PHILADELPHIA– Monmouth score early in the fourth quarter gave the Hawks a lead that Drexel could not overtake. The Dragons fall to 15-4 on the season which marks their best record since 2010. The Hawks move to 11-6 on the year and will face off in the CAA Championship finals against #1 Fairfield.
The Dragons scored early, finding the back of the net six minutes into the opening frame. Sophomore Flo Bosdijk would receive the ball in the circle before rifling the ball past Monmouth's keeper to put the Dragons up to an early 1-0 lead.
Monmouth would put pressure on the Dragons after falling behind, taking 13 first half shots and nine penalty corners before the break. The Hawks would bring the score even shortly into the second quarter as Claire Campen would retrieve a pass from Milla Frye and push it past the keeper.
Drexel's Halle Geiger had an outstanding game, making six saves in the first half and keeping Monmouth at one goal despite their nine first half penalty corners and 13 first half shots. The CAA Defensive Player of the Year made multiple diving saves off penalty corners and free play shots, giving Drexel a tied score heading into the break.
The Dragons came out of half time taking four shots in the 3rd quarter to Monmouth's 0. 4 minutes into the second half Cato Nackaerts fired a shot off a penalty corner that was saved by the Hawks keeper.
