Lax Falls 18-8 to GCU, Takes #4 Seed for Playoffs

Philadelphia, PA- The Philadelphia University Lady Rams (7-10, 6-6 CACC) fell 18-8 to the Georgian Court University Lions (15-2, 12-0 CACC) on Tuesday afternoon at Ravenhill Field.  The loss gives PhilaU the #4 seed in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Tournament, where they will again face #1 seed GCU on Saturday (5/1) at 1:00 p.m., hosted by GCU.

While the Lady Rams were outshot 33-22 for the game, they stayed close to start things off as goals by sophomore Kalin Hodel (West Chester, OH/ Lakota West) and rookie Kelly Morgan (Zionsville, PA/ Emmaus) made it 2-2 just seven minutes into action.  Both Lady Rams had two scores on the day. 

 

GCU was ledy by Natalie Bermudez with four goals.  

 

GCU went on a 4-0 run from there, yet Hodel and sophomore attacker Taylor Peltzer (Holland, PA/ Archbishop Wood) added two more goals to trail 6-4 with 9:26 to go in the first half.  The Lions came up with nine unanswered goals that spanned half way into the second half to gain control and eventually the win. 

 

PhilaU trailed 9-4 at the half, waiting over 20 minutes into the second half to score (on a Peltzer free position shot) at 9:55.  The Lions managed to keep a running clock for most of the second stanza, and PhilaU fell 18-8 when all was said and done.

 

PhilaU senior goalie Kat Sullivan (Mt. Laurel, NJ/ Lenape) made 10 saves in the complete game, while GCU's Christine Latteri also made 10 stops and was relieved by Jill Pennington with five minutes to go.
