Mastodon WBB's Longest Win Streak in Program History Comes to an End
2/15/2025 5:20:00 PM | Women's Basketball
FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The longest winning streak in Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball history was snapped on Saturday (Feb. 15), when the Mastodons fell to Cleveland State 61-52 in the Gates Sports Center.
More important than the basketball on the floor was the Pink Out celebration prior to the game. It was the 18th annual event for the Mastodons to support breast cancer awareness and resources. The Mastodons raised over $6,500 for the Vera Bradley Foundation and Breastie Boxes and checks were presented to the organizations during the game.
The contest was as competitive as a matchup between two of the three best teams in the Horizon League should be. There were 14 lead changes and four ties. Purdue Fort Wayne led for 20:39 and Cleveland State for 12:39.
It was a one-possession game late into the fourth quarter, but after Audra Emmerson hit a huge 3-pointer with 4:27 remaining to go up 52-50, the Vikings went on an 11-0 run to take the win. Jordan Reid came up big late in the contest, as she scored or assisted on the last 18 Mastodon points. She finished 7-of-9 for a total of 16 points and added four rebounds and two assists.
The difference in the game came on the glass, as the Vikings out-rebounded the Mastodons 44-29. CSU had three players with double-digit rebounds, including double-doubles from Jordana Reisma and Destiny Leo. Player of the Year candidate Mickayla Perdue had a game-high 22 points for the Vikings.
The Mastodons held the Vikings to 38.6 percent from the floor and 22.2 percent from 3-point range.
With their first loss since Thanksgiving Day, the Mastodons fell to 20-6, 15-1 in the Horizon League. Cleveland State improved to 21-6 and 12-4 in the Horizon League.
Purdue Fort Wayne has until Thursday (Feb. 20) to prepare for a trip to Northern Kentucky.
