NEWARK, NJ – Junior forward Patryk Dawidczyk turned in his first career hat trick to steal some of the thunder from two record-setting teammates as Rutgers-Newark rolled to a 7-0 win over New Jersey City on Alumni Field.

Junior forward Raphael Araujo, who entered the match as the total goals leader in NCAA Division III, took a lead pass from freshman forward Hubert Dul and netted the game winner on a nifty dribble-through drive just six minutes into the match to set a new Scarlet Raider season standard with his 19th goal. It was Araujo's fifth game winning goal and gave him one more than Jeff Vazquez netted for Rutgers-Newark in 2008. He also shattered the school points total mark of 40 set by Danny Lopes in 1994 on 16 goals and eight assists. Araujo now has 42 points in 16 matches.

Dawidczyk scored just 31 seconds after Araujo when freshman midfielder Anthony DeRisi sent a long through pass to Dul on the right six of the 18. Dul crossed the ball back to Dawidczyk in the middle for a putaway into the left side of the goal.

Dul then made it 3-0 in the 23rd minute when a through pass from beyond midfield by junior midfielder Bonny Londono bounced just wide of the diving goalkeeper on the right edge of the 18. Dul got to the ball ahead of a Gothic Knight defender and fired a shot into the empty right side of the goal.

DeRisi then etched his named in the Raider record book by sending a cross from the left side to Dawidczyk for a shot inside the right post in the 31st minute. DeRisi, who notched an assist for the seventh straight match, upped his season total to 11 – one better than the old mark shared by Wilson Cusano (1989) and Robert Campos (2008).

After junior forward Nick Bucciero scored just 47 seconds into the second half on a feed from Dawidczyk, Dawidczyk finished his outburst by heading a loose ball in the box into the right side of the goal following a Raider throw in in the 61st minute. It was Dawidczyk's ninth goal of the campaign.

New Jersey City (6-7-1, NJAC 2-4-0) suffered an own goal in the final minute of play.

Sophomore goalkeeper Matt Broomall needed to make just one save in each half to register his fourth shutout victory of the season. Gothic Knight junior Reuben Morales made two saves while giving up six goals in the first 63 minutes before freshman Nick Nardone came on to make three saves.

Rutgers-Newark piled up a 19-6 edge in shots while taking three of the match's four corner kicks.

Both squads emptied their benches early in the runaway.

The Raiders are 3-0-1 in their last four matches, including 2-0-1 in New Jersey Athletic Conference contests. The win lifted Rutgers-Newark into a fourth place tie with The College of New Jersey in the battle for one of six post-season championship playoffs berth in the 10-team league.

Rutgers-Newark (12-3-1) travels to Rowan University (8-7-0, NJAC 2-4-0) on Saturday for a 7 p.m. NJAC match.
