Drake woman’s bball coach says team is healthier

Drake women’s basketball coach Allison Pohlman believes improved health in the guard court will help the Bulldogs bounce back from a rare losing season. Drake slumped to 12-20 last season, snapping a streak of 12 straight winning seasons, including 10 of 20 wins or more.

The three injured players are part of a 14-player roster that includes 10 who are returning from last season.

Pohlman says Mya Crawford was cleared at the start of summer workouts. Mylea Monahan is expected to be cleared at the end of summer and Peyton McCabe is expected to be ready for preseason practice. She played in 19 games before suffering a season ending ACL injury.
