SCOUTING THE JAGUARS

Nelson leads the team, averaging 15.4 points per game, while four others, Katie Comello (9.7 ppg), Markovic (9.6), Clara Mitchell (6.2), and Dawn Luster (5.1) average over five points per game. Despite the 6-10 record, IUPUI has out-scored its opponents this season, and out-score them by an average of 1.6 points per game.
Nelson and Markovic each average a team-best 5.8 rebounds per game, while Comello and Phillips have over 50 assists on the year, Comello leading the pair 60-to-56. Markovic has 28 blocked shots in her 16 games, and Del'Niqua Bellamy has 40 steals.
LAST TIME OUT
Senior Anne Boese scored a game-high 20 points and set the all-time Summit League three-point career mark, as IPFW bounced Western Illinois 73-54 Saturday afternoon at the War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne.
IPFW never trailed in the contest and picked up 15 second chance points to Western Illinois' four. The Mastodons shot 43% (26-60) from the floor in the win.
