PUMP THE CLUTCH
Purdue Fort Wayne beat Omaha on Sunday, January 26 by storming back in the final minute. The 'Dons trailed by four, but scored 10 points in the final 60 seconds to defeat the Mavericks on their home floor. Hannah Hess banked in a 3-pointer with 11 seconds left, and Hannah Albrecht drained the game-winning free throws with 0.8 remaining on the clock.
NEARING 1,000
Senior Hannah Albrecht is nearing 1,000 points for her career, as she currently has 936 points in her four-year career. After spending one season at Division II Saint Joseph's College, the college closed in 2017, so Albrecht transferred to Purdue Fort Wayne to play the final three years of her career.
