Rowan Wins 4th Straight NJAC Regular-Season Crown with 6-0 Win at Montclair State
Monday, November 04, 2024
Freshman Jenna Gray also had a goal and assist as Rowan (12-7) increased its winning streak to eight and finished conference play undefeated (6-0). Mariah Juiliano made two saves to post her fifth shutout of the season and Palumbo wasted no time in getting the Profs on track for the title as she scored a pair of goals in the game's first three minutes, within 20 seconds of each other. She tallied the first at 2:22 and then tacked on the second at 2:49.
Gray upped the score to 3-0 just minutes later, at 5:25, as she scored an unassisted goal, followed by a goal from Kaylee Wenzel at 8:48 to give Rowan a 4-0 lead by the end of the first quarter.
The Profs held that margin until the third quarter, when Gracie Merrick added one at 31:23, with the assist from Kylie Elwell.
Rowan's final goal came at 50:50 in the fourth quarter, as Gray sent a pass to Lily Bataloni.
Rowan will host the NJAC Semifinal on Wednesday vs Stockton at 6 p.m.
