Daily News | Drexel, Penn, and the Battle of 33rd Street makes a return to the Daskalakis Athletic Complex
Amari Williams and Drexel will host Penn at the Daskalakis Athletic Center tonight for the first time since 2016.For the first time since 2016, Drexel and Penn will face off in the Battle of 33rd Street in a new-look Daskalakis Athletic Center on Tuesday night .
The Dragons enter with a strong win over Old Dominion last Friday, while the Quakers have played stiff competition to start the year are still looking for their first win of the season.Through three games, 6-foot-3 guard Jordan Dingle leads the way for the Quakers, averaging 19.3 points per game on 41.7% shooting from the field. In Penn’s most recent loss to Towson, Dingle scored a game-high 24 points, all coming in the second half.
“I think he’s going to be one of the most elite guards we’ll face all season,” Drexel head coach Zach Spiker said. “… His size, his physicality, his shot-making off the bounce, and his range from three. He’ll be a handful for us and every other team he plays this year.”Here’s how Drexel’s Daskalakis Athletic Center just became one of the premier sports venues in the cityFrom 2004-09, Spiker coached at Cornell under current Penn head coach Steve Donahue.
“We’re incredibly close,” Spiker said of his relationship with Donahue. “… A little bit uncomfortable, personally, but that’s just because of the respect we have for each other — or at least I have for him.”The teams played each other every season from 1996-97 to 2010-11 but have only played three times since then. Penn leads the all-time series 16-10, and Tuesday’s matchup will be only the third time the contest has taken place at Drexel.
