Rutgers lacrosse: Shane Knobloch, Ross Scott named Preseason All-Americans

Three from Rutgers men’s lacrosse get preseason accolades.

On Wednesday, USA Lacrosse Magazine released its Preseason All- Americans list and Rutgers was well represented. Two Scarlet Knights made the list, including Shane Knobloch, named a First Team Preseason All-American, and Ross Scott, named an Honorable Mention.

While the Scarlet Knights are full of talent, Knobloch and Ross receiving national recognition is no surprise. The talented duo are team captains this year and have already put together impressive resumes in Piscataway.

Knobloch, who will be entering his senior season, has been a scoring machine since making his collegiate debut. In 46 games, the Morristown native has recorded 107 career points, including 69 goals. He is also a two-time All-Big Ten selection and the 2021 Big Ten Freshman of the Year.

 

Like Knobloch, Scott has become a key player due to his performance on the field. In 52 games, the two-time all-conference selection has scored 89 goals and dished out 48 assists. He is also ranked as the No. 26 player in the nation by Inside Lacrosse.

Although expectations for the 2024 campaign are high, Rutgers is ready for the challenge. Over the last three years, the Scarlet Knights have posted a 32-14 record. In that span, they recorded 13 wins against ranked teams.

If Knobloch and Scott meet expectations, Rutgers will again be a team few want to face.

With the start of the 2024 Lacrosse season quickly approaching, the Scarlet Knights have named their captains. They will have familiar leadership in Ross Scott, who will be a captain for the second straight season. He will be joined by Shane Knoblach.

As Scott prepares for his fifth season with Rutgers, expectations are higher than ever before. The Oregon native was recently ranked as the No. 26 player in the nation by Inside Lacrosse. In 52 career games, he has been a points machine, recording 89 goals and dishing out 48 assists.

 

Although Knoblach doesn’t have a resume as long as Scott, Rutgers is still in good hands. The Moorestown native was recently ranked as the No. 33 player in the nation entering the season by Inside Lacrosse. During his time in Piscataway, Knoblach has been a three-time All-American, two-time All-Big Ten selection and was the 2021 Big Ten Freshman of the Year.

With this talented duo setting the tone, Rutgers will be in a prime position to build on their recent success. Over the past three full seasons, Rutgers has posted a 32-14 record. In span, they have recorded 13 wins against ranked opponents. Going back even further, Rutgers has 36 wins against ranked opponents since 2003.

That success should continue with a talented roster led by two stars in Scott and Knoblach.

ON BTN, Mark Dixon says Rutgers men’s lacrosse Ross Scott is ‘one of the best players…in college lacrosse’

Rutgers men’s lacrosse Ross Scott gets praised by the Big Ten Network’s Ross Scott.

Rutgers men’s lacrosse is cruising into the second round of the NCAA Tournament, where they will face a UPenn program that won the Ivy League Tournament two weeks ago.

In the final regular season Inside Lacrosse rankings, Rutgers was eighth in the rankings. UPenn checked in at third.

Before a packed house at Yurcak Field, Rutgers beat Harvard 19-9 on Sunday in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. Ross Scott scored eight goals for Rutgers, the 5-foot-9 junior attacker turning in a big performance for the Scarlet Knights.

“Electric, it was unbelievable. I think the rest of the country, if they weren’t paying attention to Rutgers or Ross Scott, found out what we’ve known all along,” Big Ten Network analayst Mark Dixon said on Wednesday.

“Scott is one of the best players – attack or any position – in college lacrosse. He’s so fast, so quick. That was competitive game. What? 7-4 at halftime. The second half became the Ross Scott show. I believe he had seven of those eight goals in the second half of action.

“Everything was on display for him: his quickness, his shooting ability. His ability to turn the corner and get great shots off. In a time when Rutgers was so experienced: 27 seniors…you talk about the grad transfers in [Mitch] Bartolo and [Brian] Cameron and [Ronan] Jacoby, it is Ross Scott that has really paid his dues and has elevated his game to a whole other stratosphere in 2022.”

(Note: the halftime score was 7-5 in favor of Rutgers).

The second-round NCAA Tournament match at Hofstra between Rutgers and Harvard will take place at noon.

UPenn beat both Brown and Yale in the Ivy League Tournament. In the first round of the NCAA Tournament, they beat Richmond 11-10.
