(AP) --  Kachine Alexander scored a season-high
26 points and No. 14 Iowa snuck past Drake 75-71 on Monday night to
give coach Lisa Bulder her 200th win with the Hawkeyes.

Kamille Wahlin and Jaime Printy each added 13 for Iowa (11-1),
which blew an 11-point lead but recovered for its ninth straight
win over the Bulldogs.

Drake's Angela Christianson grabbed a loose ball and converted a
3-point play to tie the game at 71 with 1:10 left. But Kamille
Wahlin answered with a layup, and Kristin Turk front-rimmed a 3
with 7 seconds left that would have brought the Bulldogs even.

The Bulldogs had nine steals in the first half and took a
surprising 39-33 lead into the break. Iowa answered with a 28-11
run to start the second half.

Rachel Hackbarth had 27 points for Drake (5-5), which fell to
0-2 against ranked teams. The Bulldogs lost at No. 21 Iowa State
64-46 on Nov. 15.
