Philadelphia extends its winning streak to nine as it improves its overall record to 9-1 and stays perfect in CACC play at 7-0.

Hartman's 11 points, which consisted of five goals and a career-high six assists, are the most by a Rams player this season—surpassing Liz Mower's (Harleysville, Pa./Souderton Area) 10 points against Holy Family on March 20.

Senior midfielder Libby Nichols (Ellicott City, Md./McDonogh) filled her stat line with five goals, one assist, five draw controls, three ground balls, and three caused turnovers.

Junior attack Allison Brian (Lancaster, Pa./Hempfield) contributed two goals and one assist. Junior attack Elizabeth Marrosu (Flemington, N.J./Immaculata), sophomore midfielder Katelynn Parent (Millville, N.J./Millville), freshman midfielder Isabella DiGnazio (Pittsburgh, Pa./Peters Twp.), and grad student midfielder Kristen Blye (Chester Springs, Pa./Downingtown East) all added a goal.

Senior defender Melissa Styer (Severna Park, Md./Severna Park) had a game-high eight ground balls.

Rebekah McCurry led the Wildcats with three goals, four ground balls, and three draw controls. Megan Keffer recorded two goals, five ground balls, four draw controls, and two caused turnovers.

Both goalkeepers were very busy as Wilmington's Corinne Dries made 13 saves and Philadelphia junior Kristen Moran () stopped 12 shots.

The contest was never in doubt as Philadelphia scored the first six goals of the afternoon.

Hartman played a big role in helping the Rams build their lead as she assisted on goals by Marrosu and Blye, and then scored the team's fourth and fifth goals. Brian's first goal of the game at the 13:48 mark made it a 6-0 affair.

Wilmington outscored Philadelphia 3-1 over a 5:12 to span to trim the Rams' advantage to 7-3 on Keffer's first goal with 7:02 left in the half.

The teams swapped the final four goals of the half to allow Philadelphia to a 9-5 lead into halftime.

Back-to-back goals from Nichols got Philadelphia off to a strong second-half start and pushed the lead back up to six (11-5). After DiGnazio scored her first collegiate goal, Hartman struck for the fourth time with 11:36 left to make the score 13-5.

Parent scored Philadelphia's final goal at the 1:11 mark to give the team a game-high 10-goal lead (16-6).

McCurry scored both of Wilmington's second half goals.

The Rams owned a 34-23 shot advantage.
