Rutgers men’s soccer’s historic season ended with NCAA Tournament loss to Penn on Thursday.
The Scarlet Knights already owned their greatest season as a Big Ten member, winning the first Big Ten Tournament in program history — becoming the first men’s program at Rutgers to win a Big Ten title of any kind in the process — after earning a record second-place finish in the regular season standings.
Rutgers broke its record for regular season points in the Big Ten , tied their record for most Big Ten wins in a season and scored the most goals in a season as a Big Ten member . They had the Big Ten’s Offensive Player of the Year , the league’s Co-Freshman of the Year and five all-Big Ten selections.
In all, coach Jim McElderry’s fourth year at the helm was a resounding success for the Scarlet Knights. Their season ended at Penn Park — a cozy turf field more fitting for intramurals than a big-time college soccer match – because Rhodes Field, their usual natural grass stomping ground, is out of commission until the 2024 season due to construction. Turf tends to make for faster paced soccer, and that rule certainly applied on Thursday.
The Scarlet Knights came out the break on the front foot, creating the first two real chances of the second half, with reserve forward Ola Maelan and senior midfielder Pablo Avila forcing Penn goalkeeper Nick Christoffersen into two saves with strong strikes just outside the box.
