WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. – On a sunny Sunday afternoon, No. 21 Rutgers defeated in-state rival Monmouth 2-1 behind two goals from Katie Larmour.

KEY STATS

Rutgers outshot Monmouth 8-7 and had a 6-5 advantage in corners.
Gianna Glatz made three saves for the Scarlet Knights.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Rutgers scored in the opening quarter, capitalizing off a well-executed attack penalty corner. Katie Larmour was stationed at the bottom of the goal and deflected the ball in to give the Scarlet Knights an early 1-0 lead.

The Hawks struck back in the second quarter. Ireen Frenken knocked the ball in off a corner to even the score at 1-1 heading into the halftime break.

In the third quarter, it was a similar corner play that put the Scarlet Knights back in front. Austyn Cuneo took a shot from the top and Larmour deflected it home for a 2-1 lead.

Rutgers defense would hold strong, buoyed by the play of sophomore back Abby Regn. The Scarlet Knights held on for the 2-1 victory.

QUOTABLE

"This is a great win. We knew this would be a tough game against a team that always battles down to the last second. We knew we had to play composed, move the ball and I thought we really did that well today. I'm very proud of our team's effort today."

Head Coach Meredith Civico

NOTABLE

Katie Larmour recorded her second multi-goal game of the season and third of her career. That tied her career high in goals (2) and points (4).
Austyn Cuneo had her second career-multi assist game (previously Sept. 29, 2017 at No. 10 Northwestern).
The Rutgers' victory represented Monmouth's first home regular season loss since 2015, breaking a 30-game streak.
Milena Redlingshoefer made her season debut.
