Charging Colorado Squad Ends Bulldogs' Record-Setting Season in NCAA First Round

MANHATTAN, Kan. – The Drake university women's basketball team saw their record-setting 2023-24 campaign come to an end on Friday night. The No. 12 seed Bulldogs battled the No. 5 seed Colorado Buffaloes but were outmatched in the second half and came up short, 86-72.

The Bulldogs got the scoring started after Anna Miller outjumped star Colorado forward Aaronette Vonleh for the tip. The ball found its way to Courtney Becker all alone at the top of the key where she buried a triple. Becker gave Drake an early 5-0 lead after collecting an offensive rebound and finishing the putback on the Dogs' next trip down the floor.
