DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake University women's soccer team suffered a home defeat at the hands of rival Missouri State on Thursday afternoon. The Bulldogs and Bears were knotted at the half, but Drake could not keep up with the relentless visiting bunch down the stretch, despite their competitive display.
The scoring started early as Missouri State's Lillie Rasmussen netted her first goal of the year just six minutes to the game. Rasmussen was assisted by Jane Hansen. Not long after, in the 12th minute, Drake's Maia Bentley echoed the Bears' early strike with one of her own.
