DES MOINES, IOWA – Megan Meyer, Grace Berg and Maggie Bair made sure their seniors went out on a winning note.

The three juniors combined for 50 points and helped the Drake University women’s basketball team rally for a 77-71 Senior Day victory over Bradley at the Knapp Center on Sunday afternoon.

Bradley jumped to a 14-point lead in the first half behind a flurry of 3-point baskets before the Bulldogs shut down the Braves over the final two quarters to win for the third straight time and keep alive the possibility of a .500 finish in the Missouri Valley Conference.

Drake improved to 15-12 overall and 7-9 in the league with two games remaining, both on the road. Bradley, losing at the Knapp Center for the 12^th time in the last 13 visits, fell to 4-22 and 1-16 despite big games from freshman Caroline Waite and senior Tatum Koenig.

Seniors Maddie Petersen, Hannah Fuller and Allie Woolridge were honored in a postgame ceremony, the Bulldogs’ strong second half making it a much happier occasion. They outscored the Braves 45-27 over the final two quarters and held them to 23.3 percent shooting (7-for-30).

The Bulldogs wrap up the regular with games at Evansville next Thursday, March 3, and at Indiana State two days later.
