Mastodons Score 95 Points in Important League Win Over Wright State
2/16/2023 10:56:00 PM | Women's Basketball
FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball team used a 32-point fourth quarter to pick up a 95-82 Horizon League victory over Wright State on Thursday (Feb. 16) at the Gates Sports Center.
The Mastodons' 95 points stand as the most they've scored against a Division I team since Feb. 27, 2014 when the 'Dons put up 99 against Western Illinois.
The offensive explosion came from both teams at the start. Wright State opened the game 8-of-9 from three. Purdue Fort Wayne started 5-of-6 from three in the same stretch. The Mastodons led by as many as nine in the first half at 47-38 after consecutive 3-pointers by Audra Emmerson and Amellia Bromenschenkel.
Wright State pushed back and by the 2:20 mark of the third quarter had a 65-57 lead. However, the 'Dons responded in a big way. A 24-2 run followed with six different 'Dons scoring in the push. The final quarter felt reminiscent of the wins over Milwaukee and Youngstown State where the 'Dons followed each opponent miss with an open three or a good look around the hoop. They were 6-of-12 from the floor, 3-of-4 from 3-point range and 9-of-11 in this stretch without a turnover.
Bromenschenkel finished with a game-high 25 points. She was 7-of-12 from the floor and 9-of-10 from the stripe. She didn't have a turnover on the night. In fact, the 'Dons had only five turnovers in the entire game. It is their fewest turnovers in a game against a Division I opponent since February 4, 2016 when they had five at Western Illinois.
Jazzlyn Linbo added 15 points and seven rebounds. Audra Emmerson totaled 14 with five rebounds. Shayla Sellers scored 13 and Sylare Starks totaled 11 points on three 3-pointers.
The 'Dons shot 51.7 percent (30-of-58) from the floor and made 10-of-17 from three. Purdue Fort Wayne withstood a 58.5 percent (31-of-53) shooting performance from the Raiders.
The Mastodons improve to 8-9 in the Horizon League and 11-16 overall. The Raiders fall to 4-13 in league play and 5-22 overall.
The 'Dons are back in action on Saturday (Feb. 18). It will be Senior Day for the 'Dons when Purdue Fort Wayne and Northern Kentucky tip at 3 p.m. at the Gates Sports Center. Purdue Fort Wayne will honor manager Kendal Muxlow and players Riley Ott, Sellers and Starks before the game.
