ATLANTA - Taeya Steinauer scored a career-best 16 points on Wednesday (Nov. 27), but the Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball team lost to Campbell 71-67 in overtime.
While the game went overtime, Steinauer scored all of her 16 in the first three quarters, with 11 coming in the third. She finished 6-of-9 from the floor and 4-of-6 from 3-point range.
Audra Emmerson and Lauren Ross joined Steinauer in double-figures with 15 and 14 each. The Mastodons were moving the ball relatively well, with six different Mastodons dishing out at least two assists.
After wrapping up the first 40 minutes knotted at 56, Campbell jumped out to a 61-56 edge in the opening minute of overtime. Ross scored the next six points for the 'Dons, then Emmerson hit a 3-pointer from the corner to make it a one-point game again with 29 seconds left. From there, Campbell's free throws were enough to fend off the late Mastodon push.
The Mastodons were at their best offensively in the third quarter, going 10-for-13 from the floor (76.9 percent) and 7-of-9 from 3-point range (77.8 percent). This was also when they built up a 15-point lead, the most of either team.
Purdue Fort Wayne held Campbell to just 16 points in the first half, which matched the fewest by a Division I foe since 2019. The 'Dons held Robert Morris to that mark last season. The Camels had just one made bucket in the second quarter.
The Mastodons led for nearly 25 minutes, but Campbell had a 23-9 advantage from the free throw line.
Purdue Fort Wayne falls to 3-4 while Campbell improves to 5-2. The Mastodons will face off against Furman on Thanksgiving Day at approximately 2:30 p.m.
