Rutgers athletics finding success in February

Over the last few weeks, Rutgers sports fans have had plenty to celebrate.

Over the last few weeks, Rutgers sports fans have had plenty to celebrate. The Lacrosse season is in full swing and after a disappointing January, men’s basketball looks like a different team. So far in February, that trio has posted a 6-0 record.

However, they are not the only teams that have had success. Despite dropping their last three matches, wrestling is off to a 10-4 start. They have also been very good on the road, with a 5-1 record compared to a 4-3 mark at home. Despite their struggle at Jersey Mike’s Arena, fans have been out in full force.

 

However, the fun is far from over. In the second full week of February, wrestling is set to take on the best team in the country in Penn State on February 12. Men’s basketball will put their three-game winning streak on the line on February 15. Those matchups should provide plenty of fireworks for fans in Piscataway.

The Big Ten Tournament men’s lacrosse kicks off Saturday with an NCAA tournament bid on the line

Rutgers is getting ready for the Big Ten Lacrosse Tournament

With the 2023 lacrosse regular season in the books, the Big Ten has shifted its focus to tournament play. On Saturday, the madness begins as Rutgers will face Maryland, and Michigan will face Ohio State. While there can only be one champion, this weekend should be full of memorable moments.

The 2023 Big Ten Tournament will feature six teams, with the top two seeds in Penn State and John Hopkins getting a bye. A lot is on the line as the winner will earn a spot in the NCAA championship. On May 7, the bracket will be revealed.

Entering the tournament, Rutgers is the sixth seed. The Scarlet Knights were a disappointing 1-4 in conference play during the regular season with their only win against a Big Ten team came on April 7 against Michigan. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to replicate that success against Maryland. They lost to the Terrapins 11-8 on April 16.

 

As Rutgers looks to surpass expectations, they will need Dante Kulas, Scott Ross, and Brain Cameron to be at their best. The trio led the way offensively during the regular season and combined for 105 points. They will be more motivated than ever to earn an NCAA tournament appearance for the third straight season.

While Rutgers will be looking to break brackets, they have five talented teams in their way, including the top-seed Penn State. During the 2023 campaign, the Nittany Lions went 4-1 in conference play and are looking to continue that dominance this weekend.

Scott Ross is providing Rutgers men’s lacrosse with a boost offensively

Scott Ross is off to a strong start this season.

So far this season, Rutgers men’s lacrosse has gotten off to a dominant start. The Scarlet Knights have posted a 7-1 record through their first eight games and have not lost in over a month. During that stretch, they have been led by Scott Ross, who is having a stellar senior campaign.

In eight games, Ross has recorded 22 goals and seven assists. His 29 points are the second most on the team, trailing Dante Kulas by one. The talented attacker has proven to be a difficult matchup for opponents, as he has recorded six or more points in three games this season.

Additionally, the West Linn High School product is thriving in clutch situations with three game-winning goals. He has not been afraid of shooting the ball and leads the team with 67 shots and 43 shots on goal. While his start to the season has been impressive, it comes as no surprise after his success last year.

As a junior, Ross had his breakout season with 75 points in 19 games. It was the first time in his collegiate career that the West Linn native had more than 20 points in a season. He has been even better through the first few weeks of the 2023 campaign.

On a Rutgers team with high expectations, Ross has been one of their best players. He will be relied on as a critical piece of offense this season, a role he has already shown he is more than capable of handling.
