UNC only trailed one other time the rest of the night and cruised to its third straight a 3-0 win.
The victory gave UNC (11-1) a two-game sweep of the 2002 Carolina/Duke Classic. The Tar Heels defeated Georgetown 3-1 on Friday night.
The win against Rutgers (9-3) was Joe Sagula's 250th as coach at UNC. Overall, he is 250-158 in 13 seasons.
Sagula said he was more concerned about the team maintaining its high level of success than individual achievements.
"To me, it's more important that we just keep winning this year -- 250 just means I've been coaching a long time," he said.
The Tar Heels came out sharp in the match Saturday, capitalizing on Rutgers' sloppy play. The Scarlet Knights committed 12 errors in the first game, as UNC rolled to a 30-18 win. Laura Greene led the way, collecting eight digs and five kills.
In the second game, UNC faced its only other deficit of the night, falling behind early, 3-5. But the Tar Heels rallied to win 9 of the next 11 points en route to a 30-25 victory.
The third game was plagued by sloppy play on both sides. Rutgers committed 16 errors, and UNC made 13. But it was an attack error that clinched the match for UNC.
In UNC's 10-2 run against Rutgers, Aletha Green had three of her game-high five kills, but it was six Knight errors that powered the run.
