Philadelphia, PA- The Philadelphia University women's soccer team (9-3-3, 7-1 CACC) topped the Georgian Court University Lions (8-6, 6-2 CACC), 1-0 in double-overtime Tuesday evening at Ravenhill Field.

Junior midfielder Natalie Vespe (Acto, NJ/ St. Joseph) ended the scoreless deadlock on a penalty kick at the 107:58 mark, notching her first goal of the season to push the Lady Rams past the Lions 1-0.

As time ticked away and darkness descended on Ravenhill Field, a handball on GCU resulted in Vespe's PK, which she shot past the right side of Lions' goal keeper Lindsay Hammond and into the back corner of the net for the victory.

Throughout the second half and in overtime, PhilaU pressured Hammond, landing 15 shots on goal in the second period and two more in the second OT. Meanwhile, the Lady Rams' defense denied the Lions attack opportunities.

PhilaU.'s freshman goal keeper Kelli Kowalewski (Shamong, NJ/Seneca) turned away all seven of the Lions shots on goal (five in regulation one in each overtime period).

The Lady Rams will play the second game of a three-game home stand on Thursday (10/15) vs. Shippensburg University in a non-conference match up at 4:00 p.m. at Ravenhill Field.
