TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - Drake senior Rachael Hackbarth led the visiting Drake Bulldogs to a 67-59 road Missouri Valley Conference victory on Sunday afternoon in Terre Haute, scoring 24 of her career-high 32 in the second half as the Bulldogs rallied from an eight-point second-half deficit.

The loss is the third straight for the Sycamores, moving their record to 10-9 overall and 4-3 in the MVC. ISU's three-game skid is their longest under second-year head coach Teri Moren in her two years in Terre Haute. The win improves the Bulldogs to 10-8 on the season, 4-3 in league play.

The lead changed hands seven times early in the first half, with Indiana State taking control late to secure a 31-28 advantage at the half.

Senior Brittany Schoen led the Sycamores in the first half, going 3-for-5 from beyond the three-point arc and 2-for-2 at the charity stripe for 11 points. Freshman Racheal Mahan played 14 minutes off the bench, scoring eight first-half points. As a team, ISU shot 46.2% (12-for-26) from the field in the opening 20 minutes of action.

Indiana State took their largest lead of the game with 10:52 to play, using a 7-1 run to take an eight-point lead, at 49-41. Senior Deja Mattox capped the run, knocking down a step-back trey with the shot clock running down.

Drake followed Mattox's three-pointer with a 13-0 run of their own, turning ISU's eight-point lead into a five-point deficit, at 54-49, with 5:26 remaining. Hackbarth scored nine of Drake's 13 points during the decisive run. Drake took the lead on a jumper by Hackbarth with 6:52 to play, their first lead since holding a 12-11 advantage with 12:38 remaining in the first half.

Indiana State fought back and got within two points twice in the closing minutes, but could never regain the lead or tie the game again as Drake hit their last nine free-throws and scored on five straight possessions to end the game.

Schoen led ISU with a season-high 16 points, struggling after her strong start to finish just 5-for-15 from the field and 4-for-13 from long range. Mahan posted a career-high 12 points with five rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench, as senior Shannon Thomas battled foul trouble all afternoon. ISU's senior center played just 15 minutes, posting four points and going without a rebound for the first time in her career. Mattox was the third Sycamore to reach double figures, adding 11 points with nine in the second half.

Hackbarth finished the game with 32 points and 14 rebounds, going 10-for-17 from the field and 12-for-15 from the free-throw line. Sophomore Morgan Reid joined her teammate with a double-double, with 10 point and 11 boards.

Drake held a large advantage at the charity stripe, turning 23 ISU fouls into a 28-for-34 (82.4%) effort at the line. Indiana State by comparison went 9-for-16 (56.3%) at the line on Drake's 16 fouls.

The Sycamores begin the road-heavy stretch of their MVC schedule next weekend, as ISU plays five of their next seven games away from Terre Haute and Hulman Center. ISU's three-game road swing begins with a trip to Missouri State on Friday, Jan. 27.
