Game Notes: Purdue Fort Wayne | Green Bay | Horizon League
Know Your Foe
Green Bay is 25-6 and finished the Horizon League regular season at 17-3 to earn the No. 2 seed. The Phoenix dominated Youngstown State 94-57 in the quarterfinal round to advance to Indianapolis. The Phoenix are led by All-Horizon League First Teamer Natalie McNeal. She is averaging 13.0 points and 6.8 boards for Green Bay.
The Series
The 11-game series against Green Bay includes the matchup in the Horizon League Championship semifinal last season. Green Bay won that game 69-65. The Mastodons are still seeking their first win against the Phoenix in the series dating back to January 7, 1984.
Shut Down The Titans
In the Mastodons' quarterfinal matchup against Detroit Mercy, Purdue Fort Wayne held the Titans to just 35 points. That is the fewest a Division I has ever scored against the Mastodons, besting the Mastodons' defensive effort against Robert Morris earlier this season, when RMU scored just 36. The 35 from the Titans also marked the second-best defensive effort in a Horizon League Championship game in over 20 years.
