Rutgers encountered little resistance from Hofstra.
It won't be like that going forward. Not anywhere close.
The No. 16 Scarlet Knights dive headfirst into what coach Scott Goodale calls "the toughest part of the season" Sunday when they wrestle at No. 18 Nebraska. It's the start of a six-match run against fellow ranked Big Ten opponents, with four dual meets on the road.
Rutgers will also face No. 1 Penn State, No. 13 Minnesota, No. 14 Illinois, No. 20 Northwestern and No. 21 Wisconsin during the stretch before closing out the dual meet season at in-state rival Princeton.
