering said she was hear tened by the curious and respectful audience’s attitude.

“They were engaged in the process and courageously open to look at themselves and then consider the dif ferent scenarios that we were bringing for th, as well as consider their colleagues they were sitting across from,” she said.

he also ser ved in Iraq.

Bergen attributes much of his hands-on business success to the military, where he honed his skills in risk taking, decision making and self-discipline.

Bergen Botanicals, a service-disabled veteran-owned business, donates 20 percent of its profits to organizations supporting veterans with disabilities.

It is also on track to become the first Benefits Corporation in its industr y. The title holds the company to certain business practices, such as buying all supplies from local vendors, Bergen said.

“Giving back makes me feel fulfilled,” he said.

Bergen and second-place winner Zwiren had multiple classes together before competing against each other.

Zwiren was drawn to real estate at a young age. Her mother, father and stepmother all worked in the business, which is why it was no shock when she formed her the title agency in 2013.

“The day my mother gave birth to me, she was looking at a title file,” she said. “The title industry just came naturally to me.”

Zwiren spotted a business opportunity when the government enacted regulations to tighten the standards banks follow when they do business with third-party title agencies.

Winning the competition gives Zwiren Title Agency, a certified women-owned business, a new benchmark of success. Clients need a reason to work with a start-up instead of an established company, she said, and the award offers her greater credibility.

During the multi-step process of the competition, Zwiran was forced to think about her business in a fresh way. She said the insight she gained from the exercise was valuable.

Zwiren used the money to purchase target customers and mail a marketing campaign to more than 2,000 attorneys.

In addition to holding an MBA, Zwiren is a licensed attorney in New York and New Jersey. Her legal experience, combined with her business experience, made the judges feel her title agency would succeed.

Unlike the other competition winners, TRAINgle is a product-based business. Blessing came up with the idea for a more stylish-looking fitness bracelet during one of her entrepreneurship classes. So she partnered with fellow classmates Cosley-Richardson, Khan and Trzaska to design TRAINgle — a play on the word bangle. The wearable device tracks steps, distance and calories burned.

“TRAINgle found a niche by following the health and wellness craze in the country,” Rossi said. “The idea to make the bracelets people wear to track their health more fashionable was something that had a high probability of success.”

The wearable device prototype was developed using 3D printing technology. The team plans to use the prize money to secure a patent for the product.

In previous years, at least twothirds of the business competition proposals the judges received were apps. Virtually none made it to the semi-finals because the competition for apps is too high and the probability of success too low, Rossi said.

“A lot of people have great ideas, but they don’t go anywhere because they haven’t analyzed market needs closely enough,” Rossi said.

“TRAINgle was able to figure out exactly what the market needed.”

Executive summaries for next year’s competition are due by Dec. 5, 2014.

Researchers explain the science behind horrors, hauntings HARSHEL PATEL CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Through almost 2 1/2 centuries of existence, Rutgers has seen many haunted houses and visiting ghosts.

But while the belief in ghosts is real, ghosts themselves do not exist, said Julien Musolino, an associate professor in the Department of Psychology.

The belief in souls could stem from the development of other cognitive abilities, or it could have been “selected for” through evolution. People appear to be naturally inclined to believe in souls either way, Musolino said.

“If you couple the fact that beliefs in souls and ghosts are ver y intuitive with the fact that most people aren’t professional scientists, … you can begin to understand why beliefs in souls and ghosts are so prevalent,” Musolino said in an email.

There is no scientific evidence to support the belief in souls, he said. The major reasons for this include the lack of evidence supporting the idea that the mind and body are two separate entities.

Near death experiences where people see the “light at the end of the tunnel” or have their “lives flash before their eyes” are completely real experiences but are not due to the soul, he said.

These experiences can be explained through neuroscience without discussing the soul.

Karen Haboush, an associate clinical professor in the Depar tment of Psychology, said children’s beliefs in ghosts stem from their developing cognitive abilities.

