'Dons Win Road Rivalry Game Over IU Indy 74-68
12/3/2025 8:48:00 PM | Women's Basketball
INDIANAPOLIS - Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball topped rival IU Indianapolis 74-68 on Wednesday evening (Dec. 3) behind 20-point performances from Alana Nelson and Jordan Reid.
With the win, the Mastodons have won their last six against the Jaguars, the best stretch in the history of the series.
Nelson finished with 23 points, nine of which came in the final 10 minutes. Reid had all 21 of her points in the first 30 minutes. Reid was 3-for-4 from the 3-point line, recording the most triples in her career and as many as she hit all last season.
Despite IU Indy leading for nine minutes of the game, the Jaguars never led by more than three. The Mastodons led for nearly 26 minutes and by as many as 15.
The difference in the game came in the third quarter, which saw the Mastodons go on a 10-0 run. Nelson made a pair of free throws, Lauren Lee made a turnaround jumper in the paint, Reid hit two freebies, then Nelson had a floater and a layup. In the fourth quarter, the Mastodons very similarly went on an 8-0 spurt started by Nelson's free throws.
IU Indy chipped away at Purdue Fort Wayne's 15-point lead with a 15-5 stretch over a 4:47 span, cutting the lead to just five. In that stretch, IU Indy was 5-for-5 from the floor. Lauren Lee's free throw with 16 seconds left halted the Jaguars' comeback attempt, allowing them to get no closer than four.
Purdue Fort Wayne's defense was reasonably effective throughout, holding IU Indy to 39.2 percent (20-of-51) from the floor and 21.7 percent (5-of-23) from 3-point range, but the 'Dons let the Jags shoot 30 free throws. The Mastodons did hold Nevaeh Foster to just four points, after she averaged over 16 per game in non-league play.
Nika Lokica pitched in 12 points, joining Nelson and Reid in double-figures. Reid finished with an all-around line of 21 points, seven rebounds, four assists, three steals and a block. Lee had eight points and five assists, both highs of her Mastodon career.
Purdue Fort Wayne improved to 5-4, 1-0 in Horizon League play. IU Indy fell to 3-5, 0-1. The Mastodons will return home for more HL action on Sunday (Dec. 7) when Wright State comes to the Summit City for a 2 p.m. tip.
