Rutgers roundup
For the second consecutive year, Rutgers junior running back Ray Rice has been named a Second Team All- American by the Walter Camp Football Foundation. The Walter Camp All-America team is selected by the head coaches and sports information directors of the 119 Football Bowl Subdivision schools and is the nation's oldest All-America team, now in its 118th year.
Ray Rice, a finalist for the Doak Walker Award which recognizes the top running back in the nation, became the first Scarlet Knight in 138 years of football to rush for three consecutive 1,000 yard seasons, including back-to-back 1,700 yard campaigns. He was also the first to rush for 20 touchdown seasons in consecutive seasons. For his career, Rice set the yardage mark in school history with 4,646 yards on the ground and has 24 100-yard games in 37 contests.
The Scarlet Knights return to action January 5, 2008 in the International Bowl vs. Ball State. Kickoff is set for 12 noon from the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario
with national television coverage on ESPN2. For complete information on Rutgers'
third straight bowl appearance and ticket information, visit RutgersBowl.com.
The Rutgers wrestling team, under the guidance of first-year coach Scott Goodale, fell to No. 23 Maryland 39-4 in College Park, Md., on Saturday afternoon. With the loss, the Scarlet Knights fell to 0-3, 0-1 in the EIWA, while Maryland improved to 7-3.
After two major decision wins gave the Terps an 8-0 advantage, redshirt senior Steve Adamcsik, ranked No. 19 in the 141- pound weight class, cut the lead in half with a 15-1 major decision over Jon Kohler. But Maryland would win the rest of the matches, despite close battles from Chris Norell, who lost in overtime 7-5 to Brian Letters, and Matt Rigoglioso, who fell 4-1 to Mike McGill.
The Scarlet Knights will next take to the mat after the New Year, on Jan. 4, when they host Wagner and Lock Haven at College Ave. Gym, starting at 3 p.m.
