Despite high-expectations the Bulldogs have found themselves in a hole at the start of regular season play.
After an average performance in preseason tourney play, finishing with a record of 16-9, Drake has entered regular season play on a seven game losing streak.
The Bulldogs were selected as favorites to win the MVC Championship in preseason polls. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, they seem to be flailing a little bit without ace-pitcher Nicole Newman.
Newman has not seen action since Feb. 24 when the Bulldogs faced Maryland in a preseason tourney. Drake has a record of 6-17 since Newman’s last outing against Maryland.
