In response to the growingdemand for jobs in the healthcare industry, New Jersey HealthCare Industry Week kicked offits opening ceremony yesterdayat the Rutgers Student Center.
New Jersey Health CareTalent Network, the University’sSchool of Management andLabor Relations, the New JerseyDepartment of Labor andWorkforce Development amongothers hosted the event to drawin students and job seekers tolearn about health care for thisweek-long event.
New Jersey’s health caresector added 171,100 new jobsfrom 1990 through 2011, and isprojected to add nearly 62,000jobs from 2010 through 2020,according to the New JerseyDepartment of Labor andWorkforce Development.
The opening ceremony fea-tured educational talks fromesteemed professionals in theindustry such as NoreenD’Angelo of the N.J. Departmentof Health, Denise V.

Health care industry vendors showcase jobs
Janice Jeschke, a School of Engineering junior, and Maria Qadri,a graduate assistant, talk to Judy Formalarie yesterday at theRutgers Student Center on the College Avenue campus aboutthe different courses offered by the School of Engineering for people interested in the health care industry. YESHA CHOKSHI
Arvind, director of the NewJersey Health Care TalentNetwork, organized the HealthCare Industry Week.
“We wanted to bring everybodyin the health care industry likeemployers, the government, hospi-tals and especially students tocome together to learn about theopportunities for education as wellas jobs in health care,” she said.
The health care industry cur-rently provides a greater opportu-nity for long-term careers com-pared to other industries, such aspharmaceuticals or informationtechnology, Arvind said.
“There is going to be a 25 per-cent job growth rate in the healthcare industry and if you lookwithin health care, there is a dis-cipline called community health,and community health centersare going to become really activeonce Obamacare is implement-ed,” she said.
The program emphasized theneed for mental health profes-sions to help prevent violence,especially gun violence.
“You don’t need to have anM.D. or a Ph.D. to start working[in the health care industry],”Arvind said. “Some are under-graduate or GED level. Peoplecan start at the entry level andwork their way up. That is why Ithink this is a great industry toget into.”
After the information ses-sions, students and job seekerscould network to vendors thatprovided employment and educa-tional opportunities.
One vendor, RebeccaRathmill, senior program coordi-nator for the Office of ContinuingProfessional Education on Cookcampus, said her company offerspublic health training programs.
“People think of health careas hospitals, and a lot of timesthat’s true, but another hugepart of health care is publichealth,” she said.
Rathmill said many careers inthe health care industry do notexist within hospitals. For exam-ple, public health nurses canwork at clinics to administer vac-cines to patients.
The Office of ContinuingEducation provides a 12-weekcourse called Environment andPublic Health, where students cantrain to become health inspectors.
Luisa Gutierraz, a School ofEngineering senior, representedthe Department of BiomedicalEngineering’s station. She saidprofessionals in the field couldhave careers that involve bothengineering and medicine.
“For example, one of the tracksis biomechanics, which is related toprosthetics and another track dealswith artificial hearts, pacemakers,catheters — you name it,” she said.
Saint Peter’s UniversityHospital also held a “MedicalVillage” that showcased newhealth care technology, saidKaitlin M. Patullo, an occupation-al therapist at the hospital.
“We have people from differ-ent parts of the hospital repre-senting and explaining what theydo and how to get toward that soanyone looking for anothercareer or going into college canhave an idea of what’s required todo what we do,” Patullo said.
Calvin Bryant attended theevent because he is seeking acareer in the health care industry.
He expressed interest in learningwhat job positions were open aswell as the training required forthe positions.
“[Dr. Arvind] told us it’s thebiggest industry in terms of jobopenings in the state of NewJersey. She said even if you did-n’t have any related experience,there might be entry-level posi-tions that you can apply for,”he said.
The N.J. Health Care TalentNetwork will move its HealthCare Industry Week across thestate so more New Jerseyanscan participate.

