The Rutgers Women’s Soccer team solidified itself as one of the best teams in the nation last season. Now, the expectations remain sky-high heading into 2022.
The Scarlet Knights have been voted No. 1 in the Big Ten Preseason Coaches Poll, which was released on Monday. This marks the first time in Rutgers’ history that a program has been voted No. 1. It also marks a first in the Big Ten as Rutgers and Penn State finished tied for the top spot.
The coaches also selected players to watch for the upcoming season and Rutgers landed three on the list — grad goalkeeper Meagan McClelland, junior midfielder Sara Brocious, and sophomore forward Riley Tiernan.
