Game Notes: Purdue Fort Wayne | Defiance
Know Your Foe
Defiance is 0-2 to start 2024-25 and has lost its last 27 games. The Yellow Jackets lost to Siena Heights and Bethel to start this season. Defiance is averaging 48.5 points per game on 36.5 percent shooting. The squad shoots 31.8 percent from the 3-point line. Makaiya Thomas is leading the team with 10.5 points per game.
The Series
The series is split 1-1 against Defiance, but the two teams have only met once since 1979. The Mastodons topped the Yellow Jackets 76-58 in their last meeting in Fort Wayne, led by 14 points from Lindley Kistler off the bench.
Time To Defend The Fort
Purdue Fort Wayne will play its game against Defiance as a part of its annual Defend the Fort series. It will be a doubleheader contest as the men's program hosts Bethune-Cookman. It will be a single ticket for admission to both games.
The Bromo Code
Amellia Bromenschenkel recorded a stat line of 14 points, five rebounds, five assists, five steals and three blocks. She is the first player in the NCAA to record that stat line on the road since 2018 (Chelsea Welch, Wright State at IU Indy) and the 10th of all Division I players to do so since the 2002-03 season. She is one of 52 players to record those marks in any game, home or away, since 2002-03.
Free For T-Mo
Tia Morgan is 7-for-7 from the charity stripe this season. She is the only player in the Horizon League to go perfect from the line so far this season.
Grand Duo
Sydney Freeman and Amellia Bromenschenkel both own over 1,000 points in their careers. Freeman reached the milestone in 2022-23 in her one year at Dayton, while Bromenschenkel scored all 1,000 at Purdue Fort Wayne. She joined the 1,000-point club in the Mastodons' win at IU Indianapolis in 2023-24.
Closing In on 1,000
Lauren Ross has 991 points in her career, needing just nine to eclipse the 1,000-point mark for her career. In her final two seasons at Western Michigan, she scored 873 of her 991 points.
Closing In on 1,000 x2
Audra Emmerson also has a chance to reach 1,000 points for her career. She has 706 points, needing 294 to reach the milestone. She scored 343 last season.
Last Time Out
Purdue Fort Wayne topped Valparaiso 72-56 on the road. Amellia Bromenschenkel had a stat line of 14 points, five rebounds, five assists, five steals and three blocks. Only 10 student-athletes in all of Division I have recorded that line on the road since 2002.
Coming Up
The Mastodons will hit the road for a game at No. 20 Kentucky on Monday (Nov. 18). It will be their first game against a top-25 team since November of last season when they played No. 5 Iowa.
