Last week, the Drake women’s basketball team played two games, one against the Bradley Braves on Feb. 8 and another on Feb. 10 against the Illinois State Redbirds.
In the Bulldogs’ first game against the Braves, spirits were incredibly high in the Knapp Center, when the Bulldogs got an early 11-point lead before the Braves had put any points up. Drake finished the first quarter with a 20-12 lead. In the second quarter, the Braves battled fiercely to try to take back the lead before the half, but in true Bulldog fashion, Drake withheld a 35-29 lead going into the locker room at the half.