When people claim to interact with ghosts, they often describe feeling strange sensations like being overcome with extreme cold or being touched when they are not, Musolino said. This is due to a number of reasons unrelated to the paranormal.

Scientists believe that ghosts and other hauntings are the product of cognitive functions and cultural norms. Children see ghosts because they cannot distinguish fantasy from reality.

Another concept is that ghosts and spirits are passed through generations because they are described to be just like people, Musolino said. They have memories, consciousness and more traits that people have — they only lack a physical body.

“This may explain why their cultural transmission has been so successful,” he said.

Andrea DiSanto, a sophomore in the School of Arts and Sciences, said ghosts are only a figment of people’s imaginations.

“I don’t think Rutgers is haunted — at least, I hope it isn’t,” she said. “But if it were, I think it would be somewhere around Old Queens because it is rich in histor y.”

Professor discusses benefits of shale rock gas extraction DARSHAN NANDHA CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A breakthrough in drilling methods may soon allow the United States access to a coal replacement, said Corey Lang, an assistant professor at The University of Rhode Island.

The United States only recently began accessing this resource, but has already seen positive environmental and economic effects, he said.

Gal Hochman, an associate professor in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, said shale gas is an unconventional way to extract natural gas.

It is a tremendous resource that is extracted from shale rock, which is found deep underneath the surface, Lang said.

This natural gas was only recently made accessible due to a technological breakthrough in a method of drilling, he said. En-

gineers found a way to drill horizontally into the shale rock to extract the natural gas that was trapped in microscopic pores. “[It has] ver y clear macroeconomic effects on the United States economy,” he said.

The extraction of this resource has benefited college

The research showed a positive macroeconomic change on the Pennsylvania side because many homeowners in the region where the shale rock was drilled had been compensated, he said.

Experts studied locations in Pennsylvania and New York, he said. Drilling for shale gas occurred in Pennsylvania, while on the New York side there was

“Natural gas is used for heating and producing electricity in many parts of the [US],” Hochman said. “Shale gas helps keep the price of these down.”

Even though this new resource is highly utilized and economically efficient, the ques-

tainly has positive greenhouse effects,” he said.

In addition to positive environmental and economic effects, it is also good with the political sector, Pray said. Shale gas gives the U.S. a bit of leverage over Russia because it decreases the reliance on oil.

The two primar y environmental concerns with shale gas development are air and water contamination, Lang said.

The drilling can cause seepage into water filters, which can be very dangerous to people who reside near drilling locations and rely on the water from that area, such as private wells, he said.

It can also end up in nearby lakes or water bodies and have negative effects to the wildlife that inhabit the surrounding area, he said.

There will be no direct environmental damage in New Jersey because there are no shale deposits underneath the state, he said.

“It’s not perfect,” Pray said.

Despite the environmental concerns with extracting this resource, natural gas can turn out to be a ver y successful resource, Lang said.

“At this time, I think in the long term [shale gas] is wor th it,” he said.

Quarantined nurse speaks out on state’s mishandling of treatment

SHOOTING SORROW Chris Green and Angela Green, both graduates of Marysville-Pilchuck High School, walk with their daughter Dorothy, 2, as they take flowers to the makeshift memorial outside the school in Marysville, Washington, yesterday. REUTERS

NEW YORK - Illinois joined New York and New Jersey in imposing mandator y quarantines for people arriving with a risk of having contracted Ebola in West Africa, but the first person isolated under the new rules, a nurse returning from Sierra Leone, called her treatment a “frenzy of disorganization.”

Kaci Hickox, who arrived at Newark airport in New Jersey on Friday, described hours of questioning by officials in protective gear and what she said was a mis-diagnosis of fever, followed by a transfer to a hospital isolation tent.

Not long after Hickox’s criticisms were made public, it was announced that the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, is traveling to Guinea yesterday. She will also visit Liberia and Sierra Leone, making the trip despite calls by some U.S. lawmakers for a travel ban on the three West African countries worst-affected by Ebola.

