FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball team fell in Horizon League action to the red-hot Green Bay Phoenix on Thursday (Jan. 12) night. The Phoenix won their 10th-straight game following a 60-32 victory over the host Mastodons.
Making her first start of the season on Thursday, senior Sylare Starks led Purdue Fort Wayne with 16 points. Starks scored all 13 of Purdue Fort Wayne's points in the opening half behind a 5-of-10 shooting effort from the floor. She also knocked in 3-of-6 triples in the game's first 20 minutes of action. Shayla Sellers added five points, four rebounds, four assists, and three steals.
While Starks scored all 13 to start the game, it was a 13-0 start for Green Bay that put the Mastodons' backs against the wall. The Phoenix built the lead up to as large as 29.
The Mastodons were even with the Phoenix in the fourth quarter at 11 thanks to five points from Sellers and three from each of Jazzlyn Linbo and Audra Emmerson.
Sydney Levy (12), Bailey Butler (11) and Maddy Schreiber (10) all scored in double figures to lead a balanced Phoenix scoring attack. The 'Dons held the Phoenix to just 60 points, well below their season average of 69 coming into the contest.
