March 22nd, 2022 by admin
Drake poured in 22 points in the fourth quarter and picked up a 62-55 win over UNI in the second round of the WNIT on Monday. It was a pretty tight game most of the way with both offenses struggling to find their groove. The Bulldogs opened up the 4th on a 9-0 run and that proved to be enough to get the win.
Maggie Bair led Drake with 13 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 blocks. Anna Miller had a double-double with 10 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 blocks off the bench. The Bulldogs improved to 20-13 on the season and will advance on to the quarterfinals. Drake completed a three-game season sweep of the Panthers and it was their 5th win in a row in the series.
UNI was led by 11 points from Kam Finley and Grace Boffeli, Karli Rucker, and Cynthia Wolf each added 10. UNI ends the season with a record of 23-11.
Drake will play at South Dakota State on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. for the quarterfinal round.
