MOLINE — It was impressive enough the first time. Yet the Drake women’s basketball team has doubled down.
The Bulldogs stormed through the Missouri Valley Conference regular season schedule unscathed at 18-0 for the second straight season and have won a Valley-record 40 straight regular-season league games entering the MVC Tournament, which begins Thursday at the TaxSlayer Center.
“I really like the depth of our team. I like our chemistry and culture,” Drake coach Jennie Baranczyk said. “We’ve done a really nice job of playing together.”
The Bulldogs are 23-7 overall and the top seed for the MVC Tournament.
