Dragons Close Out Season With Comeback Victory over Bucknell
10/31/2021 5:14:00 PM | Field Hockey
PHILADELPHIA – The Dragons closed out the 2021 season on a strong note with a comeback 2-1 victory over Bucknell University on Sunday afternoon. Drexel finished the year with a 6-14 record and finished in fifth place in the CAA with a 2-4 record.
Drexel honored the careers of its four seniors prior to the start of the game including Reilly Finegan, Sharri Kambesis, Hannah Nihill and Katie Ronan.
The Dragons and the Bison battled for points early but both defenses held strong through the first quarter. Despite outshooting Bucknell 11-4 through the first 30, the Bison found success in the 17th minute to take a 1-0 lead into the second half.
After a scoreless third quarter, Avery Powell gave the Dragons the fighting chance they needed with an unassisted goal at the 49:52 mark for her sixth goal of the season. Drexel's offense fed off the momentum of Powell's goal minutes later as Shannon Tringola and Eline Di Leva gave the Dragons the go-ahead on a penalty corner in the 52nd minute, ultimately securing the victory.
