Game Notes: Purdue Fort Wayne | Oral Roberts
Know Your Foe
Oral Roberts is 13-15, 8-7 Summit League, and will be playing for seeding the postseason tournament this weekend. The Golden Eagles have qualified and sit tied with Denver at 8-7, fighting for the No. 4 seed in the tournament. They could also move into a tie with Western Illinois for a chance at the No. 3 seed.
The Series
Oral Roberts leads the all-time series 17-5, and has taken the last seven games. The Golden Eagles managed to come back from a 16-1 deficit in their most recent game against Purdue Fort Wayne, which came in January of this year. ORU took the win in the Summit City 79-73.
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.
1,000 Point Club
Senior Hannah Albrecht became a 1,000-point scorer on Thursday (Feb. 27), as she scored 15 points against Denver. 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. She has 732 points in her three seasons at Purdue Fort Wayne.
Division I Era Leader
Purdue Fort Wayne freshman Riley Ott's 11.1 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 29th 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.
19 Under 50
The Mastodons have held 19 of their opponents 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 62nd in the country in free throw percentage, cashing in on 73.8 percent of its trips to the charity stripe. The Mastodons are fourth in the Summit League in that category, but only 3.1 percent behind Denver who leads the League.
That's a Lot of Minutes!
Anna Lappenküper is first in the Summit League in minutes played this season with 1006:48. She is also second in the League in minutes played per game at 35.96. Hannah Albrecht is first in the League in that category at 36.20 minutes per game.
More Minutes Stuff...
Anna Lappenküper ranks third in program history in career minutes played. She has been on the court for 3,551 minutes in her four years in Fort Wayne. Her 36.0 minutes per outing this year is third in program history for a single season. Lappenküper is also second in program history in games started at 108.
Last Time Out
Purdue Fort Wayne dropped its home finale to Denver 85-67 on Thursday, February 27. Hannah Albrecht eclipsed the 1,000-point scoring threshold, dropping 15 against the Pioneers.
Coming Up
The Mastodons still have a chance to qualify for the Summit League tournament, but it is dependent on a win at Oral Roberts and Omaha needs to lose at North Dakota State.
