PHILADELPHIA - The Drexel men's lacrosse team will look to defend its Colonial Athletic Association championship beginning Thursday right here in Philadelphia. Drexel, this year's host school, will meet the top-seeded Delaware Blue Hens in the semifinal at 4 p.m. The winner will face either Towson or UMass in the title game on Saturday.
THE SERIES
Delaware holds a 48-28 in the all-time series. Earlier this season, the Blue Hens defeated Drexel in a matchup that came down to the game's final seconds. Mike Robinson picked up a loose ball in front of the Drexel net and fired home the game-winner with just 10 seconds left to give the Blue Hens a 16-15 win. Tye Kurtz had eight goals to lead UD. Drexel midfielder Jack Mulcahy led the Dragons with six points. The senior scored four goals and added two assists in the effort. The meeting on Thursday will be just the third time that the two teams will meet in the CAA Championship. The Blue Hens defeated Drexel in the previous two games.
