Stifling defense boosts No. 1 Drury women

A ragged 12-point second quarter on Saturday afternoon stands as a good testament to how dominating the No. 1-ranked Drury Lady Panthers are in women’s basketball.

How’s that? No matter how the offense played — including going more than 5 minutes without a point — the suffocating defense allowed only four points in the quarter to Missouri-St. Louis.

The thoroughly frustrated Tritons made 10 turnovers, including multiple shot-clock violations under the full-court pressure. That followed 13 turnovers in the first quarter.
