Drexel stomped over their opponents last week winning big over all 3 teams they played. The Bobcats finished their regular season on a high note winning over the Osceola Indians and being the WEMO Conference Champions the 2nd consecutive year.
KC Lutheran visited Drexel to take on the Bobcats to start the week. Drexel dominated the Knights winning 90-13. "We played very well tonight. Anytime you can shoot 72% for the game you are going to win most of the time. I was pleased with our defensive effort and our ability to push the ball on offense." stated Coach Dennis Bolton.
