Box Score

PHILADELPHIA — Two second half goals from Emma Herko and Liv Brocious helped lift the Dragons past Saint Joseph's, 2-0, on Thursday night. Elise Duffy assisted on both tallies to match a career high, while Sammy Widnick earned her first career shutout.

This marked just the second win over the Hawks in program history, and the second straight at home. Drexel secures their first win of the 2025 campaign and improves to 1-0-2 on the season.

The Dragons controlled the match on both sides of the field, outshooting the Hawks 22-3. The DU defense held SJU to zero shots on goal.

After a scoreless first half, the Dragons struck in the 50th minute. Elise Duffy found Liv Brocious in front of the box, who put it away with the left boot for her first goal of the season.

Freshman Emma Herko scored the first goal of her career at the 68 minute mark. Jess Castorina booted the ball from outside 18 meters to find Duffy at the penalty mark. The senior placed it up perfectly for Herko who fired it through the bottom left corner of the net.

Drexel will head to Easton, Pa. to battle Lafayette in their first road test of the season on Sunday, August 24. Kick-off is set for 4 p.m. on ESPN+.
