Rutgers women's soccer hosted Colgate for its second and final scrimmage of the preseason on Sunday evening at Yurcak Field. Four different Scarlet Knights recorded a goal in the 4-0 win, as the team registered its second clean sheet of the week.

It was definitely a great team performance. Everyone had such great energy and we've been really working on details and habits since we started preseason. I think everyone did such a good job putting that in on both ends offensively and defensively. It's a great transition for our first game on Thursday.

After our first scrimmage with Navy, we definitely wanted to come out and score more because I feel like in the first 20 minutes that's the most important time to set the tone. We all were on the same page with that and we did it.

RU capped the preseason with two victories in its scrimmages, including two shutouts, and a total of nine goals scored by seven different Scarlet Knights. The team opens the regular season on Thursday, Aug. 19, hosting FDU for a 7 p.m. ET match at Yurcak Field.
