HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball picked up its 18th win of the season on Wednesday night (Feb. 21), taking down Northern Kentucky 70-58 on the road.
Amellia Bromenschenkel led all scorers with 17 points. She now has 997 points for her career, poised to eclipse 1,000 this Saturday (Feb. 24) at IUPUI.
The Mastodons are now 11-6 in the Horizon League, tightening their hold on third place in the standings. They have a one win lead on Wright State with an extra game left to play.
Destinee Marshall (14), Jazzlyn Linbo (12) and Shayla Sellers (10) joined Bromenschenkel in double-figures.
The Mastodons beat the Norse despite hitting just four 3-pointers, which is the fewest the 'Dons have hit since they beat NKU a month ago in Fort Wayne. The 'Dons were 0-for-4 from 3-point land in the first quarter, but still managed to lead the Norse 15-14 after the first 10 minutes of play.
Up two at the half, the Mastodons played some of their best basketball of the season over the first 4:48 of the third quarter. They rattled off a 17-5 run, going 7-for-7 from the floor and 2-for-2 from the line while holding NKU to 2-for-6 from the floor and 0-for-2 from three. The 'Dons had two steals and forced three NKU turnovers in the run.
Northern Kentucky clawed back in the third, making it a six point game shortly before the end of the quarter. It became a four-point game in the fourth when Kennedy Igo hit a jumper. Three possessions later, Bromenschenkel hit a pull up 3-pointer from the top of the key that was the eventual dagger.
Bromenschenkel added eight rebounds and Linbo had six. The 'Dons had 12 offensive rebounds and 36 total while holding NKU to 32.
The Mastodons shot 28-of-61 (45.9 percent) from the floor and NKU was 22-of-54 (40.7 percent).
Sellers was matched with reigning Horizon League Player of the Week Khamari Mitchell-Steen. After scoring 25 and 30 in her last two games, Sellers held Mitchell-Steen to eight points on 3-of-16 shooting. Freshman of the Year frontrunner Carter McCray had 11 points and 12 rebounds.
Purdue Fort Wayne improves to 18-10, 11-6 in the Horizon League. Northern Kentucky falls to 9-17 and 7-10 in the league. The Mastodons return to action on Saturday (Feb. 24) at IUPUI.
