Elon Seeks Road Upset Against Drexel in Colonial Clash PHILADELPHIA (Interstat) — The Drexel Dragons, looking to rebound from a tough double-overtime loss, will host the Elon Phoenix in a Colonial Athletic Association women’s basketball matchup on Friday, Feb. 13, 2026, at Daskalakis Athletic Center. Drexel (14-8 overall) enters the contest holding a stronger season record than Elon (11-12) but is coming off a narrow 62-60 double-overtime home defeat to Monmouth last Sunday. In that loss, guard Laine McGurk played all 40 minutes and scored a game-high 25 points, adding six rebounds. McGurk has been a consistent offensive force, averaging 18.4 points over her last five games. The Dragons had won five straight prior to that setback, a streak that included a 65-56 victory at Northeastern on Feb. 1. Drexel’s defense has been a hallmark, holding opponents to 53 points or fewer in three of its last six wins. Elon arrives in Philadelphia with momentum from a dominant 75-52 home win over William & Mary on Feb. 8. In that victory, forward Tamia Watkins posted a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds in just 21 minutes. Watkins has been a key contributor, averaging 11.4 points over her last seven appearances. The Phoenix have shown volatility, alternating wins and losses over their past eight games. Securing a road victory against a top-tier conference opponent like Drexel would mark a significant achievement for their season. Friday’s game will be the only scheduled meeting between the two teams this regular season. Drexel will look to leverage its home-court advantage and defensive discipline to contain Watkins and the Phoenix, while Elon aims to capitalize on its recent high-scoring performance and disrupt the Dragons’ rhythm. The matchup tips off at 7 p.m. EST in Philadelphia.
