DES MOINES, Iowa – A Drake women's basketball season full of big moments ended with a tough loss in the first round of the WBIT. Marquette's Jaidynn Mason hit a mid-range jumper with 50 seconds left to give her team the lead and the Golden Eagles held on from there to beat Drake 74-69 at the Knapp Center on Thursday afternoon.
The loss ended the careers of seniors Katie Dinnebier, Anna Miller, Courtney Becker and Ashley Iiams. The Bulldogs went 93-42 with those four playing, won two Missouri Valley Conference regular-season and tournament championships, and played in the NCAA tournament twice.
