Historical Context

The history between these two programs is relatively recent, defined by conference realignment. North Carolina A&T joined the Coastal Athletic Association (formerly the Colonial Athletic Association) in July 2022, moving from the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC). This move created a new conference rivalry with Drexel, a long-standing CAA member. Their first meeting as conference opponents occurred during the 2022-23 season. In that inaugural CAA matchup on January 27, 2023, Drexel defeated North Carolina A&T 66-53 at the Daskalakis Athletic Center in Philadelphia. The Aggies won the rematch later that season on February 24, 2023, by a score of 58-53 at the Corbett Sports Center in Greensboro, North Carolina. This split established a competitive foundation for the series. Historically, Drexel's women's basketball program has been one of the more successful in the CAA, with multiple regular-season titles and postseason appearances, including NCAA Tournament bids in 2009 and 2021. North Carolina A&T built a strong legacy in the MEAC, winning five conference tournament championships between 1994 and 2021. The current series reflects the ongoing process of integration for North Carolina A&T into a new competitive landscape.
