No. 3 Rutgers Field Hockey Hosts No. 8 Maryland (Friday) and Columbia (Sunday)
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Glatz stole this one today. Terps outplayed us. Michigan plays Iowa today...if Michigan wins, there's a chance that Michigan vs Rutgers could be 1 vs 2 next week. But first thing's first, need to take care of business vs Columbia on Sunday.
Agreed. Maryland thoroughly dominated Rutgers for basically the last 3 quarters of the game. We could barely get the ball out of our own end, as the Terps were pressing high with at least 5 players and clogging up midfield.
We can thank Glatz and her 13 saves for this win.
I’ll take an ugly win over a blue blood Maryland team any day if the week though. First time we’ve beaten the Terps in the Big Ten.
RU wins 2-0. If not for CU's goalie, we wouldve won at least 6-0.
Wonder if we can get Columbia's goalie in the portal in the offseason. She doesn't belong on that team and we need to replace Glatz.
What FH has done this year is nuts…only losses to #1 and #13…still have to play #2 and #9….
FH is now up to #2 in RPI. Big game this week as the winner of Rutgers-Michigan should end up the 2 seed in the B1G Tourney. RU very likely could end up getting 2 home games for the first 2 rounds of the NCAA Tourney and not have to travel until the Final Four.
This year there is a huge difference between the 2 and 3 seeds in the Big Ten Tourney. With 6 teams in the top ten nationally, the 3rd seed will face a top 10 team in the quarters while the 2nd seed will face a much lower or non ranked opponents. Rutgers facing a possible 6th seed Maryland team that dominated them for most of the game would be a major obstacle to advancing in the Big Ten and getting a top 4 seed nationally.
Agreed. We need to win on Friday. We will handle OSU or Sparty or Indiana in Round 1. I don't want any part of Maryland or NW in a Round 1 matchup in the B1G Tourney.
