PHILADELPHIA, Pa. -- Drexel rattled off 16 unanswered points early in the game to remain unbeaten in the Colonial Athletic Association as UNCW fell, 72-39, in women's basketball action on Friday night.

Four Drexel starters scored in double figures with fifth-year guard Hannah Nihill contributing a game-high 19 points. Nihill was joined by senior guard Keishana Washington (15) along with graduate forwards Tessa Brugler (13) and Mariah Leonard (10) to complete the scoring quartet.