Gelles, who shares officespace with a doctoral student,said his work for the Center forCommunication and HealthIssues, which looks at the vary-ing health issues affecting col-lege students, is highly collabora-tive both within the office andwith the rest of the University.
He does not mind sharingspace because his officemate alsoworks under the umbrella of thecenter, he said.
“It’s a lot easier for me toturn around and tell [my office-mate] something as opposed tohaving to walk to her room orgive her a call or have to shoother an email,” he said. “It expe-dites our processes.”
Gelles said he had not heardmany complaints from peoplewho share offices. Facultyshould expect some disruptionsin their daily work, but having acollaborative setting minimizesthe distraction.
Providing an open space forstudent interaction will also makethe school more appealing tointerested graduate students,especially those interested in newmedia, he said.
“Giving them a space to workand collaborate is very important,because these are the future fac-ulty members,” he said.
Graduate students work forthe faculty, conduct personalresearch, teach classes and bringprestige to the University by pre-senting their research findings,he said.
“The doctoral students, in away, serve a really important pur-pose within SC&I,” he said.“They’re kind of the unsungheroes of SC&I.”
Novick said the shortage ofoffice space became more criticalwithin the last several years asthe school grew. The space short-age has been an issue for years,but the school recently found anopportunity to have the Annexextension address the issue.
The school has three under-graduate majors that are some of
the largest degrees offered bythe University, she said.
The school has more studentsthan it did eight years ago, andthe lack of faculty space impactshow students are able to interactwith professors and doctoralteaching assistants because manyfaculty and staff members shareoffices, she said.
The School of Communicationand Information ultimately plansto centralize its programs in onebuilding on the College Avenuecampus, a long-term goal thatrequires more time and planning,Novick said.
While the addition does notcompletely solve the problem,the additional space would be apositive improvement on thecurrent situation while theschool plans for a new building,she said.
“We hope to be able to move inin the early part of the fall semes-ter,” she said.
After assigning faculty to thenew space, the school willrearrange people in the mainbuilding to create more researchhubs, as well as provide effectivework areas, Trevor said.
Gelles said it took him half anhour to find parking that morn-ing because of the shortage ofspace in the three parking lotsimmediately surrounding theSchool of Communication andInformation buildings.
“There’s a lack of parkinghere, period,” he said.
The school’s expansion risksmaking the already difficult taskof parking more difficult for facul-ty members, because there usedto be a parking lot where theschool is building the Annex’sextension, he said.
Gelles said the buildingextension increases traffic to thearea but does not address theneed to provide parking toaccommodate it.
“It took me half an hour to finda spot, but I finally found a spot,”he said. “I don’t know if it’s anirresolvable issue at this point,but it’s definitely one that needsto be taken into consideration.”

Executive Vice President andInterim Chancellor Richard L.Edwards,” Barchi said.
Sweeney, a former captain ofthe University’s women’s basket-ball and lacrosse teams, she serveson the Executive Committee of thePresident’s Council of the RutgersUniversity Foundation, accordingto the email.
Barchi said the committeewill also have “broad representation” from the NewBrunswick community, includ-ing faculty, students and formerstudent athletes.
Barchi also instated CarlKirschner, special counsel foracademic programs, as interimathletic director. SeniorAssociate Athletic Director DougFillis and chief financial officerfor athletics Janine Purcarowould assist Kirschner.
According to the investigativereport by independent investiga-tor John Lacey of Connell Foley,who was hired by the University,Purcaro attended numerousmeetings with Pernetti regardingRice’s actions.
“[Kirschner] has a keenknowledge of athletics atRutgers from his long service aschair of the Academic OversightCommittee for IntercollegiateAthletics, which reviews theapplications of prospectiveRutgers student athletes andmonitors the academic progressof those who are admitted andenroll,” Barchi said.
Barchi appointedKirschner as interimathletic director
New Brunswick Mayor JimCahill, who was also in atten-dance, said a robust health caresystem is a vital component of athriving community, and SaintPeter’s has been a shining part ofthe New Brunswick communityfor decades.
“Saint Peter’s has been aleader and a pioneer in children’shealth care, especially. Morethan 22,000 children are giventop medical care in its emergencyfacility each year,” Cahill said.
Phill Hartman, chief commu-nications officer for Saint Peter’s,said the new pediatric depart-ment is the first phase of the two-and-a-half-year project the hospi-tal set in motion last July toexpand and remodel their entireemergency department.
“Here at Saint Peter’s, weoperate the largest neo-natalintensive care unit betweenBoston and Washington, D.C.,and we have more babies bornhere every year than any otherhospital in New Jersey, so pedi-atrics is a big part of our busi-ness,” Hartman said.
Everything from the floors tothe ceilings will be brand newand up-to-date, including state-of-

