Rutgers-Camden Athletics

The outstanding defensive play of junior co-captain Kacie Walton helped the Rutgers University-Camden lacrosse team post wins over Penn State-Abington and Purchase March 14 and 15, marking the first time in program history the Scarlet Raptors won their first two games of the season. Walton effectively shut down the leading offensive threat on both teams as the Raptors beat PSU-Abington, 20-9, and Purchase, 19-7. Walton added three draw controls, one caused turnover and a team-high 10 ground balls in the opening two games. Early in her third year with the lacrosse team, Walton owns 46 career caused turnovers, 23 shy of the program record.
