Glatz made a big save, extending her leg to kick away a PU scoring chance. Late in the second
quarter, the Scarlet Knights struck back. Katie Larmour carried the ball in and sent a pass in
front. Rachel Houston positioned herself in front of the goal and slammed it in to tie the game. In the
second half, it would be Rutgers capitalizing on a penalty corner for the game-winning goal with eight
minutes remaining. Butsack deflected the ball in to give RU the lead, and the defense held on to
preserve the win.

NOTABLE

• The Scarlet Knights defeated No.6 Princeton last year 1-0 for the highest ranked win in program
history. They equaled the feat with today's win.
• It marked the second ranked win for the team this season, seventh ranked win in the last two
seasons. Of the program's 13 lifetime ranked wins, 10 of them have come over the last three
seasons.
• This is the fifth win all-time for Rutgers against Princeton, and the first time taking consecutive
matchups with Princeton since 1977 and 1978.
• This is the program's first win over the Tigers at Princeton since November 2, 1977.
• Rachel Houston's goal was the freshman's first career tally.
• Larmour's assist was her first of the season.
• This was the fifth win for Rutgers against the Tigers in 25 tries.
• The game-winning goals was Gracey Butsack's first goal of the season.
• Milena Redlingshoefer had the assist on the game-winning goal, her first career point.

QUOTABLE

"We had a game plan and we prepared really well this week. We stuck to that and we were able to
convert on our opportunities. Rachel's finish on the first goal was outstanding, and Gracie made an
outstanding decision on the winning goal to get the touch on it and score. It was phenomenal
execution from the team on what we have been working on. This gives our team a lot of confidence
going forward." Head Coach Meredith Civico
