EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Drake's quest for a third straight berth into the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament was halted in the highest-scoring game in the history of the Credit Union 1 Missouri Valley Conference Women's Basketball Tournament. Top-seeded Murray State rode a torrid start to a 96-90 victory over No. 4 seed Drake at the Ford Center on Saturday to start the semifinal round.
Drake, getting a career-high 45 points from Katie Dinnebier, closed with a rush after trailing by 24, but had too much ground to make up against the nation's highest-scoring team.
