Two Rutgers Men’s Lacrosse players to compete in World Championship

Two of the student-athletes from Rutgers men’s lacrosse team will compete in the 2022 World Lacrosse Men’s U-21 World Championship. Sophomore Shane Knobloch will play for Team USA and junior Ross Scott will play for Team Canada. Volunteer assistant coach Peter Dolan will serve on the coaching staff for Team Ireland. The event takes place from August 10 to August 20 at the  University of Limerick in Limerick, Ireland.

Both Knobloch and Scott were All-Americans for the Scarlet Knights last season while leading the team to a program first Final Four appearance. Rutgers also set records in wins, grabbing 15 victories, and ranked wins, including a win over No. 3 Penn, with six.

Knobloch continued to excel this past year, following up his Big Ten Freshman of the Year campaign with new career-best outputs. He posted 32 goals and 17 assists for 48 points. The Moorestown, New Jersey native even scored a team-best three goals in the NCAA Quarterfinals. He was named Honorable Mention All-American and First Team All-Big Ten.
