Following a loss in their Big Ten opener over the weekend, Rutgers men’s lacrosse has slipped in the latest polls.
No. 9 Rutgers is down three spots in this week’s Inside Lacrosse rankings.
Despite holding an edge is shots (43:37) and faceoffs won (14:7), Rutgers men’s lacrosse lost 11-7 at Ohio State on Sunday evening. Inefficiency in front of goal cost Rutgers in being upset on the road.
Ohio State rattled off five straight goals on either side of halftime to build a 7-2 lead.
With the loss, Rutgers is now 7-2 (0-1 Big Ten). No. 14 Ohio State moved up five spots with the win.
The poll features a heavy representation from the Big Ten:
- No. 2 Maryland
- No. 7 Johns Hopkins
- No. 9 Rutgers
- No. 11 Penn State
- No. 14 Ohio State
Rutgers faces Johns Hopkins on the road this Saturday.
