Women’s Soccer Set to Ring Bells at Old Queens
May 05 | Women's Soccer
The first Big Ten Championship team in department history will participate in the time-honored Rutgers tradition
The 2021 women's soccer team, winners of the first-ever Big Ten Championship in Rutgers history, will participate in a special university tradition on Friday, May 13 at 11 a.m. when they ring the bell at Old Queens. The bell, gifted to the University from Colonel Henry Rutgers in 1826, is reserved to mark significant occasions university wide.
Rutgers prepares for a fall season guided by the Big Ten Coach of the Year Mike O'Neill and his staff which was named the 2021 United Soccer Coaches Regional Staff of the Year.
The Scarlet Knights cruised to a 10-0 undefeated record in conference play last season. Led by a program-record nine All-Big Ten selections, the team advanced to the Big Ten Tournament Championship game for the third time since joining the league. In its 10th straight NCAA Tournament and first as a No. 1 seed, the team advanced to the College Cup for the second time and first time since 2015. The Scarlet Knights capped the year ranked No. 3, the highest rank ever for the program.
Rutgers claimed three major Big Ten awards, including Defender of the Year, Midfielder of the Year and Freshman of the Year. The Scarlet Knights saw equal success in the classroom as a program-record 21 student-athletes were named academic All-Big Ten honorees, including a Scholar All-America and two Scholar All-Region selections.
The Old Queens bell is a celebrated icon of the university's history. Before the university expanded beyond the Old Queens campus, the bell was rung to signal daily worship and the change of classes. As the university's footprint grew, the ringing of the bell took on new meaning and was reserved to mark significant occasions, including those of prized athletic success. The bell is also rung every year to mark commencement, welcome first-year students at the new student convocation and on the annual Rutgers Day.
