The Cougars added insurance late in the second half as Kendall Machak knocked home a goal after a failed clear attempt by the Scarlet Raider (1-7-1, 0-2 NJAC) defense. Senior Kayla Birth finished off the scoring on the afternoon as she took a soft serve from Coca in the box.
Keeper Lauren Healey made three stops in the shutout win. For Rutgers-Newark, Carvalho recorded eight saves in the loss.
