Drake Women’s Basketball has been on the up the last couple of seasons, but has appeared unstoppable in 2016-17. Riding a 12-game win streak, the Bulldogs have an 11-0 start in the Missouri Valley Conference, the best in program history. They also two-game buffer in the top seed of the conference, ahead of no. 2 Northern Iowa and its 9-2 record.
Drake kept up the momentum this weekend, picking up two strong wins against conference opponents Southern Illinois and Evansville on a two-game road trip.
Drake began their weekend in Carbondale taking on Southern Illinois. It was the second matchup between the powerhouse Bulldogs and middle-of-the-road Salukis.
