Drexel (20-6, 12-2 Colonial Athletic) reached 20 or more victories in back-to-back seasons for the first time as a program. Last season saw a 22-11 mark.

Bailey Greenberg had a team-high 12 points on 6-of-11 shooting, while Kelsi Lidge added 10 points and eight rebounds.

The Dragons have now won 11 straight at home, and 17 of their last 20 games overall.

Temple dropped its fourth-straight game to fall to 2-11 in the American Athletic Conference and 10-16 overall.

Missing one of their top scorers in Adrianna Hahn due to injury, the visiting Wildcats came up just short against the Big East-leading Blue Demons.
