Box Score
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - Philadelphia University battled West Chester to a 0-0 tie in double overtime Wednesday evening in a non-league women's soccer match 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 (6-1-1) kept pressure on the PhilaU (5-1-3) 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 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.
The Lady Rams fired eight shots at WCU goalkeeper Lyndsie Bernardini, who made five saves in recording her fifth shutout of the season. Kowalewski had 19 saves for PhilaU.
West Chester returns to action on Saturday at noon for a PSAC West crossover match against Clarion at the South Campus Field.
