Greenberg, Brown pace Drexel women

Bailey Greenberg and Aubree Brown combined for 29 points, and Drexel turned in another solid defensive performance to down Siena, 51-39, in the opening round of the TD Bank Classic in Burlington, Vt.

Greenberg scored 17 points, including five in an 8-0 run in the third period that broke the game open. After Brown (12 points) hit a 3-pointer to give the Dragons a 2824 lead, Greenberg buried a triple and dropped in a layup in a 50-second span to extend the advantage to 33-24. The Saints never got closer than three points the rest of the way.

Drexel’s defense saw to that. The Dragons (3-1) held Siena to 31.8 percent shooting overall and just

20 percent from 3-point range to extend their winning streak to three games and advance to Saturday’s final against host Vermont, a 56-54 winner over Wagner in overtime. Tip-off is

4 p.m.

RADFORD 56, TEMPLE 50 >> The Owls rallied from a
