Lady Panthers host Missouri S&T for Senior Day
Drury ends the regular season on Saturday and hosts Missouri S&T for Senior Day at 1 pm in the O'Reilly Family Event Center.
 
The Lady Panthers are 20-6, 16-3 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference and are coming off a 62-55 win at Missouri-St. Louis on Thursday. Drury is in second place in the league standings.
 
Missouri S&T is 15-10 and 10-9 in the GLVC. The Miners lost on Thursday at Lincoln, 61-53, and are in sixth place in the conference standings.
 
Missouri S&T handed Drury one of their three conference losses this season when they knocked off the Lady Panthers 63-57 in Rolla on Jan. 11. Drury's 57 points have been the fewest they've scored this season, and their .310 shooting percent (22 for 71) is also their season-low. The Miners win snapped a 23-game game losing streak to Drury, but the Lady Panthers still lead the all-time series 37-4.
 
Drury will advance to the GLVC Tournament in St. Charles, Mo., next week. If the Lady Panthers are the number two seed, they will play Thursday night; if they are seeded third, they will have a Friday night game in the quarterfinal round.
 
20 Wins
Drury's win on Thursday was their 20th win of the season and marks the 12th year in a row the Lady Panthers have won at least 20 games. Drury has now won at least 20 games in 22 of their 25 seasons in program history.
 
Season Marks
Two Drury players are climbing the program's single-season charts.
 
Caitlynn Daniels has 171 assists this year and is tied for the third-most in a single season at Drury. Daniels matched her own total of 171 from last season and needs just four more to pass Daejah Bernard, who had 174 in 2019-20. Bernard also holds the single-season record with 211 in 2018-19.
 
Makaiya Brooks has 68 three-pointers, the 13th most in a Drury single season. She is two away from Alice Heinzler's total of 70 in 2016 for 12th on the single-season chart.