Power, a member of President Barack Obama’s cabinet, left Washington on Saturday.

Obama has resisted Republican calls for a travel ban on advice from health officials who say such a measure would be counter-productive, in part because it would impede people going to help fight the epidemic. Concern over Ebola has become a political issue ahead of Nov. 4 congressional elections.

Hickox, in an article published on Saturday by The Dallas Morn-

ing News on its website, said she worried about what was in store for other American health workers trying to help combat the epidemic that has killed thousands in West Africa.

“I … thought of many colleagues who will return home to America and face the same ordeal. Will they be made to feel like criminals and prisoners?” she wrote.

“I am scared that, like me, they will arrive and see a frenzy of disorganization, fear and, most frightening, quarantine,” wrote Hickox, who was working for the medical charity Doctors Without Borders in Sierra Leone.

Hickox’s quarantine came under a policy introduced by New York and New Jersey states on Friday, by which anyone arriving at John F. Kennedy International Airport or Newark Liberty International Airport after having contact with patients in the Ebola-ravaged countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea must submit to a mandator y quarantine for 21 days. Three weeks is the longest documented period for an Ebola infection to emerge.

The quarantines were imposed after a New York City doctor was diagnosed with the disease on Thursday, days after returning home from working with patients in Guinea. Dr. Craig Spencer, who is being treated at Bellevue Hospital Center in Manhattan, was the fourth person to be diagnosed

with the illness in the United States and the first in the country’s largest city.

Spencer’s case, and the fact he was out and about in the city in the period before his symptoms emerged, set off renewed worries in the United States about the spread of the disease.

Illinois will now also require a mandatory quarantine of anyone who has had direct contact with Ebola patients in those countries, Governor Pat Quinn said. His announcement did not explicitly discuss it, but the new measure was likely aimed at people arriving at Chicago O’Hare International Airport.

The airport is one of five U.S. airports where health screening is in place for passengers whose journeys originated in the three countries that have borne the brunt of the worst Ebola outbreak on record. Such passengers are now obliged to route journeys into the United States through those five airports.

There was no word yet on whether such quarantines would be imposed in Virginia, where Washington Dulles International Airport is located, or in Georgia, where the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is located. The mandatory quarantines imposed by states exceed current federal guidelines, although the Obama administration is discussing similar measures.

Administration must be accessible to student body BRIEF AND WONDROUS NOMIN UJIYEDIIN

E

ver y week, I spend almost as much time on a bus as I do in class. It’s a pretty typical experience for a Rutgers student, and in a way, this has come to define Rutgers for me. The endless waiting, the tragically inaccurate Nextbus displays, the feeling of being a sardine packed in a mobile, four-wheeled tin. After I graduate, when I reminisce about my time on the Banks, my most vivid (if not my most interesting) memories will be of those red-and-black patterned seats, the crescendo of that motor, the railings that are just out of my reach, the uncomfor table, yet weirdly comfor ting, closeness of my fellow students surrounding me.

The ordeal of taking the bus is a necessity at a school with five campuses separated by a highway, a river and city streets — a school with proper ty all over the state. A school characterized more by fragmentation than by unity. The geographical separation of each campus contributes to the isolation of students from their classes and professors, the academic depar tments from each other and from the students they ser ve and the administration from us all. Rutgers has a frosty relationship with its faculty, which has been protesting pay freezes and other unequal labor practices. It also has a distant relationship with its own

students, one fraught with bureaucratic hurdles and tales of the “RU Screw.”

This lack of communication is underscored by a geographical separation.

As an editorial in The Daily Targum obser ved last week, none of the buildings on Old Queens, the current home of the administration, are classroom buildings. This separation from the rest of campus is symbolic, too — how many students visit Old Queens as often as they do Voorhees Mall, Livingston Plaza or even Hamilton Street? Thus far, the inaccessibility of the administration has

student body is alternately ignored, condescended to and mistreated. Undergraduates suf fer some of the worst consequences of administrative decisions and budget cuts at the University. When a depar tment no longer has enough money to buy Scantrons, we’re forced to take our exams online. When money is diver ted from diversity initiatives, we lose a place to find community.

When the University pays an exorbitant fee to change athletic conferences, we make up the dif ference by paying more tuition. These are all real changes that

“The challenges facing Rutgers are diverse and daunting, and are too numerous to be elaborated here. But I want to ask: how can we even begin to tackle these challenges when the administration refuses to engage with its students and its faculty? How can the University move forward without the input of the people it is meant to serve?” bred resentment and confusion among the student body, and with news that the administration will be consolidated in a concrete for tress two miles away from Busch campus, that distance will only be reinforced.

It’s no wonder that student groups have reacted with consternation to University President Rober t L. Barchi’s recent announcement that he will not meet with students for the duration of the semester. The existence of organizations like Where RU Barchi and Students for Shared Governance reflects a genuine frustration with the way the

have happened at Rutgers, and they have made a real impact on the student body.

The vast majority of students at Rutgers hail from New Jersey, and as an employee at an institution funded in par t

by New Jersey taxpayers, Barchi is performing a public ser vice. He has a duty to the state to ensure its students are treated with respect and care. He has an obligation to enforce fair labor practices so the University’s staf f and faculty can be provided with the salaries and benefits they deser ve. But most impor tantly, Barchi’s primar y responsibility is to the

students, without whom the University would exist in the first place, not to corporate interests, athletic conferences or the nebulous goal of academic prestige. A few meetings with Barchi aren’t enough to move the bureaucratic mountains necessar y to create real change at Rutgers, but they are a star t. Barchi should remember that a strong student voice is integral to the welfare of any institution of higher learning. But if no one is listening, our voices will go unanswered.

The challenges facing Rutgers are diverse and daunting, and are too numerous to be elaborated here. But I want to ask: How can we even begin to tackle these challenges when the administration refuses to engage with its students and its faculty? How can the University move for ward without the input of the people it is meant to ser ve? Administrative staf f and governing bodies at Rutgers, take note. The students, staf f and faculty are angr y, and something needs to be done.

It’s telling that the buses have come to symbolize Rutgers for me. In many ways, Rutgers is a school defined by separation, a lack of transparency that has come to characterize ever ything about the University — not only the distance between campuses, but also the cold shoulder of President Barchi. It’s up to the administration to close that gap.

Animals such as rabbits, mice, rats and guinea pigs unwillingly give their lives just so you can have the latest waterproof mascara.

However, the tests these animals go through are far less than glamorous. Tests like skin sensitivity and lethal dose 50 tests are done to ensure the safety of the ingredients

of the new ways to test their ingredients and products and advocate other brands to do away with animal testing.

In addition to shopping cruelty-free, you can support the Humane Cosmetics Act that was introduced to Congress earlier this year. This bill would make it illegal to test on animals for cosmetics as well as ban the import of cosmetics that were tested on animals in any other countr y.

QUOTE OF THE DAY One of the things that I like to remind people is that education is the profession that informs all other professions. For people who are productive at whatever they are doing in life, it’s because they are constantly learning and allowing themselves to grow.

BULLRUSHED

Knights drop third straight game after 2-0 shutout at Minnesota

Abdullah broke loose for touchdown runs of 53 and 48 yards in second quarter

CONTINUED FROM BACK were abundant for Rutgers.

The 2-0 final score was the worst loss for O’Neill’s team since Mar yland downed the Knights in their Big Ten opener by the same mark back on Sept.

12, but the match against Minnesota on Sunday in Minneapolis was closer than it indicates.

