Drexel (5-4-1, 1-0) jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, with Wilhelmina Hauch-Fausbøll heading in a corner in the ninth minute before Vanessa Kara doubled the advantage with an individual effort in the 18-yard box in the 19th minute.

Senior Emily Agudelo took a free kick from favorable position in the 31st minute, but the Dragons' wall of defenders blocked the attempt.

Drexel then made it 3-0 in the 68th minute on Shaelyn McCarty's strike.

Shots were nearly even, with the Dragons holding a narrow 18-17 advantage, but Drexel put 12 on frame to Hofstra's six shots on goal.
