Box Score

WILMINGTON, N.C. – Casey Touey chipped a ball over the head of the keeper with 1:08 remaining as the Drexel women's soccer team stunned the UNCW Seahawks, 3-2 on Sunday afternoon. The Dragons run their unbeaten streak to 10 matches and are now 7-0-3 on the season and 2-0-0 in the Colonial Athletic Association.

OF NOTE

Drexel is now one of just 13 unbeaten teams in NCAA Division I.
The 10-match unbeaten streak to open the year ties the second longest in CAA history. The 2004 UNCW squad began the season 9-0-1.
It is the first win for the Dragons against the Seahawks since 2017.
Drexel is 2-0-0 in the CAA for the first time since 2014 when it also picked up wins against Charleston and UNCW.

BY THE NUMBERS

The goal for Touey was her fourth of the season and her first since August 25.
Also finding the back of the net for Drexel were Lily Dunbar and Annalena O'Reilly. It was the first goal of the year for Dunbar and the fifth for O'Reilly.
DU found the back of the net in three of its four shots on goal.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Drexel found itself trailing for the first time this season when the Seahawks scored towards the end of the 21st minute.
Coming right back in the 29th minute, Dunbar sent a free kick into the wall. The ball came right back to her and she lofted the it into the right side of the net, knotting the score at 1-1.
Five minutes later, O'Reilly came down the right side and sent a ball into the box. The strike curled in and clipped the underside of the crossbar before going over the line.
The Dragons held the 2-1 lead into the 88th minute when UNCW delivered a score that looked like it would secure a draw for the home side.
Playing until the final whistle, Drexel had two chances. The first for Touey was saved by the center back on the goal line. With a second opportunity 15 seconds later, she chipped the ball from the right side of the box into the top left corner of the net for the game-winner.

UP NEXT
DU comes home to face Towson on Thursday, September 29. Opening tap from Vidas Field is set for 6:00 p.m. It is suicide prevention night for Drexel. Fans are encouraged to wear green to the match to support the cause.
