There wasn’t a team as explosive and fun to watch as Rutgers through the first month of the college lacrosse season. And after another electrifying win against Penn State last weekend, it doesn’t look like the 2021 version of the Knights are slowing down.
The Scarlet Knights, unranked preseason after a 2-4 2020 campaign, have showed a relentless offense that put tremendous pressure on opposing defenses. They gutted out the first win against Penn State in a marvelous debut for Connor and Colin Kirst, the brothers who transferred from Villanova and Lehigh, respectively. Then, they poured it on against Ohio State and Michigan with identical scorelines, 22-12, the next two weeks.
