No. 18 Rutgers field hockey dominates No. 7
Michigan in 3-0 victory
The Scarlet Knights have now won three Big Ten geams ina row
Oct 25, 2019
The no. 18 Rutgers field hockey team is peaking at the right time of the season, as they won its third
consecutive Big Ten match on Friday afternoon, stunning no. 7 Michigan by the score of 3-0 in Piscataway.
The Wolverines came into the day winners of six straight, having scored a combined 21 goals in those
victories. However, a combination of timely offense, led by Austyn Cuneo, and another tremendous
defensive effort from the Scarlet Knights, led to just the second conference loss of the season for Michigan.
After a scoreless first quarter, Rutgers took the lead with a beautiful pass from Cuneo off a corner to Katie
Larmour, who slammed home the goal from the near post.
Rutgers took full control of the game with a 2-0 lead right before halftime as Cuneo scored off an assist from
Milena Redlingshoefer.
The Scarlet Knights continued the offensive barrage with another goal in the third quarter, as Cuneo found
Kerrie Burns off another corner.
