CORSARO CONECTION
As Purdue Fort Wayne prepares to host the 2020 Women's Basketball Regional at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum on March 28 and 30, there could be a connection to the Mastodon men's basketball team. Some mock brackets have UCLA in the Fort Wayne region. Should UCLA advance to Fort Wayne then Lindsey Corsaro would play at the Coliseum. Her brother is Mastodon men's assistant coach Paul Corsaro.
