Game Notes: Purdue Fort Wayne | Green Bay | Horizon League

Know Your Foe
Green Bay is 25-5 and 18-1 in Horizon League play, with the only loss in league play coming at the hands of the Mastodons back in December. The Phoenix have won 18 in a row since losing to Creighton on December 14. The Phoenix are very balanced offensively, with six different players averaging between 9.0 and 14.5 points per game.

The Series
Green Bay has dominated the series 12-1 all-time, but Purdue Fort Wayne won its first game in the series earlier this season, a 67-66 decision in Fort Wayne. Lauren Ross had 25 points with a 6-for-6 effort from the 3-point arc.

Finishing Strong
In the last six games, Audra Emmerson averaged 11.0 points per game while shooting 47.2 percent (25-of-53) from the floor and 41.4 percent (12-of-29) from beyond the arc.

Consistency!
Amellia Bromenschenkel has scored 11 points in each of the last three games.

Fort Wayne's Own
Over her last five games played, Sydney Graber is 76.0 percent (19-of-25) from the floor.

She Can Reid The Defense
Over the last eight games, Jordan Reid is averaging 9.9 points per game while shooting 38-of-66 (57.6 percent). In the Cleveland State game on February 15, she scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, and scored or assisted on the final 18 Mastodon points.

Shooters Shoot
Lauren Ross' 48.4 percent clip from 3-point range is the best in the country. Her 3.21 triples per game rank fourth nationally and 94.0 percent from the free throw line is third-best.

Road Warriors
Purdue Fort Wayne is 11-3 on the road this season and a perfect 9-0 in Horizon League road games. The Mastodons' 11 road wins is the best mark in program history.

Dubs
Purdue Fort Wayne has 23 wins this season, which is the most wins for the program in a regular season at the Division I level and matches the program's all-time single-season wins record.

The Next Win Would...
• One home win would set the program's most wins in a season at home at 13
• One more win would set a new program record for wins in a season at 24
• A win on Saturday would clinch the Mastodons' first league regular season championship of any level

Literally Free
Lauren Ross has missed just one of her last 41 free throws dating back to the fourth quarter of the IU Indy game on December 11.

Ross Has the Sauce
Through 29 games, Lauren Ross is shooting 47.9 percent from the floor, 48.4 percent from 3-point range and 94.0 percent from the line. If those percentages hold, she would be one of 18 players to shoot 45/45/90 since the 3-point line was added to college basketball.

Amellia BromenDubayoo
Amellia Bromenschenkel has 70 wins in her career which is the most of any Mastodon women's basketball player at the Division I level. Audra Emmerson and Jazzlyn Linbo have 69 each, right behind the graduate student.

Some is Schwiet, More Is Schwieter
Renna Schwieterman is shooting 52.6 percent (40-of-76) from 2-point range this season.

Last Time Out
Purdue Fort Wayne dominated Milwaukee 82-46 thanks to double-digit scoring efforts from Lauren Ross (12), Audra Emmerson (12), Amellia Bromenschenkel (11) and Renna Schwieterman (10).

Coming Up
The Mastodons will open the 2025 Barbasol Horizon League Championship with a home quarterfinal game at the Gates Sports Center on Thursday (March 6). The opponent will be determined on seeding and results from the previous round.
