DES MOINES, Iowa - The Indiana State women's basketball team struggled from the field on Friday night inside the Knapp Center, shooting just 29.1% in a 60-43 loss to the Drake Bulldogs.

The loss drops the Sycamores to 12-13 on the season and 6-7 in Missouri Valley Conference play while the Bulldogs improve to 13-12 overall, 7-7 within the league. Drake also wins the season series with Indiana State after their 67-59 victory in Terre Haute on Jan. 22.

Drake never trailed, using an 11-0 run over four minutes in the first half to take a 17-4 lead with 10:49 on the clock. The Bulldogs went into the locker room with a 32-19 lead at the break.

Seniors Deja Mattox and Brittany Schoen each tallied six points in the first half to the lead the Sycamores. Schoen knocked down a pair of three-pointers in the first half for ISU, tying Kelsey Luna's school record of 263 over her career.

Indiana State continued to fight in the second half, using a 6-0 run to cut Drake's lead to four points, at 38-34 with 11:10 to play. That was as close as ISU would get, however, as DU's Morgan Reid found space in ISU's zone defense for back-to-back layups to spark a 12-0 run and give the home side a 50-34 lead with 7:44 remaining.

The Sycamores hit just three field goals over the final 11 minutes of the game, shooting 26.7% (8-for-30) in the second half as the Bulldogs picked up the 60-43 victory.

Mattox led ISU with 11 points and seven rebounds, while sophomore Anna Munn added eight points, all coming in the second half.

DU's Rachael Hackbarth dominated the paint, posting her 11^th straight double-double with 20 points and 13 rebounds and holding senior Shannon Thomas to four points and one rebound.

Indiana State returns to the court on Sunday, Feb. 19, when the Sycamores travel to Omaha, Neb., to face the Creighton Bluejays. The Bluejays stand at 8-6 in the MVC after topping Illinois State, 68-59, on Friday.
