Mastodon WBB Extends Win Streak to 16 With Demolition of Oakland
2/6/2025 9:07:00 PM | Women's Basketball
FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball extended its winning streak to 16 games in a row on Thursday (Feb. 6), drubbing Oakland 75-46 in the Gates Sports Center.
The Mastodons' winning streak dates back to Thanksgiving Day, the fourth-longest in the country. With Thursday's victory, Purdue Fort Wayne improved to 19-5 and 14-0 in the Horizon League.
Purdue Fort Wayne's approach to the game was as business-like as the last 16 wins. They never trailed in the game, leading for all but the 56 seconds it took to score first. The 'Dons jumped out to an 8-0 lead and never let Oakland even tie the contest from there. Prior to halftime, Purdue Fort Wayne went on an 11-1 run in just under three minutes of game time to take a 37-18 lead into halftime. Sydney Graber had a career-high 10 rebounds by halftime, helping the Mastodons crush the Golden Grizzlies on the glass 31-9 at the break.
Right after halftime, the 'Dons mounted a 14-4 push to stretch the lead out to 29 and all but sealed the game away. In that run, Amellia Bromenschenkel scored six with a 3-pointer and an old-fashioned 3-point play, and Audra Emmerson drained two of her five triples.
The game plan on defense worked to a tee. The Mastodons held the Horizon League's second-leading scorer Maddy Skorupski to just six points on 2-of-11 shooting. Macy Smith finished with a team-high 15 points.
Emmerson finished with a team-high 15 points while adding six rebounds and three assists. Lauren Ross had 12 points with four triples and Bromenschenkel added 10 points. The 'Dons finished 28-of-67 (41.8 percent) from the floor and 12-of-33 (36.4 percent) from 3-point range. They held OU to 32.8 percent from the floor and 15.4 percent from deep.
Between the two games against Oakland this season, the Mastodons had a 69-point advantage.
Oakland falls to 8-14, 6-7.
The 'Dons will take their 19-5, 14-0 HL record into Saturday's home against Wright State. The 'Dons will host the Raiders at 4 p.m. at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. It will be a doubleheader with the men's team, who will welcome Green Bay.
