INDIANAPOLIS - Despite Anna Lappenküper's career-high-tying afternoon, the Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball team fell to Big East foe Butler 85-58 in Hinkle Fieldhouse.
Butler got out to a quick start, going up 14-6, but Lappenküper had a 7-0 run on her own, with four free throws and a 3-pointer in the span of one minute of game clock.
Purdue Fort Wayne finished the final three quarters on runs. The second ended with four straight, with a pair of free throws from Hannah Hess and a buzzer-beating mid-range jumper from Lappenküper. The third was an 8-0 push in the last 1:52, which included a 3-pointer from both Shayla Sellers and Lappenküper, and a second buzzer-beating mid-range jay from the senior guard. The game ended with three to the 'Dons, as Riley Ott dropped in a deuce and Lappenküper drained a free throw.
The Mastodons finished 8 of 11 from the paint (73 percent), including a perfect 5 of 5 in the first half. Lappenküper tied her career-high 22 points on 7 of 15 shooting with 5 of 6 from the charity stripe. Sellers had 14 points, which is her best against a Division I opponent this season.
The 'Dons finished with 31 rebounds, and 15 of them were offensive boards.
Butler's Kristen Spolyar had 27 points on 9 of 17 shooting. Upe Atosu added 18 and Oumou Toure had 14. The Bulldogs improve to 8-3.
The Mastodons move to 4-9, with a chance to right the ship on New Year's Day. As the calendar turns to 2020, Purdue Fort Wayne's men's and women's basketball teams will play host to South Dakota for a doubleheader. USD's women are currently ranked No. 25 in the AP Top 25 Poll.
