Drake Women Extend Winning Streak to Four Games with Defeat of Purple Aces

DES MOINES, Iowa – An early scoring burst propelled the Drake women's basketball team to its fourth straight victory and best conference start in five years.

Katie Dinnebier's 17-point, 11-assist double-double led five double-figure scorers as the Bulldogs beat Evansville 78-68 at the Knapp Center on Saturday afternoon – their 17th-straight victory over the Aces.

Drake improved to 10-4 overall and 3-0 in the Missouri Valley Conference, the team's best start in conference play since winning its first seven MVC games in the 2018-19 season. The Bulldogs remain tied for first with Murray State, Belmont and Missouri State.
