DES MOINES, Iowa – Maybe it was an accident that senior Lizzy Wendell even picked up a basketball more than 10 years ago. The Wendell household was never one destined for relaxation while her parents, Mike and Gina, kept up with the busy schedules of their nine kids. For the Blue Springs, Mo. native, this often times meant being dragged to her older sister's basketball practices where her dad was the coach. Perhaps these moments were what sparked Wendell's love affair – not to mention her success in a Drake uniform – for the game of basketball.
