Lady Panthers aim for second straight undefeated regular season  
The Drury Lady Panthers look for their second straight undefeated regular season as they host Rockhurst on Saturday for Senior Day and Homecoming 2020.
 
Drury is 28-0 and 19-0 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. The Hawks enter the game 10-17 and 4-15 in the league.
 
The Lady Panthers finished the regular season in 2018-19 with a 28-0 record and an 18-0 mark in the GLVC. Should Drury win on Saturday, they would become the first team in league history to go undefeated in league play in back-to-back seasons. Since 1981, there have only been four teams in the GLVC that have completed unbeaten runs in conference play: Southern Indiana (20-0 in 1997), Drury (19-0 in 2006), Lewis (18-0 in 2016), and Drury again (18-0 in 2019).
 
The Lady Panthers will open the postseason in the quarterfinals of the GLVC on Thursday with a 2:30 pm game in Edwardsville, Illinois. Drury has clinched the number one seed in the league tournament.
