LANCASTER, Pa. – The No. 9 Drexel women's squash team fell 5-4 to No. 6 Penn on Sunday afternoon to close out competition at the Pennsylvania State Classic.

MacGillivary defeated Meg Frantz, 11-7, 11-1, 15-13 while Power outlasted Clare Kearns, 11-3, 11-7, 5-3. With Penn not being able to field a player at the No. 9 spot, the Dragons already had three matches under their belt.

The match was poised at 4-4 with Ona Prokes 2-1 up in games in the No. 5 spot, however, her opponent used all her experience to comeback with strong performances in the 4th and 5th games taking the match for Penn.
