The Dragons are off to their best start in program history, entering CAA play with an undefeated 5-0-3 record. So how did they get ahead of the 'class?' We dig into their unified approach.
When Annalena O’Reilly arrived at Drexel in 2019, she and her fellow freshmen on the women’s soccer team were tasked with taking care of the equipment. As the first-year players on the team, that was something they took on by themselves.However, this time, she’s joined by the entire team.
This change began last season when head coach Ray Goon implemented something some of his players refer to as “classism.” Ultimately, they say Goon’s meaning of classism is that every grade should be treated equally. With CAA play coming up, the Dragons were picked to finish eighth in a conference that now has 12 teams.Offensively, the Dragons are averaging 1.88 goals per game after 1.12 last year, and defensively they’re giving up just .63 goals per game in 2022 opposed to 1.35 a season ago. They already have 10 assists this season, following just nine in 17 games last year.
That fast start and slow finish last season isn’t something that has been lost in the shuffle. Senior captain Lily Dunbar, who is one of many returning players, remembers CAA play and has learned from it.
