Junior midfielder
Cristina Nasti (Montclair Kimberley Academy/Verona, N.J.) increased the margin to 5-0 with her first goal of the season off a Cascio feed with 17:40 remaining before a pair of Cascio goals just 90 seconds apart gave Philadelphia University a 7-0 lead.
With 7:47 remaining, junior defender
Hannah Palese (Haddon Heights H.S./Haddon Heights, N.J.) scored her second goal of the season off an assist from Graus.
While Cascio led the Rams with her seven-point effort, Ferro contributed two goals and Nasti added a goal and an assist.
Aguirre made five saves for the Lightning, who were outshot by a 24-7 margin. The Rams also had a 4-2 advantage in corner kicks.
