Wichita State women’s basketball hoped on a bus to Peoria, Illinois with a sense of motivation after a four-point loss to Illinois State on Friday.
The Shockers ended the two-game losing drought on Sunday, defeating Bradley 76-69 on Sunday to sweep the season series with the Braves.
Junior point guard Keke Thompson missing her third straight game with a concussion and leading scorer and rebounder Rangie Bessard was sidelined due to an ankle injury, causing the Shockers to trail by as many as eight in the first quarter. A three from junior Jeliah Preston and a jump shot by junior Angiee Tompkins cut the Braves’ lead 16-14 at the end of the first quarter.
