Women’s Hoops Continues to Roll at Home With Win Over NKU
2/18/2023 7:27:00 PM | Women's Basketball
FORT WAYNE, Ind. - A pair of underclassmen stole the show on Senior Day for the Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball team on Saturday (Feb. 18) in the Mastodons' 65-59 win over Northern Kentucky.
Sophomore Audra Emmerson finished with a career-high 19 points while adding four rebounds and an assist on the most important basket of the game. She was 7-of-11 from the floor and 5-of-8 from three. Junior Amellia Bromenschenkel filled the box score with 14 points, six rebounds, five steals, a block and an assist while shooting 60 percent from the floor.
The Norse led for the majority of the first half but the 'Dons finished the first on a 5-0 run. Bromenschenkel closed the half with a steal and a layup just before the second quarter buzzer. The Norse had the first basket of the second half to go up 31-30, but that would be their final lead of the game. Emmerson scored eight of her points in the third quarter as the 'Dons controlled the quarter.
The 'Dons went up by as many as 12 in the fourth quarter, but the Norse made it a two-point game with under a minute remaining. No worries for the 'Dons, though. Jazzlyn Linbo finished at the hoop, assisted by Emerson, to put the 'Dons back up two possessions at 63-59 with 46 seconds left.
Northern Kentucky's Lindsey Duvall had 21 points and eight rebounds, but committed four turnovers.
Prior to the game Shayla Sellers, Riley Ott, Sylare Starks and Kendal Muxlow were honored prior to the game for Senior Day.
The win moves the Mastodons even with the Norse in league play at 9-9 and a tie for the fifth spot in the standings. The 'Dons are 12-16 overall and the Norse are now 15-12.
The 'Dons will fall no lower than eighth in the Barbasol Horizon League Women's Basketball Championship meaning a home game for the 'Dons on Feb. 28 unless the 'Dons rise to No. 5 or higher in the standings, then they would earn a bye in the opening around and play the No. 4 seed in the quarterfinals on March 2.
Purdue Fort Wayne finishes the regular season with a trip to Wisconsin to face Milwaukee and Green Bay next week (Feb. 23 and Feb. 25).