Despite being outshot as a team for the first team all season long by a mark of 14-13, Rutgers created its fair share of chances to put itself in the driver’s seat. Senior for ward Stef Scholz and sophomore midfielder Madison Tiernan each posted four shots, but couldn’t conver t on finding the back of the net.

In Madison, Wisconsin, after a slow star t where the Knights recorded only one shot on goal and trailed after a Kodee Williams header in the 25th minute put the Badgers up 1-0, Rutgers attacked aggressively in the second half.

The Knights generated a whirlwind of chances to get back into the game on of fense by ripping seven shots in the second half to eventually outshoot Wisconsin, 10-7, but the ball simply didn’t bounce their way. When the scoreboard hit all zeroes, Rutgers fell, 1-0.

“I think it was a little bit of a hangover from the previous

match [a home loss against Nor thwestern],” O’Neill said.

“And then in the second half we found our way again. We did a lot of great things, created a lot of great oppor tunities, but just [were] unlucky not to finish.”

On paper, things don’t look too good for the Knights. A team predicated of f of downing opponents in shutout fashion has had a taste of its own medicine for the past three matches — and has yet to respond to the recent adversity that has seemingly stunned it.

But with one game left, O’Neill stayed firm in his belief that the mishaps are something the Knights can capitalize on moving for ward.

With the season finale at Ohio State on Halloween and the Big Ten tournament looming thereafter, they will have to figure it out quickly.

“It was a tough weekend because we lost both games, but we played both well and created many oppor tunities,” O’Neill said. “… But like I said, I think the key thing is if we weren’t creating chances, then that would be a big issue.

But we’re creating chances, now we just have to finish our oppor tunities, and as soon as you get one [goal], the gates will open up again.”

CONTINUED FROM BACK big plays on the ground, holding Abdullah to 26 yards on six first-quarter carries. Even after a 16-yard touchdown scramble by dual-threat quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr., Rutgers came away with a manageable 7-7 tie at the end of the period.

And then came the second quarter.

Abdullah showed why analysts project him as a possible first-round pick in next April’s NFL Draft, breaking loose for touchdown runs of 53 and 48 yards on consecutive drives to give all momentum to Nebraska (7-1, 3-1) in a game that was never close again.

“Once he gets through the first level, he does a great job bursting, and I think that’s the biggest thing,” said senior defensive end David Milewski. “If you’re able to slow him down before he gets to that, then you could do a good job holding him up. If he finds a gap, he puts a foot in the ground and he gets up the field faster than a lot of other backs, and I think that’s the difference: how quickly he could change direction, make a quick cut and just get vertical up the field.”

What transpired late in the second quar ter likely made Rutgers fans cringe and only made the uphill climb that much more dif ficult.

Staring at a 14-point lead with one minute left in the quarter, Flood decided to try to score before halftime rather than run out the clock at Rutgers’ own 2-yard line. That decision ultimately cost the Knights their starting quarterback.

On the next play, after Rutgers picked up a first down to the 14-yard line, the Cornhuskers flushed senior Gary Nova out of the pocket. Then, 300-pound defensive tackle Maliek Collins hurried Nova to force an incomplete pass, but Nova slipped to the ground as his knee slammed.

With his back on the turf, Nova laid in pain for several minutes before two trainers helped him off

“I felt like we needed to be aggressive. I felt like we needed to give ourselves an opportunity to see if we could get some points.”

KYLE FLOOD Head Coach

the field. He missed the remainder of the play, even though he threw a football on the sideline before the second half started to try to stay in the game.

Flood said he likely will not have an update on Nova’s status until Tuesday, but the third-year head coach isn’t second-guessing the decision to pass the ball in that situation.

“I felt like we needed to be aggressive. I felt like we needed to give ourselves an opportunity to see if we could get some points there at the end of first half,” Flood said. “I said that to [offensive coor-

dinator] Ralph [Friedgen] right before the drive started, and he called the plays accordingly.”

