Drexel looked very good last week in their fall ball play. Led by Hillier don't underestimate them.
Fear The Dragons!
The Dragons looked okay last year but they really didn't have a very difficult schedule. They didn't beat any Top 20 Teams, what is their schedule like for this year?
I would expect Drexel to look really good against Binghamton, Lasalle and Marist - assuming that's who they played, going off Inside Lacrosse fall ball article. Drexel was a good team last year with several players returning this year. Last season they beat Towson 3x, Hofstra and Temple, who all finished ranked in coaches poll and ranked/RV in media poll. They also almost beat JMU who ended the season easily beating a ranked Hopkins team in Round 1 and hung with UNC in Round 2 as well or better than majority of most ACC teams did last season. I have no ties to Drexel or new coaching staff, but would definitely not underestimate them this season. Their ranking in the polls is earned.
Can people just stop with the “ they played them closer than another team so they must be better “. Not picking on JMU but playing UNC closer than most ACC teams does not make them better than most ACC teams .
JMU is a very good program, they are consistently Top 20 and have been for many years. If they were in the ACC they would be middle to bottom… that is not a knock it is what it is. Oh, and BTW… JMU has won a National Championship which is more tha most ACC Teams including ND, Syracuse, Duke, Louisville and Virginia Tech can say.
