Last Time Out
The Drexel women's basketball team could not hold off the Campbell Camels, 56-52, on Sunday afternoon at the Daskalakis Athletic Center. The Dragons fell to 16-10 overall and 12-4 in the CAA, while Campbell improved 18-10 overall and have a 11-5 mark in the conference. With two games remaining, Drexel has the second-seed, owning the tiebreaker over Charleston, who also is 12-4 in the conference.
Prior to the game, Drexel celebrated the careers and dedication of Chloe Hodges, Amaris Baker and Cara McCormack.
Baker led the team with 17 points and four assists.
Deja Evans finished the game with 15 points and with a season-high 13 rebounds, for her second double-double of the season. The sophomore also blocked five shots on the day.
Evans has 60 blocks this season, after swatting away five today. While only appearing in 25 games this season, Evans has climbed into the program's career block list as No. 10, overtaking LaTasha Rice, who finished her career with 58. Evans is 15 blocks shy from setting the program's single-season record and is four away from climbing to No. 7 on the career list.
Drexel's loss on Sunday is the only conference loss at home all season. The Dragons finished 8-1 at home in CAA play, which currently leads the conference heading into the final weekend of conference play in the regular season.
