Rutgers and Marist matched up for a midweek matinee on a beautiful February day, full of sunshine and a balmy 46 degrees. For the Red Foxes, today was their season debut while the 1-0 Knights come off an impressive 15-6 opening win over LIU.
1st Quarter
Marist opened with a flurry, firing three shots on Kirst at point blank range in the 1st minute but not able to squeak one past the All-American. Senior James Lyons finally opened the scoring for the Red Foxes, sending one past Kirst to put the visitors up 1-nil.
Rutgers evened things up at 8:40 as Ross Scott slipped by his defender, dodged around the net and punched one in.
