FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball's historic start to Horizon League play continued on Thursday (Jan. 9). The Mastodons beat Milwaukee 70-58 in the Gates Sports Center to stay put atop the league standings at 7-0.
The Mastodons' 7-0 start to Horizon League play matches the best league start in program history. The Mastodons were 7-0 to start Great Lakes Valley Conference play in 1995-96, which stands as the program record. With Thursday's win, Purdue Fort Wayne owns a nine-game winning streak, extending the Division I era program record. If the Mastodons win on Sunday, it will be the first 10-game winning streak for the program since that same 1995-96 season.
Amellia Bromenschenkel and Lauren Ross carried the Mastodons on both ends of the floor on Thursday night. Bromenschenkel had a double-double of 14 points and 11 rebounds while Lauren Ross scored 16 points and added eight boards. Jazzlyn Linbo (14) and Sydney Freeman (12) helped carry the offensive load, going a combined 10-for-14 inside the arc.
The Mastodons' game plan of score at the basket was effective all night. The Mastodons shot 56.4 percent (22-of-39) inside the 3-point arc, finishing the game at 44.8 percent from the field after an off shooting night of 4-for-19. The Mastodons were equally good defensively, holding Milwaukee to 38.2 percent from the floor and 25.0 percent from 3-point range.
Milwaukee led for nearly two minutes, but never by more than two. The Mastodons led for nearly 36 minutes of the contest, continuing their impressive stretch basketball over the last nine games.
The Mastodons looked their best in a two-minute stretch to start the third quarter. Linbo had a 4-0 run herself, then Bromenschenkel had a 3-pointer and Ross scored at the hoop. This 9-2 run put the 'Dons up 17. Later on in the third after Milwaukee got it within 12, Purdue Fort Wayne had an 8-2 run led by four from Jordan Reid. This put the 'Dons up 18 at 55-37, which was the largest of the night.
Purdue Fort Wayne won the battle in the paint 44-26. The 'Dons also got 31 points off of Milwaukee 21 miscues.
The Mastodons improve to 12-5 and 7-0 in Horizon League action as the nine-game winning streak continues. Milwaukee falls to 4-14, 1-6 in league play.
The unbeaten Mastodons will visit Horizon League preseason favorite Cleveland State on Sunday (Jan. 12) in a marquee regular season matchup.
