PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Caroline Cummings and Alex Condon powered No. 10 Penn's offense, each finishing with five points as the Quakers knocked off Rutgers, 11-9, at High Point Solutions Stadium

Cummings had a game-high four goals while Condon had two goals and three assists as the Red and Blue improved to 3-0 this season. The two connected on an insurance goal for the Quakers with 1:53 to provide Penn with a two-goal lead and all but lock up the victory.

The Quakers thought they were comfortably in front midway through the second half after Cummings scored her fourth of the game to give the Red and Blue a 10-5 lead, but the Scarlet Knights charged back within one after scoring the next four goals – including three in a span of 2:21. Macy Scott's third goal of the game with 6:42 had Rutgers within one and thinking upset, but Penn denied the Scarlet Knights any further goals.

The second half run was the second time the Scarlet Knights put a true scare into the Quakers. Late in the first half, Rutgers scored three times in a span of 6:21 to turn a 4-2 Penn lead into a 5-5 tie with 1:10 left in the opening half.

Penn would show its resiliency, though, with two goals in a span of 40 seconds before the end of the half. Cummings had the first one off a Gabby Rosenzweig pass with 0:42 to play, and a team effort led to the second just before the buzzer. The Scarlet Knights turned the ball over with under 10 seconds left in the first half and Alex Condon picked up the ground ball near midfield. She would launch a pass 40 yards to a wide open Chrissy Corcoran who took three quick steps and fired home her first career goal with 0:02 remaining on the clock to send Penn into the break with a 7-5 lead.

Neither team would score over the first 8:44 of the second half before Barry connected for two goals in a span of 2:46 to give Penn a 9-5 lead. Cummings would then make it 10-5 with an unassisted strike, providing just enough distance so that the Scarlet Knights could not fully charge back.

Notes: Cummings went for five points for the second time in three games, tying her career high … Condon followed up her eight-goal game last weekend at Johns Hopkins with five … Erin Barry scored her first collegiate goal and registered her first collegiate multi-point game … Chrissy Corcoran also netted her first collegiate goal … Barry led the Quakers with four draw controls … Condon finished with two caused turnovers and three ground balls … Cummings added three ground balls of her own … Britt Brown made seven saves in goal, including six in the first half.
