SUMMIT LEAGUE TOURNAMENT SCENARIOS
With the Summit League Tournament a week away, below are the scenarios for each of the four seeds of the tournament. Currently IPFW holds the tiebreaker over Oakland, South Dakota State, and North Dakota State.
ORAL ROBERTS - Clinched the first seed
IPFW - With one win, or one Oakland loss, will clinch the second seed, and can fall no further than the third seed if Oakland sweeps and IPFW gets swept.
OAKLAND- With a weekend sweep, will earn no worse than the third seed and possibly the second; with one loss and a SDSU win, will drop to the fourth seed; if they get swept, and Southern Utah sweeps the weekend, Oakland will fall to the fifth seed.
SOUTH DAKOTA STATE - A win will guarantee a top-four seed. With a win and one Oakland loss, the Jackrabbits will move to the third seed; with a loss, and Oakland losing both, SDSU will claim the third seed; If Oakland wins both, SDSU will claim the fourth seed; If Oakland wins both, SUU sweeps, and NDSU wins, SDSU drops to the fifth seed.
SOUTHERN UTAH - The Thunderbirds have the most potential movement of any team in the tournament, and can finish anywhere from the third seed, down to the seventh. To earn the third seed, SUU will need to sweep the weekend, have Oakland lose both, and SDSU lose to NDSU. If SUU sweeps, Oakland beats UMKC, and SDSU loses, Southern Utah will earn the fourth seed.

REACHING for 20-WINS
The IPFW women's basketball program has three previous 20-win seasons, and in each the team advanced to the NCAA Tournament, all as members of NCAA Division II. In 1989-90 the team put together its first 20-win season, going 22-7 before falling to Oakland in the first round of the NCAA Tournament 87-83. Two seasons later the team also finished 22-7, before dropping its NCAA Tournament game to Washburn 82-67. Four years later the team finished 23-5, the program's best single-season record, before losing to Lake Superior State 79-71 in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.

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.

IPF - ”W”
IPFW's 18-8 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 26 games of the season. The 1995-96 team holds the high-water mark through 26 games, opening the year 22-4 before earning an at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament. Overall, in three of the five years that IPFW has a record of 18-8 or better through 26 games, the team has advanced to the NCAA Tournament.

NEARLY THE BEST IN INDIANA

In the WIU victory, Eilise O'Connor scored a game-high 16 points, while Dayon Hall-Jones scored 10 and Kaycie Boyles eight. Kim Nezianya pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds, as the Kangaroos out-rebounded WIU 47-37. Hall-Jones dished out four assists for the team lead, as the team's four blocks and six assists came from different players.
    The Kangaroos often utilize as many as 13 players per contest, as 11 players average over ten minutes played per game, and 13 players have played in at least 20 games.
    Hall-Jones averages 10.2 points per game, and is the only player on the team to average in double-figures, with O'Connor averaging 9.5 per contest. Nezianya scored 6.5 points per game, while pulling down a team-best 5.7 rebounds per contest. Ashli Hill averages a half dozen points, 4.1 rebounds, and has a team-high 64 blocked shots.
    Hall Jones leads the team in assists with 76, while LeAndrea Thomas has picked up 48 steals to pace the squad.

EARLIER THIS SEASON AGAINST UMKC
IPFW was able to overcome its second consecutive cold-shooting night on Monday evening, scoring seven of the final dozen points of the game to climb to 1-1 in Summit League play with a 60-58 victory over the UMKC Kangaroos.
       IPFW (4-3, 1-1 Summit League) was led by Anne Boese who scored 13 points, while Sydney Weinert had 11 points and a career-high-tying 14 rebounds. Stephanie Rosado finished two rebounds shy of her second consecutive double-double with 10 points and eight rebounds, while adding a pair of blocked shots.
       UMKC (3-6, 0-2 Summit) took an early 6-4 lead in the game before the Mastodons rattled off 16 consecutive points to lead 20-6 halfway through the opening period. IPFW saw its 14-point lead melt down to three on an old-fashioned three-point play late in the opening period before Boese sent the Mastodons to the locker room with a 29-25 lead by making one of two free throws with under a minute left in the period.

SERIES AGAINST UMKC
IPFW and UMKC have faced off seven times all-time, all coming with both teams being members of the Summit League. IPFW won the first two meetings, before UMKC won the opening game of the two-game series in 2009-10. IPFW countered later that year, before the Kangaroos won both games a season ago. IPFW took the opening game this season by a 60-58 score, in the Hilliard Gates Sports Center.

SHARP SHOOTING
IPFW has had its share of sharp shooting lately, hitting over half of its shots in five of the last seven games, and seven times in the last 12 contests, raising the team's shooting percentage from .409 on December 29, to its current standing of .449. 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.

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.

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.

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.

HAPPY 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 13 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.

LAST TIME OUT
The IPFW Mastodons were able to shake off a sluggish opening half, battling with the South Dakota State Jackrabbits, and taking a late lead, before falling in the nailbiter 50-47.
    The loss drops IPFW to 18-8 on the season, and 12-4 in Summit League play, while South Dakota State improves to 15-13 on the season and 11-6 in conference action.
    Stephanie Rosado scored a game-high 23 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the field, while blocking a game-high three shots. Two players, Chelsey Jackson and Anne Boese, each scored six, while three more, Jordan Zuppe, Sydney Weinert, and Amanda Hyde, each scored four.
    Rosado pulled down a team-high six rebounds, while Jackson had six assists and Anne Boese four steals in the narrow loss.
    IPFW made just 16-of-48 shots (33.3 percent) for the game, and just 7-of-28 (25.0 percent) in the opening 20 minutes of play. South Dakota State converted on 37.5 percent (18-of-48) of its shots in the game, including 7-of-19 (36.8 percent) from long range.
    Despite the struggling offense, the Mastodon defense played strong throughout, holding SDSU's top two scorers, Jennie Sunnarborg and Kristin Rotert, who were averaging a combined 27.5 points per game, to just seven total points in the contest.

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.

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.

M-MILESTONES COME 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.

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.

HEAD 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 70-95 gives him more career wins than the previous two coaches (Bruce Patterson, 27; and Karl Smesko, 32) combined.

Coach	Record	Pct.
Chris Paul	70-95 (6)	.424
Teri Rosinski	63-46 (4)	.578
Pam Bowden	58-76 (5)	.433
Eileen Kleinfelter	49-34 (3)	.590

Kathy Kissinger	7-7 (1)	.500
Denise Knuth	3-20 (1)	.130
TOTALS	401-504	.443

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.

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 511 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.

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 nine games above .500 at 39-30 all-time in league play, and the 'Dons are 40-39 under the direction of head coach Chris Paul against teams currently in the Summit League.

DOUBLE-DOUBLE
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
t-3	Robin Scott	13	1987-91

t-8	Sarah Turner	9	1987-89
t-8	Teena Merrell	9	1986-90
10	Trish Fleming	8	1999-01

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.

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

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.
