Barry on choosing Rutgers: “A chance to play in the Big Ten was one that I could not turn down. I already had a ton of respect for the coaches, who I had seen do amazing things at Fordham. Past players have spoken very highly of the coaching staff. I want to do my part to help make this program the best in the Big Ten.”
McElderry on Barry: “The New Jersey resident joins us after spending three years at St. Joe’s where he helped them to a successful run in the A10. We were lucky to have Ritchie join us in the spring, where he showed his quality in front of goal, his competitiveness and the workrate we were looking for in a player. He has fit in well and quickly started to combine with our current players in the final third. His talent and experience will be a big asset for us."
