That's crazy they're ranked 16th but they're the 6th seed in the conference.

Does RU need a win to make the tourney or can they get in at 10-8 ... the PSU loss hurt.

PSU loss did hurt. Out shot & out cornered PSU but couldn't get the win. Really lost opportunity.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I think we need 1 maybe now.

 

[bigmatt718]

Win and I think RU is in, lose and RU is sweating.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Down 3-1 late. That Penn State game is gonna haunt us as well as a couple early on before the team got rolling.

 

[RUTrack94]

Worst case scenario is a winning season and .500 in conference ... hopefully the team gets a bid!

So it's Iowa vs PSU in the B1G Champ. PSU helped out SOS and now the loss isn't as painful after beating Michigan and Maryland. Princeton won the Ivy which helps our cause, but Harvard might get an at large. Need Monmouth to win the AE over Stanford, UConn to win the BE, UDel to win CAA over Northeastern. Since Michigan lost in the first round to PSU, we might be the last team in over them due to our win over them.

 

[RUTrack94]

It’s official .... Michigan in ... RU on the outside. PSU loss probably kept them out.

Congrats on a winning season, and looking forward to next year!

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Damn. Solid season. Hopefully plenty coming back next year??!!

 

[bigmatt718]

RU was definitely first out. Come back strong next year.

New Jersey is currently home to the #1 high school FH team in the nation and the #2 high school FH team in the nation (Oak Knoll and Voorhees Eastern).

It is time for Rutgers to recruit more of these players and win Big Ten tournaments.

Congrats to the team and hopefully next year is more successful.

I’m pretty damn sure we have been “recruiting” these girls. Just need to start SIGNING more of them.
