Drexel Announces Extension

Drexel Athletics Director Eric Zillmer has announced that Denise Dillon, the Dragons’ head women’s basketball coach, has agreed to a multi-year contract extension which will keep her at the school through 2020. Full terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Dillon, who recently completed her tenth season at the helm of the Drexel women’s basketball program, has guided the team to unprecedented heights. The Dragons are coming off a 28-win season in 2012-13, setting a new program record for victories. They captured the 2013 Women’s National Invitation Tournament championship with a 46-43 victory over Utah on April 6, making Drexel the first Division I women’s basketball team in Philadelphia history to claim a postseason tournament title.
