BACK-TO-BACK DOUBLE-DOUBLES
For the third time in as many seasons, an IPFW player has picked up a double-double in back-to-back games.

A season prior, current student-assistant coach Eva Ivanova picked up double-doubles against both Oral Roberts (2/7/2009) and Centenary (2/9/200). The last time a Mastodon has had a double-double in three straight games was in February of 2000, when Trish Fleming had a double-double against St. Joseph's (2/15/2000), Indianapolis (2/17/2000), and Northern Kentucky (2/19/2000).

BIG DEBUTS

Stephanie Rosado became the third player in as many seasons to accomplish the feat when she scored 15 against Wright State, with the pair joining the list this year.

Jessica Henry was previously the only other player to make a three-pointer in every game during a season, and she is also in second behind Boese for the school record for most consecutive games with a three-point basket.

SHE CAN GIVE IT AS WELL AS SHE CAN TAKE IT
Last season against Indiana Tech, IPFW senior Jordan Zuppe dished out a career-high 10 assists, making her the first Mastodon player since IPFW joined NCAA Division I in 2001-02 to have an individual 25-point game, and a 10-assist game during their careers. Zuppe scored 27 points as a freshman against UMKC.

INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION
This summer, current IPFW junior Stephanie Rosado was a member of the Puerto Rico National Team. As a member of the PR squad, she helped lead the team to Gold Medals at the Centrobasket Championships, and the 2010 Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games.

In the Centrobasket Championships, Rosado was the only player on the Puerto Rico squad to score in double figures in every game, averaging 12 points per game, pulling down 5.6 rebounds per game, and hitting 20-of-41 shots from the field, and 14-of-18 free throws, the latter was the seventh best overall in the tournament.

The Gold Medal at the Centrobasket Championships also guarantees Puerto Rico a spot for the 2011 FIBA-Americas Championship for Women (Pre-Olympic) and to the 20111 Pan-American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico.

M-MILESTONES COME IN PAIRS
There are 13 current members of the 1,000-point club (Roman Numeral 'M'), and on three occasions, teammate milestones came in the same season. The first duo to reach 1,000-career points in the same season was Lisa Miller and Robin Scott in 1989-90. It was Miller's sophomore year and Scott's junior season, as the pair currently rank 1st and 6th on the all-time scoring list. Lindy Jones and Jennie Newhard each accomplished the feat in 1994-95, Jones' coming early in her junior season, and Newhard as a senior. The final duo was Johnna Lewis-Carlisle and Ashley Johnson. Lewis-Carlisle was a junior, while Johnson was a senior. It is likely this season that the list will add another grouping to it, as seniors Jordan Zuppe and Chelsey Jackson have 951 and 860 points, respectively, with 27 games still on the schedule for the season.
