Syracuse (10-0) stayed perfect Saturday night in the Carrier Dome, beating Drexel (6-4), 72-62. The Orange entered the half trailing by eight with no players scoring in double figures. But stronger defense and shots starting to fall guided the Orange to a win over the Dragons, a team it lost to a season ago.
