The wins pushed their overall record to 8-6, and into a tie for fifth in the league with a 3-3 conference
       mark. The team has three games left on the season schedule, concluding the year at Penn State next
       Sunday following these two road games.

       Katie Larmour had the lone goal of the day in Friday's 1-0 win, her team-leading sixth of the year.
       Goalkeeper Gianna Glatz had 16th career shutout in the effort. The win represented RU's third ranked
       victory of the season. The team now ranks in the top-25 in the nation in save percentage (18th) and
       goals-against-average (22nd).





                  SCOUTING MICHIGAN


                    Michigan enters the matchup at 12-3
                    overall and at 5-1 in Big Ten conference
                    play. The Wolverines have won 11 of
                    their past 12 games, the lone loss in that
                    span a shootout loss at Northwestern.

       The team is stout defensively, ranking second in the
       nation in goals-against-average (0.7) and shutouts
       per game (0.6). Goalkeeper Anna Speiker has a .711 save percentage. Offensively, five different
       players have at least 15 points, with Megan Dowthwiate holding the team lead with seven goals and
       sharing the team lead with 17 points with Kathryn Peterson (five goals, seven assists).

       Rutgers is looking for its first all-time win against Michigan in the ninth lifetime matchup.




                  SCOUTING TEMPLE



                    Temple enters the weekend at 5-8
                    overall and have lost six of their past
                    seven games. Dani Batze leads the team
                    with five goals and 10 points on the year.
       Goalkeeper Cristina Carotenuto has a 1.70 goals-
       against-average and .681 save percentage. The
       Owls have been outscored 22-15 on the year
       through 13 games.

       Rutgers has faced Temple 36 times lifetime, with the most recent matchup coming in 2014. That is the
       most games that RU has played against any one team. RU will be looking to earn its first win against
       the Owls since 2008.
