FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball recorded the program's highest point total in a 124-41 victory over Great Lakes Christian on Saturday (Nov. 11) in the Gates Sports Center.
The 124 points and the 83-point margin of victory are both program-bests for the Mastodons. They accomplished this on a program-best 49 made field goals.
The Mastodons moved the ball well and totaled 27 assists against the Crusaders while only committing eight turnovers. The 'Dons' 27 assists are tied for fourth-most in school history and the most in a game since 2021 when they had 27 against Manchester. Purdue Fort Wayne pulled down 56 rebounds which is the second-most in the DI era and tied for seventh-most all-time.
Destinee Marshall, Audra Emmerson, and Sydney Graber each scored five points in the first quarter to help the 'Dons out to a 26-12 lead. The second quarter was one long run for Purdue Fort Wayne as they outscored Great Lakes Christian 39-6 in the second 10 minutes. Renna Schwieterman led the way with 11 of her team-high 28 points.
The Mastodons had 17 rebounds in the third quarter as Schwieterman added eight points and Ryin Ott scored seven. Less than two minutes into the fourth quarter, Shayla Sellers hit a three to get the 'Dons into triple digits.
Six Mastodons scored in double-figures: Schwieterman (28), Erin Woodson (17), Amellia Bromenschenkel (16), Jazzlyn Linbo (12), Graber (11) and Lauryn Stover (10). Saturday was the first time since 2017 that six Mastodons scored in double-figures.
Linbo posted a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Schwieterman was the first freshman to score 25 or more points since 2016.
Purdue Fort Wayne moves to 1-1. Great Lakes Christian falls to 2-4. The Mastodons will return to the court on Wednesday, November 15 when they travel to Southern Illinois for a 7 p.m. tip.
