Montclair State University Athletics

Ruiz, the NJAC Rookie Pitcher of the Week, earns the honor after picking up the first two wins of her career. She entered the week having only pitched two innings (one save) this year, but threw 16.0 scoreless frames in three appearances. She worked the final two innings in a win over NJCU, and then tossed complete game shutouts against Staten Island and Rutgers-Camden. She allowed just four hits against CSI to break the Dolphins' 19-game winning streak. Ruiz then scattered eight hits helping the Red Hawks earn a split of its conference doubleheader with the Scarlet Raptors with a 3-0 victory. Ruiz maintains a 0.00 ERA in now 18.0 innings pitched this season.
