3-Point Barrage Propels Mastodons to 17-Point League Win
1/22/2023 3:03:00 PM | Women's Basketball
DAYTON, Ohio - Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball hit 13 three-pointers against Wright State on Sunday (Jan. 22), leading to a 72-55 road win.
The 'Dons shot a scorching 54.2 percent (13-of-24) from 3-point land, which marked their best 3-point percentage against a Division I foe since North Dakota on January 5, 2020. Their 13 threes was the most in a league game since February 6, 2015.
The triples came from all around; six Mastodons had at least one 3-pointer. Amellia Bromenschenkel, Shayla Sellers and Ryin Ott had three each.
It was not a pretty start for Purdue Fort Wayne. Wright State scored the first 13 points of the contest. From this point on, however, the Mastodons out-scored the Raiders by 30 over the final 35 minutes. This was due to massive second (29-15) and fourth (23-9) quarters.
The Mastodons shot a ridiculous 78.6 percent from the floor and 83.3 percent from 3-point range in the second quarter. It's been just over a year since the 'Dons have shot over 70 percent in a quarter.
Jazzlyn Linbo had back-to-back putbacks midway through the third quarter to force a Raider timeout. This put the 'Dons up 10, the largest of the day to that point.
Wright cut the lead to one just moments into the fourth quarter, but that would be short-lived. The Mastodons used the 3-ball to bury the Raiders in a hurry. Two threes from Bromenschenkel, two free throws from Aubrey Stupp and a triple from Ott put the 'Dons up 12 behind an 11-0 run. Purdue Fort Wayne out-scored the home team 23-9 in the final 10 minutes. The Raiders fouled for the final 91 seconds, allowing the lead to balloon to as many as 17, the margin of the final score.
The Mastodons dominated on the glass, out-rebounding Wright State 37-25. It is their largest rebounding margin since meeting with the Raiders last season on February 5.
Purdue Fort Wayne was good from the free throw line as well, cashing in on 11-of-13 for 84.6 percent.
Sellers and Ott led all scorers with 16 points each. Sellers added five rebounds, five assists and a steal. Ott had four assists, three steals and one board. Bromenschenkel joined them in double-figures with 11. Linbo led the rebounding effort with seven, followed by Stupp with six.
Purdue Fort Wayne improves to 7-13 and 4-6 in the Horizon League through the halfway point of league play. Wright State tumbles to 2-18, 1-9. The Mastodons are set to take on Oakland next on Thursday (Jan. 26) in Rochester, Michigan.