the-art ultrasounds and comput-ers, he said.
Rev. Paul Bootkoski, the bish-op of the Diocese of Metuchen,who also offered openingremarks, officially opened thenew facility with a blessing.
The new department includes14 new beds, 11 of which are in pri-vate rooms — making it the largestpediatric department in the regionincluding Middlesex, Somerset,Hunterdon, Union and Monmouthcounties, Hartman said.
The hospital believes thenew, state-of-the-art expansionwill be a large factor in makingsure the experience of eachpatient is positive and efficient,Hartman said.
“Our staff in the facility will befully 24-7, patients are going to beseen only by board-certified pedi-atric emergency specialists andpediatricians,” Hochberg said.
Hartman said the new facilitywill be equipped with a round-the-clock child-life specialist oncall to help children feel morecomfortable and parents under-stand what is happening withtheir child’s injury.
“When a child is brought inwho is confused or traumatized,the child-life specialist will usedevices like videos and dolls to
try to show the child what willhappen to get them to feel com-fortable,” Hartman said.
In addition, a fast-track stationwill care for patients with non-life-threatening injuries — aiming totreat and discharge them within90 minutes, increasing efficiencygreatly, he said.
“With fast track, kids whocome in with scrapes, lacerationsor minor broken bones won’thave to sit and wait for hours butwill be saved time and stress witha shorter stay at the [EmergencyDepartment],” Hartman said.
Hochberg said the philoso-phy held by Saint Peter’s is nopatient should ever be in thewaiting room.
“If there is an open bed in theemergency facility, the patientshould be brought back immedi-
ately to be seen by a physician.This bright new space will help usaccomplish this,” he said.
Saint Peter’s has, over thepast several years, been able toreduce the time patients spend inthe hospital by 60 percent,Hochberg said.
“We want the experience ofour patients from the very begin-ning to the moment they are dis-charged to be the best they canpossibly have,” Hartman said.
President Robert Donnelly ofthe Dorothy B. Hersh Foundationsaid the new expansion is exactlythe kind of project the foundationaims to support because of itsfocus on helping children first.
“The Hersh Foundation isdedicated to children and chil-dren’s problems, and what wereally look for are sort of brick-
and-mortar type projects thatreally contribute to solving thoseissues. So this project was reallythe perfect fit for the foundation,”Donnelly said.
“This is phase one of the glob-al expansion of our emergencyservices, because it is vital toprovide the kind of services wecan to the children first,”Hochberg said.
Cahill thanked Saint Peter’sUniversity Hospital for its contri-butions to the New Brunswickcommunity and all of its membersin need of top-notch care.
“I’d like to take this opportuni-ty to thank Saint Peter’s on behalfof thousands of parents and atleast one grandfather that I knowof, for their outstanding commit-ment to children’s health care,”Cahill said.

In the future, Sheth hopesMonte Cool can partner withclothing brands that will rebrandthe sunglasses with the clothingcompany’s logo.
Now, blogs promoting theproduct and social networks havecreated a market for new cus-tomers, Chandran said.
“There’s a new Thrillest ... Wewoke up one day, [our product]jumped up 50 orders in one day,how did that happen?,” he said. “Icalled Kunal and we tried to fig-ure it out and we decided it’sbecause this blog decided to postour product up.”
Conference. The University president was still the newguy trying to win over the student body and was comingunder fire for not caring enough about their concerns.And, anyway, a little roughhousing turns boys into men, orso our society says. The drive to succeed trumped whatwas in the best interest of the students, and played into amacho attitude that seems to pervade athletic programsacross the country.
Plus, we were told an investigation was conductedagainst Rice in December — clearly exemplifying thepervading norm of saying what you have to say toappease the public while not having a concrete redressof the issues.
There was also discrepancy between Barchi andPernetti on what being “on the same page” really meant.
One questions how well the twoadministrators really communi-cated with each other, let alonehow seamless their cooperationwas. Clearly, a common under-standing was lacking betweenthe two, and the issue easily fellbetween the cracks.
Barchi’s lack of responsibilityclearly cannot be excused.While it was Pernetti’s duty totake action against Rice’s trans-gressions, it is also the duty of
Barchi to ensure that everyone working under him wasdoing their job the way they were supposed to. The factthat he was made fully aware of what was going on makesthis even more troublesome.
Further, by the time the flurry of media attention camearound, one thing became clear, according to our sportseditor: either Pernetti needed to be fired, or he needed toshow he would severely change his ways — and, in thiscase, the former option was easiest.
As the story continues to unfold and the fog of factscontinues to swirl, one thing remains clear — this was notthe fault of any one person, but rather was the failure of ourUniversity administration as a whole.

W hen all is said and done, the entire MikeRice saga really comes down to onething: accountability.
With all the firing and finger-pointing going on, the pub-lic really just wants to know how this abuse was allowed tocontinue for so long. Is it the fault of University PresidentRobert L. Barchi for letting this happen under his nose?Former Athletic Director Tim Pernetti for not taking imme-diate action when this first came to his attention? FormerDirector of Player Development Eric Murdock for being askeeze? Former head men’s basketball coach Mike Ricebecause, well, shouldn’t he not throw basketballs at playersin the first place?
We’ve gone over the timeline time and time again. It’sbeen published in The Daily Targum, as well as other newsoutlets, under searching eyestrying to find just where thingswent wrong. But maybe the rea-son why we can’t exactly pin-point it is because this all didn’tcome crashing down in oneinteraction, but rather was theshortcoming of the entire inter-connected web of accountability.
We already know Pernettiwas aware of the abuse inNovember. We also know that itwas brought to Barchi’s atten-tion at that time as well — and that he probably didn’twatch the video himself to make an educated decision onwhat course of action to take with Rice. Then there’sMurdock, who, according to ESPN, seems to be gettinginvestigated for the possibility of extortion.
The thing is, at the time the abuse was originallybrought to light, administrative officials probably madeexcuses for it, or didn’t think it was serious enough forredress or possibly just didn’t think it was convenient totake action. And this is a statement on the culture of col-lege sports as we know it.
When Rice’s abuse became apparent, the Universitywas in the middle of trying to get into the Big Ten Athletic

