The Series
North Dakota State has a 20-10 lead in the all-time series, and took the first of two matchups against the Mastodons 58-44 in the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum on January 30. The last win in Fargo for the Mastodons came in 2014, when they won 98-89.
Division I Era Leader
Purdue Fort Wayne freshman Riley Ott's 11.9 points per game is the most by a freshman in the Division I era of Mastodon women's basketball.
Double Times Three
Sh'Toya Sanders had three consecutive double-doubles against North Dakota, Western Illinois and Denver. She was the first Mastodon to have three in a row since Stephanie Rosado in 2010.
Make it a Double
Sh'Toya Sanders had two consecutive double-doubles with more than 15 rebounds against North Dakota and Western Illinois. She is the first player to have multiple 15-rebound double-doubles since Verea Bibbs in the 2002-03 season.
Party Block Anthem
Sh'Toya Sanders is 33rd in the country and first in the Summit League in blocked shots per game at 2.10. She is the League leader in blocks per game in conference play only at 2.40 per game. The next closest is at 1.7 per game. She has recorded at least two blocks in six games in Summit League play, including a season-high five against Oral Roberts.
Bound to Rebound
Sh'Toya Sanders notched a career-high 18 rebounds in Purdue Fort Wayne's game against Western Illinois on February 4. This surpassed her previous high of 17 that she set three days earlier. This was her third career-high of the season, as she had 15 against Southeast Missouri. She is averaging 9.3 boards per game, which ranks fifth in program history for a season average.
Nearing 1,000
Senior Hannah Albrecht is nearing 1,000 points for her career, as she currently has 969 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.
19 Under 50
The Mastodons have held 19 out of their 24 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.
Free Throws Are Free
Purdue Fort Wayne is 49th in the country in free throw percentage, cashing in on 74.5 percent of its trips to the charity stripe. The Mastodons are fifth in the Summit League in that category, but only 2.3 percent behind Denver who leads the League.
That's a Lot of Minutes!
Anna Lappenküper is eighth in the country and first in the Summit League in minutes played this season with 878:55. She is also first in the League in minutes played per game at 36.62. Hannah Albrecht is second in the League in that category at 35.99 minutes per game.
More Minutes Stuff...
Anna Lappenküper ranks fourth in program history in career minutes played. She has been on the court for 3,423 minutes in her four years in Fort Wayne. Her 36.6 minutes per outing this year is third in program history for a single season.
