Clermont, FL- The Lady Rams dropped two games to Southern Connecticut 3-0 and 5-4 before falling in the night-cap to Merrimack 5-1 in Florida.  Freshman utility player Sara Romano (Harrisburg, PA/ Central Dauphin) led PhilaU at the plate with a two-RBI triple in the second game to SCSU.

In game three's 5-1 loss to Merrimack the Lady Rams were shutdown by MC's ace Melissa Gagnon-who threw an 11 strikeout win.  PhilaU got their only run from junior outfielder Kristin Loughery's (Phoenixville, PA/ Phoenixville) RBI double, driving in junior Kristin Giamatteo (Bellmore, NY/Wellington Mepham).
