PEORIA, Ill. -- Junior Whitney Tinjum (Stacy, Minn./Chisago Lakes/Washington State) scored 12 of her team-high 14 points in the second half to help Bradley cut an 18-point third-quarter deficit to five with three minutes left, but the Braves went the final 3:30 of play without a field goal as Drake hold on for a 76-64 victory Friday at Renaissance Coliseum.
After Drake (13-6 overall, 6-2 MVC) scored the first basket of the contest, Bradley (5-14 overall, 1-7 MVC) used a 10-0 run to grab a 10-2 lead nearing the midway point of the first quarter, with sophomore Anneke Schlueter (Ulm, Germany/Max-Weber-Schule) knocking down a three-pointer and notching an assist during the run.
