Rutgers will have to sweat out another Selection Sunday. This time, at least, the Scarlet Knights will do so on a winning note.

Freshman Kieran Mullins scored his third goal on the first possession of overtime to lift No. 16 Rutgers to a 12-11 win over No. 3 Ohio State in its regular season finale Saturday in Piscataway, N.J.

The Scarlet Knights (10-4) solidified their case for an at-large bid despite not qualifying for the upcoming Big Ten tournament. They came into Saturday with the No. 12 RPI and No. 14 strength of schedule, numbers that certainly will be boosted by the victory over the Buckeyes.

Rutgers' margin might decrease if a team like Albany or Denver loses in its conference tournament, but for now, the Scarlet Knights' prospects look solid. They last played in the NCAA tournament in 2004.

MARYLAND HAMMERS HOPKINS

Ohio State's loss meant Saturday's night's showdown between rivals Maryland and Johns Hopkins would determine the No. 1 seed the Big Ten tournament next weekend in Columbus, Ohio. The No. 5 Terps seized the spot with authority, riding Tewaaraton candidate Matt Rambo to a 12-5 win over the No. 10 Blue Jays in front of 14,353 fans in College Park.

Rambo factored in six first-half goals as Maryland jumped out to a 9-1 lead. He finished with three goals and four assists, as the Terps shot 12-for-37, compared to 5-for-27 for the Blue Jays.

With the win, Maryland avoids having to play host Ohio State in the Big Ten semifinals. Instead, the top-seeded Terps will meet fourth-seeded Penn State, with the second-seeded Buckeyes taking on third-seeded Johns Hopkins.

TEAT, CORNELL GO OUT ON HIGH NOTE

Jeff Teat capped off a brilliant rookie season with a trifecta – a single-game freshman scoring record, a single-season freshman scoring mark, and a win over archrival Princeton. His 12-point day led the Big Red to an 18-17 shootout victory over the No. 13 Tigers, giving Cornell its first win over a ranked opponent this season and sending the home team into the offseason with five wins in its final eight games.

Teat posted five goals and seven assists on the day to record the third-highest single-game point total in Cornell history while surpassing Rob Pannell's first-year mark of 67 with his final tally of 72. His 12 points are the most recorded by a Big Red player in 40 years, matching Tim Goldstein's mark of 12 points vs. Hobart in 1987, and he did it with Goldstein in the crowd cheering on the Big Red.  

Teat also won the head-to-head matchup with the nation's top-scoring rookie, Princeton's Michael Sowers, who holds the Ivy League record for points in a season by a freshman with 77 and counting after a seven-point day himself (three goals, four assists).

Jake McCulloch had a career-high six goals, including the game-winner with 2:24 to play, and Christian Knight made 10 saves, none bigger than his stop on Austin Sims at the buzzer to cap off a wild final five minutes.

TOWSON SENIORS DELIVER

Seniors accounted for all of Towson's scoring Saturday, as the No. 13 Tigers defeated No. 9 Hofstra 10-8 to lock up the top seed and hosting rights for the CAA tournament.

Tyler Young scored four goals and Joe Seider added three. Towson trailed 4-3 in the second quarter, but rallied with six straight goals to take control of the game. The Tigers blanked the Pride in the third quarter.

HARVARD SPOILS YALE'S PERFECT IVY SEASON

Morgan Cheek scored two goals and dished out four assists and Robert Shaw made 19 saves to lead Harvard to a 9-8 upset of No. 11 Yale, spoiling the Bulldogs' bid for their first perfect Ivy League campaign since 1956.

The Crimson (6-7, 2-4 Ivy League) erased two four-goal deficits and overcame a six-point day by Yale's Ben Reeves (three goals, three assists).

The Bulldogs (8-5, 5-1) had already secured the top seed in the Ivy League tournament and clinched the regular season title outright with Princeton's loss to Cornell.

AIR FORCE IS TOP SEED IN SOCON

Air Force defeated High Point 16-11 and No. 13 Richmond handled Furman 13-4 on Saturday, putting the Falcons, Spiders and Paladins in a three-way tie for first place in the Southern Conference with 6-1 conference marks. Air Force earned the top seed for the conference tournament with a tiebreaker. Richmond is the predetermined host of the tournament.

VIRGINIA'S SEASON ENDS WITH A WHIMPER

Penn defeated No. 20 Virginia for the second time this season, using a 5-1 run bridging the second and third quarters en route to a 17-11 victory in the showcase game of the ACC tournament in Durham, N.C. Adam Goldner scored a career-high five goals for the Quakers, who will play Yale in the Ivy League semifinals next week.

The Cavaliers finished 8-7 in Lars Tiffany's first season as the coach. "The University of Virginia Lacrosse program has too proud of a history for our staff to settle for anything less than exceptional lacrosse," Tiffany said. "We did not achieve this in 2017."
