A year ago: Women's hoops vs. Drexel

Off to its best start in program history at 5-2, the women's basketball team faces one more test before winter break when they take on Drexel at the Palestra today at noon. The team will certainly be looking to put forth a better showing this year, as last season the Dragons handed the Red and Blue their second-worst loss on the year. We'll be liveblogging our first women's game this afternoon, but here are some notes on last year's contest to keep you occupied until tipoff:

In the second game of the season, Drexel defeated Penn, 62-31. The 31-point deficit was the Quakers' worst loss on the year until the 51-point defeat to Princeton in the season finale.
Penn opened with a 9-0 run to start the game, but the Dragons closed out the final 13 minutes of the first with a 22-3 run to lead at the half, 22-12.
The Quakers shot just 11-for-50 from the field (22%) and went 2-for-15 from beyond the arc (13%). On the opposite end of the spectrum, Drexel converted 24-of-49 shots (49%) and made 7-of-17 from three-point land (41%).
No Quakers reached double digits. Alyssa Baron led the team with eight points in only the second game of her college career.
