Drake firepower too much for Illinois State women

NORMAL — The Drake University women’s basketball team is a bit like an Amtrak train.

If an opponent doesn’t put some sort of obstacle in the way, the Bulldogs will roll right through town at a high rate of speed.

Reigning Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year Katie Dinnebier maintained a firm grip on the controls with both her shooting and passing Sunday at CEFCU Arena as Drake handled Illinois State an 85-64 defeat before a crowd of 2,519.
