Game Notes: Purdue Fort Wayne | South Dakota State
Know Your Foe
South Dakota State is 18-8, 10-2 Summit League on the year, but is coming off a 72-62 loss to Denver. The Jackrabbits are second in the Summit League behind nationally-ranked South Dakota. Paiton Burckhard is leading the team with 14.4 points and 6.2 rebounds per game.
The Series
South Dakota State has dominated the all-time series against the Mastodons, leading 35-1 since the first game in 2005. The only win for the 'Dons came in 2011, when they beat the Jackrabbits on their home floor in overtime. SDSU beat the 'Dons 100-69 in Fort Wayne earlier this year.
Seeing Pink
Saturday's game at South Dakota State will be their Pink Game, supporting breast cancer research. Next Saturday's game at home against Omaha will be Purdue Fort Wayne's Pink Out game as well. Proceeds for that game will go to support the Vera Bradley Foundation.
Division I Era Leader
Purdue Fort Wayne freshman Riley Ott's 11.5 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 35th 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 2.60 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 973 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 25 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 45th in the country in free throw percentage, cashing in on 74.8 percent of its trips to the charity stripe. The Mastodons are fourth 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 15th in the country and first in the Summit League in minutes played this season with 906:37. She is also first in the League in minutes played per game at 36.26. Hannah Albrecht is second in the League in that category at 36.07 minutes per game.
More Minutes Stuff...
Anna Lappenküper ranks fourth in program history in career minutes played. She has been on the court for 3,451 minutes in her four years in Fort Wayne. Her 36.3 minutes per outing this year is third in program history for a single season.
Last Time Out
Purdue Fort Wayne fell at North Dakota State on Thursday (Feb. 13) 74-53. Jazzy Hughes and Hannah Hess both had 10 points.
Coming Up
Purdue Fort Wayne will return home to play Omaha on Saturday, February 22. This game will serve as the 13th annual Pink Out ceremony to support breast cancer research. It will also be senior day for Anna Lappenküper, Hannah Albrecht and Sh'Toya Sanders.
