Facing off against South Dakota State in a pair of games on Tuesday, Drake was unable to secure a win in the first game, a 10-6 loss. The Bulldogs came back in the second game, however, securing a 10-2 win.
For the first time since 1993, the Drake softball team can claim the title of Missouri Valley Conference champions.
Drake maintained their lead in the Missouri Valley Conference this weekend by sweeping an energetic Loyola University team in a three game series.
