On a soggy Thursday night at Yurcak field with frequent rain showers, Rutgers (12-1-2, 4-1-2) found themselves in a hard-fought match with Big Ten foe Minnesota (6-7-2, 2-4-1) . The Knights would take leads of 1-nil and 2-1 with Minnesota having an answer each time. The teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw, with each one being awarded a point earned in conference play.
As the regular season winds down, Minnesota is desperate for points, currently tied for the 8th and final Big Ten tourney slot with Illinois. Teams not in the top eight when the season concludes do not qualify for the conference postseason tourney.
