TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The Drake Bulldogs (10-14, 3-0 MVC) swept the series against the Indiana State Sycamores (11-10, 0-3 MVC) to open 2012 Missouri Valley Conference play. Drake won 2-0 on Sunday after taking the first two games against ISU on Saturday afternoon.

On Sunday, Drake sophomore Jordan Gronewold (Carlisle, Iowa) pitched four innings and allowed just three hits and struck out four to improve to 8-10 on the season. Rebekah Schmidt (Cottage Grove, Minn.) came on in relief for Gronewold for three innings to earn her third save.

Lindsey Vande Wall (Prairie City, Iowa) drove Amy Pierce (Olathe, Kan.) home in the fourth inning with a sacrifice fly to put the Bulldogs on the scoreboard, 1-0.

Senior Jaimie Duffek (Brookfield, Ill.) drove home the other Bulldog run in the seventh inning with an RBI single to plate Vande Wall.

Duffek, Pierce and Torey Craddock (Tucson, Ariz.) each had one hit on Sunday for Drake.

The Bulldogs will open their home schedule next Saturday, March 24 with Bradley. The series will begin on Saturday with a doubleheader and conclude on Sunday. Each day the games start at noon.
