PEORIA, IL – Junior forward Sierra Morrow scored a career-high 15 points to lead four Bradley players in double-figures, but Missouri State rode a strong close to the third quarter to a 72-56 Missouri Valley Conference women's basketball win Sunday afternoon at Renaissance Coliseum.
Triggered by a pair of Morrow 3-pointers early in the third quarter, Bradley closed a 13-point deficit to 40-36 when freshman Abbie Draper sank two free throws with 3:29 left in the period, but Missouri State answered with a 15-0 run to close the quarter, then pushed its lead to as many as 22 points midway through the fourth quarter.
