Men's Soccer takes 1-0 lead over OSU
- Thread starter ClassOf02
- Start date
First time I've seen the team play this year - I watched most of the 2nd half. Wright is a very talented player! Nice to see RUTGERS in first place in the B1G this late in the season!
Rutgers is in first place in Men's Soccer. If we beat Maryland next Wednesday, and OSU goes anything besides 2-0-0 in their final 2 games, we win the Big Ten regular season and our first B1G championship!
OSU plays a little douchey. They didn't like the fact that they were losing to us that's for sure.
^ Wright got under their skin towards the end. They couldn't take the ball away from him. One guy blatantly clipped his cleat. This win gives us a legit shot to get into the tourney. We had a weak out of conference schedule, so playing well in conference was very important.
Nice win. OSU had opportunities to score as well but we held them off. On to Maryland. We probably need no less than a tie in that one to have a shot at finishing in first since both OSU and UMD have two more conference games including one against each other. If UMD beats us and OSU then they would win the regular season title.
Wright may end up player of the year! Coach Dan Donigan is doing a great job in both coaching and recruiting for Rutgers.
Took a little longer than I thought it would for Donigan but I am impressed with this crop of players. They are playing an exciting style of soccer that should keep attracting top drawer talent. Future looks bright!!
Believe it or not, Northwestern is still in the mix. If they win their last two, they would get the nod over Maryland even if Maryland also wins its last two (they'd be tied, and Maryland's loss is to Northwestern).
That was a great game today. The Ohio Staters did seem to lose their composure at the end.
In my book (and I'm not a Rutgers guy), Jason is hands-down the B1G POY.
Terrific win and congrats to the men's soccer team!!
Hopefully they'll be able to keep things rolling, but no matter what, today's "W" was SWEET!
