CLOSING OUT HOMESTAND
The Scarlet Knights are coming off a 2-0 setback to Michigan, last season's Big Ten regular season champion and a squad receiving votes in last week's United Soccer Coaches Poll.
Michigan's Umar Farouk Osman scored twice midway through the second half to spoil the Big Ten opener for the Scarlet Knights.
It was nearly 30 minutes into the first half before either Rutgers or Michigan were able to get chances on goal. The Scarlet Knights nearly lit up the scoreboard in the final two minutes of the opening stanza with Brian Hawkins firing away between two Wolverine defenders. The shot, however, hit the far post to keep the score knotted at 0-0 entering the intermission.
Scarlet Knight goalkeeper Rafael Pereira came up with a big save 10 minutes into the second half to keep the game scoreless, making a diving save to his left denying the header by Daniel Mukuna and the Wolverine's Jackson Ragen followed by hitting the ball into the near post.
Michigan's first goal came in the 62nd minute with Osman breaking the scoreless stalemate with the left footed shot off a pass from Mohammad Zakyi from 20 yards out into the upper left corner.
Less than four minutes later, the Wolverine added his second score of the night putting away a deflected throw-in by Austin Swiech at the back post.
ABOUT MARIST
The Scarlet Knights and Red Foxes meet for the first time on Tuesday night. Marist comes to Yurcak Field sporting a 1-3-1 record with their lone victory being a 1-0 win over then #17 Pacific. In their last contest, the Red Foxes produced a 1-1 tie at home with No. 12 Fordham.
Marist is led by sophomore midfielder Allen Gavilanes with four points (1G, 2A) and is followed on the stat sheet by junior midfielder Samad Bounthong with three points (1G, 1A). Three other Red Foxes have managed to net at least one score thus far in 2018.
In goal, Ryan Sinnott has gotten the start in the last three games with Fordham, Rhode Island and Pacific. The junior netminder has logged three saves with a .800 save percentage and 0.93 goals against average. Junior Svyatoslav Kozak made starts in the first two Red Foxes games of the year with Albany and St. Mary's. Under his belt are nine saves with a .600 save percentage and 3.00 goals against average.
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SPARTANS
Rutgers will be embarking on its first Big Ten road trip of the year heading to Michigan State for a Friday night tilt with the Spartans.
Ranked at #4 in last week's United Soccer Coaches Poll, the Spartans enter the week with a 5-0-2 mark and will face #8 Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana Monday night before welcoming the Scarlet Knights for their first conference match.
B1G STAT SPEAKING
Rutgers leading scorer Jordan Hall currently leads the Big Ten in shots, averaging 3.00 attempts per game and totaling 18 over the first six games of the season.
