Philadelphia, PA- The Philadelphia University Lady Rams (5-1-3, 3-0 CACC) battled the West Chester University Golden Rams (6-1-1, 5-1 PSAC) to a 0-0 tie in double overtime Wednesday evening in women's soccer at Ravenhill Field. WCU, the No. 16 ranked team in the country, bombarded PhilaU with 27 shots to the Lady Ram's eight.

In the first half, WCU kept pressure on the PhilaU defense, playing a majority of the game in the PhilaU end.

As play moved into the second period, the PhilaU defense blunted the WCU attack but the Golden Rams still managed seven shots. 

In both overtime periods, PhilaU freshman keeper Kelli Kowalewski (Shamong, NJ/ Seneca) continued to keep WCU from leaving Ravenhill Field with a victory, making perhaps her finest save in the last seconds of the game on a breakaway. 

Junior Sara Redka (Williamsport, PA/ Williamsport Area) and freshman Melissa Copeland (Islip Terrace/East Islip) led the Lady Rams with two shots each. 

The Lady Rams fired eight shots at WCU goalkeeper Lyndsie Bernardini (five saves) in 110 minutes of play, while Kowalewski had 19 saves for PhilaU. 

PhilaU returns to action on Saturday (9/26) when they travel to take on Post University at 1:00 p.m.
