Rutgers Women’s Soccer Holds off Indiana in Shutout
RUTGERS 1 – INDIANA 0
The good vibes continue for Rutgers women’s soccer, as the nations 10th ranked soccer team held off the Indiana Hoosers 1-0 in RU’s eighth shutout victory of the year. Rutgers improved to 12-1-1 on the season. Indiana fell to 2-5-6.
Per Rutgers Athletics, “Sophomore midfielder Kylie Daigle finished her own penalty kick after being fouled in the box in the 61st minute, putting Rutgers ahead for good in its eighth shutout win of the season.
“Allison Lynch helped lead the backline to another shutout in 2022 by holding the Hoosiers to a single shot on goal, which was saved by Meagan McClelland in the 78th. Lynch played all 90 minutes in the clean sheet, marking the eighth game this season Rutgers defense held an opponent to three shots on goal or less.
“‘It took us a little bit to get going today in a one-game week, so we needed to build some momentum,” Lynch said. “We figured out what we needed to change in our game plan, and we did a nice job adjusting to create the pressure that led to our goal. Meagan always holds us down, but our mindset is to pride ourselves on the shutouts and we do that for each other. We have all 27 players in mind.'”
