Philadelphia University (9-4, 9-1) broke the scoreless stalemate on a great individual effort from junior midfielder Nicole Van Bourgondien (Southold, N.Y.), who fought through Chestnut Hill College (5-8, 5-3) defense to score from the left wing at 18:48, 1-0. The Lady Rams continued to control the pitch, building a 13-1 first half shot advantage and extending their lead to 2-0 just before halftime (44:03) on a connection between junior forward Andrea Curcio (Garnerville, N.Y.) and freshman forward Patrice Maro (Westmont, N.J.).
