After seemingly flying under the radar for most of the 2018 season, the Rutgers women’s soccer team is back in the national spotlight as the regular season enters the homestretch. After a overtime victories against Minnesota, Northwestern, and Illinois in the past three games, the Scarlet Knights (9-1-4; 5-0-2) are now alone in first place in the Big Ten standings and are the only unbeaten team remaining in conference play.
On Tuesday, Rutgers moved into the United Coaches Poll for the first time since the first month of the season and are currently ranked #21st in the country.
