Towson, Md. - Anthony Bafile found the net in the 71st minute with a 30-yard blast and Drexel's defense made it hold up for a 1-0 victory over conference rival Towson (5-3, 1-1 CAA). Bafile's tally ended Drexel's (3-4-2, 1-1 CAA) six-match winless skid and also put an end to Towson's four-match winning streak entering the contest. Keeper Cory Robertson made three saves to pick up his second shutout of the season and help his team to its first CAA victory of the year.
In a rivalry whose spirit has been rekindled in recent matches, the Dragons and the Tigers played tight match through 70 minutes. The teams were even in shots 11-11 and the Dragons earned the only corner kick of the match in the first half. Drexel six shots on goal to Towson's three, forcing the Tigers' keeper John Steele to make five saves in the contest.
Bafile's tally was the first of the season for the junior who led Drexel in both goals and assists last season.
The Dragons are back in action next Wednesday when they return to Vidas Field for a 7:00 p.m. match against regional rival Delaware.
