After the Roadrunners notched the first field goal of the game, the Scarlet Raptors opened up an 8-4 lead before Ramapo rattled off 13 straight points, sparked by back-to-back three-point plays by junior guard Kerrie Kosakowski (Bayonne, NJ/Bayonne), who was fouled twice on field goals and tacked on the free throw both times.

Kosakowski's second three-point play gave Ramapo a 10-8 lead with 9:19 left in the half and the Roadrunners increased the margin to 17-8 before Rutgers-Camden battled back. The Scarlet Raptors scored the last five points of the half – four coming on a three-pointer and foul shot by junior guard Alex Gravinese (Audubon, NJ/Audubon) – to cut the deficit to 25-23 at the break.

Kosakowski and senior forward Micaela Moore (Lindenwold, NJ/Lindenwold) had six points apiece for Ramapo in the opening half, while Gravinese had seven to lead the Scarlet Raptors.

In a game that featured 11 ties, and had 10 lead changes in the second half, junior guard Jackie Jerkovich (Secaucus, NJ/Academy of the Holy Angels) scored 13 of her team-high 17 points after halftime for the Roadrunners. Jerkovich tied for game-high scoring honors with the Scarlet Raptors' Lewis and Gravinese, who also notched 17 points apiece.
