December 23rd, 2021 by Ric Hanson

Drake women use longball to take down Minnesota

Sports

December 23rd, 2021 by admin

DES MOINES — The Drake University women’s basketball team hit Minnesota with a barrage of 3-pointers in the fourth quarter and pulled away to a 77-63 victory at the Knapp Center on Thursday afternoon to close out the nonconference portion of its schedule with an impressive win.

The Bulldogs (8-3) bounced back from a disappointing performance in a loss at Nebraska on Sunday with a 48-point second half that featured the type of play Drake fans have become accustomed to seeing — crisp passes that found open shooters or led to layups and sharp shooting.

Ahead just 29-27 at halftime, Drake shot 73.9 percent in the second half (17-of-23), including a sizzling 8-for-10 effort in the third quarter. That carried the Bulldogs to 48.3 percent for the game (29-of-60) and they had assists on 24 of those baskets.

Drake was clinging to 53-51 lead when the 3-pointers began raining in. The Bulldogs made six straight from behind the arc in a 5-minute stretch to blow out to a 77-58 lead.

Drake, which has won seven of its last eight, opens Missouri Valley Conference play against Indiana State at the Knapp Center on Thursday, Dec. 30. The 8-3 record is the Bulldogs’ best mark in nonconference play since the 1994-95 team went 8-0 en route to a 13-0 start.

Former classmates of Avery Andersen, who tragically passed away today in an automobile accident, are organizing a prayer vigil tonight. Anyone who wishes to attend may join at 7:00 p.m. at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Atlantic. The prayer vigil to support the family and remember Avery is open to all.

The Atlantic vs St. Albert girls basketball game that was to take place this evening at the high school has been postponed out of respect to the family as well.
