A year removed from the program’s first ever NCAA Tournament win last Spring, the Rutgers women’s lacrosse team is off to a 3-0 start this season and moved up three spots to No. 14 in this week’s IWLCA poll.
This past weekend, the Scarlet Knights defeated Georgetown (1-1) in a dramatic come from behind fashion to secure a 17-16 victory. RU trailed by four goals at halftime, 14-9 midway through the third period and 15-12 with just under 13 minutes left in the game. They closed out the contest with an 5-1 scoring run as Preseason All-American Cassidy Spilis scored back to back goals to seal the win.