T hough we live in a political systemthat is considered a democracy,seldom do we actually get to expe-
rience the practical, real-life implications ofthis. Ours is a representative democracy,and our participation seldom extendsbeyond voting in the presidential electionand watching mercurial televised punditry.
Media coverage, news analysis and con-temporary discourse frame Occupy WallStreet as being the first application ofdirect democracy in recent times.However, not as many are aware that aprecedent for direct democratic move-ments has been set right here at theUniversity in a campout occupation knownas Tent State University.

W hen uncertainty abounds, it’sbest to start small. Let’s justlist the things we know.
We know that someone close to us hasdone wrong. He knows it, too. We knowthat even though his crime is individual,the shockwaves are communal. That’s howit works. Just ask Penn State University.
We know, deep down, only the mostnaïve among us still look toward the sportsworld for our heroes. If you didn’t pick upon that after Lance Armstrong, TigerWoods, O.J. Simpson or Pete Rose, thenit’s time for you to wise up. Your naiveté isonly going to leave you even more disap-pointed in the future.
On a really, painfully, ironically basicnote, we know that it’s wrong to abuseyoung people, wrong to call anyone a fag-got, wrong to lay your hands on otherswith the intent to harm. Lessons bred inthe kindergarten bone should stick out inthe collegiate flesh. That goes for students,faculty and coaches.

industrial revolution. However, all is notwell in this far-off land.
Ornamentopia is currently facing ashortage of gold. Think of it this way: sincemoney can be used in exchange for goods,there is always a demand for money. SinceOrnamentopia is undergoing an industrialrevolution, demand for money is increas-ing, and they need more money than everbefore. That being said, no new gold hasbeen found. This means there is lessmoney in the economy than is needed, andas a result, prices are lower than theyshould be. Since prices are lower, peoplecare less about producing stuff that peopleneed, so there are less jobs.
However, the people of Ornamentopiarealized this gold thing does not havepractical value. Sure, you can wear it, andit looks pretty and shows that you have
money, but its value is more theoretical.So then if they just put out more papermoney without getting more gold, it wouldstill be theoretical, and that would not real-ly change anything. Maybe this moneycould be as good as gold. Prices might goup a little bit, but that’s much better thanprices dropping.
Now, let’s shift gears to the real world.The above problem may seem complexand abstract, but it actually happened inthe United States in the 1800s. As theUnited States was going through theIndustrial Revolution, there was a shortageof gold — and prices plummeted, particu-larly hurting farmers. This is perhaps oneof the greater dangers of the gold stan-dard. Proponents of it advocate that it willkeep prices stable, but it is at the cost thatyou cannot control them if you need to.
This is a principally relevant issue rightnow — since in the previous election, theRepublican Party included a provision tocreate a commission that would discussreturning to the gold standard on theirplatform in the previous election.Moreover, Representative Ron Paul andSen. Rand Paul, (R-Ky.), the most dynamicfather-son duo in politics are increasinglygaining popularity, and they supportreturning to gold. So note that while thegold standard seems tempting, there arefaults: all that glitters is not gold.

Tent State University is an occupationand practice in direct democracy that occursin Voorhees Mall outside Scott Hall on theCollege Avenue campus. This is Tent State’seleventh year, and next week — April 15through April 19, it will be happening again.
The premise of Tent State is if tuitioncontinues to skyrocket and state and feder-al funding for public higher education con-tinues to wane — at its most extreme, stu-dents will amass debt and not be able topay basic living expenses. The occupationand campout composing Tent StateUniversity is a “university” created by stu-dents — one in which knowledge is sharedand community and culture are fostered.
Tent State can be considered a forumfor the exchange of knowledge and ideas,much like proper universities. During theday, students and faculty hold workshopsand lectures, and some professors teachclasses outside. Speaker events are alsoheld. Frances Fox Piven, acclaimed soci-ologist and political scientist, as well as
professor at City University of New York,will be speaking this year, among others.At night, Tent State transforms into aforum for arts and culture. Performersand musicians hold nightly performancesat Tent State, and in the art city tent, occu-piers can make artwork while local artistsshowcase theirs.
The aspect of direct democracy in TentState is embodied in its daily town hallmeetings. Like Occupy Wall Street’s gener-al assemblies, the occupiers and organiz-ers of Tent State convene every day to dis-cuss problems, address issues and plan thedaily operations in a democratic manner. Itis in this way that Tent State becomes lessa mere occupation and more a pure demo-cratic movement, inclusively opening up itsentire week’s operations for discussionwith the general public.
To create a do-it-yourself system of gov-ernance is powerful, especially when itoperates within the larger polity in whichwe reside. And creating a student-run uni-
versity within a university is a symbolicand poignant display of student power. Wemay realize the discontents in the currentsystem of governance, but even the largestorganizations can sometimes fall short ofactually enacting any real change.However, by creating a community andsubsequent mode of planning and gover-nance, even the smallest voice has a sub-stantial impact. There is some truth to con-servative political activist Paul Weyrich’swords when he says, “Small scale is criticalto local life, to the ability of local people tocontrol what happens where they live.”
And to me, little is more beautiful andempowering than having the ability tocome together as a community to demo-cratically shape and mold their experience.

