RUTGERS QUICK KICKS

Rutgers produced a mark of 8-3-3 overall, 6-2-3 in Big Ten play, and a 5-0 undefeated mark at home.
The team was anchored by a program-tying record of seven All-Big Ten selections this year - Amirah Ali (First Team), Gabby Provenzano (First Team), Meagan McClelland (Second Team), and Nneka Moneme (Third Team) were all named All-Big Ten. Sam Kroeger, Becci Fluchel and Emma Misal were named to the All-Freshman Team.
The Scarlet Knights competed in their seventh straight Big Ten Tournament, claiming the No. 3 seed in the East. RU reached its second straight and fourth conference semifinal since joining the league in 2014. Ali and Provenzano were named to the All-Tournament Team.
Ali, a MAC Hermann Trophy candidate and Senior CLASS Award Finalist, owns a team-high 13 points (6g, 1a). Classmate Nneka Moneme followed with three goals on the year, as 10 different Scarlet Knights contributed to scoring this spring.
Rutgers has held all 14 opponents to single-digit shots on goal this year and nine to just single-digit shots overall. In net, junior Meagan McClelland has recorded six shutouts and 34 saves across 1340 minutes played.
The NCAA bid marks the ninth straight, 11th in the last 13 years, and 15th overall for the program.
