What was an offensive grind for the better part of four quarters still delivered an exciting finish Saturday at the McLeod Center. Little separation is expected when Drake and Northern Iowa meet.
With one final push, the Bulldogs snatched away a massive road win.
Drake scored the final seven points to escape with a 73-68 win, completing the season sweep over the Panthers for a second straight season. Allison Pohlman's first season has been a seesawing one, but this marks a big moment early in her tenure.
Facing a 68-67 deficit with two minutes remaining, two Bulldogs stepped up in a huge way.
