The Drake University women's tennis team heads to Illinois for two Missouri Valley Conference matches this weekend. The Bulldogs will meet Bradley at 11 a.m. on Saturday and follow that up with a 10 a.m. match with Illinois State on Sunday.
The Bulldogs (8-5, 2-0 MVC) topped Valparaiso last week, 6-1, to move into second place in the conference. Drake won every match in singles competition, including four victories in just two sets. They also won two of three doubles matches against Valpo. This is the second time in the last three conference seasons that the Bulldogs have won their first two conference matches.
