LAST TIME OUT
Rutgers women’s soccer (2-1-1) withstood a 103-minute weather delay to finish off a 3-0 victory over Lehigh (1-2-0) on Wednesday evening at Yurcak Field.
Three young Scarlet Knights picked up their first collegiate points in the victory. Redshirt freshman midfielder Gabriela Gil grabbed the game-winner in just the 5th minute for her first collegiate goal. Freshman Mikayla Mandleur picked up her first assist on the second goal of the game, scored by Allie Post in the 36th minute.
Post then fed a one-time ball to freshman Shaela Bradley, who banked her first assist on a dish to Riley Tiernan’s goal in the 67th minute following the weather delay to seal the 3-0 score.
LOOKING FOR MORE IN 2024
Last season, the Scarlet Knights continued a longstanding tradition of NCAA Championships soccer, making the bracket for the 12th year in a row, 14th time in the last 16 years, and 18th time overall after a 9-win regular season campaign. RU placed four on the 2023 All-Big Ten awards. Then-juniors Riley Tiernan and Emily Mason earned All-Big Ten Second Team, with Mason earning All-Region Second Team and Tiernan grabbing All-Region Third Team honors. Rutgers finished the regular season unbeaten in five of its final six, rising to No. 37 in the RPI rankings. Their results were highlighted by three shutout victories over NCAA RPI Top 50 teams, including No. 34 Ohio State on the road, No. 42 Providence, and No. 50 Michigan.
“We’ve been focusing on our relationships and making sure we’re all on the same page before the season starts,” Tiernan said. “We know what we’re chasing. It’s important to remember that throughout the season as things get challenging. We’ll be reminding ourselves why we’re working so hard and why we’re working for each other.”
