After finishing in second place in the Big Ten for a second consecutive season and making the NCAA Tournament as a four seed, the program’s eighth straight appearance, the no. 15 Rutgers women’s soccer team suffered an upset loss at home on Friday night to CCSU. It was scoreless until the very end in the 88th minute when Erica Bardes sent a cross from the left side of the box that went in the top right corner of the net for the game winning goal.
Rutgers dominated the game, holding a 18-6 shot advantage and a 11-2 edge with shots on goal, as well as a 10-1 advantage in corner kicks.
