INDIANAPOLIS - In her final game in a Mastodon uniform, Samantha Castaneda set one more record at Purdue Fort Wayne, as she became the program's all-time leader in saves. Her record of 303 broke the previous record of 2024 Hall of Fame inductee Shannon Lynn, who recorded 294 in her time as a 'Don. Castaneda broke the record with just one save in her first year at Purdue Fort Wayne. After her illustrious career, the 2022 Horizon League Goalkeeper of the Year now holds the Mastodon saves (303), shutouts (17) and goals against average (1.13) records.

Offensive juggernaut Morgan Reitano also saw her career come to a close. She leaves the Mastodons with 15 goals and nine assists in her career, both top-10 marks in program history. Her 39 points is the fifth-most in the record book.

Wednesday's match was also the final game of Kelsey Gallagher, Mackenzie Evans and Isabelle Wissel, who all have exhausted their eligibility.

The 2023 Purdue Fort Wayne women's soccer season came to an end on Wednesday night (Oct. 25) with a 2-0 loss at IUPUI.

The Jaguars scored a goal quickly in each half to get the win. Sam Slimak scored in minute seven off an assist from Emma Antoine to take a 1-0 lead into the break. In minute 52, Caroline Kelley found the net off an assist from Emily Tobin.

The Mastodons had seven shots, with five of them finding the frame. Evans had two on-target strikes.

Purdue Fort Wayne's season comes to a close at 5-7-6 and 2-4-4 in the Horizon League. IUPUI improves to 11-3-4 and 5-1-4 in the HL to earn the No. 2 seed for the upcoming league championship.
