HEAR FROM HEAD COACH CLARISSA CHUN 

“Since November I feel like there has been a lot of positive feedback on our sport; how exciting it is, or how much action there is. Hosting these duals in Carver has allowed us to expand the circle of women’s wrestling and show the world what these women can do. Our women are strong, powerful, fast, all of the things. We want our fans to continue to show up and we want it to expand beyond Iowa. We are so grateful for the fans that show up and bring that energy to our program because our team feeds off of the energy that they bring.”

DES MOINES, Iowa – The two highest-scoring teams in Missouri Valley Conference women’s basketball hooked up at the Knapp Center on Sunday afternoon and the game played out just as might be expected. Points came in bunches on both ends as Drake outlasted Murray State 107-98 to remain unbeaten in conference play.

The Bulldogs (14-4, 7-0 MVC) got career games from Grace Berg and Anna Miller and production throughout the lineup in winning for the eighth straight time and remaining perfect in three games with Murray State (12-4, 5-2)

“It’s a great weekend to be a Bulldog,” Suzie Glazer Burt Head Coach Allison Pohlman said after the game. “[That game] was a lot of fun. That was a really good team we took on today and we just took advantage of the opportunity.”

Berg got the team started by knocking down consecutive three-pointers in the game’s first minute and kept it up, finishing with a career-high 30 points. She went 5-for-9 from distance, 7-for-13 overall and sank 11 free throws in 14 tries.

Miller scored a career-best 23 points on 9-of-13 shooting and put together a strong line with eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and four blocks, a couple of them on Murray State star Katelyn Young, who led the Racers with 28 points.

Katie Dinnebier added 20 points before fouling out with 2 minutes left, giving the Bulldogs three 20-plus scorers for the first time since an 85-73 victory over Iowa State back in November. Dinnebier also grabbed five rebounds, handed out four assists and made two steals.

Courtney Becker also came up big in flirting with a triple-double, finishing with 12 points, nine rebounds and career-high eight assists. Taylor McAulay scored eight of her 11 points in the second half and made a key steal in the final minute when the Bulldogs were trying to secure the victory.

Drake’s next three games are on the road, starting with a 6 p.m. contest Thursday at Bradley.

The win streak for the second ranked Iowa Hawkeye women is over at 15. Ohio State outscored the Hawkeyes 17-9 in overtime as the 18th ranked Buckeyes claimed a 100-92 victory in Columbus. It was a game Iowa led by 12 early in the fourth quarter.

That’s Iowa coach Lisa Bluder.Caitlin Clark poured in 45 points but the Hawkeyes had no answer for Ohio State sophomore forward Cotie (Koh-tee) McMahon, who had a career high 33 points and added 12 rebounds.

Mollie Davis continued her strong play for the Hawkeyes. She finished with 14 points and eight assists.

Caitlin Clark was running off of the court after the game, when a court-storming fan collided with her. She spun and fell to the ground as her concerned teammates and coaching staff rushed over to help her. In a post-game press conference, Clark said “[It was] kind of scary and could’ve caused a pretty serious injury to me and knocked the wind out of me, but luckily my teammates kind of picked me up and got me off the court.”

“Their AD already came and apologized to me,” Clark said, “so I really appreciate that.” Hawkeyes coach Lisa Bluder said she was disappointed that her players weren’t able to walk off of the floor safely.

The Hawkeyes fall to 7-1 in the Big Ten and 18-2 overall.

The Drake women have sole possession of the lead in the Missouri Valley Conference. Grace Berg had a career high 30 points, Anna Miller added 23 as the Bulldogs outscored Murray State 107-98. It was Drake’s eighth straight victory and the Bulldogs are 7-0 in the Valley.

That’s Drake coach Allison Pohlman. It capped a weekend that saw the Bulldogs beat the other two Valley co-leaders after a Friday win over Belmont.

The Northern Iowa women had a four game winning streak snapped with a 72-67 loss to Belmont in Cedar Falls. The Panthers shot only 39 percent as they fall to 4-2 in the Valley.

That’s UNI coach Tanya Warren who says the Panthers had trouble adjust to the Belmont defense.
