Women's Basketball Hosts Annual Media Day

The Drake University women's basketball team hosted its annual media day on Thursday, Oct. 20, meeting with the local media to preview the upcoming 2016-17 season. Drake head coach Jennie Baranczyk enters her fifth season with nine returning players plus three freshmen. Seniors Caitlin Ingle and Lizzy Wendell were the Missouri Valley Conference's top assist and scoring leaders, respectively, last season. Ingle handed out 6.9 assists per game while Wendell poured in 19.6 points a game. The pair helped Drake finish 23-10 season as the team recorded its second-straight 20+plus win season, a feat that hadn't been done since the 2000-01 and 2001-02 seasons.
