DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake University women's basketball team opened its exhibition schedule with a 92-59 win over the Central Missouri Jennies on Tuesday, Oct. 29 night at the Knapp Center.
Central Missouri won the Division II national championship in 2018 and features four D-I transfers on its roster. The Jennies showed their pedigree early before the Bulldogs pulled away to cruise to victory.
Becca Hittner jumped out of the gates with five quick points to lift Drake to a 9-4 lead at the first media timeout. Sara Rhine's turnaround jumper from the baseline to beat the first quarter buzzer gave the Bulldogs a 16-12 lead after the opening 10 minutes.
