DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake University women's basketball team led wire-to-wire against Loyola on Sunday afternoon, beating the Ramblers, 80-52, to extend its home winning streak to 16 games. The result marks the Bulldogs' 12th-straight victory over Loyola.
Becca Hittner tallied a game-high 17 points to bring her career total to 1,937, seventh-most in program history. Sara Rhine, who earlier this weekend became the fifth Drake women's player to eclipse 2,000 points for her career, recorded 14 points and a game-best nine rebounds.
Drake (15-6, 7-2 MVC) held the Ramblers scoreless for the first 3:12 of the game, and it proved to be a sign of things to come.
