On a cloudy, cool day in Baltimore, the Scarlet Knights needed big games from Ross Scott and Shane Knobloch to pull out the victory against the Greyhounds. Scott tallied 4 goals and Knobloch 3, along with 2 each by Mitch Bartolo and Ronan Jacoby. Rutgers improved to a nation-leading 5-0 on the young season with their 2nd consecutive ranked victory and first ever win at Loyola. The Knights had last defeated Loyola in 2007, a home victory.
The Greyhounds held leads of 2-0 and 4-2 in the 1st quarter but the Knights battled back each time, with Bartolo scoring with a little over a minute left to even things up at 4 apiece heading into the 2nd quarter.
