NEWARK, Del. – An overtime goal from Chloe Pachuilo just 21 seconds into the extra frame got the Drexel Dragons (10-8, 2-4 CAA) a road win to wrap-up the 2014 campaign. The Delaware Blue Hens (11-8, 4-2) held a 14-6 shot and 10-1 penalty corner advantage on the afternoon.

It was more of the same in the second half with the Dragons defense once again keeping the Blue Hens off the scoreboard despite them having the majority of chances. Allyson Fuller made a defensive save at the 38:14 mark to keep the game scoreless. The senior did the same in the 55th minute on a Peet shot.
