PHILADELPHIA – Drexel used a 20-3 run spanning the end of the first half and the beginning of the second as the Dragons pulled away for a 76-60 victory over Delaware Saturday afternoon at the Daskalakis Center.
The Dragons (7-11, 1-4 CAA) led by just a pair at 25-23 following an Anthony Mosley layup, but scored the next 10 points and eventually carried a 37-26 advantage into the break.
Drexel then scored the first eight points of the second half, going in front 45-26 and forcing a Blue Hen time out with 17:29 remaining.
Delaware (7-12, 0-6 CAA) pulled within 13 four times in the second period, but would get no closer.
Mosley led the Blue Hens with a game-high 18 points on the afternoon, while Ryan Daly (left) contributed 13 points and a team-leading nine rebounds. However Delaware shot just 33.9 percent from the field, including a 5 of 26 performance from behind the arc.
Rodney Williams led four Dragons in double figures with 15 points, while Austin Williams chipped in with 14 and Kurk Lee added 12 points and six assists. Sammy Mojica narrowly missed a triple-double with nine points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists for Drexel.
Delaware led 6-5 in the opening minutes, but Drexel answered with a 10-2 run and led the rest of the contest. It was still just a two-point game at 25-23 following the Mosley layup, before the Dragons countered with the decisive spurt to pull away.
Delaware opens a two-game homestand on Thursday when the Blue Hens host Northeastern at 7 p.m. at the Bob Carpenter Center.
