What defines a hero? Is it someone who is gifted at a particular sport? Are heroes defined based on the way they look or their ability to entertain an audience? Maybe a hero is made based on one's ability to overcome adversity and never give up hope or faith.
The game was physical, tempers flared between both the fans and players, and everything went down to the wire-the same could be said about every Drexel-Delaware game, no matter the sport.

Both the men's and women's crew teams had strong showings at the San Diego Crew Classic April 4 and 5. The men's varsity eight finished in first in the Petite Final. The Dragons finished third in the preliminary heat behind UCLA and Santa Clara.

Triangle Sports Desk sports@thetriangle.org Drexel women's lacrosse has lost only five games this season, four of the losses have been by just one goal. This past Sunday's 11-10 loss to No. 20 Towson was no different. Hillary Fratzke had three goals and two assist for a Tiger's team that did not hesitate to get started at Vidas Field.
