Box Score

PHILADELPHIA – A three-goal second quarter sealed the deal for No. 20 Saint Joseph's University as they moved to a 7-2 victory over the Dragons. Drexel drops to 0-3 on the season and the Hawks improve to 2-1.

The Dragons got out early against the Hawks, taking a 1-0 lead only two minutes into the game. Isabel Jacobs set up a perfect pass into the circle from the Dragons end-line, allowing Avery Powell to grab her first goal of the season.

Drexel was able to maintain a one goal lead for much of the first half, but a dominant Saint Joseph's offense sank three unanswered goals in the final five minutes of the second quarter to take a 3-1 lead. The Hawks built off their momentum in the second half, recording their fourth goal of the afternoon on a rebound off the pads of Megan Hadfield.

The Dragons answered back in the third with a goal in the 40^th minute. Amber Brouwer recorded her first goal of the season with an assist from Puk Thewessen on the Dragons second penalty corner opportunity to move Drexel back within two. Despite a strong effort, the Dragons couldn't ward off the Hawks offense, who drove forward for three more goals to secure a 7-2 victory.

Drexel will be back on home turf on Sunday, September 5 at 12 p.m. against neighboring La Salle University.
