The Historic Season Continues
The No. 2 seed in the 2022 Big Ten Tournament is the highest Rutgers has earned in the Big Ten era.
Friday night’s contest marks the first Big Ten semifinal for Rutgers since 2015, when the Scarlet Knights fell to Ohio State 4-0. That same year, RU advanced to their most recent NCAA Tournament making it to the second round. Rutgers is playing for its first berth in the Big Ten Tournament championship.
Last Time Out
Rutgers advanced from the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals, defeating 7-seed Wisconsin, 5-4, in a penalty shooting following a double-overtime scoreless draw.
Pablo Avila, Thomas DeVizio, MD Myers, Matthew Acosta and Jackson Temple all buried their attempts while goalkeeper Ciaran Dalton made a clutch stop on Wisconsin’s second attempt to send RU to the next round. The Rutgers defense allowed just two shots on target through 120 minutes of action, both of which were turned away by Dalton.
The Awards Go To…
Rutgers pulled in a program-best eight Big Ten All-Conferece Awards in 2022. MD Myers led the pack as the unanimous Big Ten Player of the Year as well as an All-Big Ten First Team selection. Cole Cruthers was selected as the first Co-Freshman of the Year in the Big Ten era, as well as to the All-Freshman Team. This marks the first time in program history the Scarlet Knights have had two major award winners in the same season.
Jason Bouregy and Hugo Le Guennec earned All-Big Ten Second Team honors while Ian Abbey and Ciaran Dalton were also picked to the All-Freshman squad.
