The last time we faced Drexel it was just our 2nd league game, which might as well be an eternity ago for both teams.
Camren Wynter dominated the contest, shooting 11-19 from the field (2-4 from 3) en route to 30 points. He also grabbed 5 rebounds, swiped 3 steals and dished out 3 dimes. Drexel ended up starting the season 5-2 in CAA play, while we of course went 0-7 in our first 7.
Since then the teams have headed in mostly opposite directions. Drexel has gone just 1-8 in their last 9 CAA contests, with their only victory in that span coming at home against last-placed JMU. The Dragons plummeted all the way to 8th place, just one spot ahead of the Seahawks. A win on Thursday for the Hawks might just lock in a 1st round matchup between Drexel and UNCW in the opening round of the CAA Tournament the following week.
On Senior Night, the Seahawks close out CAA play with the team they faced in their very first CAA contest of the season, Delaware. The Blue Hens knocked off the Seahawks 82-68 in Newark and have met or exceeded expectations as they made their way thru the CAA slate. They sit at 10-6, tied with Towson behind just Hofstra and William & Mary.
UAB transfer guard
Nate Darling has filled up the stat sheet for the Hens, leading the team in scoring (21.5 ppg), minutes (38.1 mpg), three-point shooting (.403, 96 3PM) and 2nd on the team in assists (2.8 apg). Another transfer, redshirt sophomore forward
Justyn Mutts (High Point) has been a monster on the defensive end, averaging 8.4 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks per contest to go with his 11.9 points per game.
