Alex Carmenaty spoke with Rutgers women's rowing's Hannah Heideveld to preview the team's 2023 season, which begins on Saturday down in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. An All-American and U23 World Rowing Champion, Heideveld led Rutgers to successful strides in 2022, where the Scarlet Knights won 6 medals at the Big Ten Championships and placed 13th overall at the NCAA Championships, winning two separate semifinals races. Heideveld and company look to carry last season's success into a new year, where more is expected of the program.

Alex Carmenaty also talked with Rutgers baseball pitchers Jake Marshall and Ben Gorski. Both upperclassmen threw a combined no-hitter at Georgia Southern on March 11, the first no-hitter in the program's history since 1978. The Scarlet Knights won 6 out of 7 against three teams on their recent road trip to Georgia, where Marshall and Gorski helped close out two winning series. Rutgers continues its path at home this week, and travels to UConn this upcoming weekend.

The Roundtable also reviewed Rutgers men's lacrosse's recent two wins against Princeton and UMass, where the Scarlet Knights beat Princeton 14-13 at home in overtime, and UMass 11-5 up in Massachusetts. Dante Kulas led the way with 6 goals in these two games. Rutgers currently ranks number six in the nation and begins Big Ten play this Sunday at Ohio State.

Christian Vazquez to close the show talked one on one with Rutgers Gymnastics' Hannah Joyner. Joyner, along with teammates Emily Leese and Stephanie Zannella have qualified for the upcoming NCAA Championships.

Show notes

This week, the Roundtable recapped Rutgers women's basketball's performance in this year's Big Ten Women's Basketball Tournament. In Minnesota, the Scarlet Knights downed Northwestern in round one, but fell short in round two against the Illinois Fighting Illini. As Rutgers won six Big Ten games all season long, this year's campaign has mostly likely come to a close.

Our hosts: Alex Carmenaty and Christian Vazquez break down all the numbers from the entire season, as well as the postseason stats standouts like Kaylene Smikle, Chyna Cornwell, Awa Sidibe and many others put up during the run.

Christian Vazquez later on recapped Rutgers Wrestling's performance in the Big Ten Wrestling Tournament this past weekend out in Michigan. Vazquez talked one on one with WRSU FM New Brunswick Wrestling Analyst Max Sanchez. As Sanchez was in Michigan for the tournament, he dove into the top performances from individual wrestlers on the team, as well as how the entire program competed in this stage of the postseason. Rutgers Wrestling now moves onto the National Championships in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which will happen from March 16-18.

Alex Carmenaty to end the show chatted with Rutgers men's lacrosse attackman Brian Cameron. A fifth-year senior with 17 goals and 24 points in the first six games of the season, Cameron has been standing out for a team that has won three straight games at home against the likes of Loyola Maryland, St. John's and Utah. Cameron and company play in-state rival Princeton this weekend at SHI Stadium, where Brian will face off against his younger brother Sean for potentially the last time in the sport of lacrosse. The Scarlet Knights look to win four-straight against a team Rutgers lost to last season by five goals.

With five impressive conference wins while having an eight-player roster under first year Head Coach Coquese Washington, the Scarlet Knights look to make a run in Minnesota, where the tournament is located.

Alex Carmenaty also talked with WRSU FM New Brunswick Sports Announcer Alec Crouthamel, who will be covering the team out in Minnesota. Alec gave his perspective on the program's season and what to expect when the tournament begins.

To end the show, Alex Carmenaty and Christian Vazquez profiled Kaylene Smikle, who broke out as a freshman phenom for the team. Smikle averaged 17.5 points per game during the regular season, while being named Big Ten Freshman of the week four separate times.

Smikle was also named to the All-Big Ten Freshman and Second All-Big Ten Team teams, the first player in Rutgers history to receive both recognitions in one season. The Farmingdale, New York native has come on the season quickly for Rutgers and looks to carry her success into the postseason for a Rutgers team making strides with its new freshman star.
