Stella Johnson from Rider is the real deal. Might be interesting for Rutgers if there is a roster spot to have her as a graduate transfer next year. If anybody lives in the area you should check her out...just amazing..
 
In the B1G standings, Indiana is shown with 2 losses. Which team defeated them prior to last night's loss to NW?

Thanks.
 
If I had to guess, I'd say Iowa, Northwestern, Indiana, Maryland are the top 4 teams in the B10 as of today. I think RU is a competitive 5th. Michigan/Michigan St/Ohio St/Nebraska are all very dangerous. So is Minnesota, even though they have massively underperformed. And given our close games against PSU and Wisconsin, we really can't be taking anyone for granted.

That being said, the B10 schedule is uneven in that you play everyone once, but four teams twice. RU only has to play "my" current top 4 teams once each. (Home vs Indiana and Iowa; at Maryland and Northwestern). Our double games area against Michigan, Michigan State, Illinois, and Penn State...which could be a lot worse.

Maryland by far has the toughest schedule, as their double games are with Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Northwestern.
