The female students were not sexually assaulted. They are probably shaken though by the shock of having an unknown male awaken them in the middle of the night.

One of the women awakened to find an unknown man in her bed. This occurred at about 4:30 a.m. When she started screaming he ran out of the room. The other female student woke up to the feel of someone shaking her by the shoulders. She watched him escape from her room as she was waking up.
