PEORIA, Ill. -- Currently alone in second in the Missouri Valley Conference standings, Bradley Women's Basketball faces the two teams directly behind it in the league standings this week with the Braves visiting three-time defending MVC regular season champion Drake Thursday, before closing out a two-game road swing Saturday afternoon at Northern Iowa.
Bradley (19-4 overall, 10-2 MVC) brings a three-game win streak into Thursday's 6 p.m. game at third-place Drake (18-7 overall, 10-3 MVC) as the Braves shoot for their first regular-season series sweep of the Bulldogs since 2009-10 after winning the season's first meeting 77-76 at Renaissance Coliseum last month.
