Cailtlin Ingle scored 20 points and Lizzy Wendell added 15 as Drake snapped Iowa’s 14 game winning streak in the series with an 81-76 win in Des Moines. The Bulldogs led by as many as 13 points midway through the fourth quarter before the Hawkeyes staged a furious rally. Drake outscored the Hawkeyes 24-17 in the opening quarter and led the rest of the way.

Ally Disterhoft led Iowa with 24 points while Megan Gustafson had her seventh double-double with 20 points and 11 rebounds. The Hawkeyes fall to 8-4. Drake improves to 6-3 and it was the Bulldogs’ first win over the Hawkeyes since 2001.
