NEWARK, Del. – Drexel's hot shooting was too much for University of Delaware men's basketball Thursday evening with the Blue Hens (12-16, 5-10 CAA) falling to the Dragons (14-14, 6-9 CAA) 78-74.

HEN HIGHLIGHTS

Izaiah Pasha neared his first career double-double for the second-straight game. He finished with 14 points and tied his career mark of nine assists. The rookie added four rebounds and three steals to his line.
Niels Lane led all scorers with 18 points on an 8-of-9 outing.
John Camden (15) and Macon Emory (10) also finished in double figures.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Drexel scored the first nine points before Martin Ingelsby called timeout. The Dragons remained stout defensively and held UD without a field goal until 14:49 when Emory drained a triple. The visitors went ahead by as many as 12 at 24-12, before the Hens rallied off a 14-4 run over 4:16 to cut it to 28-26 with 6:17 left. Drexel pulled ahead 44-35 at the half.
Delaware opened the second half with a 10-2 run in 2:18 to force a Drexel timeout with the score at 46-45. UD took the lead after a pair of Camden free throws at 49-48. A 10-2 margin for DU put the Dragons back ahead 58-51 at the under-12 media stoppage. The Blue & Gold would only pull within three on a pair of occasions the rest of the way.
