Game Notes: Purdue Fort Wayne | St. Thomas | Horizon League
Know Your Foe
St. Thomas is 3-4 this season with wins over South Carolina State, Presbyterian and Utah Valley. SC State and Presbyterian are the only two home games the Tommies have played this season. They are coming off a 58-54 overtime loss at Idaho State. Jade Hill is leading the way with 13.0 points per game for St. Thomas.
The Series
Purdue Fort Wayne and St. Thomas have never played before. The Tommies joined the Summit League in the 2021-22 season when they moved Division I, the year after the Mastodons left the Summit League for the Horizon League.
Looking Ahead
When Maryland comes to Fort Wayne on December 21, it will be the first ranked opponent to play in the Gates Sports Center since No. 14 Purdue came to Gates on December 6, 2012. Purdue won that contest 69-54 despite hall of famer Amanda Hyde scoring 26 points.
Free Throw Club
Four Mastodons are perfect from the free throw line this season: Sylare Starks (10-of-10), Aubrey Stupp (6-of-6), Lauryn Stover (4-of-4), Abbigail Stephens (2-of-2).
Some More on Free Throws
Sylare Starks, Aubrey Stupp and Shayla Sellers have been spectacular from the free throw line in their careers as Mastodons. All three would rank in the top-10 in program history for career percentages if they met the minimum made requirements. Starks (.943) would rank first, Stupp (.823) would be fourth, and Sellers (.805) would be sixth. Sellers needs just one more free throw to qualify for the top-10.
Thieves!
Purdue Fort Wayne is leading the Horizon League and is top 50 in the country with 10.9 steals per game.
Especially That One!
Sydney Graber is second in the Horizon League with 16 steals.
You're Gonna Shoot From There?
Purdue Fort Wayne is third in the Horizon League and 44th in the country in 3-point percentage defense, allowing opponents to shoot just 25.4 percent from outside.
Shayla The Starter
