MAHWAH, NJ – Sophomore Elena Morge was the only Rutgers-Newark player with a hit in each game as Ramapo got back-to-back three-hit pitching performances on its way to a 9-1 and 8-0 New Jersey Athletic Conference sweep at the Ramapo Athletic Center.

Morge singled to centerfield with two out in the fourth inning of game one to plate senior second baseman Shauna Gallagher, who had reached on a lead-off single, for the Scarlet Raiders' only run of the day. A fifth-inning single by senior catcher Nikki Spampinato was the other Rutgers-Newark hit against senior righthander Katie Norton. Norton struck out four and walked just one to run her record to 8-3.

In game two, Morge doubled with two out in the first in front of a single by senior shortstop Charlotte Labate to give the Raiders their only scoring threat against freshman Deanna Giordano (6-1). But, after getting a ground ball to get out of the first, Giordano allowed only a one-out single to freshman centerfielder Jessica Zelaya the rest of the way. Zelaya was erased on a double play as the rookie pitcher faced the minimum of 12 batters over the final four innings.

The Roadrunners (25-7, NJAC 9-3), ranked 11th in the nation, totaled 17 hits in the two five-inning games with freshman outfielder Rachel Wong collecting five hits on the day.

Rutgers-Newark (4-28, NJAC 0-12) travels to St. Joseph's of Patchogue on Thursday for a 5 p.m. non-conference doubleheader.
