place in the final Big Ten standings. That set up a quarterfinal matchup with third seeded Northwestern,
who won last Thursday by the score of 3-1.

Rutgers saw three players earn All-Big Ten honors this season, as junior goalkeeper Gianna Glatz was
named to the First Team for a second straight year, redshirt junior midfielder Katie Larmour earned First
Team honors after missing the previous season due to injury, while redshirt senior back Austyn Cuneo
was named to the Second Team. Team captain and senior Alanna Gollotto, who started in all 71
games she played in her Rutgers career, earned the team’s Sportsmanship award from the
conference.

Cuneo led the Scarlet Knights in goals (8), assists (8), and total points (24), despite missing three games.
Larmour was second in goals (7) and total points (15). Other top offensive contributors were junior
back Kerrie Burns (4 goals, 1 assist, 9 points), sophomore midfielder Tayla Parkes (2 goals, 5 assists, 9
points), and sophomore midfielder Milena Redlingshoefer (1 goal, 6 assists, 8 points), who played in just
13 games. In net, Glatz had a .740 save percentage, a 1.49 goals against average and four shutouts
this season.

Despite falling short of an NCAA berth, the Rutgers field hockey program is still having unprecedented
success under eighth year head coach Meredith Civico. They were ranked every week of this season,
a year removed from the program’s first NCAA appearance in 32 years. They produced back to back
double-digit win seasons, including winning four Big Ten games in both, the program’s most ever since
joining the conference in 2014. They also had three All-Big Ten selections in back to back years,
including two First Team selections. Rutgers has fifteen victories all-time against ranked foes and twelve
of them have come in the last three seasons.

The season didn’t end the way Rutgers wanted it to, but with most of the starting lineup set to return
next year and several promising freshmen on the roster, the future remains bright for the field hockey
program.
