RU had the #3 ranked Maryland Terripins on the ropes at Highpoint Solutions Stadium on Sunday night. The team took a 4-2 lead ino the half and got it to 6-3 midway through the third before the Maryland attack got going. RU built its lead with tremendous hustle. They got to seemingly every loose ball, and won almost every draw en-route to the big advantage. Rutgers fell behind 1-0 early, but outworked Maryland for much of the first quarter nearly tying the game as the quarter drew to a close. The second quarter belonged to Rutgers as it scored four of the five goals including Christian Trasolini firing home from long range getting Rutgers ahead 2-1.

However, RU responded just 5 seconds later when Joe Nardella scored a highlight real tally going faceoff ‘X’ down the middle to score on a tremendous individual effort.
