April Price felt a rush when she struck a goal Friday against Stony Brook in a 2-1 victory for the Rutgers women’s soccer team. While the score was the first for the senior forward since October 2010 against Providence, finding the back of the net was not the Mechanicsville, Va., native’s main intention. Simply remaining injury-free and finding the field was enough motivation for Price entering her final season. “One thing I really wanted to focus on going into this year was staying healthy,” Price said.

The Knights have had a hard time getting shots off in the early part of the season, despite their 5-1 record and No. 21 national ranking. While goal scoring so far has not hurt the Knights, it will always be a priority. Crooks sees other areas of the game that need work, including Rutgers’ mentality and execution in the first half.

The Princeton men’s soccer team challenged itself by beginning its season with five consecutive Big East opponents. The Scarlet Knights (1-2) have their own challenges before conference play, but many have nothing to do with tomorrow’s game against the Tigers (1-1). Princeton won only five games last year, but it is still a college team. Thirteen Knights have little experience at the college level. “You can’t just bounce back and expect to pick up where you left off [last year],” said head coach Dan Donigan.

With seven freshmen in the rotation so far this season, it is easy for the Rutgers women’s soccer team to appear unorganized at times on the field. For head coach Glenn Crooks, senior defender Shannon Woeller serves as the orchestrator of the back four and someone he feels comfortable with controlling the team as a whole. “When you are a center back for any team, you have to speak,” Crooks said. “You have to direct people, you have to organize, and part of that is just growing up a leader, and she has done that.”

Junior forward Kene Eze wants to score 10 goals this season, a year after tying for the Rutgers men’s soccer team lead with six.

Donigan gave Eze a wake-up call Sunday against Creighton that he was not on track to do either. Eze could not play all 90 minutes against the second-ranked team in the country, coming off the bench and playing 52 minutes.

When Rutgers head women’s soccer coach Glenn Crooks recruited freshman defender Brianne Reed last year, it was her physicality and personality that Crooks believed could help the team. But it was not until the first game of the season, when Reed took off in the air on a throw-in, that junior defender Tori Leigh discovered what Crooks calls an “added bonus.” “I was impressed with it,” Leigh said. “I’ve never seen it done before besides with her. We never practiced it [with her], so it was a shocker to all of us.”
