Box Score

PHILADELPHIA – Two first half goals by Delaney Lappin propelled the Drexel women's soccer team to a crucial, 2-1 Colonial Athletic Association win against Elon in a driving rain on Sunday afternoon. The Dragons are 8-1-3 on the season and 3-1-0 in the CAA.

At halftime, women's soccer presented Caroline Thompson with the 2022 Laura Meikle Koch scholarship for best representing the energy, compassion, and love of life that Koch exhibited.

BY THE NUMBERS

For Lappin, the goals were her sixth and seventh of the season. The seven goals are the most in a season for a Drexel player since Shaelyn McCarty also posted seven in 2016.
Casey Touey, Annalena O'Reilly and Isabel Kuzy each had an assist. It was the third helper of the year for O'Reilly and the first each for Touey and Kuzy.
Molly Piso came up with five saves in net to preserve the win for DU.
The eight wins for the Dragons are the most for the team since an 11-7-1 mark in 2017.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Lappin got DU on the board first in the 10th minute. O'Reilly sent a ball from the top of the box to the left side for Touey who one-touched it to Lappin. The junior did the rest, sending it inside the right post for the 1-0 lead.
In the 29th minute, Kuzy served a ball in from the left to Lappin, who headed the it into the upper left corner, making it 2-0 Drexel.
Elon got one back in the 66th minute and continued to pressure through the remainder of the game, but Piso came up big, stopping four shots in the second half.

UP NEXT
The Dragons continue their homestand on Thursday, October 6 when they host Hofstra. Opening tap from Vidas Field is scheduled for 6:00 p.m.
