Gabriela Marginean led the Dragons with 27 points, eight rebounds, four assists and four steals. Delaware&rsquo;s Elena Delle Donne led the Hens with 30 points and nine rebounds, none larger than an offensive board that led to a put-back layup in overtime, completing Delaware&rsquo;s comeback. Drexel rallied from a 11-point deficit to force overtime against Delaware for the third time in as many meetings this season. The Dragons also scored the first five points in overtime, but saw that lead vanish in the waning minutes of the loss. ]]></description><enclosure url="http://www.drexeldragons.com/images/2010/3/12/rp_primary_Marginean-web-3-12-10.gif" length="115089" type="image/gif" /><pubDate>Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:12:24 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Dragons to Face Delaware in CAA Quarterfinals on Friday </title><link>http://www.drexeldragons.com/news/2010/3/11/WBB_0311104921.aspx</link><guid>http://www.drexeldragons.com/news/2010/3/11/WBB_0311104921.aspx</guid><category>Women's Basketball</category><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.drexeldragons.com/images/2010/3/11/rp_primary_Drexel-Delaware-web-3-13-10.gif" /><br /><br />Harrisonburg, Va. - Drexel will begin defense of its CAA Tournament title on Friday at 2:30 against the Delaware Blue Hens.
