The Drake women’s soccer team kicks off conference play with a bang, avenging the Drake men’s soccer team and beating Valparaiso at home on Saturday.
Saturday night was definitely sweatshirt weather, a welcome break from the buggy and humid atmosphere Des Moines has dealt with these past few weeks, reminding the audience what September weather is supposed to feel like. With only one matchup this week, the Bulldogs were rested and ready to go on Saturday with a clear objective in mind.
“[Conference play] is where it all starts to count. We have prepared for the past few months for conference and this was the start of showing all that hard work we have put in so far,” shared redshirt senior forward Rebecca Rodgers.
