Scarlet Knights Drop Season Opener to Villanova


PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Junior midfielder Justin Pennington (Flemington, N.J.) and freshman Mike Diehl (Flemington, N.J.) scored two goals each for the Rutgers men’s lacrosse team, but a big fourth quarter clinched an 8-4 Villanova win in both teams season opener at the RU Turf Field Saturday afternoon.

The loss marks the first time Rutgers has dropped its season opener since 2002. It’s also the first ever win for the Wildcats over the Scarlet Knights as RU was a perfect 6-0 prior to Saturday’s meeting.
