Lady Panthers play two games in Florida
The fourth-ranked Drury Lady Panthers head to Fort Lauderdale, Florida for games on Dec. 16 and 17. Drury is 9-0 and has been idle since a 92-63 win at Arkansas-Fort Smith on Dec. 4.
 
Nova Southeastern is 5-3 and coming off of a road win at St. Leo 87-85 in overtime on Dec. 8. Drury will be the third ranked team the Sharks have played this season. Nova Southeastern lost to Union (Tenn.), currently ranked number one in Division II, 76-60 on Nov. 10, and they fell at home to 12th ranked Virginia Union 79-68 on Nov. 23.
 
Concordia is also 5-3 and will play their first game in Florida against the Lady Panthers on Monday. The Cavaliers picked up an 87-54 win over Warner Pacific on Dec. 8 in their last game.
 
Notes to Know:
A win on Sunday would give head coach Molly Miller her best start as head coach and Drury's first 10-0 start since the 2013-14 season. Should the Lady Panthers win both games on the road trip and go to 11-0, it would be their best start in program history.
 
Hailey Diestelkamp was last week's GLVC Player of the Week after scoring 30 points, grabbing 9 rebounds and going 14 for 21 from the field in Drury's lone game last week, a Dec. 4 win at Ark.-Ft. Smith. The junior from Owensville, Missouri has been named the league's Player of the Week twice this season and has been on rebound shy of a double-double in back-to-back games.
