Despite high-expectations the Bulldogs have found themselves in a hole at the start of regular season play.
The Drake softball team has been warming up in preseason play since the beginning of February. Thus far, they are ranked 3rd overall in the Missouri Valley Conference preseason play with a record of 12-5. The Bulldogs’ latest outing at the Mardi Gras Classic gave them five wins and one loss.
The Bulldogs returned home on Saturday Dec. 3, after four straight games on the road three of which were in Alaska. Drake took on Fresno State at the Knapp Center and fell in overtime for their fifth straight loss.
