Field Hockey Oct 05

IOWA CITY, Iowa – No. 18 Rutgers field hockey concluded a two-game trip to Iowa with a 1-0 neutral
site victory over UC Davis (5-4). Freshman Rachel Houston scored a fourth quarter goal for the Scarlet
Knights (5-5) to give them the victory.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Following a long weather delay to open the game, Rutgers controlled play in the opening half,
outshooting UC Davis 5-1 and holding a 4-1 margin in corners. The team was unable to turn that into a
goal, sending the game tied at 0-0 into the intermission.

Through the first three quarters of game action, the game remained without a goal. In the 51 minute,
st
Melina Redlingshoefer sent a pass on the left side to Rachel Houston, who scored what would be the
game's only goal. The Aggies pressed for an
equalizer, earning three corners in the final frame, but the Scarlet Knight defense held strong to earn
the victory.
