DETROIT – Purdue Fort Wayne earned their fifth win in a row thanks to an 83-76 victory at Detroit Mercy on Wednesday (Jan. 21) evening at Calihan Hall.
The 'Dons shot 12-of-30 form three, with Mikale Stevenson going 6-of-10 for 22 points. Corey Hadnot II also had 22 points, but he did it without a 3-pointer. Hadnot was 7-of-14 from inside the arc and made 8-of-11 free throw attempts.
While Stevenson and Hadnot had the gaudy point totals, Wednesday saw multiple Mastodons make key plays. The 'Dons finished with 19 bench points. Darius Duffy had seven of them, and nine rebounds. Ebrahim Kaba (5), EJ Mosley (5) and Chris Morgan (2) also scored off the bench.
Defensively the Mastodons kept the Titans scoreless in fast break points.
Detroit Mercy opened the second half with a layup to take their largest lead of the second half at 41-36. Back-to-back Stevenson 3-pointers put the 'Dons up 45-43 just a few minutes later. Purdue Fort Wayne took the lead for good on a 14-2 run. The stretch ended with 10:30 on the clock and the Mastodons up 62-51. Stevenson had seven of the 14 points. Detroit Mercy didn't get any closer than five points the rest of the way. Maximus Nelson provided a dagger on a 3-pointer with 2:22 left to put the 'Dons up 76-67.
Nelson made three 3-pointers in the contest to bring his Mastodon career total to 186. He passed Bobby Planutis to take the No. 10 spot in program history in career 3-pointers.
Detroit Mercy was led by TJ Nadeau's 22 points.
Purdue Fort Wayne improves to 13-8 (7-3 Horizon League), and are just a half game out of first place. Detroit Mercy falls to 8-11 (5-5 Horizon League). The Mastodons are back in action on Sunday (Jan. 25) at IU Indy.
