Game Notes: Purdue Fort Wayne | North Dakota
Know Your Foe
North Dakota is 10-4, 1-0 Summit League. The Fighting Hawks' League win came by way of a 90-82 road win at Denver. UND has only one scorer in double figures with Julia Fleecs at 10.6, but there are seven that score more than 6.5 points per game. This balanced attack has led the way for the Hawks to win three of their last four, including the road win at Denver.
The Series
North Dakota has won all three meetings in the series history, two of which have come in Summit League play since the Fighting Hawks joined the League. The first meeting came in 1996 in Grand Forks.
10 Under 50
The Mastodons have held 10 out of their 12 opponents to under 50 percent from the floor. The 'Dons held UIC to the lowest output of an opponent this season at 32.7 percent.
South Dakota's Low Output
RV/No. 22 South Dakota only scored 62 points against Purdue Fort Wayne on New Year's Day, which was the second-fewest points the Coyotes have scored in a game this season. They only scored less in their 73-60 loss to No. 5 South Carolina on December 22.
No 3's for You!
Purdue Fort Wayne has the second-best 3-point percentage defense in the Summit League. The Mastodons are allowing opponents to shoot just 30.1 percent from behind the arc. The 'Dons have had three games when their opponents shot under 20 percent: Purdue Northwest (18.8), South Dakota (16.7) and Eastern Michigan (15.4).
She Went OFF!
Hannah Albrecht had a career-high 30 points in the Mastodons' win over Evansville on December 13. She went 9 for 17 from the floor, 5 of 8 from deep, and 7 of 8 from the free throw line. The bucket-getter scored 19 in the second half, including the go-ahead basket, and seven of the 14-0 Mastodon run to close the gap with the Purple Aces.
Steals, Steals, Steals
The Mastodons are second in the Summit League in steals per game this season, nabbing 8.6 per contest. The 'Dons have had double-digit steals in five games, including a season-high 14 at SIUE.
Nine is Just Fine
Purdue Fort Wayne played nine players against South Dakota, which is just the second time that nine Mastodons have taken the floor in a game this season. The other was at Eastern Michigan.
That's a Lot of Minutes!
Anna Lappenküper is ninth in the country and second in the Summit League in minutes played this season with 509:12. She is first in the League in minutes played per game at 36:37.
More Minutes Stuff...
Anna Lappenküper ranks 11th in program history in career minutes played. She has been on the court for 3,055 minutes in her four years in Fort Wayne. Her 36.5 minutes per outing this year is third in program history for a single season.
We'll Take That Basketball, Thanks!
Purdue Fort Wayne is fourth in the Summit League in turnovers forced per game, making opponents cough up the ball 17.0 times per contest.
Albrecht... Bucket-Getter
Hannah Albrecht is leading the team in scoring this season at 14.4 points per game. The senior had a career-high 30 points against Evansville on December 13, passing the two previous previous career-highs from earlier this season. She had 22 points against Heidelberg on November 24, surpassing her previous high of 21 from 13 days earlier. She set that mark against Ball State.
Last Time Out
Purdue Fort Wayne fell to nationally-ranked South Dakota 62-41. The 62 points that South Dakota scored was the second-least this season. Riley Ott led the team in scoring with 11.
Coming Up
The Mastodons will stay on the road to play a contest at Western Illinois on Thursday (Jan. 9). WIU leads the series 15-10, and has won the last 10.
