A national contender at Rutgers? Get to know the No. 8-ranked Scarlet Knights lacrosse team

One year after losing in the Big Ten Tournament championship game and then getting snubbed from the NCAA Tournament, the Rutgers men's lacrosse team appears motivated to avenge both disappointments.

For the second straight season, the Scarlet Knights have started off 5-0. But unlike a year ago when coach Brian Brecht’s squad caught everyone by surprise, the Scarlet Knights are suddenly considered among the nation’s elite teams.

“We’re undefeated right now and that’s huge for us,’’ freshman attack Kieran Mullins said following the Scarlet Knights’ 13-11 win over No. 19 Brown on Saturday, via RVision.
