Rowan shot over 60% in the first quarter, storming out to a 28-6 after the first 10 minutes. Holt led the attack with a trio of three-pointers in the stanza. After taking a 37-17 lead into halftime, the Profs hit on 45% in the third and would limit the Scarlet Raptors to just eight points in the final quarter en route to the victory.
Rahzirah Blocker led Rutgers-Camden with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Teammate Jalissa Pitts contributed 15 points and eight caroms.
The home team held a 57-43 rebound advantage, led by a career-high eight boards from Shayla Johnson, who also tied a personal best with eight points.
