QUICK HITTERS
•    Monday's game is the last home game for seniors Jordan Zuppe, Chelsey Jackson, and Sarah Haluska
•    With a win on Monday night, IPFW would cement no worse than the second seed in the upcoming League Tournament
•    Jordan Zuppe was named the Summit League Player of the Week on January 15, as IPFW became the first program since Oakland in 2006-07 to have three different players earn POW honors in the same season. Stephanie Rosado (November 23), and Kayla Drake (January 25) have also been named Summit League Player of the Week this season.
•    IPFW has program's best start since the 1995-96 team opened the season with a 22-3 record

•    Jordan Zuppe currently sits third in Summit League history with 243 career three-point baskets made, and Anne Boese is 12th with 207.
•    Jordan Zuppe climbed into third in career assists at IPFW, now with 314 career assists, and needs 19 to move into second

RECORD-SETTER
Within a two-game span, IPFW senior Jordan Zuppe set a pair of IPFW career records. Against SIU Edwardsville, Zuppe became the career leader in three-point field goals made, moving past Amy Gearlds, who had 239 in her two years with the program. Then against North Dakota State, Zuppe played in her 115th career game, more than any other player in program history, and one past the previous record holder, Johnna Lewis-Carlisle, who finished her four-year career with 114 games played.

ONCE, TWICE, THREE TIMES FOR IPFW
After her strong performance against Oakland on Saturday, February 12, IPFW senior Jordan Zuppe has been named the Summit League Player of the Week. For Zuppe, it was her first honor of the season, and the second in her career, as she earned the honor in the last week of the 2007-08 season, her freshman year. Zuppe joins Stephanie Rosado (November 23), and Kayla Drake (January 25) as Mastodons who have earned the honor this season. Having three different players from the same team earn the honor is a first for the Summit League since Oakland had Hanna Reising, Nicole Piggott, and Jessica Pike earn Player of the Week honors in the 2006-07 season.

SHARP SHOOTING
IPFW has had its share of sharp shooting lately, hitting over half of its shots in five of the last six games, and seven times in the last 11 contests, raising the team's shooting percentage from .409 on December 29, to its current standing of .451. The team had made over half of its shots in four straight games, the longest such streak in the program's Division I history, and has nine total games shooting over .500, as the program had 10 total games shooting over .500 from 2003-04 until 2009-10, seven total seasons and 203 games.

FIRST WINS
Before January 22 and 24, the Mastodons had never previously defeated South Dakota State or North Dakota State in Summit League play, and within that three-day span, both of those streaks came to an end, the first with a 70-67 overtime win over South Dakota State, and the latter with a 68-55 win at North Dakota State. Adding to the first wins category, IPFW won its first game on Oakland University's home floor, the O'rena, for the first time in nine previous tries.

EARLIER THIS SEASON AGAINST THE JACKRABBITS
A career-night by IPFW sophomore Kayla Drake helped push the Mastodons to the program's first win over the South Dakota State Jackrabbits by a 70-67 final score in overtime, as head coach Chris Paul becomes the career wins leader for the women's basketball program.
   The win improved IPFW's record to 12-5 on the season, the best start to a year since the 1995-96 team started the season 15-2, while upping the Mastodons' record to 6-2 in Summit League play.
    Drake scored a career-high 27 points while picking up a school-record 10 steals and grabbing eight rebounds, nearly becoming the first player in program history to record a triple-double. Chelsey Jackson added 11 points while Stephanie Rosado scored eight and Jordan Zuppe seven.
    Drake's 10 steals breaks the previous single-game school record of eight held by Lindy Jones, who had eight against UW-Parkside on January 25, 1996.

RACING TO THE WINS
IPFW's 18-7 start to the 2010-11 season marks the fifth time in program history that a team has started a season with that record or better through the first 25 games of the season. The 1995-96 team holds the high-water mark through 25 games, opening the year 22-3 before earning an at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament. The 1989-90 team had a 20-5 record, while the 1991-92 team had a 19-6 record, and the 1990-91 team 18-7.

