DES MOINES, Iowa – Maggie Bair's double-double and lockdown defense lifted the Drake women's basketball team to a 63-51 victory over UIC at the Knapp Center on Thursday night.
Bair scored 19 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as the Bulldogs (10-5, 5-2 Missouri Valley Conference) won for the fifth time in the last six games and gave up the fewest points against a league opponent since beating Loyola 75-46 in Chicago on Feb. 5, 2021.
It was the fifth double-double this season for Bair, who made 9-of-17 shots, blocked two shots, and came up with two steals.
