Drexel University Dragons
2021-2022 SEASON PREVIEW
- Both Drexel programs ended the 2020 season in their respective National Championship draws for the first time in school history.
- The men’s team, in particular, returns almost the entire roster from that successful run and, with their additional four recruits, will be knocking on the door for a Top 4 position if things fall into place.
- The Drexel women lose a few more players to graduation than the men, but they will be no less motivated to improve upon their 7th-place ranking with five new recruits in the squad.
