Ewing, NJ... The College of New Jersey field hockey team remained perfect both overall and against conference opponents as the Lions posted a 6-0 shutout over visiting Ramapo College on Tuesday.
 
The win bumped top-ranked TCNJ to 12-0 and they are 3-0 against New Jersey Athletic Conference competition. The loss dropped the Roadrunners to 1-12 overall and 0-3 in league play.
 
The Lions opened the scoring 2:41 into the game as senior Alicia Wagner (Hopewell, NJ/Hopewell Valley) popped in her own rebound for a 1-0 lead.
 
Junior Danielle Andreula (New Egypt, NJ/New Egypt) made it 2-0 just over six minutes later when her shot from the near side found its way into the net.
 
TCNJ added one more goal before the half as junior Jaclyn Douglas (Malvern, PA/Great Valley) knocked in a crossing pass from freshman Elizabeth Morrison (Stonington, CT/Stonington). That goal came 1:41 after Andreula's goal.
 
In the second half, the hosts added three more goals as junior Lexi Smith (Florence, NJ/Florence Twp.), Wagner and sophomore Lauren O'Keefe (Allendale, NJ/Northern Highlands) each scored.
 
TCNJ's Kelly Schlupp (Holland, PA/Council Rock South) and Christina Fabiano (Wayne, NJ/Wayne Hills) shared the shutout as the defense in front of them did not allow a shot.
