Dragons Catch Fire In Second Half To Beat Huskies

Any loss is tough. But it is especially hard when you give up more than three times the amount of points you did in the second half then you did in the first.

The Huskies fell to the Drexel Dragons 62-58, to bring them to 11-3 in the conference. At halftime, the Huskies led 23-15. Drexel would go on to score 47 second half points, after trailing by 13 points with 17 minutes to play, to beat the Huskies at home.

This is the second loss in past three games for the Huskies, who are searching for answers. Baptiste Bataille led the way for Northeastern with a career-high 19 points, and Matt Janning scored 15 points while only taking 13 shots. The Huskies missed 8 free throws and could not stop Scott Rodgers, who torched the Husky defense for 17 points while getting in the lane with ease and creating on almost every possession.

It only gets harder from here for Northeastern, who has to get on a plane and travel to George Mason for a Valentine’s Day showdown with the Patriots. We all remember the last time these two faced off, with the Huskies winning a thriller at Matthews Arena by one point.
