Philadelphia - Drexel will be playing to avenge a Feb. 4 loss at Towson when the Dragons host the Tigers tonight at 7:00 p.m. at the DAC. Both teams will be doing their part to fight cancer by wearing pink as part of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's PinkZone night. The annual promotion is designed to help raise awarness of breast cancer, as well as bring in funds for the American Cancer Society to help find a cure for the disease. Fans wearing pink will receive discounted $3 tickets with proceeds going to the American Cancer Society. Pink-clad patrons will also be elegible to win prizes from AT&T and the first 200 students in attendance will receive pink DAC Pack tee-shirts. Fans will also have the chance to be a part of Philadelphia history tonight as Drexel senior Gabriela Marginean goes for the all-time city scoring record, she needs just seven points to surpass the mark set by Penn's Diana Caramanico in 2001.
On the court, coaches and players will be sporting pink apparel while the Dragons and Tigers reprise a 53-48 Towson victory in Maryland on Feb. 4. For Drexel, the loss snapped a six-game winning streak and was the first of two straight setbacks for the Dragons. Halenia Snowden led the Tigers in that contest with 21 points on 10-for-14 shooting from the floor. Marginean led the Dragons with 28 points, despite spending a portion of the second half on the bench in foul trouble. The disparity that led most directly to Towson's victory was on the boards, where the Tigers out-worked Drexel 51-24 in carom collecting.
Coming into tonight's game, the second-place Dragons have won two straight contests, including a thrilling 70-62 come-from-behind victory at Virginia Commonwealth on Sunday. Marginean has posted double-double performances in her last three games, including a 29-point, 11-rebound performance in Richmond. She will be shooting for the city scoring mark, 2,415 points, which was set in 2001. The Dragons will also be playing to extend their homecourt CAA winning streak which is now at 20 consecutive games.
Since Towson's win over Drexel on Feb. 4, the Tigers' have won four straight contests, including a road win at William & Mary in their last game on Sunday. Shanae Baker-Brice hit two free throws with six seconds left to help her team hold off the Tribe 63-60. She also led the team with 23 points and four steals in the win.
