Freshman Angel Baker was the star of the night with her 24 point performance and a crucial block on a three-point attempt late in the game against the Flashes.
On offense the Raiders have three players averaging in the double-digits; Taylor Mackenzie with 12.3, Angel Baker with 11.3, and Michal Miller with 10.3 are leading the way on offense. After her five point performance against Kent State, Taylor Mackenzie is now just 15 points away from joining Wright State's 1000 Point Club. Symone Simmons leads the team in rebounds where she pulls in 7.9 per contest and Tyler Frierson is also bringing in an additional 6.9. Senior Emily Vogelpohl is also making strong contributions on defense where she averages 6.5 rebounds per game and is also credited with 14 steals.
Drexel

The Dragons are led by long-time coach Denise Dillon, entering her 16th season the Dillon has only had one season with a losing record and can also boast a WNIT Championship.
