DES MOINES, Iowa – A comeback that fell a couple of baskets short sent the Drake women's basketball team to a 74-66 loss to Richmond in the second round of the Vibrant Thanksgiving Classic at the Knapp Center on Saturday.
Richmond (5-1) did a good job cutting off lanes to the basket with a suffocating zone defense and the Bulldogs (4-2) couldn't hit the perimeter shots they needed to compensate. The Spiders, meanwhile, knocked down one three-point shot after another finished 13-for-29 from deep.
Following up on her career-high 27-point performance against Louisiana Tech on Friday, scored 21 to lead the Bulldogs.
