Senior midfielder Allison Kessler and sophomore midfielder Kathleen Maurer registered four goals apiece for Philadelphia University, leading the Lady Rams to an 18-7 win over St. Anselm (N.H.) College in women' lacrosse action on Sunday afternoon.  The win, which comes in the Lady Rams' season opener, gave first-year Head Coach Jenn Devinney her first career victory with the program.

After the visiting Hawks took a 1-0 lead on a goal by junior attacker Michaela Rocha less than a minute in the contest, Devinney's squad would score four of the next five goals to take a 4-2 lead midway through the opening frame.  Freshman midfielder/attacker Emily Traicoff narrowed the Philadelphia University gap to 4-3, but the Lady Rams responded with seven straight goals including three by Maurer during the stretch.

In the second half, the Hawks opened the scoring once again on Rocha's second goal of the game, but six straight tallies by the Lady Rams all, but sealed the victory.  In goal, sophomore Kelly Staerk finished with 11 saves for Philadelphia University while freshman Katherine O'Hara registered eight saves for St. Anselm.
