Drake women's basketball rolls to victory at Valparaiso behind Katie Dinnebier's 26 points
VALPARAISO, Ind. – The Drake women’s basketball team started a two-game road stretch with an 83-54 rout of Valparaiso on Friday. The Bulldogs (11-4, 4-0 Missouri Valley Conference) used an explosive second half to sprint past Valpo (1-12, 0-4) in a sparsely populated Athletics-Recreation Center.
“Winning on the road is never easy,” Drake coach Allison Pohlman said. “We didn’t have to make too many adjustments, just needed to do what we do well. We came out a little tentative … got a little stifled in the first quarter and looked a little surprised at how well Valpo shot it to start. But I’m really proud of our entire team for how we responded in the second half … it’s never easy to win on the road.”
Katie Dinnebier continued her superb 2023-24 campaign with a game-high 26 points on 8-of-10 shooting and 4-of-5 three-point shooting. She also added six assists to lead all players.
Drake also got double-figure efforts from Grace Berg with 18 and Anna Miller with 16. Berg added eight rebounds while Miller led all players with 10 to complete her sixth double-double of the season.
The Bulldogs are scheduled to complete their road swing on Sunday at Illinois-Chicago.
