The Rutgers women’s basketball team soared into the new year with the program’s biggest win in a decade and continued its strong play over the past weekend. After shocking #4 ranked Maryland on the road on New Year’s Eve by the final score of 73-65, the Scarlet Knights dispatched Brown and Penn State to extend its winning streak to six games. Defense has been the cornerstone for their success, as they have held every opponent below their season scoring average. Here is how they won and what’s next for C. Vivian Stringer’s team.
