The Rutgers field hockey team saw its season officially end on Sunday night, as they ended up on the
wrong side of the NCAA Tournament bubble. The Scarlet Knights were one of the last three teams left
out of the 18-team field.
With a resume that included a 10-8 overall record, two wins over top ten opponents in Princeton and

ranking of 18th, they fell just short of earning a second consecutive invite to the NCAA Tournament.
Rutgers is ranked 18th in the latest coaches’ poll that came out Tuesday.
