Houseknecht Tallies Five Hits in Doubleheader Against Brooklyn

BROOKLYN, NY | The Scarlet Raiders softball squad picked up its first two wins of the season on Friday night against Brooklyn College.

The Scarlet Raiders wasted no time scoring runs in game two, tallying three behind an RBI double from Houseknecht. Kalyna Figol brought home the following runs with a single to put three runs on the board in the first inning. Brooklyn cut into the lead in the bottom of the frame with a run, however, Rutgers-Newark would close out the game by scoring 9 runs over the final three innings to secure its second win of the season.
