GO DAWGS!

Man we are gonna miss Silvey and Brockmeyer - tough to replace. New coach has some serious recruiting to do.
Well at least it's them and not us.
At the last few women's games it's been interesting watching our bench. Every time a player subs out they get a new mask.
Our DBO (former player Rachel Pudlowski) and the GA are the ones handling that duty.

We're gonna miss all five of our seniors. Gabby Walker is in the top 15 in scoring in the conference too. Link is a really good primary ball handler. And McCallister can get hot at any time.

Coming up tonight at 6pm CT on ESPN+ Lady Dawgs at The Drake as we start the Iowa swing.
Drake has been struggling as of late they have only won 2 of thier last 6 and are 9-6 (1-3 MVC) on the season. With losses by 10 to Valpo (we beat Valpo by 10) and Loyola by 17 (we beat Loyola by 13.)
Drake averages 77.9 a game and gives up 69 a game. They have 3 averaging double figures led by Grace Berg's 11.7 a game who is tied with our Gabby Walker for 14th in the league. Drake is ranked 83rd in the NET. We are ranked 100.
Silvey and Brockmeyer are third and fourth in the league in scoring. Silvey is now 66 points from becoming SIU's all-time leading scorer. Brockmeyer is the only women's player -nationally- averaging at least 15 points 10 rebounds and 2 assists a game.
In recent years Drake has been pasting us in Des Moines (and Carbondale too for that matter) but I think we have a good chance at taking this.

Without Abby for 16 minutes of the 1st half and Gabby for the last 5 with 2 fouls....
Halftime
SIU 27
DRAKE 33
Mak with 13 kept us in it. And the usual quality MVC officiating has given Drake a lead.

Brockmeyer thrown to the ground and picks up her 3rd.
Walker hit in the face on a shot and called for her 3rd. Then a Drake player just runs into the back of her and flops and picks up her 4th.
Bull shit Valley Refs.
