On a chilly sun-splashed Saturday afternoon at Shi Stadium, the Scarlet Knights faced off against their old Big East foe, the Georgetown Hoyas. The Knights entered the match with a record of 2-0, following up a come-from-behind opening season win against a ranked Jacksonville squad by defeating Monmouth 11-5 after trailing 5-4 at halftime.
The Knights would carry that momentum from West Long Branch to Piscataway and blitz the Hoyas in the opening two quarters. RU scored the first three goals of the game, including two by Cassidy Spilis, who finds herself on the Tewaaraton awards watch list for the nation’s best player in women’s D1 lacrosse.
