As the Iowa State women’s basketball team has gotten further into the non-conference portion of its schedule, things were expected to get a little tougher. But four games into the season, no one has really been able to truly test the No.

The Iowa women’s basketball team ventured across the state to Des Moines on Sunday to take on in-state rival Drake. In the toughest competition of the season so far, the Hawkeyes managed to outlast the Bulldogs’ three-point shooting and finished the afternoon with an 86-73 win.
