The Scarlet Raiders opened up their first Continental Volleyball Conference (CVC) match with an impressive 25-15 win over the 11th-ranked Juniata College Eagles. Rutgers-Newark jumped out to a 3-1 lead before the Eagles knotted it up at 5-5. After an attacking error by Zaleck to make the score 13-10, the Scarlet Raiders woke up and aided by attacking errors by Juniata, extended their lead to 19-12. Zaleck, set up by Tuohy, put away the first set by securing two of the final three points for the win. 

Rutgers-Newark opened the second set slower than they did the first and trailed 6-3 before rallying to take a 14-12 lead. Both teams traded points for the remainder of the set until it looked as though the Scarlet Raiders were going to take a 2-0 lead over Juniata. Holding a 24-22 lead, the Scarlet Raiders' offense went silent as the Eagles scored four straight points to level the match at one. 

On their home court, the Eagles would not see themselves fall behind 2-1 as they once again made it a set down the stretch. Down 24-23, Daniel Quay evened the score at 24 before the Eagles took the lead. Zaleck once again secured a kill for his team, however, the Scarlet Raiders were outdone as they fell behind 2-1 on the road. 

With three sets already recorded in the opening match, both teams knew how the other would attack which made for an extremely competitive fourth set. Neither team was able to gain a foothold until the very end and when that team saw their opportunity, they seized it. After an attacking error gave the Scarlet Raiders a 24-21 lead they all but had the set wrapped up until the Eagles gained some momentum and scored two straight points. Rutgers-Newark was not to be outdone and held on to even the match at two.     

In the fifth and final set, the Scarlet Raiders had to battle from an 11-7 deficit led by a pair of kills from Kumar. Zaleck tied the set at 13 before a pair of errors by Juniata gave the match to the Scarlet Raiders.

The Scarlet Raiders battled back to even the second match at two when Kumar pushed Rutgers-Newark over the edge with a kill. 

In the fifth set, the teams drew level at 11 before an attacking error by the Scarlet Raiders gave Juniata a lead they would not surrender.
