After a slow start to the season, Rutgers women’s soccer has won two straight games while playing excellent defense. Volleyball has also been impressive, with an 8-1 record through their first nine games.

Allison Lowrey is leading Rutgers offense

Allison Lowery is being counted on this season by Rutgers women’s soccer.

Entering the 2023 campaign, Allison Lowrey had high expectations. The New Jersey native set career highs in goals last season with seven and points with 18. As Lowrey saw an increase in playing time, she provided a spark to the Rutgers offense. That has carried over into her senior campaign, as she has been a points machine over the last few weeks.

Through six games, Lowrey has recorded ten points and five goals. She has already added three multipoint games to her resume, including a dominating performance against FDU. On August 28, the talented forward recorded six points and scored three of Rutgers seven goals. It was the program’s first hat trick since 2019.

Additionally, Rutgers offense has run through Lowrey through the first month of the 2023 campaign. She currently leads the Scarlet Knights in goals, points, and shots on goal. Her success has proven that her play last year was not just lightning in a bottle. That has been a welcoming sign for a Rutgers team hoping to make a deep playoff run.

Lowrey will be a player to keep an eye on as the season continues. She is on pace to easily surpass her numbers from last year with no signs of slowing down. With Lowrey at her best, this Rutgers team is hard to stop.

Rutgers women’s soccer opens their season with win over Holy Cross

Rutgers women’s soccer has a solid start to the season.

On Thursday night, months of anticipation came to an end as Rutgers women’s soccer began their season. The wait proved to be worth it as the Scarlet Knights took care of business against Holy Cross. In a low-scoring game, Rutgers struck first.

Just six minutes after the opening whistle was blown, Riley Tiernan started the scoring. It was Tiernan’s only shot of the night, but it gave Rutgers a 1-0 lead. Eight minutes later, Allison Lowrey provided some insurance with her first goal of the season after drawing a penalty in the box. It marked the second consecutive season Lowrey scored in the opener.

While Lowrey and Tiernan provided the offense, Rutgers got stellar play from Olivia Bodmer. In her college debut, the Monroe native recorded her first career shutout. Holy Cross only landed two shots on net, but Bodmer stopped both of them.

Although Rutgers was happy to come away with a win, there are still areas of their game they need to improve on.

“It’s always difficult attacking a team that sits in,” head coach Mike O’Neil told Rutgers athletics.  “There’s not a lot of space to play, so sometimes you force it and it takes away confidence. We need to stick to the way we play, and I felt at times, we did that and created chances. Now we just need to get a little better at the execution.”

With a win on Thursday night, Rutgers has now won eight consecutive season openers. They return to action on Sunday against Hofstra at 7 p.m.
