Following a disappointing finish during the 2022-23 campaign, the Rutgers women’s soccer squad looked to get off to a strong start this fall. Eighteen players return from last season’s NCAA tournament squad, including All-American defender Emily Mason and All-Region selections Riley Tiernan, Sara Brocious and Sam Kroeger. They join Allison Lowrey and Emma Misal, all garnering Big Ten awards last fall. Impact graduate transfer, forward Gia Vicari, earned All Big East First Team awards the last three seasons and was named an All Region player last fall with the Georgetown Hoyas.
We came in for captain’s preseason on July 10th and everyone was already fit.
