DES MOINES, IOWA — Drake continued its torrid perimeter shooting by making a season-high 13 three-point baskets en route to a 101- 57 nonconference romp past Simpson College Tuesday night at the Knapp Center. Drake, winning its fifth straight game, improved its record to 6-2 entering a Sunday nonconference home game with Northern Illinois. Simpson, which had a three-game winning streak snapped, fell to 6-2.

Drake opened the game, making eight of its first 10 shots from the floor including four straight three-point baskets, to race to a 23-10 lead. Drake shot 50 percent (38-76) from the floor. Freshman guard Katie Dinnebier added 15 points, including three three-point baskets and three steals. Guard Megan Meyer chipped in with 11 points. A scrappy Drake defense scored 23 points off Simpson turnovers. All 13 Drake players who suited up saw action.

The Bulldogs host Northern Illinois on Sunday Dec. 13. Tipoff is scheduled for 2 pm.
