and 24 points. Throughout her career, the Waterford Works, New Jersey, native has 19 goals and 53
       points.

       Prior to Cuneo scoring her goal, Baekers netted 2 goals less than 2 minutes apart in the 30th and 31st
       minutes. Her first was unassisted, while Kirsten Mansfield and Christen Conley assisted her second.
       Baekers had nine shots, seven of which were on goal.

       Cuneo had 10 shots, 4 of which were goals. Junior back Kerrie Burns had one shot, which was on goal.
       Burns has 4 goals this season along with 9 points. Junior midfielder Gianna Mancini had one shot as
       well. Rutgers finished the season with a 10-8 overall record. At home, the team was 5-3 at home and 4-
       4 on the road. At neutral site action, the Knights finished 1-1. Rutgers scored 29 goals on 212 shot
       attempts and allowed 25 goals on 171 shot attempts to opponents.

       Glatz allowed 25 goals, maintaining a 1.49 goals against average. The junior made 71 total saves on
       the season, finishing with a 9-8 record.

       The Knights' highest-scoring game was a 4-goal barrage against Ball State back on Aug. 31. In that
       game, junior midfielder Katie Larmour netted 2 goals on five shots.

       Against Northwestern, sophomore midfielder Tayla Parkes tallied an assist, capping off a career-high
       season of 9 points. Rutgers controlled the corner battle over the weekend, maintaining a 12-5
       advantage in that area.






























       The Knights last season were ousted by the Ohio State in the Big Ten Tournament's quarterfinals round,
       a game that consisted of double overtime periods. Both teams were scoreless until Esther Clotet
       netted the game-winning goal in the 88th minute.


       Last season, Rutgers earned a berth in the NCAA Field Hockey Tournament but  were held scoreless by
       UConn in the first round. The Huskies were then ranked No. 5 in the country and scored as many goals
       as their ranking in that game.


       In 2018, the Knights finished 13-6 with a 4-4 Big Ten record, similar to this season. In head coach
       Meredith Civico's eight years at the helm, their highest win total against conference opponents has
       been four.

       The conclusion of the regular season and the early exit from the Big Ten Tournament mark the second
       consecutive year in which Rutgers finished with more than a .500-win percentage. The Knights have
       only done this since last year.
