Drake struggles to meet preseason expectations

The Drake women’s basketball team is well under way with its 2016 campaign, most recently picking up wins against Northern Illinois and Wyoming while losing to Creighton, Iowa State, and Green Bay. This stretch puts the Bulldogs at 3-3 heading into the rest of their season.

Drake hit the road against longtime rival Creighton, losing a back-and-forth affair 80-77. The game featured 14 lead changes along with seven ties and came down to the final minutes. The Bluejays led by five heading into the final quarter, but Drake came out firing and an 8-0 run gave the Bulldogs a two-point advantage with only three minutes to play.
