Samme Givens added 15 points and Damion Lee 14 for the Dragons (12-5, 4-2 Colonial Athletic Association), who have won four consecutive games and 10 of 11.
The Seahawks led for most of the first half, but Chris Fouch and Frantz Massenat hit back-to-back 3-pointers to fuel a 10-0 Dragons' run and they never trailed again. Drexel led by 14 points at the break and outscored UNC Wilmington 42-34 in the second half to seal it.
