No. 9 Rutgers women’s soccer earned an important road victory on Thursday night in defeating Minnesota (5-3-3; 1-3-0) by the final score of 2-1. The three points maintains a perfect start to Big Ten play as the Scarlet Knights are the only team in the conference to win their first three games in league play. They sit tied with Purdue atop the Big Ten standings with 9 points, but the Boilermakers have one loss having played one more game than RU.
All-American Frankie Tagliaferri scored in the 9th minute of the game off a pass from fellow All-American Amirah Ali.
