Rutgers field hockey (1-0) opened their 2018 season with a 3-0 win over the University of Richmond (0-2) Sunday afternoon. This was their first shutout victory in a season opener since 2004 when Bobbi Jo Adams scored the only goal in a win over Georgetown almost exactly 14 years ago.
The first half was scoreless with the Scarlet Knights outshooting the Spiders 11-1. They found their groove as the game went on and despite not scoring, they did just about everything else right.
Rutgers failed to score on any of their three corners in the first half.
