Lisa Bluder BASKETBALL Women hoopsters to face Drake The Iowa women’s basket- ball team (5-5, 0-1 Big Ten) will return to Carver- Hawkeye Arena to face Drake (6-2) at 1 p.m. on Dec. 20. The game will be televised live on the Big Ten Network. Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder has won the last seven contests against her former team, including a 71- 53 win in Des Moines last season. But the Hawkeyes enter this year’s meeting having lost three straight. Conversely, the Bulldogs are riding a four-game win- ning streak. Monique Jones and Rachael Hackbarth each tallied 14 points to help lead Drake to a JULIE KOEHN/THE DAILY IOWAN 70-58 home victory over Iowa players celebrate following an 11-yard run by quarterback Ricky Stanzi during the second quarter of the Outback Bowl on Jan. 1 in Tampa, Fla.
