QUOTING HEAD COACH Baker Dunleavy
"Credit Drexel for a well-played game. I thought we played well early and got them down, then they fought back into it. They're a well coached team with players that are hard to stop. Our defensive effort has got to improve, I thought we played well enough offensively tonight to win the game. We'll learn from this moving forward."
