The No. 7 Scarlet Knights field hockey team continues to be the best story this fall on the banks, defeating the No. 18 Umass Minutewoman 4-2 on a rainy Sunday in Amherst. With the hard-fought road win, the Knights move to 9-0 on the season, including a perfect 8-0 on the road. With eight remaining matches, the win guarantees a regular winning season for the Scarlet Knights. The Minutewoman drop to 6-4.
Umass quickly took a 1-0 lead in the match, with Mali Haberhold scoring less than a minute into play. This was just the second time this season Rutgers has trailed and the first since a 1-0 deficit against Cal on August 28th in the Golden State.
