Lady Panthers resume their season on Thursday at Missouri S&T
The Drury Lady Panthers will make their return to the court on Thursday at Missouri S&T for their first game in 22 days. Since Drury's Jan. 6 game against McKendree, a 96-62 win for the Lady Panthers, the team has endured two stints of quarantine protocols due to positive tests of the COVID-19 virus within the program.
 
Drury resumes their schedule with an 8-0 record, and they are the only unbeaten team in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. The Lady Panthers are also the number one ranked team in NCAA-II as they were a unanimous pick for first this week in the D2SIDA poll.
 
Missouri S&T is 2-11 and will be looking to snap a four-game losing streak. The Miners are coming off of an overtime loss at Southwest Baptist on Saturday, 92-86.
 
This is the second meeting of the year between the two teams. Drury won the earlier match-up, 97-74, at the O'Reilly Family Event Center on Dec. 18. Paige Robinson of Drury had a triple-double in that game, the second one in program history, with 22 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. The 74 points scored by the Miners, though, is the most Drury has given up in a game this season. The Lady Panthers lead the all-time series 30-3.
 
Following Thursday's game, Drury plays again on Saturday. The Lady Panthers take on Maryville for a 1 pm at Moloney Arena in St. Louis.
