The Drexel Dragons (10-11) delivered a heart-pounding Homecoming victory at the DAC, holding off a late surge to defeat Northeastern 83-78. What began as a defensive clinic evolved into an offensive showcase, with the Dragons shooting roughly 50% from the field to secure the win. The first half was a grind. Despite falling behind 11-9 early, Drexel’s defense kept them in the game.

In numerous videos circulated across social media platforms, Good was seen in her vehicle, parked across a one-way street in Minneapolis, Minnesota, obstructing ICE agents. Two ICE agents approached her driver’s-side window, and after a brief exchange with Ms. Good, she reversed a few feet and then attempted to pull away.

Unlike colleges such as the University of Alabama or Ohio State, Drexel is not typically top of mind when it comes to prestigious athletics programs. As a member of the Coastal Athletic Association, which is not part of the Power 5 conferences (which include the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big Ten Conference, the Big 12 Conference and the Southeastern Conference), Drexel is classified as a mid-major. This label comes from the conference that a school’s men’s basketball team plays in.
