The Drake women will begin a quest for a second straight Missouri Valley Conference Tournament title in the Quad Cities Friday afternoon. The top seeded and regular season champion Bulldogs will play the winner of Thursday’s game between Indana State and Southern Illinois.
That’s Drake coach Allison Pohlman. One of the strengths for the Bulldogs is depth and that will be a plus when needing to win three games in three days.
Pohlman says the Bulldogs are focused on their first game and not the entire bracket.
Pohlman says one of their preseason goals was to win the tournament and return to the NCAA Tournament.
Drake is 26-5 overall and finished 19-1 in the Valley regular season race.
