They celebrated another highly-successful season as they ended the campaign with an 8-2 record overall and a 4-2 mark in the New Jersey Athletic Conference, and they celebrated another sweep as they blanked Rutgers-Newark, 9-0, in NJAC action.
 
Over the past two fall semesters, the Scarlet Raptors have posted records of 8-1 and 8-2, respectively, while going 5-1 and 4-2 in NJAC play. Rutgers-Camden ended its Fall 2018 semester with seven straight wins and upped the ante this semester, winning its last eight fall matches.

After posting a 5-4 victory over Goucher College for their first win of the season Sept. 8, Rutgers-Camden won six of their final seven matches by a 9-0 score, including the final three over a four-day span from Friday through Monday. The only non-sweep in that span was an 8-1 victory over Ramapo College Sept. 21.
 
Rutgers-Camden jumped off to a quick start by sweeping its doubles competition against the Scarlet Raiders, who dropped to 2-6 overall and 1-4 in NJAC play. Lemma and sophomore Tiffany Trivers combined to post an 8-2 victory at first doubles, while the second and third doubles teams won, 8-0. Hawn teamed with sophomore LeAnne Hall at second doubles and sophomore Morgan Dempsey paired with freshman Laurel DiStefano at the third spot.
 
Hawn won her match at first singles, 6-0, 6-0, while Trivers captured her competition at the second singles spot by scores of 6-1, 6-1. DiStefano capped a terrific day with a 6-0, 6-0 victory at third singles, only a few hours after earning honors as the NJAC Rookie of the Week.