Redshirt freshman Chris Laviano stepped in at quarterback the rest of the way, completing 4-of-7 passes for 50 yards. He also had a 46-yard scamper down the right sideline early in the third quarter, but it hardly mattered as Nebraska’s lead ballooned to 35-10 midway through the third quarter.

Still, should Nova miss time moving forward, Rutgers’ leading receiver has faith in Laviano’s ability to lead the huddle.

“A lot of people in his position probably would’ve been scared, but Chris came out there very excited,” said junior wideout Leonte Carroo.

“A lot of high energy from him, and he was ready to go. … I’m very excited for the opportunity he has in front of him, and I can’t wait to see what he does with it.”

But plenty of other concerns still linger with Rutgers’ play on the field, particularly with securing open-field tackles and handling the size of Big Ten defensive fronts.

Flood insists the Knights come out of a grueling two-game road trip a better football team, but only time will tell.

“It starts with looking at this film and making sure that we’re making the corrections and then coming back to practice and just executing better,” Milewski said. “It starts with me, and it goes through the rest of the defensive line and the rest of the defense. But we’ve got to put this game behind us, get better from it, learn from the film and then come ready on Monday to work.”

October 27, 2014 WRESTLING WRESTLE-OFFS

FIELD HOCKEY

Exhibition paves way for season TYLER KARALEWICH ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Head coach Scott Goodale never really bought into the whole concept of the wrestle-offs. For him, it’s just an extension of practice where everything ends up being a lot different than actual training.

Actually, Goodale doesn’t really like wrestle-offs at all, but still finds some things to take from the exhibition that takes place prior to the season.

This past Saturday, the Rutgers wrestling team hosted its annual wrestle-offs, and while team scores were not kept in dual-meet fashion for either the Scarlet nor Black team, there were positives to take from all sides, Goodale sid.

“I don’t really get into it, I don’t really like them,” Goodale said. “But to start the season, you have to kind of get a feel for where your guys are at. It’s good that they have to make weight, come up here and wrestle in front of all these people. So, there is a lot of anxiety, but all-in-all there was some good bouts, but it’s hard to open up on your teammates.”

Although Goodale credits anxiety for some mishaps in the dual-meet exhibition, there were performances that stood out for the Scarlet Knights.

Sophomore 174-pounder Phil Bakuckus didn’t seem nervous after he earned a 17-2 technical fall over freshman Lucky Shaut in the second bout of the dual. Bakuckus opened up the scoring with a takedown and earned three back points eight seconds into the match.

For Bakuckus, he said there were no nerves. He was simply

ready to wrestle after sitting out for a while and being unable to grapple with an injury.

“I was just ready to go out there and wrestle,” Bakuckus said. “I had just been injured with my shoulder over the past three weeks, so I couldn’t really wrestle live. It felt good to just go out there and wrestle live in front of a crowd. I was pretty pumped up to just go out there and do my thing.”

One of the most anticipated matches was redshirt-freshman 141-pounder Anthony Ashnault. The South Plainfield, New Jersey, product faced sophomore Jalen Ramos.

“They were confident they were going to win and went out and scored as much points as possible.”

SCOTT GOODALE Head Coach

Ashnault sought to impress and make a statement in his opening match for the Knights scoring a 19-4 tech fall, with all of Ramos’ points coming from escapes where Ashnault appeared to force the neutral start.

With such a good performance from both Bakuckus and Ashnault, Goodale was quick to praise their work and their talent.

“They were confident they were going to win and went out and scored as [many] points as

possible — that’s how you got to approach every match no matter who you wrestle,” Goodale said.

“Phil’s really, really good. He can be special and I think he is going to be there at the end, I really do. And with Anthony Ashnault, I believe all the expectations, I believe all the hype and I believe everything, but he still has to do it. He’s going to be be really good.”

Goodale said there were surprises and upsets Saturday in the preseason exhibition.

Sophomore 125-pounder Sean McCabe fell 4-3 in a minor decision to freshman Nick Ottaviano.

