Both the Drexel men's and women's teams roll into Bethlehem on a wave of momentum built up throughout the season. The men own a record of 7-1 on the year, including a record of 3-0 on the road, and have won their last four dual meets. The women enter Saturday as winners of their last eight duals as they own a record of 8-1 on the season, with a 1-1 record on the road.
The Lehigh women own a 15-11 advantage over Drexel in the all-time series, which dates back to the 1977-78 season. The Drexel men hold the advantage over Lehigh with a 15-10 series record dating back to the first meeting in the 1981-82 season. The two schools split last season's meeting in Philadelphia with Lehigh winning the women's meet, 182-117, and Drexel claiming the win on the men's side, 194-105.
