This afternoon, the Philadelphia University women's soccer team, fresh off of garnering head coach George Dunbar his 100th career win, earned a hard-fought 2-1 double overtime victory against Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) rival Wilmington University at Ravenhill Field. The Lady Rams opened scoring in the 22nd minute as Melissa McMullen (shown) tallied her third goal of the season on a lead pass from Rebecca Kennedy who was credited with her first assist of the year. The score was 1-0 at halftime as the Rams outshot the Wildcats 8-0 in the opening period.

In the 68th minute, the CACC's leading scorer, Begum Malali, tied the game for Wilmington when she put home a deflection from a corner kick.  The goal was the first one yielded by Philadelphia University in conference play this season.  The game then went into overtime as the Lady Rams kept the pressure on the Wildcats, finishing the contest with a sizeable 18-3 advantage in shots.

However, the margin of victory turned out to be a converted penalty kick in the 106th minute from senior Brianna Reinford, which stands as her team-leading seventh goal of the season.  The victory moves the Lady Rams to 10-4 for the year, and they remain an unblemished 8-0 in CACC action.  Next up for the women's soccer team is a CACC road match at Felician College in Rutherford, N.J., this Saturday, October 20th at 1:00 p.m.
