Senior Marin Gjoca, juniors Christien Vlahinich and Jeff Vazquez, sophomores Tom King, Richie Villamar and Mike Trenard, and freshman Jervis Witherspoon each netted goals as Rutgers-Newark (6-3-3) dominated play. Vlahinich, Gjoca, Villamar, Trenard and Vazquez each added an assist as the Raiders equaled their top goal output of the season.

Freshman goalkeeper Andrew Brown made six of his 13 saves in the opening period to keep things close, but the volume of Raider opportunities finally broke open the contest.
