The Series
Denver leads the all-time series with Purdue Fort Wayne 10-4, and have taken the last two meetings against the Mastodons. This included the first matchup earlier this season on Feburary 8 in Denver.

Leaping In 2020
Purdue Fort Wayne will play at Oral Roberts on Saturday, February 29, which will be just the third time that the Mastodons have played on that date. The 'Dons played at Southern Indiana in 1996 and beat No. 16 Northern Kentucky 80-73 in 1992.
Division I Era Leader
Purdue Fort Wayne freshman Riley Ott's 11 points per game is the most by a freshman in the Division I era of Mastodon women's basketball.
Blocking Everything
Sh'Toya Sanders is first in program history in blocked shots per game at 2.2 per contest. The next closest is Jennie Newhard, who averaged 1.3 per game from 1992-96. In her two seasons with Purdue Fort Wayne, Sanders has 89 blocks, which is the third-most of any Mastodon in their time in Fort Wayne.
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 31st in the country and first in the Summit League in blocked shots per game at 2.14. She is the League leader in blocks per game in conference play only at 2.70 per game. The next closest is at 1.7 per game. She has recorded at least two blocks in seven 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.

Senior Hannah Albrecht is nearing 1,000 points for her career, as she currently has 996 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.
