The Drury Dozen is an annual list of our favorite moments of the year from Drury Athletics. The list is not necessarily the most significant events but the special games and moments we'll always associate with 2023-24 as chosen by the Drury Athletics sports communications staff.
 
We'll provide honorable mention selections later in the countdown, but for now, here is our eighth-ranked moment from 2023-24:
