The Scarlet Knights looked to get in the win column on a rainy, windy, dreary afternoon at Yurcak Field versus the Purdue Boilermakers. Rutgers lost its first Big Ten game, 3-2, at Indiana, rallying from a 2-nil deficit to tie the match up, only to concede a late goal.
The Scarlet Knights took on No. 5 Penn State at home this past Thursday but again found themselves trailing 2-0 early. After a lackluster first half, Rutgers showed more competitive energy in the second, with a healthy Sam Kroeger notching her first goal of the season and almost tying the match up in the waning seconds.
