About Drake
- Located in Des Moines, Iowa.
- Wednesday will be the debut for new Bulldog head coach Allison Pohlman.
- The Bulldogs were 18-12 last season, going 13-5 in the MVC.
- Drake has three of five starters back from the 2020-21 season, but post player Maggie Bair saw significant time and will slide into a starting role easily.
