WEST CHESTER, Pa. – Brynn Adams scored an opening second half goal, but visiting Rutgers scored two unanswered tallies with the game-winner coming with under a minute to play to defeat host West Chester University, 2-1, on a soggy Sunday afternoon at Vonnie Gros Field.
West Chester (3-6) played a strong game against Rutgers (3-7) on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Fiorilla registered her second assist of the season on Adams’ first goal of the year.
Rutgers received both its goals from Nicole Gentile, the first in the 41st minute just five minutes after West Chester had gone on top. The second goal came with 26 seconds remaining in the game.
