The Drake and UNI women collide tonight (Wednesday night) in Des Moines. Both teams are 3-1 in Missouri Valley play and UNI coach Tanya Warren says the Bulldogs like to change defenses.
Warren says the Bulldogs will be difficult to guard.
The Bulldogs are coming off home wins over Belmont and Murray State.
That’s Drake coach Allison Pohlman. The Bulldogs have won three straight in conference play despite losing senior guard Megan Meyer to a season ending knee injury.
That’s senior forward Grace Berg.
Iowa State women’s coach Bill Fennelly says replacing Stephanie Soares will be a work in progress. ISU’s senior center suffered a season ending ACL injury in Sunday’s loss at Oklahoma. The 15th ranked Cyclones are at home Wednesday night against Kansas State.
Fennelly says the Cyclones will be a different type of team going forward.
Fennelly says they will try to get Soares another season.
Iowa State is 4-0 in the Big 12. The 14th ranked Cyclones raced out to a 19-point lead at halftime and clobbered Texas Tech 84-50, Tuesday. Gabe Kalscheur had a season high 25 points to go along with seven rebounds.
That’s ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger. The Cyclones dominated the glass and forced 18 turnovers.
Otzelberger says the key to the fast start was defense.
Drake finally broke through on the road. Tucker DeVries scored seven points in the final minute-11 of overtime, Tuesday, as the Bulldogs won at Illinois-Chicago 76-71. Drake won despite squandering a late five point lead in regulation.
That’s Drake coach Darian DeVries who says while the Bulldogs made some mistakes a number of players stepped up when needed.
Drake improves to 4-3 in the Missouri Valley.
UNI used a late 18-0 run to beat Murray State 75-67 Tuesday night, in Cedar Falls. It was a game the Panthers trailed by nine with about eight minutes remaining.
