Preview: Drexel Dragons at William & Mary Tribe WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (Interstat) â A pivotal Colonial Athletic Association womenâs basketball matchup unfolds Sunday when the Drexel Dragons visit the William & Mary Tribe at Kaplan Arena. The Dragons (15-8) enter having won five of their last six, including a 68-59 victory over Elon on Feb. 13. Drexel is led by dynamic guard Amaris Baker, who is averaging 21.0 points over her last seven games. She scored 27 points in 39 minutes in the win over Elon. William & Mary (13-11) looks to rebound after a 63-58 home loss to Monmouth on Friday. The Tribeâs recent performances have been inconsistent, but they boast a formidable interior presence in forward Jana Sallman. She recorded a dominant 25-point, 12-rebound, four-block performance in a win over Towson on Feb. 15, showcasing her game-changing potential. Drexelâs strength lies in its backcourt, anchored by Baker, and a defense that has held opponents under 60 points in four of its last five wins. William & Mary will counter with a defense that ranks among the conference leaders in blocks, spearheaded by Sallmanâs rim protection. The teams are jockeying for position in the CAA standings with the conference tournament approaching. Drexel holds the superior overall record, but William & Mary is 9-4 at home this season. The game is scheduled for a 2 p.m. tipoff on Sunday, Feb. 22, 2026. It will be the only regular-season meeting between the programs this year. For Drexel, the contest begins a challenging final stretch of the season. William & Mary looks to stabilize after its recent loss and defend its home court against one of the leagueâs top scorers in Baker. The matchup between Drexelâs perimeter attack and William & Maryâs interior defense, led by Sallman, will likely decide the outcome.
