FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball's March to Indianapolis continues.
No. 2 seed Purdue Fort Wayne beat No. 8 seed Wright State 64-50 on Thursday night (March 6) in the Hilliard Gates Sports Center to reserve their spot in the Horizon League Championship semifinal.
With the victory, the Mastodons will move on to play Cleveland State on Monday (March 10) at the Corteva Coliseum (formerly the Indiana Farmers Coliseum) in Indianapolis. That game will tip at 2:30 p.m. on ESPN+. Tickets are on sale here.
Purdue Fort Wayne picked up its 24th victory of the season, which sets a new program record. The previous best was 23, set in 1995-96 and matched last season.
The Mastodons led for the majority of the contest (28:40), jumping out to a 5-0 start. Late in the second quarter trailing 29-28, Amellia Bromenschenkel went on a 5-0 run by herself in two possessions to put the 'Dons up four heading into the locker room. After some spirited halftime discussion, the 'Dons had an 8-2 run to start the third quarter that forced WSU to burn a timeout. The Mastodons never trailed from there.
The Raiders had a late 9-3 push to get within eight with three minutes left, but Bromenschenkel and Lauren Ross put the game on ice with a perfect 6-for-6 effort from the free throw line.
Jazzlyn Linbo was fantastic throughout the game, finishing with 10 points, nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block with just one turnover in 25 minutes. Her sub from the bench, Sydney Graber, was good as well with eight points and six boards in the other 15 minutes.
Bromenschenkel led the team with 15 points and added five rebounds. Ross finished with 11 points, four rebounds and three assists.
The Mastodons were 41.5 percent from the floor (22-of-53) and 44.4 percent from 3-point land (8-of-18). Wright State was 17-of-56 from the floor for 30.4 percent and 6-of-21 for 28.6 percent from the 3-point line.
Purdue Fort Wayne improves to a program-best 24-7 while Wright State falls to 10-22. The Mastodons will take the floor at the Corteva Coliseum on Monday (March 10) for a 2:30 p.m. tip in Indy.
