NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Although Drexel’s women got off to a good start, Yale came back and forced an overtime period as the Dragons fell, 60-58, Sunday at the John J. Lee Amphitheater. Nyla McGill made a layup as the clock expired to win it for the Bulldogs.
FIfth-year guard Keishana Washington — the No. 4 scorer in the country — continued to impress with 33 points while junior forward Jasmine Valentine secured 12 rebounds for Drexel.

It took 6 minutes, 35 seconds for the Dragons to surrender the shutout. However, a 11-4 run by Yale to end the first quarter erased much of Drexel’s momentum.
