With history on the line, the Rutgers women’s lacrosse team rose to the occasion to win its first ever NCAA Tournament game on Friday afternoon. The No. 16 Scarlet Knights defeated No. 10 Drexel 16-13 in the first round behind four goals apiece from senior captains TT Naslonski and Hannah Hollingsworth. It was also the highest ranked win for the program since beating No. 7 Princeton in 2010.
“This team is so excited for what we were able to accomplish today,” said head coach Melissa Lehman, who led Rutgers to its historic victory in just her second year with the program.
