Camden, NJ (April 28, 2018) – In their final contest of the season, the Rutgers University-Camden women's lacrosse team honored their 7 departing seniors before they hosted the Roadrunners of Ramapo College in each team's last New Jersey Athletic Conference game of the year.

Rutgers-Camden jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead on a goal from junior midfielder Cara Racobaldo (Pennsauken, NJ, Camden Catholic), before Ramapo scored 4 straight. Both teams exchanged sets of goals twice, as Racobaldo again scored on an assist from senior attack Natalie DiCarlo (Sicklerville, NJ, Gloucester Catholic). Sophomore defender Kacie Walton (Columbus, NJ, Northern Burlington) then ran the length of the field in a fantastic individual effort to score and cut the Ramapo lead to 5-3. After another Roadrunner goal, the Scarlet Raptors scored 4 straight, fueled by 2 goals from Racobaldo, 1 from Walton, and another by senior midfielder Jessica Mayer (Cinnaminson, NJ, Cinnaminson).

When Ramapo scored their 12^th goal of the game at the 16:16 mark, it was too much for Rutgers-Camden to overcome, as they added 2 more goals at the end of the half from senior midfielders Nicole Martin (Delran, NJ, Delran) and Nicole Curry (Maple Shade, NJ, Camden Catholic). Racobaldo registered the assist on Martin's goal at 6:57.
