ST. LOUIS, Mo. – The Drake women's basketball team was voted third in the 2022-23 Missouri Valley Conference Preseason poll. The Bulldogs' preseason position was chosen by a collection of MVC coaches, media, and communications personnel.
Led by second-year head coach Allison Pohlman, Drake earned six first-place votes, just one behind preseason second-place team Illinois State.
The Bulldogs return a plethora of productive players from the 2021-22 squad that went 20-14 overall and 9-9 in MVC play and earned a berth in the WNIT. Drake is the only team with multiple student-athletes on the MVC Preseason All-Conference Team as Megan Meyer and Grace Berg garnered that recognition.
