Facing their first losing streak in Missouri Valley play, the Drake Bulldogs turned to one of their upperclassmen leaders.
Junior Lizzy Wendell scored 27 points in 24 minutes to lead Drake to a 91-61 victory over the Loyola Ramblers Friday night at the Knapp Center, ending a two-game losing streak.
After being limited to 14 points a week ago against Northern Iowa, Wendell found open shots with ease, especially in the third quarter. She scored the Bulldogs’ first six points, all on easy layups near the basket.
Her first two baskets came on nearly identical plays.
