MILWAUKEE - The Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball team dropped a Horizon League game at Milwaukee 64-34 on Thursday night (Feb. 23).
With the loss, the Mastodons have guaranteed a home game for the Barbasol Horizon League Championship on Tuesday (Feb. 28). The start time is to be determined, based on the possibility of a doubleheader with the Mastodon men's basketball team.
The Panthers used a 21-2 first quarter to take the advantage that held until the final buzzer.
Milwaukee out-shot the Mastodons 46.2 percent to 24.1 percent. The 'Dons did hold Milwaukee to 25 percent from beyond the 3-point line.
The Mastodons were even with the Panthers in the fourth quarter behind a 53.8 percent shooting quarter.
Shayla Sellers had team-high marks with eight points, eight rebounds, three steals, two assists and a block. Audra Emmerson added eight points as well.
Purdue Fort Wayne falls to 12-17, 9-10 in Horizon League play. Milwaukee improves to 10-17, 8-11. The Mastodons head to Green Bay on Saturday for a game against the Phoenix, who are chasing a regular season championship.
