DES MOINES, Iowa – spin and hustle helped the Drake women's basketball team take sole possession of first place in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Berg spun her way down the lane for a layup to put the Bulldogs ahead with 1:30 left. Miller then sped along the baseline to grab the ball after shot was blocked and dropped in a layup, giving the Bulldogs the edge they needed to hold on for a 69-65 victory over Belmont at the Knapp Center on Friday night.
Drake (13-4, 6-0) rallied time after time to grind out a win over the league's best defensive team and start the program's Hometown Team Weekend on a high note and run its winning streak to seven, the longest in the three-year tenure of Suzie Glazer Burt Head Coach .
