Late in the first half, Cuneo tallied her second of the day, taking a feed from Burns and firing one in for
the goal. The Scarlet Knights held control of the game from there, with no scoring in the second half
leading to the 3-0 final margin.

QUOTABLE

"I'm really pleased that the team was able to get the win today. That was a focus point of ours, to start
the season on a front-foot, aggressive mindset. We were the first ones to the ball and made a
statement in the first five minutes of the game. We had really high energy and an attacking mentality. I
thought our play in the first two quarters was really great. We needed to make some adjustments in
the third quarter, and we discussed that after the game. But overall, I'm really happy about this
performance." Rutgers Head Coach Meredith Civico
