Already staring at a later start to the season than most, Drexel also had a two-week pause just as practice began in early February. With those sorts of issues, it probably wasn’t a surprise the Dragons started 1-2.
Coach Brian Voelker acknowledges the lack of practice time played a role in the uneven start. But he also said this week the Dragons simply weren’t playing well at the time.
Not anymore.
Drexel (5-2, 3-2 Colonial) has won four games in a row its longest winning streak since a nine-game run late in the 2014 season propelled it to its first NCAA tournament trip and an appearance in the quarterfinals as it heads into Saturday’s trip to Fairfield and already avenged its losses to Massachusetts and Delaware.
