No. 7 Rutgers men’s lacrosse escapes Ann Arbor with a 13-12 win over Michigan

On a chilly day at sun-splashed U-M Lacrosse Stadium in Ann Arbor, the Scarlet Knights controlled the match for nearly three quarters before the Wolverines stormed back and tied the game up 11-apiece in the fourth. Ronan Jacoby would score the Knights’s final and 13th goal with 3:44 left in the game and a tired, over-worked Rutgers defense and goalie Colin Kirst would hold off a final, furious onslaught of shots by Michigan to come out the victors.

With the victory, Rutgers tied their all-time program record for wins in a season with 11. The Knights are now 11-2 overall and 3-1 in the Big Ten conference and have locked up a first round bye in the conference championship, regardless of what happens against Penn Sate next Saturday in the final regular season finale.
