Scott Grzenda, who has led 14 of his teams to postseason play. “To play and compete so well and just miss the result you needed is tough on everyone. It's so hard to say goodbye to such a great group of seniors. They've had success on the field and in the classroom and we wish them every happiness in the future.”

Drexel (8-6-4, 4-2-3 CAA), which stumbled to a mark of 0-1-3 over its final four regular season games, still managed to earn the No. 2 seed for upcoming CAA Tournament.

She finished with a league-high 110 saves on the season, the second highest total in UD history and most since Melissa Kulp had a school-record 152 in 1996.
