RICHMOND, Va. – The Drexel women's basketball team will face Elon tonight at the 2021 CAA Women's Basketball Championship, presented by SonaBank. The Dragons will face the host school at Schar Center in Elon, N.C.
The Dragons jumped into the third spot after Towson lost to UNCW last Friday night. Drexel will enter play with an 11-8 record and an 8-6 mark CAA play. Elon, the sixth-seed is 7-7 overall and 3-5 in conference play. The winner of tonight's game will face either Northeastern or James Madison.
The Dragons and Elon split a pair of games at the Daskalakis Athletic Center in late January. Drexel lost the opener by two points, but followed that up with a 55-44 win. Hannah Nihill scored 22 to lead the Dragons. She leads the Dragons in scoring with 15.7 points per game and has 52 steals in just 19 games.
