Philadelphia, Pa. (1/19/15)  The Dominican College women's basketball squad lost a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) contest to host Philadelphia University, 78-66, this afternoon in a game played in the Gallagher Center on the campus of Philadelphia University. 

With the loss, Dominican falls to 7-10 overall and 5-3 in CACC play.

DC took the early 4-2 lead on a bucket from Stefani Alston* (West Orange, N.J.), but an 13-2 Ram run put them ahead 15-6 with 15:10 left in the half.

The Lady Chargers rallied with a 9-3 run of their own to cut the deficit to 20-17 on a Deja Gabbidon (Teaneck, N.J.) jumper and that would be as close as they would get in the first stanza as Philadelphia extended the lead to 43-30 at the break.

A Shannon McGill (Staten Island, N.Y.) basket early in the second half brought the Lady Chargers within seven points (43-36) but that would be as close as they would get as the Rams went on to win, 78-66.

Alston and McGill led Dominican with 13 points a-piece in the loss, with Alston adding seven rebounds.

Lashonda Hathorne* (Queens, N.Y.) finished with 10 points and a team leading eight caroms.
