The Dragons led the entire game, but the Bulldogs tied the score at 60-60 when Patrick Harding scored on a lay-up. The Dragons answered with six straight coming on a pair of three-pointers. Freshman Mate Okros gave Drexel the lead for good and Walton followed with another as the Dragons began to pull away, going on a 16-3 run down the stretch. Drexel finished the second half shooting six of 10 from behind the arc.

Charles Pride (25) and Adam Grant (24) combined for 49 of the Bulldogs 74 points. Pride was 11-for-17 from the floor. Harding had a game-high 15 rebounds. Bryant came into the game shooting averaging 11.6 three-pointers per game, but the Dragons limited the Bulldogs long-range attempts and held them to just one trey on the evening.

Drexel had a season-high 28 assists on 31 field goals and committed just nine turnovers. In the first half, when Drexel took a 10-point lead to the break, the Dragons committed just two miscues.

Drexel will be back in action on Monday a.m. at the DAC. The Dragons will face Rosemont on School Day at 11:30.
