Syracuse built off of their win against Colgate to fend off a pesky Drexel squad Thursday.
Fresh off of Sunday's win, the Orange (4-4-1) were looking to capitalize off of the momentum and continue their winning ways when Drexel (6-3-0) came into town Thursday night. It would be the final non-conference tune-up for Syracuse before the ACC slate begins this Sunday.
The Dragons have had a successful 2015 campaign to date, already only one win away from tying their entire total of seven last year. Coming into Thursday's contest, Drexel had just won their last two games, against the likes of VCU (1-6-0) and Niagra (2-3-2), seemingly having a slight edge over the Orange.
