Drake pulled off an upset Sunday afternoon as the Bulldogs defeated No. 24 Iowa State in a matchup of the two instate rivals. The Cyclones were previously undefeated and the loss moved their record to 1-1 while the Bulldogs improved their own ledger to 2-1.
The Bulldogs were led by 20 points from sophomore forward Rachel Hackbarth, who also collected five assists in the game. Amber Wollschlager came off the bench to add 16 points for Drake while senior Jordann Plummer and freshman Kayla Person chipped in 12 and 10 points, respectively.
Hot shooting anchored the Bulldogs as the team shot nearly 60 percent from the field in the second half and iced several key free throws down the stretch to thwart ISU.
Kelsey Bolte led three Cyclones in double-figures, scoring with 18 points.
Drake will return to action on Dec. 5 when the team travels to Colorado Springs, Colo., to face the Air Force Academy Falcons.
