MILWAUKEE - The Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball team will play for the outright Horizon League regular season title on Saturday (March 1).
The 18-1 Mastodons will visit the 18-1 Green Bay Phoenix on Saturday at 2 p.m. ET.
The Mastodons dismantled Milwaukee 82-46 on Thursday night (Feb. 27). The 'Dons picked up their 23rd win of the season, matching the program record for wins in a season.

In a stretch from the 4:22 mark in the second quarter to the 6:21 mark in the third, Purdue Fort Wayne was 8-for-8 from 3-point range. Meanwhile, the Mastodons held Milwaukee to just four points in the third quarter, the fewest a team has scored in a quarter against the 'Dons since Robert Morris on December 4.
The Mastodons' scoring effort was very balanced, with 12 different 'Dons scoring at least one point. Lauren Ross went 4-of-5 from beyond the arc for 12 points and Audra Emmerson was 4-of-8 for 12 points. Amellia Bromenschenkel was 3-of-3 for 11 points and added six rebounds. Renna Schwieterman scored 10 points off the bench.
As a team, Purdue Fort Wayne shot 51.8 percent (29-of-56) from the floor and 51.9 percent (14-of-27) from 3-point range. The Mastodons dished out 17 assists while committing just 14 turnovers. The 'Dons forced MKE into 23 turnovers, which led to 31 Mastodon points.
Purdue Fort Wayne moves to 23-6, 18-1 Horizon League while Milwaukee falls to 8-23, 5-15.
The Mastodons and Phoenix will clash for the outright Horizon League regular season championship on Saturday (March 1) at 2 p.m. ET.
