FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Lauren Ross of the Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball team scored the 1,000th point of her career on Tuesday (Nov. 12), helping the Mastodons top Defiance 104-31 at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum.
Defiance's 31 points were the fewest a team has scored against the Mastodons since 2010. The Mastodons allowed just 28 against Centenary in a Summit League contest that season.

Three Mastodons joined Ross in double-figures: Audra Emmerson (11), Amellia Bromenschenkel (10) and Tia Morgan (10). Emmerson finished with 11 points, seven rebounds and four assists.
The Mastodons jumped out to a 23-9 lead in the first quarter, never trailing in the game. The Mastodons held the Yellow Jackets to just 10 points in the second half. Defiance shot 4-of-22 (18.2 percent) from the floor and 0-for-7 from beyond the arc.
The Mastodons finished the game 43-of-73 (58.9 percent) and 8-of-19 (42.1 percent) from 3-point range. Defiance was 10-of-45 (22.2 percent) and 2-of-14 (14.3 percent) from deep.
Purdue Fort Wayne forced Defiance into 30 turnovers. Thirteen Mastodons played at least six minutes in the game and all scored at least two points.
With the victory, Purdue Fort Wayne moves to 2-1. Defiance stays 0-2 as it was played as an exhibition for the Yellow Jackets. Purdue Fort Wayne is back in action on Monday (Nov. 18) at No. 20 Kentucky.
