Last year, when I first came to Seton Hall, one of the things I noticed was the separation between the university and the village. The only reason I might have suspected South Orange was a "college town" at all was from the "Welcome to South Orange, Home of Seton Hall University" sign at the train station.

All it took was one moment midway through the first half, a free kick from Princeton defender Josh Walburn that seemed to deflect off a Seton Hall defender and freeze Pirates keeper Paul McHenry in the net.When the game went final, that momentary lapse by the Hall's defense led to a second straight loss to an in-state opponent at the season's start.Seton Hall fell to Princeton, 3-2, on Monday night at Owen T. Carroll Field. It was the team's first regular season home game after starting its year 1-1 the prior week.Junior Steven Rose picked up a pair of goals in the loss, the first of which came on a corner kick assist by junior Brayan Martinez. All of the goals scored by both teams came in the first half."As much as we hate to lose, we want to acknowledge the good things," head coach Manny Schellscheidt said. "(Rose) was very good and had an excellent game besides the goals."Rose's initial score at the 10:14 mark was followed only two minutes later by the Tigers, when midfielder Antoine Hoppenot used a burst of speed to break past the Hall's defense. Walburn put Princeton ahead for the first time around the 23 minute mark with an unassisted score.But Seton Hall answered back, this time with Rose drawing the team even through a penalty kick. The tie would last less than two minutes of regulation play.Walburn's second goal placed the Tigers back in the lead."It was definitely a tense game," Rose said. "Every team is fighting for a win. They are fighting for every inch."While running out of time in the second half, the Hall tried to draw an offensive spark by substituting junior Sam Petrone into the match. The junior forward only mustered one shot, not on goal, in his 36 minutes of play.Martinez, usually a catalyst for the Pirates' attack, had a quiet performance outside of his assist as well. Both his shots in the game failed to challenge Tigers keeper Sean Lynch.The Pirates outshot Princeton 16-11 and held a 7-4 edge in corner kicks. Yet the Tigers seemed to dictate the game's pace in the final minutes. They cleared out the ball into Seton Hall's end of the field several times to kill the half's remaining time."Because of the few defensive plays in the second half, our legs were tired," Schellscheidt said. The Pirates defeated Penn on Sept. 4, 3-2.However, they lost their season opener to Monmouth by a 1-0 score on Sept. 1."We need to keep our heads up and prepare for (Virginia Commonwealth)," Schellscheidt said. "Games come so quick that we don't have time to dwell."Seton Hall will host the Rams at Owen T. Carroll Field on Friday night. Game time is at 7 p.m. Afterwards, the team hits the road. The Pirates do not return home until Sept. 25., when they face the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in the heart of Big East play.Virginia Commonwealth is 2-0 in the regular season after defeating St. Francis (NY) and Albany in the Coastal Carolina Tournament. The Rams also played to a scoreless tie with Duke and only lost to No. 2 North Carolina by a single goal in exhibition play.Brian Wisowaty can be reached at brian.wisowaty@student.shu.edu.
For years students utilized SHU500 to quickly fulfill service requirements and dedicate a day to service. This year, SHU500 is being replaced with Service On Saturdays (SOS) in an effort to better serve the community and students.SOS will take place over four Saturdays instead of the one day of service. Student may sign up for one of the four days. Each site can host anywhere from 20-200 students and each day will last from about 9 a.m. to 2 p.m."Discussions on how to enhance SHU500 began quite a few years ago," Michelle Sheridan, the director for the Division of Volunteer Efforts said. "Our numbers were increasing and we wanted to give our students a hands on and personal experience in service."Focus groups were established two years ago and last spring semester to examine student feedback on how the DOVE program was going."Out of that focus group we decided that this was something to try to make a more sustainable impact on the community by being present at these sights, four times rather than one time, to give our students a real, solid connection with our sites," Sheridan said."It's less numbers of students and easier for them to interact with the sites they will be working at."A small number of students means that participants will be able to do more personal work and make more lasting connections on sites. Some of the hands on activities, such as landscaping and painting, will be at the earlier SOS dates, while the November dates stick to indoor sites as an adjustment to the weather. Jill Matthews, the director of Media Relations, has worked closely in the past with SHU500."These changes really reflect what the students were asking for, they wanted a more meaningful experience a time where they could really work closely with the organization that they're serving," Matthews said. Matthews pointed out that there once was a cap on the number of students with SHU500 only serving 750 students. SOS will be able to serve about 1,200 students. Junior Matthew DiCarlo has been involved with DOVE for three years now, and has attended the past two SHU500s. "Having service opportunities on four different days should be more flexible and accommodating than one giant event," DiCarlo said. "It should be less confusing and hectic than SHU500. Not to say SHU500 wasn't great; having attended the past two years I can say the experiences have been worthwhile and provided as a great way to work with fellow classmates."Thomas Russamanno, the assistant director of DOVE, said that each site will be slightly different. "Some sites will be repeats from years past, not necessarily last year's SHU500," Russamanno said."There are a significant amount of new sites. We want to build a relationship between Seton Hall and places we haven't volunteered at before."Brochures will be given out to all participants that tell the student who they are serving, the history of the site, what their service means to New Jersey or the community, and extra space to write out a reflection.Jenny Zmirski, a student on Education Committee for SOS, said that her committee is in charge of putting together the brochures and coordinating the student leaders. She said that the committee is looking for about 20 students to act as leaders."I like the fact that it's a consistency with the service, where we're not focusing on service just for a day because it shouldn't be something we do every once in a while," Zmirski said. "We want to get the students visible to the university community so that they know that we're here to serve to enhance the community and make a sustainable impact on the site we're serving," Sheridan said. Students may sign up now for SOS dates on Sept. 26 and Oct. 24 dates. Registration for the Nov. 7 and 21 begins on Oct. 12. Students who are interested in becoming team leaders must attend the information session at 9 p.m. tonight in the Faculty Lounge.Stephanie Bower can be reached at stephanie bower@student.shu.edu.
