Game Notes: Purdue Fort Wayne | Oakland | Horizon League
Know Your Foe
Oakland is 3-2 to start the year with two wins over non-Division I schools and two losses to Big Ten foes. The Golden Grizzlies' season highlight came in the opener, in which they beat Akron on the road in double-overtime 91-87. OU is led by Charleston transfer Markyia McCormick and 2023 Horizon League Freshman of the Year Brooke Quarles-Daniels. They are averaging over 11 points per game.
The Series
The Mastodons and Golden Grizzlies have a storied history of 30 matchups dating back to 1985 in the Division II days. OU leads the series 19-11, but the 'Dons snapped an eight-game win streak last season in Rochester.
We Love Threes...
Purdue Fort Wayne has been dangerous from 3-point land this season. The Mastodons are 11th in the country with a 40.5 3-point percentage and ninth in the nation with 10.0 3-point makes per contest. The 'Dons have four players in the top 230 nationally in 3-pointers per game: Audra Emmerson, Amellia Bromenschenkel, Renna Schwieterman and Shayla Sellers. Emmerson ranks in the top-100 in 3-point percentage at 41.2 percent.
... and It's Been a While Since We Haven't
The Mastodons love making threes so much, they haven't had a game without a 3-pointer made since January 1, 2021, a streak of 85 games. This includes every game in the Maria Marchesano era.
Some More on the 3-Ball
The Mastodons have six players shooting at least 40 percent from the 3-point line. Shayla Sellers is 11-of-22 (50 percent), Destinee Marshall is 6-of-12 (50 percent), Lauryn Stover is 1-of-2 (50 percent), Amellia Bromenschenkel is 11-of-23 (47.8 percent), Renna Schwieterman is 11-of-24 (45.8 percent) and Audra Emmerson is 14-for-34 (41.2 percent).
Millie of the Week
Amellia Bromenschenkel was selected as the Horizon League Player of the Week on November 27 after leading the 'Dons to a 2-1 week at the Gulf Coast Showcase. She led the league in scoring at 18.7 points per game, shot 61.1 percent from the floor (22-of-36) and 50 percent from 3-point land (8-of-16). She had a career-high of 27 points on just 14 shots against Delaware.
Career Day for Emmerson

Chasing 1,000
The Mastodons have two players that are looking to reach 1,000 points in their careers. Shayla Sellers has 988 and Amellia Bromenschenkel has 717. With Bromenschenkel's average of 15.0 points per game this season, she is on pace to reach 1,000 career points in 19 games.

Donating to Charity
Purdue Fort Wayne was a perfect 10-of-10 from the charity stripe against No. 5 Iowa (Nov. 24). The Mastodons have had 10 other games in program history where they have made at least 10 free throws without a miss.
Last Time Out
Purdue Fort Wayne is coming off a 3-point showcase in a 90-77 win over Western Kentucky in Estero, Florida. That came on the heels of an 88-74 win over Delaware the day before.
Coming Up
The Mastodons will return home for the first time in nearly a month when they welcome Wright State to the Gates Sports Center on December 3.
