DES MOINES, Iowa – Sophomore Becca Hittner (Urbandale, Iowa) converted a three-point play with two seconds left for the Drake University women's basketball team in a thrilling back-and-forth in-state contest against Iowa State, 83-80, Thursday evening in the Knapp Center in front of a season-high 3,212 fans.
With the game tied at 80-all, Hittner's eventual winner came on a driving layup in the lane as she banked it in and Iowa State's Bridget Carlton was called for the block. Hittner calmly sank the free throw and then on the ensuing Iowa State possession blocked Carlton's tying three-point attempt as Drake (4-3) earned the win.
