Bulldogs now riding a six-game winning streak; retain No. 24 in AP rankings
By HANNAH COHEN
The Bulldogs took on Evansville (1-13 MVC) and Indiana State (11-15 MVC) this past weekend to finish off their February homestand and keep their first-place rank in the Valley and AP No. 24 rank. They first faced Evansville on Friday and got a 66-39 win and held the Aces to only scoring three points in the third quarter, the fewest Drake has allowed in a quarter since the switch to the quarter system in 2015.
To add to the two wins, Sara Rhine surpassed her 1,500-career point mark in her second basket in the Evansville game, Brenni Rose had a conference high of 13 points to lead just behind Rhine and Becca Hittner got a game-high 33 points versus the Sycamores.
