Philadelphia, PA- Junior center Jess Romano (Hatboro-Horsham, PA/ Hatboro) scored her 1,000th point and totaled 21 points and 10 boards on the night, but the Philadelphia University Lady Rams (6-5, 2-1 CACC) dropped a 65-54 non-conference contest to the Millersville University Marauders (8-1, 0-0 PSAC) on Tuesday night.
