PISCATAWAY – The wait Monday morning wasn’t quite as painful for Rutgers men’s soccer coach Dan Donigan as the wait since 2011.
Rutgers earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament and will host LIU-Brooklyn in a first-round game Thursday at Yurcak Field.
The Scarlet Knights are returning to the 48-team field for the first time since 2011, when they made a surprise run to the Sweet 16 in Donigan’s second season at the helm.
“It’s long overdue,” Donigan said. “In my opinion, we’ve underachieved these past couple years, and I’ve been beating myself up over it because these kids have deserved better.
