Orangeburg, NY- Philadelphia University senior forward Kate Brennan (Stratford, NJ/ Sterling) and freshman forward Christine Wooding (Northfield, NJ/ Mainland) each notched game-highs of 14 points as the Lady Rams (7-8, 5-2) edged Dominican College (9-7, 6-2 CACC) 59-43 on Saturday afternoon at the Hennessey Center.  Wooding added 10 boards for the day's only double-double.

PhilaU made twice as many shots from field goal range (44%-22%) and also hit the boards harder (43-36).

DC led in the first half until a 19-19 stalemate was broken on a lay-up from Wooding, and PhilaU never looked back. PhilaU freshman forward Taylor Peltzer (Holland, PA/ Archbishop Wood) sealed a three-point play with 1:31 to go, and the Lady Rams led by a hair 27-25 at the break.  Peltzer chipped in 10 points and five rebounds on the day.

The Lady Rams went on a 15-4 run in the second half to pull ahead 42-19 at13:11, followed by a two-team offensive dry-spell for nearly five minutes.

PhilaU sophomore guard Deanna Kelly (Lafayette Hill, PA/ Archbishop Carroll) hit a three-ball (her only points of the night) with five seconds left to package the 59-43 road win for Coach Shirley's squad.

PhilaU returns to action at home on Tuesday (1/26) in a 6 p.m. contest vs. the University of the Sciences in the Gallagher Athletic Center.
