RUTGERS WINS!
RU and UNCW battled back and forth for 3 days, both leading on and off throughout the last 36 holes. Today Rutgers trailing by 1 after 2 Rounds, took the lead on the Back 9 and never gave it back, winning by 3 strokes with a 5 Over 293 while shooting the 2nd best round of the day all 3 days.
This was ther 2nd Team win of the Spring portion of the season
Leigha Devine led RU's surge to the lead with a stretch of 5 Birdies in 7 holes (11-17) and was tied for 1st until an unfortunate Triple on 18, shooting an Even Par 72 and Even for the Tourney, good for 4th Place out of 48 participants who played all 3 rounds. This was her last match as a Scarlet Knight and leaves holding a number of school records. Frosh Lorena Rossettin shot 1 Over and finished Tied for 7th with teammate, Frosh Emily James who shot 74. Junior Lucrezia Rossettin shot 2 Over 74 and finished Tied for 11th. Senior Rikke Nordvik and Fosh Krystal Li alternated the 5th slot with Nordvik shooting 81 today after Li shot 75 yesterday. The play of the Freshmen this weekend may signal good things in the future.
Now no one is going to confuse this with the NCAA's. It's a lot closer to the NIT in Hoops but when you come from where the team was just a year ago, it's a big step in the right direction. Without knowing how much this affects their ranking if at all, but before this weekend they had improved their National Ranking by 28 spots to #85 out of 276 D1 teams since February.

Rutgers has 2 recruits arriving in the Fall. RU loses 2 menbers of the team who have no more eligibility. Depending on what happens with 2 upperclassmen, they may need 1 or 2 transfers to fill out the team this Fall.
