HAMPTON, Va. - Max Hull and Matt Martin each collected hat tricks as five Dragons picked up first career goals in the victory over Hampton, 16-5. Drexel's record improves to 4-5 as Hampton slides to 0-8.

Andre Myers helped the Pirates jump on the board first at the 12:47 mark, but the Dragons would quickly take over the game from there. DU scored five goals in just over three minutes. The first came from Nate Bradley, scoring his first career goal to tie the game up at one. Matt Martin and Gavin Kelly each followed with their first goals of the year to take the lead to 3-1.

The redshirt-freshman began his hat trick with a spectacular shot between the legs of the goalie to hit the back of the cage. The next came off the caused turnover from Carter Begley, who quickly sprinted down field to dish it to Hull for the tally. The Dragons then took full advantage of the man-up situation and Hull quickly scored again to take Drexel into the half up 12-3.

Cole Doller kicked the third quarter off for Drexel, scoring just in front of the crease to score his first goal of the season. Begley joined the party to record his first goal of the season as well, firing from way back to extend the lead to 14-3.
