Box Score

Drexel is now 9-1-3 overall and 4-1-0 in the CAA. The win was the first for the Dragons against the Pride since 2016.

BY THE NUMBER

HOW IT HAPPENED

DU found itself in an early hole as Hofstra scored 1:35 into the match. The 1-0 score line carried into the half as neither team could dent the tally sheet the rest of the frame.
Opening the second half, Lappin took a long feed from Touey and ran onto the ball. Facing the keeper one-on-one, she found the back of the net in the top right for her eighth goal of the season.
After the Pride tied it seven minutes later, Drexel battled back a second time with 21 minutes to go. Maxwell crossed a ball in from the right side. O'Reilly headed the ball towards the net and just over the outstretched reach of the goaltender.
At the end of the 75th minute, the Dragons got the game-winner as Payton fed Kuzy. The Cinnaminson, N.J. native collected and rocketed a shot from the top right of the box into the top left corner.
