Philadelphia ended the season with a 6-6 conference record and 7-10 overall, but lost five consecutive contests to end the regular-season. They lost numerous nail-biters, including a 14-12 loss to Holy Family, a 10-8 loss to Chestnut Hill and a 13-12, overtime setback to Wilmington.

This season, Holy Family won four of their last five games to qualify for the tournament, finishing 8-4 in conference play and 9-6 overall.

Wilmington went 10-7 this season and 7-5 in conference play. The Wildcats will be making their second straight CACC Tournament appearance. They lost to Georgian Court in last season’s semi-final round.
