After finishing in second place in the regular season of Big Ten play, the postseason begins this weekend for the Rutgers women’s soccer team. While the Scarlet Knights fell one win short of the school’s first ever Big Ten title, it was the best finish for the program since joining the conference in 2014. In fact, only the men’s lacrosse team in 2016 has equaled such a high finish in the regular season of the Big Ten standings for any Rutgers athletic program.
Under head coach Mike O’Neill, the Rutgers women’s soccer team (11-2-5; 7-1-3) has become used to success in the postseason.
