These are historic times for Rutgers athletics. Men’s Basketball is coming off of a second straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament, while the women turn the page with Coach Washington who brings over a decade of head coaching experience having successfully served in that role at Penn State.
Men’s basketball opens the season on November 7 in non-conference action against Columbia. The Women’s schedule is not available yet.
The Patriots (60-35) the Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees are hosting the Rumble Ponies (35-60) the Double-A affiliate of the New York Mets in the first ever Double-A Subway Series to be played at TD Bank Ballpark.
