GLASSBORO, N.J. (April 22, 2025) – Rutgers University-Camden senior left fielder Emily Dubiago collected her 100th career hit here Tuesday, but the nationally-ranked Rowan University softball team swept a New Jersey Athletic Conference doubleheader from the Scarlet Raptors, 9-1 in six innings and 9-2.
 
Rutgers-Camden fell to 4-29 overall and 2-14 in the conference. Rowan, ranked second nationally in Division III, improved to 37-1 overall and 15-1 in the NJAC.
 
Dubiago became the 15th player in program history to reach the 100-hit milestone with a two-run second-inning double in the nightcap. Senior first baseman Luci Hutchinson, meanwhile, collected her 99th career hit with a sixth-inning single in the opening game.
 
The Scarlet Raptors close their season Saturday when they host NJAC rival Rutgers-Newark in a 1 p.m. Senior Day doubleheader. Rutgers-Camden will celebrate a trio of seniors in Dubiago, Hutchinson and catcher Kendall Lafferty.
   
The Profs scored four runs on five hits in the bottom of the sixth inning to end the game on the eight-run mercy rule. A bases-loaded RBI single by senior center fielder McKenzie Melvin plated the ninth and final run.
 
Rowan scored a run in the first and two more in the second inning, which proved to be more than enough for senior pitcher Rylee Lutz, who three a seven-hitter, walking one and striking out two. She raised her record to 16-0, allowing only a run in the sixth inning, sparked by singles from freshman center fielder Ryleigh Lender and Hutchinson. Following a double play, sophomore designated hitter Devyn Jordan broke the shutout bid with an RBI single, plating Lender.
 
Jordan finished the game 3-for-3 with the one RBI, while Lender was 2-for-3 and scored the Raptors' lone run.
 
Rowan's 12-hit attack included two hits apiece by junior left fielder Abigail Pawlowski, senior second baseman Liz McCaffery, senior center fielder McKenzie Melvin, fifth-year shortstop Payton MacNair and junior catcher Katie Evick. Pawlowski collected three RBIs, including two on a second-inning single.
   
In the second game, a trio of Rowan pitchers held Rutgers-Camden to six hits and just the two runs doubled home by Dubiago in the second inning. That double gave Rutgers-Camden a short-lived 2-1 lead before the Profs scored three times in the bottom of the second inning. Pawlowski had a two-run double in that rally.
 
Melvin and both Payton MacNair and sophomore right fielder Zara MacNair had two hits apiece for the Profs.
 
Rutgers-Camden sophomore second baseman Madi Carr went 2-for-2.
 
Jordan finished the day going 4-for-5 with one run scored and one RBI, while Lender and Carr were both 2-for-5, with Lender scoring a run. Sophomore third baseman Alana Gannon went 2-for-6 with one run scored.
