Jazzlyn Linbo Notches Impressive Double-Double at IUPUI
2/9/2023 8:50:00 PM | Women's Basketball
INDIANAPOLIS - Jazzlyn Linbo recorded the first double-double of her career on Thursday night (Feb. 9) in Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball's 91-70 loss at IUPUI.
Linbo's 19 points and 14 rebounds were both career-high marks. She was a force early, blocking the Jaguars twice in the first two possessions. The 'Dons went to her early and often on the offensive end as well. She had nine points on 4-of-6 shooting in the first 20 minutes. She ended the game shooting 8-of-11 from the floor before fouling out with 4:36 remaining.
Linbo's 14 rebounds marks the 11th-most in a single game in the Mastodons' Division I era (2001-present).
The difference in the game came in the opening 20 minutes when Purdue Fort Wayne was 1-for-15 from beyond the 3-point line while IUPUI was 57.6 percent from the floor. This allowed IUPUI to build a 24-point lead by the halftime break.
In the third quarter, the Mastodons had a stretch where they made 7-of-8 from the floor, but this only cut the IUPUI lead to 19.
The Mastodons were 12-of-13 from the free throw line. Shayla Sellers and Sylare Starks scored 17 and 15 points, respectively, to join Linbo in double-figures.
IUPUI had five players in double-figures, led by 16 points from Destiny Perkins.
Purdue Fort Wayne falls to 10-15, 7-8 in Horizon League play. IUPUI moves to 14-10, 10-5. The Mastodons will return home for a game on Monday (Feb. 13) against Cleveland State. The Vikings are just outside the AP Top 25, as one of the teams receiving votes in the poll.
