Rowan pulled away in a 79-second span after the break. Darah Wagner made it 3-0 at 65:24 and then played facilitator, lifting a long ball behind the defense that was finished off by Daria Jones at 66:43.

Newark freshman Jill McCourt forced a save in the 72^nd while Ceballos and rookie Sabrina Fiordaliso each also tested the goalie before the visitors finally earned their best chance.

A foul in the box brought Ceballos to the spot in the 84^th minute and the veteran delivered, beating the keeper to make it 4-1.
