Drexel 59, UNCW 47

By TheFeed  Published: 3rd March 2012

Drexel lava-flowed UNCW 59-47 to move to Sunday’s semifinals.

UNCW was the aggressor for most of the first half–the Seahwaks outrebounded the Dragons 19-12–but Drexel came out of the locker room with a renewed purpose. Drexel had more offensive rebounds (7) than UNCW had total rebounds (6) through the first 14 minutes of the second half.

“We got a little out-of-character today. I told them after the game that we did some things we haven’t done all season,” said Bruiser Flint. “When we did what we usually do, then we put the game away.”

A 37-30 rock fight with 13 minutes to play turned when Samme Givens–who had been sitting since the 10 minute mark of the first half–re-entered with fresh legs. The Dragons imediately went to Givens twice on the block, and the sputtering Drexel offense opened up. Frantz Massenat hit his first three of the game and a Givens jump hook made it 45-30 Drexel with 12:03 to play.

The Seahawks cut the lead to 57-47 with 1:30 to play, but Drexel got a steal and two Dartaye Ruffin free throws to allow the largest contingent of Drexel fans to see the Dragons play in the CAA tournament–by far–to exhale.
