Washington opened the scoring with a layup before Lavelle scored the next nine points for the Dragons, giving them a 35-34 advantage with 6:05 remaining in the quarter. Both teams went back and forth for the remainder of the quarter and the Hawks held a five-point advantage heading to the final quarter. … Drexel continued to battle and pulled to within one point with 47 seconds remaining on a Lavelle layup. Monmouth did not give up the lead, however, going 7-for-8 on free throws down the stretch. … Earlier in the week, Lavelle was named to the CAA All-Rookie Team.