NEARLY THE BEST IN INDIANA
With its 18-7 record, the IPFW women's basketball team has the second best winning percentage of any Division I school inside the state of Indiana. Below is the listing of all 10 Indiana DI schools, and their 2010-11 records

SCOUTING THE JACKRABBITS
South Dakota State comes into Monday's senior night game having won six of its last seven games, including a 24-point victory at Oakland on Saturday afternoon.
    In the Oakland game, Kristin Rotert scored a team-high 19 points, making 5-of-7 shots from long range, while Jennie Sunnarborg poured in 18 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Jill Young also made five three-point baskets, on 11 attempts, scoring 15 points and pulling down seven rebounds of her own. Katie Lingle was the fourth and final Jackrabbit player to reach double figures in the scoring column with 10, while pulling down 11 rebounds for the double-double.
    Overall, SDSU out-rebounded North Dakota State 54-24 in the game, as 10 of 11 players to see time in the game had at least three rebounds. Young and Macie Michelson each dished out a team-high four assists, as SDSU totaled 17 assists against just 18 turnovers.
    For the season, the Jackrabbits are led by Sunnarborg, who averages 14.3 points per game, with Rotert and Young close behind with averages of 13.2 and 10.7 points per game, each. Lingle, Ashley Eide, and Michelson average 6.1, 5.6, and 5.2 points per game each, to add depth to the double-figure scoring trio.
    Lingle pulls down 5.1 rebounds per game, as three others, Leah Dietel (4.8), Rotert (4.8), and Sunnarborg (4.7) average over four and a half boards per game. Young has dished out a season-high 59 assists, with Michelson (58) and Rotert (52) close behind in that category. Sunnarborg has a team-best 40 blocked shots, while Young has picked up 33 steals, most on the squad.

SERIES AGAINST SOUTH DAKOTA STATE
Before IPFW's victory over the Jackrabbits in Brookings earlier this season, South Dakota State had not lost a game to the Mastodons, winning each of the first dozen meetings, including a 7-0 record since each school joined the Summit League, both for the 2007-08 season.

CLIMBING THE CONFERENCE LADDER
IPFW senior Jordan Zuppe is either ranked, or near being ranked, inside of the top-20 all-time in the Summit League record books. She is currently third in career three-point baskets made and attempted, and is just 33 assists away from climbing into the top-20 in the category. Teammate Anne Boese is currently 12th in Summit League history in career three-point baskets made, and 13th in three-point field goals attempted.

GREAT NEW YEAR
In the month of January, IPFW had a 6-1 record, the second-best January record in program history. The 1990-91 team went 8-1 in the year's first month, while the 1991-92 and 1993-94 teams each went 7-2, and 1995-96 6-2.

ON A STREAK
Since falling to Oral Roberts on December 29, the IPFW Mastodons has rattled off 10 victories in its last 12 games, including a program Division I-long six-game win streak from December 31 until January 24. The previous program win streak mark was held by the 2005-06 squad, under the direction of interim coach Chris Paul, which won its last three games of the season, before winning the opening pair of games in the 2006-07 season to win five in a row, now the second longest win streak in the school's Division I era. The streak is the overall longest since the 2000-01 team won seven in a row from December 2 until a January 6 loss to Bellarmine. The longest win streak in program history is when the 1995-96 squad opened the season with 14 consecutive wins.

UP, UP, AND AWAY
With the team's victory over North Dakota State on February 19, IPFW won its 18th game of the season, the most in program history since joining NCAA Division I in 2001-02. IPFW head coach Chris Paul has helped lead IPFW to win totals that either equalled, or surpassed, the previous season in five of the six seasons he has been at the helm of the program. The team went from five wins the year before he became coach to six in a brief stint as interim head coach in the second half of 2005-06. In 2006-07 the team won 12 games, which was the total again in 2007-08. 2008-09 saw a momentary lapse in the trend, as the team went 9-21, before seeing a 13-17 record a season ago.

M-MILESTONES COMING IN PAIRS
There are 15 current members of the 1,000-point club (Roman Numeral 'M'), and now on four 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 next duo was Johnna Lewis-Carlisle and Ashley Johnson. Lewis-Carlisle was a junior, while Johnson was a senior. The feat happened again this season by way of seniors Jordan Zuppe and Chelsey Jackson. Zuppe reached 1,000 points on December 19 against Hampton, while Jackson did it on February 5 at Western Illinois.

