Amid a hard-fought and water-logged 2-2 draw between Rutgers and Minnesota (6-7-2, 2-4-1) at Yurcak Field on Thursday night, Scarlet Knights graduate student goalkeeper Meagan McClelland set a new NCAA all-time record for minutes played in the sport.
Riley Tiernan and Allison Lynch scored for Rutgers, Sam Kroeger and Kylie Daigle passed out assists, and McClelland finished the game with 9,032:27 minutes played, the new NCAA career record, passing the 8,998:07 mark set by Virginia’s Laurel Ivory in 2021.
SCOUTING THE BADGERS: Wisconsin is 10-3-2 overall and 5-2 in the Big Ten to stand in third place with 15 points with three match days remaining.

The date at Rutgers will be their third consecutive Big Ten match against a ranked opponent.

She has added four assists to pile up 24 points, again No. 1 in the Big Ten and 11th in the NCAA. Erin McKinney has played every minute in goal with a 1.13 goals-against average, a .798 save percentage, and six shutouts.

This is the second time in the nine-match series that the contest is being played in Piscataway.
