Coming off their first #1 ranking in program history, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights are off to an 8-0 start and have set the lacrosse world on fire.

Lets take a deeper look at why Rutgers has had so much success this season.
Schedule: One of the biggest knocks against the Scarlet Knights last season was their weak non-conference schedule, and while the schedule did not change too much, the teams on the schedule are much improved.
