NORMAL, Ill. – The Drake University women's basketball team starts its final road trip of the regular season Friday and Saturday at Illinois State in a two-game Missouri Valley Conference series. Both games will start at 4 p.m. and be streamed on ESPN+.
Last weekend, Drake (12-8, 10-2 MVC) reached double-digit MVC wins with its sweep of Southern Illinois at the Knapp Center. The Bulldogs have tallied 10 or more league wins seven-straight seasons under head coach Jennie Baranczyk, who recently became the school's all-time leader in conference victories, and first season was 2012-13. Prior to Baranczyk's 2014-15 team, the last Drake team to win 10 or more MVC wins in the regular season was the 2008-09 team.
