DES MOINES, Iowa – Drake volleyball (23-10, 14-4) will get to continue their 2023 campaign after getting by Chicago State in the first round of the NIVC. Drake overcame a shaky start to blow by the Cougars 29-27, 25-18, 25-16.
The Bulldogs came out a bit flat as Chicago State led from the first serve. Drake struggled to find a rhythm on offense as the Cougars were the first to the 15-point mark. Drake then trimmed into lead with back-to-back Bush kills. Momentum grew with a Taylor Oberpriller score to force CSU timeout, the deficit down to just two.
