 the top-seeded Drake women’s basketball team won its second-straight Missouri Valley Conference Tournament and NCAA berth on Sunday with a 75-63 win over third-seeded Northern Iowa.

For the second straight year Drake (26-7) rolled through the regular season and conference tournament without a loss – and for good measure knocked off Northern Iowa in the title game – though not with the dramatics of last year’s 74-69 overtime triumph.

Drake will host an NCAA Tournament Selection Show watch party tonight at its practice facility, while Northern Iowa awaits its fate for postseason play as the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) announces its field of 64 tonight at 8 p.m.