it comes to this episode. The gravitas ofbuzzwords ebbs and flows relative to thecurrent events to which they are applied.And in today’s college-sports world, theexamples of abuse we’ve all digested overthe past couple years have really done anumber on our innate sensibilities.
With all we’ve seen, with an appreciationfor just how low the moral bar has sunk, onecould forgive us for being a little bit cynicalwhen it comes to the definition of abuse.
We know that everyone shifted uncom-fortably in their seat just now when I sug-gested that maybe the University’s men’sbasketball team wasn’t really “abused”abused. But it’s a part of the dialogue wecan’t just ignore. We have to discuss it if wewant to paint a holistic picture of what real-ly happened. Our sound byte-saturated cul-ture does its best to oversimplify everythingand that includes the contextual and cultur-al aspects of any high-profile news story.
Abuse is a transitive thing, somethingthat requires a doer and a receiver.Conventional wisdom states that only thevictims have the standing to say whetherthey felt abused, and to date, most of theyoung men in question have stopped shortof claiming that they ever did. Some havedefended Rice, his methods and the envi-ronment he built on the court. Sports aresports, and it is, always and everywhere, amacho universe. Much like with the mili-
tary, we tend excuse harsh conditions outof deference to operational effectiveness.Whether we ought to do so, especially atthe collegiate level, is another crucial ques-tion. Chances are, when that discussionfinally has its day, we’ll end up doing thesame thing we did other times we had todecide whether student-athletes weremore students or more athletes. We’ll dowith abusive coaching what we did withmonetary rewards for college athletes:shake our heads, wag our fingers but even-tually relent in the face of the trend’s seem-ingly monolithic prevalence. It happenseverywhere, so why not here?
But until then, I’m going to continueasking if abuse is the right label. Sorry I’mnot sorry.
On the other hand, we know that muchof the context really doesn’t matter, and anappeal to nuance or culture or what goeson inside “every other locker room inevery other college in America” is just acop out. See the previous bit about how hit-ting people is just plain wrong. Wrongnessthat is also very common does not make agiven instance of it somehow less wrong.Two, or three or a hundred wrongs do notcollectively make a right. We know wecan’t let blowhards complaining about the“wussification” of the American man turnall us men into walking Rambo caricatures.We know we deserve better.
But we also know how quickly the pub-lic discourse gets galvanized at theexpense of sober reflection. That kind ofthing is hard to avoid once the media hasdescended, all steamrollers and satellitevans, onto campus. The beckon of a grand-stand is often hard to resist. But deepdown, we all know that you can’t use thelaw to stop abstract mean-ness. You can’tlegislate away bullying. Even if you could,you wouldn’t want to. You just end up sti-fling discourse and dissent in an educa-tional environment that is supposed to nur-ture both. Remember that the next timeyou’re staring down the barrel of areporter’s microphone on College Avenue.
Most of all, we need to know that wearen’t slaves to the diametric media narra-tives being crafted right now in the theater ofthe modern weekly news cycle. Pride andspirit are magically intangible commodities,but they are the only means of currencyavailable to a school’s crestfallen students.The fluid nature of something like pride isactually a blessing: you can pick and choose,you can say you support the institution butnot the leadership, the team but not its coachor the coach but not the coach’s decisions.
Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t.

Sophomore midfielder JosephNardella could be Rutgers’ way ofdoing so.
The face-off specialist playedwell against Villanova, as he won17 of 24 possible face-offs againstthe Wildcats.
Nardella has taken themajority of the face-of fs for theKnights and wins about 66 percent of them. Princetonwins just less than half of itsface-of fs, which may giveRutgers the chance to reallycontrol the tempo and pace ofthe game.
“[I’m] very confident with[freshman goalkeeper] Kris[Alleyne] and Joe to keep us inever y game with how wellthey’ve been playing all year,”Brecht said. “Joe has been oneof the leaders in the nation atwhat he does and with face-of fs being such a tough area tocontrol game-by-game, hope-fully he can stay hot.”
But the Knights might bewithout one of them, as Alleynemay not be able to play.
Alleyne has started everygame so far this season, but leftSaturday’s game againstVillanova with an undisclosedupper-body injury. He will be agame-time decision, but Brechtis optimistic about his statusfor the game.

