DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake University women's basketball team returns to the Knapp Center Thursday and Friday to host SIU for a two-game Missouri Valley Conference series. Tipoff for each game will be 5 p.m. The two games will be the team's Pink Games presented by MercyOne Medical Center Des Moines.
Drake (10-8, 8-3 MVC) swept Loyola last weekend in Chicago and sits alone in second place after the two wins over the Ramblers. The Bulldogs used hot shooting in the first two quarters to cruise in the first game and then held off a fourth-quarter charge by the Ramblers in the finale.
