Sep 07 | Women's Soccer
PRINCETON, N.J. – No. 21/13 Rutgers women's soccer played to a 0-0, double-overtime draw at RV/25 Princeton on Saturday night. Sophomore goalkeeper Meagan McClelland registered a career-high five saves, posting her fourth shutout of the season.

The match was balanced between the sides, as Princeton edged Rutgers 14-10 in shots and 6-5 in corners. The Scarlet Knights led saves 5-4 in the tie. McClelland's five saves matched her career high for the second straight game.
THE MATCH
The Scarlet Knights and Tigers began the match with an even first half. The defenses held both squads to a combined five shots through the frame.