“With a guy like Kris, youknow you have a guy who canmake multiple stops and gener-ate offense on the counter-attack,” Brecht said. “The teamdoctors are very optimistic aboutKris and I was excited to hear thegood news after practice.”
Rutgers has several capablescorers to compensate for Alleyne’sabsence between the pipes.
Junior attack Scott Klimchakkeys the offense, leading theteam in goals scored.
Scott’s twin brother, juniormidfielder Matt Klimchak,
had his best game of the season against Villanova with ahat trick.
Junior attack NickDePaolera has been the mainfacilitator of the of fensiveattack for Rutgers and leadsthe team in assists.
“This is the kind of gamethat you imagine when you area little kid just learning how toplay the game, and I believethis game will be exactly whatwe signed up for,” Brecht saidof playing against a top-10 rivalat home.

with just a 4-3 win against St.Joseph’s during that span.
Rutgers learned its lessonagainst an inferior team a fewweeks ago thanks to a 9-3 loss toRider in Lawrenceville, N.J., andit knows losing games liketoday’s does nothing to help.
Hill said Sunday juniorrighthander Slater McCue willget the nod for his fourth start ofthe season.
McCue, who was the losingpitcher against the Broncs, onlylasted three and a third innings in
his last startagainst Columbia.He allowed fourruns in that out-ing, but Rutgershad one of itsmost productiveoffensive outingsof the season inwhat turned into a16-6 victory.
The offensemust be the
emphasis today, and the Knights’track record suggests they arecapable of coming through ifMcCue struggles.
But Rutgers will have to pro-duce more than two hits if itwants to pick up the win.
“We just have to stay focused,and we have to play our bestevery game,” O’Grady said.“We’re a very good team whenwe play like we can, but if wedon’t play like we can, we canlose any game.”

Junior centerfielder BrianO’Grady was also a little per-plexed at Terhune’s effective-ness, as he sports a 2-2 recordwith a 2.65 ERA.
“Personally, I was a little out infront to start,” O’Grady said. “Idon’t know what made him soeffective really. He was mixing itup pretty well. I don’t know — hejust did a good job I guess.”
For Rutgers (14-14, 6-3), theseries loss was its first to a BigEast opponent thisseason. TheKnights droppedthe first gameagainst the Pirates,15-1, behind seniorlefthander RobSmorol’s worst out-ing of the seasonand a lack of offen-sive production.
Rutgers’ per-formance in thesecond game prevented thesweep, and O’Grady believesthe series loss is not as bad asit seems — the Knights cur-rently sit in third place in theBig East thanks to their 6-3conference record.
“I think we’ll be fine,” O’Gradysaid. “We have to learn from thisand play better than we havebefore. You never like to lose, butsometimes you can learn from itand I think we will.”

The Scarlet Knights (11-7, 5-2)competed well in matchesagainst the Orange (10-7, 6-1),but it was not enough for the win.

As sophomore leftfielderChandler Howard drifted backto the warning track Saturdayat the RU Softball Complex, itspelled trouble for the Rutgerssoftball team.
A ball off the bat ofGeorgetown shortstopAlexandria Anttila in the top ofthe seventh inning landed justout of the reach of Howard’s out-stretched glove over the wall togive the Hoyas a 12-11 lead forthe eventual win.
In a seesaw battle that sawthe Scarlet Knights come allthe way back from a 7-1 secondinning deficit to take the leadin the fifth, Anttila’s two-runblast provided Rutgers thisseason with arguably its mostdeflating moment.
Though the Knights’ aggres-sive approach at the plate neverwavered — even when staring ina huge hole — it was not enoughto win.
The true testament toRutgers’ mental toughness wasunveiled in how the Knights sub-sequently won the next twogames of the series.
“It was a tough loss for us thefirst game,” said junior first base-man Alexis Durando. “Wecould’ve easily just laid down anddied, but we don’t say quit — wenever say die on this team.”
For many teams, bad lossesleads to a bad stretch — but notthe Knights.
They gathered themselvesand grinded out two key confer-ence wins — much like they didMarch 29-30 against Connecticut.
“It talks to the resiliency ofthis team,” said head coach JayNelson. “They got in theirmind that we’re in the BigEast. We were talking to themafterwards — a normal team ornormal person rolls over andplays dead.”
Nelson also took the blame fora managerial miscue that mayhave cost Rutgers in the top ofthe seventh inning in Game 1.

