Drew 73, Delaware Valley 66

DOYLESTOWN, Pa. — Cunningham and Kraft Too Much for Delaware Valley

Junior guards Courtney Cunningham and Melissa Kraft both scored 25 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as the Rangers defeated Delaware Valley, 73-66, in Doylestown. Pam Kakalec added ten points and 11 boards for Drew while Rachel Joyce led the Aggies (9-4, 2-1) with 25 points and 13 rebounds. The Rangers improve to 7-6 with win, 2-1 in the Freedom Conference.

Ranked second and third in the Freedom Conference in scoring, respectively, Kraft and Cunningham dominated the game with all-around performances. Cunningham hit on 11 of 17 shots and also recorded five assists in the game while Kraft had six assists to go with a block and a steal. Drew went into half-time with a slim 30-28 lead before outscoring the Aggies 43-38 in the second period. The Rangers defense, which held Lehman to just five points in the first half on Monday night, held the Aggies to 30% shooting and 5-25 from behind the arc. The Rangers, on the other hand, hit 48.3% of their shots and six threes. Forward Genie Valantassis had a solid game recording five points, three boards and five assists.

The Rangers look to continue their two game winning streak when they face Lycoming at home on Saturday.
