Less than 48 hours after defeating Hampton, Iowa State fell on Sunday afternoon in a 70-74 loss to Drake at the Knapp Center in Des Moines. Iowa State had not lost to Drake since 2009. Jadda Buckley led the way for the Cyclones with 18 points. Seanna Johnson finished with 16 points and 16 rebounds.
The Bulldogs got off to a strong start and led by as much as seven points in the 1st quarter before the Cyclones clawed back to lead by one at the end of the first 10 minutes. Drake used a 12-point run to extend its lead to double digits midway through the 2nd quarter, but Iowa State once again trimmed the deficit and was down just one point at the halftime break.
