How It Happened

• Freshman Nicole Malancone tried to get VCU on the board just before the break, but her shot was knocked away.
• Neither team had many chances in the second half, but a late push by the Rams led to shot attempts by Dallas Smith and Graves, but neither snuck into the net as Drexel secured the 1-0 win.
