HOW IT HAPPENED

After the Pride scored the opening basket of the contest, Drexel went on a 13-2 run during the next 4:35. It was a team effort in the span as five different players scored for DU. The run helped the Dragons to a 22-13 lead after 10 minutes.
An early run in the second by Hofstra closed the gap to seven, but an 8-0 Drexel run late in the frame enabled the Dragons to take a 36-24 lead into the break.
The Pride would not go away and once again sliced the edge to seven in the first four minutes of the third, but an 11-5 run that once again saw multiple players score pushed Drexel on top 51-38 with 10 minutes remaining.
DU maintained its lead throughout the fourth, eventually pushing the advantage to 14 at the seven-minute mark. Hofstra made a late run, but the Dragons got a layup by Washington, a pair of free throws from Hendrixson and a basket from Tori Hyduke to seal the win.
