Late in the game, Burns came through again to provide RU with the win. In the final minute of the
       game, it was a redirection again for the junior back, scoring with just 52 seconds remaining to give
       the Scarlet Knights a 3-2 lead, and shortly after, the victory by that score.

                  NOTABLE


           •  Burns set career-bests in goals (two) and points (four).
           •  Shetler's goal was her first of the season.
           •  Melina Redlingshoefer and Austyn Cuneo recorded assists in the game.
           •  The Scarlet Knights outshot Indiana 20-5 and held an 11-3 advantage in penalty corners. The
               team set a season-high in both shots and corners.
           •  Rutgers now holds a 7-2-1 advantage in the all-time series versus Indiana. The Scarlet Knights
               have won the last three.


                  QUOTABLE

       "This was a must-win game for us. We knew it was going to be a fast paced, high-tempo style out of
       Indiana. We did a nice job sticking to our game plan, trusting that plan and finding a way to play our
       hockey and win the game. Now, we have to recover, rest and prepare for Sunday against
       Northwestern  Meredith Civico on the win


       "Kerrie really trained so well all week. She's somebody who wants to have an impact on the game
       and wants to get the ball, and when she does, she's able to create. We put her up front during a
       couple of spells during this game and she was able to create some penalty corner opportunities,
       and then execute on those opportunities. She was fantastic for us today, along with Melina
       Redlingshoefer in the midfield and Kassidy Shetler on the forward line." Head Coach Meredith Civico
       on Kerrie Burns following her two-goal performance

                  UP NEXT
