Women's Basketball Knocks Down Creighton, 82-79
The Allison Pohlman era in Drake University women's basketball got off to a sizzling start.
Freshman Katie Dinnebier hit a 3-pointer with 3 seconds left to lift the Bulldogs to an 82-79 season-opening victory over Creighton at the Knapp Center on Wednesday night.
Drake built a 17-point lead with some sharp shooting and passing, then had to hold off a Creighton comeback before Dinnebier connected from the left wing to give Pohlman the victory in her debut. Named the to the position in April after 14 years as an assistant with the Bulldogs, Pohlman became just the second Drake coach to win in her first game.
