Drake softball is now first place in the MVC after sweeping Valparaiso this past weekend in three. The Bulldogs are the only conference team with only one conference loss and are looking to add to their 10 wins and 10-game winning streak in the Valley thus far. Drake also has the second-best overall conference record in the league at .649 percent and has played the most difficult teams out of the conference this season.
“It’s awesome [to be in first],” Taryn Pena, infielder, said. “We had a great weekend and our pitchers dominated like they have been so it feels good right now and we want to stay there to keep working hard and getting those wins.