LAST TIME OUT
IPFW used a balanced offense, with four players reaching double figures in the scoring column, and a smoldering defense, holding North Dakota State to just 46 points, the second fewest allowed in a game this season by the Mastodons, to win 79-46 in front of 833 fans on the program's fourth annual Pink Out game.
    The win improves IPFW's record to 18-7 on the season, the most wins in a year for IPFW since the team won 19 in the 2000-01 season, the program's last season as a member of NCAA Division II. The dozen conference wins are the most for IPFW since joining the Summit League in the 2007-08 season.
    Stephanie Rosado scored a game-high 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting from the field, while grabbing eight rebounds, narrowly missing on the double-double. Jordan Zuppe scored 16 points while dishing out seven assists and pulling down six rebounds.
    Anne Boese and Sydney Weinert each scored 14 points, Boese's coming primarily on 4-of-9 shooting from long range, while Weinert pulled down 10 rebounds for her second double-double of the year.
    Erin Murphy narrowly missed double-figures with eight points, while Amanda Hyde dished out five assists, second highest total on the squad.
    The Mastodons out-rebounded North Dakota State 42-21, and dished out 20 assists, against just nine assists, the largest positive assist-to-turnover mark of the season for the 'Dons.

BOMBS AWAY
When IPFW faced off against Oral Roberts, few predicted the explosion from long range that would ensue. The Mastodons attempted 44 shots from long range, a mark that tops the previous Summit League single-game total, set by Troy in the 1995-96 season and by Oral Roberts last year. The team's 17 makes puts the Mastodons into a tie for third all-time, behind only a pair of 18-make games by the Golden Eagles a season ago. IPFW junior Anne Boese was one of the primary catalysts for the offensive explosion, making 7-of-17 shots from long range. The seven makes puts her in a tie for fifth on the Summit League single-game totals in league games, while the 17 attempts are tied for the second most in league history, and tied for the highest total in a conference game. As per the IPFW record book, the 44 attempts are tied for the third highest total, and the 17 makes are the second most. Boese's seven makes ranks in a tie for fourth, while the 17 attempts ties the school record.

STOP, THIEF!
Against South Dakota State on January 22, IPFW sophomore Kayla Drake became the first player in program history to have a points-steals double-double, as she broke the school single-game record, previously held by Lindy Jones, the younger sister of current IPFW assistant coach Kip Jones. The 10 steals are tied for the most in NCAA Division I this season, and is tied for the fourth highest single-game total in a Summit League game in the history of the league.

COACH CHRIS PAUL
With the team's victory at South Dakota State on January 22, 2011, IPFW head coach Chris Paul became the all-time program wins leader with the Mastodons. His current record of 70-94 gives him more career wins than the previous two coaches (Bruce Patterson, 27; and Karl Smesko, 32) combined.

Chris Paul	70-94 (6)	.427

THREE-POINT STREAK
The IPFW Mastodons have made a three-point basket in each of its last 370 games, a stretch that ranks as the sixth longest active streak in NCAA Division I. Iowa State's streak is at the top of the list by making a three-point basket in 510 games. Sam Houston State, Connecticut, Loyola, and Southeast Missouri State all fall in line ahead of IPFW. The previous NCAA record was 408 games, held by Cleveland State. This season two teams have seen its three-point streak snapped, the first was when Tennessee saw its 422 consecutive game streak snapped on January 2 against LSU, going 0-7 from long range, before Canisius was shut out from long range, going 0-for-12 against Iona, snapping a 510 game streak, which was at the time, the longest active streak in NCAA history.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK VERSION 2.0
IPFW sophomore Kayla Drake was named the Summit League Player of the Week on January 25, after recording 16 steals and 38 points in games against South Dakota State and North Dakota State, helping the Mastodons to its first wins in Fargo and Brookings since joining the Summit League. She is the second player this season to have earned a Player of the Week honor, the first time since IPFW joined the league in 2007-08 that the 'Dons have had two players earn the honor in a single season.

FINDING HER TARGET
Two days after her 7-for-17 eruption against Oral Roberts, Anne Boese took just long range shots against Centenary, however, by making six of those, she etched her name in the school's record book for the second highest percentage in program history.

IPFW VS. THE SUMMIT LEAGUE
In Summit League regular season action, IPFW is eight games above .500 at 39-29 all-time in league play, and the 'Dons are 40-38 under the direction of head coach Chris Paul against teams currently in the Summit League.

ITS ALL BINARY
For those familiar with computer programing, binary numbers are the language of 1's and 0's that computers speak; however, there was nothing robotic about IPFW senior Jordan Zuppe on Sunday against Hampton. The senior scored a season-high 17 points and pulled down a career-high-tying eight rebounds. What was unique was the series of 1's and 0's that accompany the evening. Zuppe scored her 1,000th point in the game, which was also her 100th in a Mastodon uniform. Add to it that it was the 10th game of the season, in IPFW's 10th season as a Division 1 member, and finally the fact that Zuppe ended the game with 1,010 career points, you have enough to keep a computer talking for months.

