Third quarter spurt pushes Drake past Evansville

EVANSVILLE – The University of Evansville women's basketball team fell victim to a big third quarter run by visiting Drake on Sunday afternoon, dropping a 73-48 decision at the Ford Center.

"I think we did some good things defensively, but we have to finish those possessions" UE head coach Matt Ruffing said. "They had 20 offensive rebounds and 23 points off of those. That's a back-breaker, especially when you see how that run played out in the third quarter. We kept fighting when things weren't going our way, but we couldn't get that defensive rebound when we needed it.
