Game Notes: Purdue Fort Wayne | Bowling Green | Horizon League
Know Your Foe
Bowling Green is 2-4 and is coming off a 67-63 win at Division II Alaska Anchorage. The Falcons' other win was in the season opener at Louisiana. The game against Purdue Fort Wayne will be BG's first regular season home game. Paige Kohler (14.5) and Johnea Donahue (13.7) lead the Falcons in points per game. Donahue is scoring exclusively in the post while Kohler is sprinkling in less than two 3-pointers per game.
Series History
Bowling Green leads the series 5-0, but the two squads have not met in 20 years, despite being separated by just 86 miles. The Mastodons made the trip to Bowling Green three times between 2001 and 2005.
Career Points Tracker
Let's take a look at the career scoring numbers for the three former NAIA All-Americans on the roster regardless of level.
Alana Nelson - 2,371 (482 at Northwood, 1,787 at Spring Arbor, 102 at PFW)
Jordan Reid - 1,732 (1,395 at Indiana Wesleyan, 337 at PFW)
Lauren Lee - 1,645 (1,630 at Campbellsville, 15 at PFW)
3-Point Threat
Rylee Bess is shooting 53.3 percent (16-of-30) from beyond the arc this season, which leads the team. With a minimum of two makes per game, she leads the Horizon League and is top-20 nationally. Bess has the second-best 3-point percentage among all freshmen in the country, second to Pepperdine's Seleh Harmon (55.6 percent). Bess is also top-60 nationally with 16 3-point makes.
3-Point Threat x2
Rylee Bess went 5-for-6 from 3-point range against (RV) Nebraska after starting 5-for-5. The 83.3 percent mark was good for the seventh-best 3-point shooting performance in Purdue Fort Wayne history.
Expanded Role
After shooting 10.5 percent on just 19 attempts from 3-point range in her first four years at Indiana Wesleyan, Jordan Reid has expanded her toolbox to include the 3-point shot. She is 5-for-16 (31.3 percent) from deep this season.
Bess Is Here
If Rylee Bess' 3-pointer to beat Purdue wasn't enough, Bess' explosion for 17 points against (RV) Nebraska welcomed her into the collegiate ranks. Bess was the first Mastodon freshman to score 17 points against a Division I foe since Audra Emmerson had 19 against Wright State in 2022.
They're Playing a Lot, Huh?
Alana Nelson (33.6) and Jordan Reid (32.3) lead the Horizon League in minutes played per game.
In the HL
Alana Nelson's 50.0 field goal percentage ranks third and her 14.6 points per game ranks fifth in the Horizon League.
Nelson the Hooper
Alana Nelson scored 25 points against Northwestern State in the Emerald Coast Classic on November 25. That was the most she had scored at the Division I level. Her career-high of any level is 47 points against Lourdes in 2023 while at Spring Arbor.
I'll Take That
Jordan Reid is averaging 2.7 steals per game, which ranks second in the Horizon League.
Inside The Arc? Guaranteed Bucket
Lili Krasovec is shooting 70.7 percent from the floor this season (29-for-41). If she qualified for the leaderboard with enough attempts, she would lead the Horizon League in the field goal percentage category.
Home Sweet Gates
Purdue Fort Wayne is 45-21 (68.2 percent) at home under head coach Maria Marchesano and 30-6 (83.3 percent) over the last three seasons.
Magic Numbers 70 and 80
Under head coach Maria Marchesano, the Mastodons are 51-8 when they score 70 points or more and 24-2 when they hit 80.
Bench Mob
Purdue Fort Wayne's bench is out-scoring its opponents' benches 160-112 this season. The Mastodon bench has led in bench points in all but one game (vs. Nebraska).
Lock In Lili
Lili Krasovec scored 15 points twice this season (Purdue, Eastern Michigan), which is her career-high mark. In those games, she was a combined 9-for-12 from the floor and 12-of-14 from the free throw line.
Last Time Out
Purdue Fort Wayne topped Northwestern State 77-68 in the Emerald Coast Classic. Alana Nelson recorded a team-high 25 points, seven rebounds and four assists.
Next Time Up
The start to Horizon League play is right around the corner. Purdue Fort Wayne will visit IU Indianapolis on Wednesday (Dec. 3) with a 6:30 start.
