EWING, N.J. – Behind massive performances from Marissa Lucca, Kelly Nevins, and Emily Potenza, the No. 18 TCNJ women's lacrosse team rolled to a 20-1 NJAC victory over Ramapo on Saturday.
 
Lucca finished with seven goals and four assists in her second consecutive double-figure point effort, while Nevins racked up six goals and three assists and Potenza coupled four goals with two assists for the Lions (12-2, 3-0).
 
TCNJ scored 10 goals in the first quarter to get the rout started. Lucca scored twice around a marker by Nevins, and Potenza added a fourth inside the first five minutes of action.
 
Nevins assisted on goals by Lucca and Abbie Teefy, then Lucca finished a feed from Ella Okurowski to make it 7-0. Two more goals from Nevins and a second by Potenza started the running clock with a 10-0 lead and just over a minute to play in the opening frame.
 
Lucca added another goal and a pair of assists – both to Potenza – as TCNJ scored five more in the second quarter to take a 15-0 lead into halftime.
 
Nevins and Lucca potted third-period goals, Lucca's a stunning behind-the-back effort that rocketed into the top right corner of the cage.
 
Lucca and Sieja then assisted on each other's goals to make it 19-0 early in the fourth. The Roadrunners (5-9, 0-3) ended the shutout bid with their lone goal at the 7:51 mark, and Nevins ended the scoring with 5:30 to go.
