Drexel led by as many as eight points in the first half, but the team ended up shooting only 30.8 percent from the floor in the period and failed to make a single trip to the free-throw line, allowing the Hawks to battle back and take a 23-18 advantage at the break.

In the second half Saint Joseph's, which made good on a mere 32.0 percent from the field in the opening period, responded with 50 percent accuracy and also connected on 10-of-12 at the charity stripe in order to secure the 14-point road win.

The Hawks held the hosts to just 37.3 percent shooting from the floor and 3- of-15 beyond the arc, all while outscoring Drexel at the free-throw line by a 15-2 margin.
