Rutgers has had a tremendous season going 15-3 and going up against Cornell; they will face three Ivy League schools in a row in this tournament. They first beat Harvard 19-9 in their tournament opener and then got a tremendous upset against No. 3 Penn in the quarterfinal. It was the first time Rutgers won two consecutive NCAA Tournament games. Before the tournament, though, they lost big to Maryland, 17-7 in the Big Ten Tournament.
Cornell’s path started by losing to No. 5 Yale in the Ivy League tournament. They have since rebounded by beating No. 12 Ohio State 15-8. Then they had a much closer 10-8 win against the University of Delaware in the quarterfinal. Both teams were tied 7-7 heading into the final quarter. Their defense came up clutch in the final frame and will need to replicate that performance if they will head to their first NCAA Tournament final since 2009.