The biggest adjustment forRutgers came with sophomoreHyung Mo Kim’s return to thelineup. After sitting out of theteam’s first two tournamentsbecause of a violation of teamrules, he tied for 64th at theWhiting Turner TowsonInvitational with a 159 individ-ual score.
Although Kim’s execution onthe course surprised Shutte, thesecond-year coach felt Kim’spresence gave the Knights aboost and provided some muchneeded momentum this seasonthe squad was searching for.
“Mo is the kind of player thatgives us a good chance to playour best,” Shutte said. “He isgoing to go out and give us thosenumbers. He is a very good driv-er on the golf ball and a consis-tent line player. He is just an all-around solid player.”
The more than two-weekintermission before its trip to
GOLF KNIGHTS NEXT PLAY APRIL 20 IN RUTHERFORD INVITATIONAL
Layoff gives RU time to practice
Pennsylvania on April 20 for theRutherford Invitational givesRutgers the opportunity to polishits game. It may very well be achance for senior John Fagan toregain his swing.
“The reality is the game thatwe play can be really hard some-times,” Shutte said. “With golf,you are just out there by your-self. In our sport, a little bit of aswing change, a little bit of swingpattern can mean a really goodthing or really bad thing.”
Shutte has been assisting atthe 2013 Masters GolfTournament for a few days inAtlanta, but has monitored theKnights through their routines.
Rutgers returned to its 7a.m. strength and conditioningprocedures, which include mile
runs and swinging sessions.Because of the week’s favor-able weather, it is likely theKnights will get repetitions out-doors instead of the simulatedcourses indoors.
With the end of the season insight, the team realizes how cru-cial the mental aspect of the gameis this deep into the year.
The last thing Shutte hopes tosee is a lack of focus.
“It is just a demanding game,”Shutte said. “As golfers, especial-ly when all these guys haveplayed golf at a really high level attimes, that certainly makes itmore difficult and frustratingwhen things are not going as wellbecause you know the abilitiesare there. You just have to besharp at all times.”
Senior John Fagan will have time to work on his game duringRutgers’ two-week break before the Rutherford Invitational.JOEY GREGORY, SEPTEMBER 2012
Dresden Maddox with seniorrighthander Abbey Houston,Nelson opted against it. He didnot want Georgetown to see hiseventual starting pitcher for thenext game.
The Hoyas made him pay, asMaddox hit the leadoff batter toput Nelson in a bind.
“I had it in my mind if we gotthe first kid [Antilla] out to walk[then we could] put the tying runon,” Nelson said. “Unfortunatelythe No. 3 hitter comes up andsticks her hands out over theplate and gets hit, and they giveher the base. So … the kid thathits all the homeruns — what arewe going to do? We can’t walkher now.”
The outcome may have beendifferent had Rutgers simplybeen able to work around Anttila,but that meant little to theKnights, who have never beenabout excuses.
They refuse to let outside dis-tractions or squandered opportu-nities dampen their future.
“We have an incredibleamount of focus,” said sopho-more lefthander AlyssaLandrith. “I am so impressedwith them — their hitting, andjust not giving up no matterthe circumstance.”
Nelson’s decision to hold offon Houston until Game 2 of theseries ultimately paid dividends,as the righthander kept theHoyas in check for four and one-third innings.
Durando belted a grand slamin the bottom of the third, and theKnights never looked back.
Rutgers never trailed again inthe series — seizing two mar-quee wins to thrust into sole pos-session of fifth place in the BigEast standings.
As the Knights continue theirconference schedule, a crushedball over the left field wall ontheir home turf may very wellhave served as the turning pointof their season.

WOMEN’S LACROSSE NO. 5 SYRACUSE 10, RUTGERS 8
BY IAN ERHARDSTAFF WRITER
With 10 minutes remaining inthe second period Sunday, headcoach Laura Brand-Sias wasforced to call a timeout.
She watched as the Rutgerswomen’s lacrosse teamallowed two straight goals tosurrender its second-half leadagainst No. 5 Syracuse.
With the game tied, 8-8, itwas a crucial finish for theScarlet Knights, who had yet towin their first conference gameafter suffering an 8-7 loss Fridayto Connecticut.

