NEWARK, N.J. (October 1, 2015) – Ramapo College defeated Rutgers University-Newark by a score of 9-0 in a New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) women's tennis match Thursday evening. The contest began on The Golden Dome Courts but was moved to indoor courts at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) due to rain.
 
The Scarlet Raiders fall to 0-7 overall and 0-5 in the NJAC. Ramapo improves to 3-1 in the conference and 6-1 overall.
 
Ramapo earned an 8-0 win in No. 1 doubles play, with the Raiders picking up a game at No. 2 and No. 3. Juniors Kimberly Gonzalez and Kesha Patel played second for Rutgers-Newark with freshmen Emanuellie Romelus and classmate Kallah Masudi playing No. 3.
 
All the singles action was played like doubles – pro-sets to eight – due to the weather delay and change in venue. The Roadrunners won 8-0 at Nos. 1, 4 and 6, with freshman Urvi Shah taking a game at No. 2, senior captain Jamie Lee Buhain taking a game at No. 3 and Patel doing the same in the fifth flight.
 
R-N will look for its first win of the season when it hosts Western Connecticut State University Friday at The Golden Dome Courts. Opening serve is slated for 2:30 p.m.
