OVERVIEW
* The Great Danes and Dragons were engaged in a close contest in the first half. The teams swapped the first four goals of the game. Kyle Zapolski scored two for UAlbany, while Karson Harris and Hayleigh Simpson had the Drexel goals.
* UAlbany then scored three-straight times to pull ahead, 5-2. Lucy Schneidereith's first of the game trimmed the lead to two before the Great Danes scored three of the next four to take an 8-4 lead with seven minutes to go in the opening half. Drexel's Cara Moreau cored the final goal of the half as the Dragons went to intermission down 8-5.
* As has been the case with the Dragons the last few weeks, the offense exploded out of the gate in the second half. Drexel scored seven straight goals to start the half on its way to a 12-8 lead. Grady had three goals during the stretch, while Lucy Schneidereith added two. Jamie Schneidereith and Karson Harris had the others.