DOUBLE-DOUBLES
With her double-double against Western Illinois on February 5, IPFW junior Stephanie Rosado has moved into a tie for fifth place in the school's record books with 12 career double-doubles. Lisa Miller has the school record with 31, with Verea Bibbs in second with 20. Below is a listing of the top-10 double-double leaders in school history.

Rank	Student-Athlete	2B-2B	Seasons
1	Lisa Miller	31	1988-92
2	Verea Bibbs	20	2001-05

COLD WIN
On December 6, the IPFW Mastodons made just 17-of-61 shots from the field, a percentage of .279. What was unique about that game was that the Mastodons prevailed 60-58 over the Kangaroos of UMKC. The .279 shooting percentage is the lowest in school history in a game in which IPFW was victorious. Below are the five lowest shooting percentage wins in school history. Of the top-15 lowest shooting percentage wins, 12 came at either the Memorial Coliseum or the Gates Sports Center

Pct.	Opponent	Date	Field Goals
.279	UMKC	12/6/2010	17-of-61
.299	vs. Saginaw Valley State	11/19/1999	23-of-77
.300	Western Illinois	1/26/2009	18-of-60
.304	Lewis	12/23/1985	24-of-79
.311	vs. Savannah State	3/5/2005	19-of-61

BACK-TO-BACK DOUBLE-DOUBLES
Stephanie Rosado did something that hasn't been done since the 1999-00 season - pick up three straight double-doubles. It was the first time since Trish Fleming had three straight against St. Joseph's, Indianapolis, and Northern Kentucky. The school record for consecutive double-doubles is four, set by Sarah Turner in 1987-88, Tarri Lydy in 1985-86, and Rhonda Unverferth in 1983-84.

BIG DEBUTS
When Kayla Drake and Amanda Hyde reached double-figure scoring in their IPFW debuts, they join three other IPFW players on the current roster to have scored in double figures in their first game in a Mastodon uniform. Jordan Zuppe scored 18 against Toledo on November 11, 2007, while a year later, Anne Boese scored 17 in the season opener against Illinois. 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.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK
IPFW junior Stephanie Rosado was named the Summit League Player of the Week on November 23 after scoring 22 points and pulling down 12 rebounds against Youngstown State on November 20. It was the second time that Rosado has been named a Summit League Player of the Week (she earned the award February 9 last season), and just the fourth time overall that a Mastodon has been named a Player of the Week, joining Johnna Lewis Carlisle (January 29) and Jordan Zuppe (March 4) who both were named to the award in 2007-08.

PRESEASON EXPECTATIONS
The Mastodons were picked to finish fourth in the Summit League by the league's coaches, media, and sports information directors. The fourth place pick was the highest in any of the four seasons that the 'Dons have been in the league. Also picking up preseason honors were juniors Stephanie Rosado and Anne Boese, Rosado to the Preseason First Team, and Boese to the Second Team.

BLOCK PARTY
On the same day that Stephanie Rosado was named the Summit League Player of the Week, the junior erupted for a near triple-double, including a school-record eight blocked shots, six of those coming in the first half. With Sydney Weinert's 11 blocks added in, it was the first time IPFW has had at least 10 blocked shots in a game since December 2, 2005 against Kalamazoo, when the squad also had 11.

MASTODONS ADD ANOTHER
Former Pendleton Heights High School standout Mur Hagerman has enrolled at IPFW and will be eligible to compete in January of 2012.
    Hagerman, a 5-10 guard, was on the Wright State roster for the first semester of the 2010-11 season before leaving the Dayton campus for Fort Wayne. She was a McDonald's All-American nomiee, named to the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association All-State Senior First Team in 2009-10, and to the All-State Underclass Girls team after her junior campaign.
    She was a four-year member of the Hoosier Heritage All-Conference team, was selected to the Class 4A All-State team, and was one of the top 60 Seniors by Hoosier Basketball Magazine. She was a four-time All-Madison County honoree, and averaged 12.5 points and five rebounds per game during her senior year. As a senior her team finished 20-3 and advanced to the regional championship. A year prior she averaged 13.4 points per game, helping the team to a 23-3 mark and a semi-state appearance.
    Hagerman played with current IPFW freshman Erin Murphy in the Hoosiers Reunion All-Star Classic, and played on the south squad in the North-South All-Star Classic. Named the Johnny Wilson Award winner in 2010, signifying the top three-sport athlete in the area, as she was also a stellar cross country and track & field athlete, lettering four years in all three sports.

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.
