The Drake Women’s basketball team will be heading into the Missouri Valley Conference tournament on a three-game winning streak, as the Bulldogs picked up two close home wins on March 5 and 6 against a tough Valparaiso team. While the conference’s second-ranked Bulldogs did not expect to receive such a strong fight out of the seventh-ranked Valparaiso, the two home wins represented what graduate forward Monica Burich called “perseverance.” “If you were around to watch, you would see that we were not one hundred percent ourselves,” Burich said. “We just made mistakes that we usually don’t make. However, what these wins showed me is our willingness to win.