No. 5 Orange survive upset bid in final minutesA Syracuse free position
attempt left senior goalkeeperLily Kalata far behind her ownnet — which allowed attackKayla Treanor to score and bringthe Orange within one goal.
Trendell had an opportunity totie the game on a free positionshot before halftime, but Syracusegoalkeeper Kelsey Richardsonslowed the shot down enough forit to lie still on the goal line.
Trendell began its offensivesurge less than two minutes intothe game — before the Orangestrung together three consecu-tive goals to take a 3-1 lead.
Rutgers was overmatched indraw controls, winning only 3 outof 20.
“Knowing that we weren’t get-ting the draw, we had to be a littlebit more impatient on the attackand give up some opportunitiesthat we would normally have,”Brand-Sias said.
The Knights’ inability to gainpossession off the draw was thedifference late, as it allowedSyracuse to score four straightgoals and secure the ball once itacquired the lead.
An unforced Knights turnoverended an attempt to even the gamewith less than one minute left.
Freshman attack HalleyBarnes — who scored in twogoals in the effort and three onthe weekend — received a freeposition attempt with three sec-onds remaining, but could not puta shot on net.
Rutgers tied the game on twooccasions in the second period.The first goal was from Barnes totie it at 6, and McGinley followedwith a goal midway through thesecond period to draw even atseven apiece.
But the Knights were unableto garner enough offense to sup-port a solid defensive effort.
“Personally, I think that it wasthe defense who stepped up,”McGinley said. “The offense didn’t
really change how we played thewhole game.”
The Knights failed to converton several scoring chances,including free position shots thatdid not make it on net.
Despite 29 shots attemptsagainst UConn (9-1, 2-1) — morethan double the Huskies’ 13 —Rutgers only found the back ofthe net seven times.
“Our shooting was horren-dous,” said Brand-Sias. “Theoffense wasn’t doing what theyneeded to do to get the ball in the net. … You’re nevergoing to win a game with 25percent shooting.”
Brand-Sias noted that thedefense still gave the Knights anopportunity to get the victory.
Kalata made only threesaves — none in the secondperiod — as the Huskies strug-gled to get the ball on goal.UConn only managed fourshots in the second half.
The majority of UConn’sgoals came early in the first peri-od. The Huskies strung togetherfour unanswered goals to take a5-1 lead midway through theopening half.
“We thought to ourselves, ‘wecan’t let any more in,’” said juniordefender Hollie DiMuro. “Oncewe came together, I think we dida great job of keeping the ball outof the net.”
Goals by Barnes and fresh-man attack Kim Kolodny broughtthe lead to within two.
In the final five minutes of thefirst period, junior midfielder andRutgers’ leading scorer, juniormidfielder Katrina Martinelli,scored twice to make it a 6-5game at halftime.
Both goals came during heavycontact by UConn defenders asMartinelli struggled to drive tothe net.
“This is one of the tough ones,because we could’ve won. Weshould’ve won,” DiMuro said.

following the timeout to putSyracuse back in front.
Heavy defensive pressure bythe Orange (7-3, 3-0) left Rutgers(8-4, 0-3) with little chance todraw even. Syracuse was able tomaintain possession with causedturnovers and put the game awaywith another goal.
The 10-8 defeat marked theKnights’ third straight Big Eastloss and second straight at home.
But Brand-Sias said there wasfight in the team until the very end.
“There was never a momentwhere they had anything in theirminds that the game wasn’t in ourhands and we didn’t have the abil-ity to win,” she said. “It kind ofseems to be our M.O. that when
we play someone highly ranked,we really get up for the game andcompete for the full 60 minutes.”
With five goals in the first 13minutes of the second half, itlooked as if the Knights wereready to take control of the game.
Senior attack Annie McGinleygave the Knights an 8-6 advan-tage after junior attack MeganClements and midfielder AmandaTrendell scored in a span of lessthan one minute to give Rutgersits first lead of the game.
But the offense was heldscoreless for the final 17 minutesof regulation.
The action went back andforth early in the second period,as both teams fired on offense.
The Scarlet Knights (2-9, 0-4) have losttheir last three games by a total of four goals, with each of those gamesdecided in the final minute of regulationor overtime.
Rutgers’ level of play in recent weeks hasimproved as it has taken two of the Big East’stop teams to the final minutes.
Princeton (6-3, 2-1) is coming off a lossSaturday against Syracuse, 13-12. TheTigers lead the all-time series against
Rutgers, 58-29-3, in a rivalry that datesback to 1922.
Defensively the Knights will have to per-form better than usual, as Princeton’s offenseranks among the best in the nation. TheTigers rank fifth in assists per game andeighth in goals per game.
The Knights may be able to counterPrinceton’s attack if it can control face-offs.

After Sunday’s 5-3 loss to Seton Hall,Rutgers head baseball coach Fred Hill couldnot quite put a finger on what his team need-ed to take out of its performance.
But then he got hold of the stat sheet.“I don’t know, to be honest with you,” Hill
said. “I guess we have to start swinging thebats better. If we swing the bats better withthe defense we are presently playing and thepitching we’re getting, we’ll be alright.”
The Scarlet Knights produced just twohits against the Pirates on Sunday, includ-ing only one in the first seven innings ofthe game.
That can be credited to Seton Hall left-hander Greg Terhune, who went seven andone-third innings without allowing theKnights in the hit column.
It was not as if Rutgers was unable tomake contact against Terhune, who only hadfour strikeouts during his stint on the hill.
Sophomore outfielder Vinny Zarrillo saidafter the game Terhune kept Rutgers battersoff-balance with his curveball, but otherwisethe Knights were able to make contactagainst the lefthander.
