Senior Victoria Reynolds Notches Third Double-Double of the Season in Setback Against Drexel

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – Senior Victoria Reynolds notched her third double-double of the season, but Drexel used a 10-0 fourth-quarter run to pull away from the William & Mary women's basketball team 61-54 on Sunday afternoon at Kaplan Arena.
 
Tied at 43, Drexel (13-6, 6-1 CAA) used a 10-0 run that spanned nearly four minutes of the fourth quarter. Niki Metzel hit a pair of free throws to give the Dragons the lead for good before she added a jumper to make it a two-possession game. Bailey Greenberg kept the run alive as she connected on two from the line before Metzel scored again Aubree Brown hit a jumper to make it 53-43 with 5:10 left in the game.
 
W&M had to battle to come back all day and was able to force three ties but was unable to take the lead. Down six late in the third quarter, the Tribe used a 6-0 run to tie it for the last time. Reynolds had the final four points of the frame, before starting the fourth quarter with a bucket to tie at 43-43 with 8:52 left.
 
The Dragons started the game on a 9-0 run and never trailed in the contest. Metzel sandwiched a pair of jumpers around a basket from Mariah Leonard and a 3-pointer from Greenberg to make it 9-0 just under two minutes into the game.
