TOWSON, Md. - Drexel used a 15-4 run in the second half to pull away from the Tigers and earn a 58-47 win on Sunday afternoon. On Senior Day, it was juniors Sheree Ledbetter and Krystal Parnell who combined for 23 points to lead the Tigers (9-19, 3-14 CAA).

"I thought once we settled down from the emotions of Senior Day in the first half we played some solid defense today," said Coach Joe Mathews. "Unfortunately we suffered from the same problem today that we have all season which is inconsistency."

Trailing 29-28 coming out of the break, the Tigers quickly scored six of the first nine points in the second half. That run gave Towson a 34-32 lead with 17:03 to play. However Drexel would respond as Hollie Mershon drained a three-pointer at 14:08 to jump start the 15-4 run by the Dragons. Mershon would also cap the run as she hit a pair of free throws at 6:31 to make Drexel's advantage 47-38. The two teams would trade baskets over the next couple of minutes as Deree Fooks made a lay-up at 3:53 to make it a 50-45 game. That would be as close as the Tigers would get the rest of the way. Drexel made 3-of-6 shots at the foul line in the final two minutes to make the final margin of victory, 58-47.

Drexel had started the game hot, connecting on its first three baskets. When Kamile Nacickaite converted the three-point play at 17:46, the Dragons had an 8-0 advantage. Towson got on the board at 16:42 as Jaleesa Dryver made one of two from the charity stripe. Tyler Hale hit a lay-up at 9:02 to give Drexel a 21-10 advantage, its largest of the first half. Ledbetter hit a lay-up at 8:25 to jump start an 18-8 run by the Tigers to close out the first half. Ledbetter recorded 10 of her 13 points during that stretch. The run by the Tigers allowed them to pull within one, 29-28 heading into the break.

Drexel shot 57.9% from the field in the first half and finished the game shooting 47.5%. The Dragons also shot 47.1% from three-point range. Towson shot 33.3% from the floor in the first half and 33.3% for the game. The Tigers shot just 9.1% from three-point range in the game while both teams shot 66.7% from the line in the game. Drexel held a slim edge on the boards, 33-32.

It was Parnell's fifth straight game in double figures and ninth time in the last ten games. Fooks contributed eight points while Dovile Miliauskaite posted six points and six rebounds. Towson recognized Dryver, Miliauskaite, Simona Petronyte, Charmonique Watt and Jessica Haywood prior to the game as they were playing in their final home game.

Mershon and Nacickaite each finished with 16 points to lead Drexel. Mershon added nine rebounds while Nacickaite had six boards. Taylor Wootton was the third Dragon in double figures with 10 points.
