Ross Scott of Rutgers lacrosse named All-American.

With the 2024 lacrosse season in the books, Ross Scott added to his trophy case on Thursday. The Rutgers lacrosse captain received Honorable Mention All-American honors. He was also a First Team All-Big Ten selection, earning his highest career all-conference honors. 

In his final season in Piscataway, Scott was a scoring machine. The West Linn High School product scored 20 goals and dished out 25 assists. He finished the season with 45 points, the second-highest total of his Rutgers career. In clutch situations, Scott was a reliable option, as he added two game-winning goals to his highlight reel. 

As Scott prepares for his pro career, he will forever be part of Rutgers history. The talented attacker finished his college career with 109 goals and 73 assists for 182 points in 66 games. His 52 starts are the 11th most in program history.

His next stop will be with the Carolina Chaos after being drafted in the third round of the 2024 PLL Draft. However, Scott will not be alone, as Shane Knobloch was also drafted by the Chaos. Just like they did at Rutgers, Knobloch, and Scott will be looking to be a dangerous duo in the pros.

If they can do that, then Thursday won’t be the last time Scott adds to his impressive list of accomplishments.

Shane Knobloch honored by the USILA.

On Thursday morning, Rutgers‘ Shane Knobloch was recognized by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) for his stellar season.

The Rutgers star became the first player in program history to win the Lt. Donald MacLaughlin Jr. Outstanding Midfielder of the Year Award. It is one of the five major awards given out by the USILA. He is the first Rutgers player to win one of the accolades since Reid Jackson in 1994.

While Knobloch’s name is now forever etched in the record books, it is not the only award he added to his trophy case. The talented midfielder also earned First Team All-American honors, becoming just the second four-time All-American in program history, joining Tom Sweeney.

In 14 games during the 2024 campaign, Knobloch was a scoring machine. He added 29 goals to his resume while dishing out 11 assists. The Moorestown High School product finished the season with 40 points, the second-highest total of his career.

Although Rutgers fans have become used to Knobloch’s excellence, his most recent accomplishments provide a reminder of just how good he is. Since making his collegiate debut in 2021, Knobloch was a key piece of Rutgers offense and model of consistency. That has helped him become the best at his position. 

With his college career in the books, Knobloch will now turn his attention to his pro career with the Carolina Chaos. He was the fourth overall pick in the 2024 PLL Draft.

With his latest accomplishment, the New Jersey native also made history.

On Thursday, Knobloch became the second four-time All-American in program history. He joined Tom Sweeney, who earned All-American honors each year from 1977 to 1980.

While Kbobloch is preparing to begin his PLL career with the Carolina Chaos, he is turning the page on a member college career. In 60 games for Rutgers, he scored 98 goals and recorded 49 assists. During his time at Rutgers, Knobloch was the Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 2021 and an All-American in 2021, 2022, and 2023.

His latest achievement provided a reminder of how good he was at Rutgers and why he will be missed next year at Piscataway.

Two Rutgers lacrosse players taken in PLL Draft

Rutgers lacrosse has two taken in the PLL Draft.

On Tuesday night, two members of Rutgers men’s lacrosse, Shane Knobloch and Ross Scott, were selected in the PLL Draft.

The Rutgers duo of Knobloch and Scott will be heading to Charlotte after being selected by the Carolina Chaos. 

After an unforgettable career at Rutgers, Knobloch made history in the draft. He was drafted fourth overall, becoming the highest-ever PLL draft pick out of Rutgers since the league started. He is the first Rutgers player to be taken in the first round since Connor Kirst was the No. 7 overall pick  in 2021.

While Knobloch’s Chaos debut is still weeks away, excitement is already building for his future. His new head coach, Andy Towers, made that clear when he met with the media.

“We couldn’t be happier that Shane was available,” Towers told Rutgers Athletics. “He continued to impress and does not have a weakness. He’s crafty and can make defenses pay. He couldn’t be a better teammate. He’s mentally tough. He’s hyper competitive and physically tough.”

As Knobloch adjusts to a new team, he will have a familiar face to lean on in Scott. The Chaos selected Scott in the fourth round after he scored 109 goals in 66 games during his college career. He finished his Rutgers career ranked 11th all-time in school history in points and 12th in goals. His ability to make an impact offensively is one of the reasons the Chaos targeted him.

After years of providing Rutgers fans with exciting moments, Knobloch and Scott will get to take their talents to the next level starting on June 1. With the talented duo in the mix, the Chaos have a bright future that many in Piscataway will watch closely.

Also, this is the second preseason recognition for Knobloch and Scott this week, as the two Scarlet Knights were named Preseason All-Americans by USA Lacrosse Magazine and Inside Lacrosse on Monday.

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.

[lawrence-related id=34238,34219,34193]

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.

[lawrence-related id=33910,33905,33902]

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.

Rutgers spring athletic shifts focus to 2024, baseball prepares for tournament play

The playoffs have already provided exciting moments for the Scarlet Knights but have also been full of heartbreak.

With summer on the horizon, all of Rutgers spring athletics have shifted their focus to 2024 except for baseball, which still has two games left in the regular season. The playoffs have already provided exciting moments for the Scarlet Knights but have also been full of heartbreak.

Women’s lacrosse shocked the world by beating a higher seed in John Hopkins in their first playoff game before falling to Maryland. Men’s lacrosse and softball did not have the same luck, as they both suffered early playoff exits.

Over the next few weeks, Rutgers fans will shift their focus to baseball, with the season finale set for this Saturday. After that, the Scarlet Knights will begin their playoff run and would be the fifth seed if the season ended on Friday. They have thrived against Big Ten teams lately, which is a good sign.

As the Scarlet Knights look to make a deep playoff run, there still should be a few unforgettable moments left in a 2023 campaign that has been a rollercoaster ride.

Three from Rutgers men’s lacrosse earn special honors

Three Rutgers men’s lacrosse standouts are named All-Americans.

While the 2023 campaign for Rutgers men’s lacrosse ended in disappointing fashion, the season was full of unforgettable moments. Ethan Rall, Shane Knoblach, and Noah Daniels provided a few of those, and on Tuesday, they were recognized for their play. The first postseason All-Americans listing was revealed by USA Lacrosse Magazine, with all three receiving honors.

Ethan Rall was named to the First Team, Shane Knoblach to the Third Team, and Noah Daniels rounded out the awards as an Honorable Mention selection. It is not the first time Rall and Knoblach received special recognition from USA Lacrosse Magazine.

For the second straight season, Rall was named a First Team All-American. He was a disruptive presence by causing 21 turnovers and collecting 49 ground balls. He also rewrote the Rutgers record books as he finished his career with 85 caused turnovers, a program record. Rall finished his senior season second in the league in caused turnovers per game.

As Knoblach added 38 points to his resume, he earned All-American accolades for the third straight season. While playing primarily out of the midfield, the New Jersey native had five multi-goal games, including four hat tricks. He also showed a flair for the dramatics with a game-winning goal in overtime against Michigan.

Unlike Knoblach and Rall, the 2023 season was Daniels’s first in Piscataway. He made an instant impact with 11 points and 29 ground balls. The New York native finished fourth on the team in caused turnovers and had three games of at least five points. With Daniels in the Rutgers midfield, their future is bright.

Later this month, the All-American teams from the media voting compiled by Inside Lacrosse and the Coaches’ All-American teams from the USILA will be released.
