Two years ago, the Rutgers men's lacrosse team finished 5-10. Half of those losses were to ranked opponents.
"I am proud of how this group competed and fought ... against top-10 and top-20 programs,'' Rutgers coach Brian Brecht said at the end of the season.
Monday, his Rutgers men's lacrosse team ranks No. 1 in the country.
Thanks to its best start in six decades, Rutgers stands atop the Inside Lacrosse Media poll. The Scarlet Knights' 8-0 record is the best to open a season since 1955.
