Welcome to episode No. 127 of the On The Banks podcast. This week’s guest is Rutgers women’s lacrosse head coach Melissa Lehman.
After a breakthrough 2021 season in which she led the program to its first ever NCAA Tournament win, coach Lehman is back to discuss this season’s team ahead of Saturday’s opener at Delaware. The Scarlet Knights were picked to finish in third place out of seven teams in the Big Ten preseason coaches poll and are ranked No. 16 and No. 17 in the national preseason polls.
With stars TT Naslonski, Cassidy Spilis and Meghan Ball returning along with 10 starters overall, expectations are high for the Scarlet Knights.
