The Scarlet Knights finally returned home after playing three consecutive road games and four of five overall away from the friendly confines of Shi Stadium. The tough stretch included games against top 20 teams Army, Loyola, and Princeton, as well as a difficult road match against Stony Brook, who sits just outside the top 20.
On a beautiful, warm, sunny spring day in Piscataway, the Knights welcomed the Leopards of Lafayette. Yes, that Lafayette, from Easton, PA. The name that inspires so much angst among RU hoops fans. The college that almost single-handedly crushed the Rutgers men’s basketball team’s NCAA tourney chances looked to do damage to the men’s lacrosse resume.
