Box Score (HTML)
 
KIRKSVILLE, Mo. – The eighth-ranked Drury Lady Panthers finished Monday night's game against the Truman Women on an 11-3 run and pulled away 57-46 in a showdown of the top two teams in the Great Lakes Valley Conference West Division.
 
Katie Jaseckas, who had a monster game on the glass for Truman, pulled Truman to within three at 46-43 with 7:30 left to play. The two teams did not score over the next two plus minutes before Lucia Fernandez started the 11-0 run with a pair of free throw makes. Hailey Diestelkamp scored the next four points for Drury and the rest came from the line.
 
The Bulldogs turned the ball over six times in the fourth quarter and were only 2-of-10 from the field. Drury was 3-of-16 in the final quarter but had eight offensive rebounds with just two turnovers.
 
The turnover bug plagued the Bulldogs all night. Coming into the contest, Truman was first in the GLVC and sixth in Division II with 166 turnovers and 12.8 per game. They had 16 turnovers at the half and finished with 27. Drury had 17 steals with six by Daejah Bernard.
 
Jaseckas pulled down 18 rebounds which matched the tenth best single game outing in school history and the most by a Bulldog since Georgia Mueller's 22 in 2008. She finished with eight points on 4-of-10 shooting. The Bulldogs won the glass 48-36 but Drury was able to turn their 27 turnovers into 28 points while Truman turned the Lady Panthers over 11 times for only seven points.
 
Sloane Totta led the Bulldogs with 12 points by going 4-of-4 from the field and two three-pointers.
 
Drury's top two guards, Alice Heinzler and Heather Harman were a combine 3-of-25 from the field and 1-of-16 from three. The Lady Panthers were just 3-of-27 from outside.
 
Diestelkamp scored 18 points and had 11 rebounds for Drury who won their 13th consecutive game. Her personal 5-0 run midway through the third quarter retook the lead for good after Sam Andrews had knocked down a three-pointer to put Truman up 37-35.
 
Drury led by as many as eight in the first quarter before Truman fought back to take a five-point lead with 2:40 left in the first half. The Bulldogs led by one at the break but Heinzler's only three-pointer to start the third turned the tide toward Drury.
 
The Bulldogs will now embark on a four-game road trip starting on Thursday against the University of Indianapolis at 4:30 p.m. central time.