McCabe returns this season after compiling a 21-12 overall record last season, going 6-5 in duals, and was a staple in Rutgers starting lineup.

“There were a couple upsets,” Goodale said. “At 125-pounds there was a huge upset. Good for Nick Ottaviano, and at 165, it wasn’t really a surprise, but the most anticipated match at 133-pounds between [Freshman Anthony Giraldo and sophomore Scott DelVecchio] went as I thought, anyone can win that on any given day. We’ll have to make a decision on who redshirts there.”

But as exciting as the first outing for the Knights is, there are still bigger and better things waiting the rest of the season, Ashnault said. He was able to put it in perspective.

“For me, I wasn’t really that nervous,” Ashnault said. “My goals are a lot higher than winning the varsity spot.”

Sophomore forward Rachel Yaney scored the first goal during the Knights’ 2-1 win Sunday against James Madison.

The Rutgers field hockey team came into this weekend with its eyes set solely on James Madison in its preparation. And it showed Sunday, as the Scarlet Knights (79) were able to get the win, 2-1.

“I really think it was a great win today,” said head coach Meredith Long. “Our team showed a lot of maturity and composure on the field today. They fought hard.”

The Knights came out in the first half firing on offense. Rutgers was able to score two goals, the first coming from sophomore forward Rachel Yaney and the second from sophomore forward Jasmine Cole.

Rutgers has continually struggled on offense, but this week it played better.

“This was one of our best attacking performances of the season,” Long said, complimenting Yaney, Cole and junior forward Katie Champion’s play.

James Madison (10-6) didn’t go quietly. The Dukes fought back in the first half and throughout the game.

James Madison was able to add a goal shortly after Cole’s in the first half to cut the lead in half, off the stick of for ward Erin Gallivan.

The Knights were stout as they usually are on defense in the second half.

James Madison had the ball in Rutgers’ defensive half for the majority of the final eight minutes of the game, but the Knights were able to stand tall and not give up the game-tying goal.

“We communicated that we needed to mark, up and we knew that you can only score from inside the circle,” said senior midfielder Jenn Staab.

“So we stepped out, made sure

they passed it out and [intercepted] when we could. We were patient.”

Long credited her team’s composure throughout those last eight minutes, saying it was what led them to get the much needed win.

With two minutes remaining, James Madison’s pressure paid off and it earned a corner. Rutgers, however, was able to handle the corner with ease.

“I have a lot of confidence in our defensive corners,” Staab said. “It was scary because it’s a close game, but I wasn’t worried.”

Overall, Long was satisfied in how her team translated the game plan onto the field this week.

“We really wanted to be in control,” Long said. “JMU did everything to get in our defensive circle. We were smart with our passes. The team knew they’d come away with the win, if they remained composed.”

Rutgers did it without a team leader and key player in sophomore midfielder Alyssa Bull.

“Alyssa is such a key player for us,” Long said. “She generates so much attack. Players really stepped up today and filled that gap a little bit.”

Bull sat out as a precaution to get her back for the key clash next Friday against Indiana. She had an offseason ACL surgery and has played almost every minute of every game this season.

Cole described this win as huge for the team.

“It gives us a lot of confidence, coming from last weekend’s losses, and now, having this win gives us that forward momentum for the Indiana game,” Cole said.

October 27, 2014 MEN’S SOCCER OHIO STATE 4, RUTGERS 1

Road loss seals Rutgers’ fate in conference tourney SEAN STEWART ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Earn three valuable road points against a high RPI team and six points in two games of Big Ten conference play and finish the season at .500.

Those were the aspirations Rutgers men’s soccer coach Dan Donigan had for his team entering the first of its final three games Saturday night.

But goals conceded in the opening minutes of the first and second half put the Scarlet Knights (5-9-1, 1-5-1) in a familiar predicament from which they could not recover, falling 4-1.

