Why did my canteloupe die?

I planted my canteloupe seedlings last weekend. They were strong and healthy. I kept them under a hot hat and gave them a branch to twine onto. Last Sunday I checked on them and they were fine. Sunday night and Monday we had some rain. Monday night they were lying flat on the dirt, all limp. Tonight they're no better. There's no bugs, no signs of disease. The temps didn't get below 50, and they were protected by hot hats, anyway. The zucchini seedlings only five feet away are fine. One's even beginning to bloom.

What happened?

Is it too late to start more canteloupe seedlings? It was Athena canteloupe, if that makes any difference.
