TOWSON, Md. – Drexel had its three-game winning streak come to a halt as Towson defeated the Dragons at SECU Arena on Thursday night, 64-58. The Dragons fell to 8-7 on the season and suffered their first CAA loss of the year (2-1). Towson (9-6, 1-1) picked up its first CAA win of the year and snapped a five-game losing streak.

Drexel trailed by as many as 17 points early in the second half as the Tigers made their first six shots to start the period. The Dragons slowly chipped away, mainly due to the work of their bench.

However, Towson answered with an 8-3 run and held off the Dragons comeback bid.