The loss all but assures the Knights an eighth place finish in the Big Ten conference standings and a play-in game versus Wisconsin in the conference tournament, eliminating any hope Donigan had of earning a higher seed.

“We knew exactly what Ohio State offered in terms of how they were going to play and what we want-

ed to do,” Donigan said. “… So even though we’re aware of it, we still fail to do those little things that are going to keep us out of trouble.”

Trailing 2-1 at halftime, the Buckeyes (7-5-3, 4-2-0) doubled their lead 29 seconds into the second half, when a through ball found forward Danny Jensen, who tucked his shot into the left side of the goal, his third of the season and second of the game.

Ohio State sealed the game 20 minutes later, when a cross from the wing found defender Kyle Culbertson who volleyed the ball into the net.

The fourth goal made it the most the Buckeyes have scored in a single game this season and the fifth time this year Rutgers has conceded three or more goals in a game.

The first half was nearly identical to the second as Ohio State scored just 36 seconds into the game.

Former Rutgers midfielder Max Moller was the one to deliver the opening assist against his ex- teammates, finding Jensen’s head on a

cross from the wing.

Freshman forward Jason Wright managed to level the game 1-1 for his eighth goal of the season in the 22nd minute, when his shot from a free kick deflected into the far post of the goal.

“We dug ourselves a hole, and now we have to dig ourselves out of it. We can’t sulk and feel sorry for ourselves.”

DAN DONIGAN Head Coach

But Buckeye defender Liam Doyle responded with a free kick goal of his own 14 minutes later on a bending shot to the far post from 20 yards out.

“When you [allow goals early in halves] against good teams like the Big Ten teams like Ohio State, you’re

really putting yourself in a hole,” Donigan said. “So, the first goal was less than a minute into the game. The second goal was a foul just near the top of the box right toward the end of the first half that was going to be a dangerous situation for us, and we reiterated to them that restarts are not something we want to give these guys because they have good size.”

The Knights were without junior forward J.P. Correa, who continues to be out with an injury, but Donigan elected to switch back to their 4-5-1 formation, a change from the 4-4-2 setup which led to a 1-0 win Tuesday against Army.

Though Rutgers struggled to create chances going forward, managing just six shots — the second lowest amount this season — Donigan said he was pleased with the tactical changes despite the result.

“They played a 4-5-1 as well. We really wanted to kind of bottle up the midfield, and quite honestly, I thought we did a really good job the first 20-25 minutes,” Donigan said. “… It’s not like we were getting tacti-

cally outplayed on the field. … Guys [just] have to come out and perform at the end of the day.”

The loss was Rutgers’ fourth defeat this season by three goals and a continuation of the team’s struggle to find consistent results — the Knights haven’t won backto-back games since going 2-0 to start the year.

The loss also means any hopes of an NCAA berth would come through the conference tournament, where Rutgers must win out and play an extra play-in game.

But as disappointing a season it has been for a team with high hopes of making its mark on the Big Ten, Donigan insists they must still hold their heads up high.

“We dug ourselves a hole, and now we have to dig ourselves out of it.” Donigan said. “We can’t sulk and feel sorry for ourselves because we’ve done it to ourselves.”

Yet, with 341 all-purpose yards, including 225 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries, Abdullah made another Big Ten road thumping a harsh reality for Rutgers, as Nebraska rolled to a 42-24 win in front of a sold-out crowd of 91,088 fans.

“You have to limit big plays. It’s one of the statistics that we look at that we know determines football games,” said head coach Kyle Flood. “Certainly when you look at from a de-

sophomore middle blocker, led the Rutgers volleyball team with a career-high 17 kills in the team’s five-set loss to Maryland this weekend in the College Ave. Gym. She was one of three Knights to post double-digit kills.

The kids are working hard, they’re playing good soccer, they’re creating chances but we’re just missing out on hitting the back of the net,” O’Neill said. “[The players] are gonna keep working as hard as they can and eventually it’s going to go the way they want it to go.”
