Seniors Marissa Wisniewski, Maggie Bornhorst (pictured) and Shannon Shippey combined for 13 points, helping the Philadelphia University women's lacrosse team to a 17-8 win at Wilmington University on Saturday afternoon.  Wisniewski paced the team with five points, collecting two goals and three assists, while Bornhorst and Shippey netted four goals apiece as the Lady Rams improve to 2-1 on the season.

The host Wildcats tallied the first goal of the game at the 26:49 mark, but senior Allison Kessler tied the score just a minute later and Head Coach Jen Devinney's team extended the lead with goals from sophomore Lauren Woodie and Bornhorst for a 3-1 advantage.  After Wilmington trimmed the lead to 3-2 with 15:55 remaining in the opening frame, the Lady Rams answered with goals from Bornhorst and Wisniewski, ultimately taking an 10-4 lead at the half.

In the second half, Wisniewski and Shippey opened the scoring and the Lady Rams never looked back, maintaining at least a six-goal margin the rest of the way.  In net, sophomore Kelly Staerk finished with 16 saves in 50:00 minutes of action for Philadelphia University before giving way to fellow sophomore Katherine Sullivan, who recorded one save.

Devinney and her team will return to action on Sunday, March 30th, hosting Bloomsburg University at Ravenhill Field.
