The Penn vs. Drexel Series

\n*Penn leads the all-time series against Drexel with a 34-11-4 record. The Quakers and Dragons have played to draws in each of the last two meetings, including a 3-3 result at Rhodes Field last season.

\n*The Red and Blue hold a 5-2-3 record across the last 10 meetings, dating back to 2013, and will look to reclaim the advantage in the latest installment of the city rivalry.<\/p>\n

Quaker Notemeal

\n*Junior forward Marco Bottene<\/a> continues to be a key attacking presence for the Red and Blue. Bottene assisted Michael Howard’s<\/a> goal against Cornell on Saturday and has helped lead Penn’s offensive efforts throughout the 2026 campaign.

\n*Senior captain Jack-Ryan Jeremiah<\/a> has scored three goals this season, all from the penalty spot. The midfielder converted his third penalty of the year against Cornell, giving Penn an early lead in Ithaca.

\n*Junior midfielder Michael Howard<\/a> scored his second goal of the season against Cornell, finishing a well-worked move to double Penn’s advantage before halftime.

\n*Junior forward Romeo Dahlen<\/a> found the back of the net for the first time this season against Cornell, while sophomore Becket Empson-Speiden<\/a> recorded the assist. The pair will look to build on that connection as Penn returns to non-conference action.

\n*Senior goalkeeper Phillip Falcon III<\/a> made six saves against Cornell, matching his season high.<\/p>\n

Last Time Out

\n*Penn traveled to Ithaca, N.Y., on Saturday to face No. 22 Cornell in an Ivy League contest. The Quakers built a 2-0 halftime lead behind goals from Jeremiah and Howard, but the Big Red scored five times in the second half to hand Penn a 5-3 defeat.

\n*Dahlen brought the Quakers level at 3-3 in the 64th minute with a curling finish off an assist from Empson-Speiden. Cornell responded with a late free-kick goal before adding an insurance tally in the 88th minute.

\n*Penn finished with 14 shots, including seven on target, while Falcon III made six saves.<\/p>\n

Scouting the Dragons

\n*Drexel enters Tuesday’s matchup at 5-5-2 overall and 2-3-1 in Coastal Athletic Association play. The Dragons are coming off a 1-1 draw against Hofstra on Saturday at Vidas Field.

\n*The Dragons have earned wins over Northeastern, La Salle and Stony Brook at home this season, while also recording a road victory over Robert Morris and Mercyhurst earlier in the campaign.

\n*Drexel has played a competitive slate, including recent narrow defeats to Northeastern and NJIT, and will look to use home-field advantage against its city rival.

\n*Tuesday’s contest marks Penn’s first appearance in Philly Soccer 6 action this season, providing another opportunity for the Quakers to build momentum ahead of their next Ivy League matchup.<\/p>\n
