HISTORY

The most recent meetup on Feb. 21, 2020 ended in overtime as Drexel extended its winning streak to 12 games last year. Keishana Washington tied a game high of 25 points in the effort, including 10 points in overtime.
LAST TIME OUT
The Dragons were on the road at La Salle on Wednesday night. Drexel was led in scoring by Washington, who finished with 16 points, six rebounds and four assists. For the fourth-straight game and longest in her career, Maura Hendrixson put up double figures with 11 points. Hannah Nihill finished the game with nine points and led the Dragons in assists with six.
LEADING SCORERS
Nihill leads the Dragons, averaging 14.1 points per game, followed by Washington (13.0) and Kate Connolly (8.1) through seven contests.
LAST SEASON
Drexel claimed a share of the CAA regular-season crown and the No. 1 seed in the CAA Tournament with a 16-2 record a year ago and reached the 20-win plateau (23-7) for the fifth time in the past six seasons.
LOOKING AT THE OPPONENT
William & Mary has a 4-5 record and a 1-3 mark in the CAA. The Tribe is looking to bounce back after losing twice to Delaware this past weekend. Sydney Wagner, the Tribe's leading scorer, finished with 11 points on Saturday and 31 points (seven three-pointers) on Sunday. The Tribe average 57.2 points per game while shooting .361 from the floor. #1 Wagner averages 20.9 points followed by #11 Nyla Pollard (9.1) and #20 Bre Bellamy (5.3).
