MOLINE, Ill. – The Drake University women's basketball team continued their March magic today with a dramatic victory over Missouri State in the MVC Tournament title game. The top-seeded Bulldogs survived a late push from the No. 3 seed Lady Bears to earn the 15th NCAA Tournament berth in program history.
The intensity was evident from the jump as Anna Miller got the scoring started on the first possession of the game after a feed from Grace Berg. Missouri State answered with a deuce from all-league selection Lacy Stokes.
Katie Dinnebier buried the game's first three-pointer to extend the Bulldogs' early lead.
