Know Your Foe
Detroit Mercy is 5-19 and 3-12 in Horizon League play, but have won just one contest since December 21. That win came last week (Feb. 7) at Oakland in a 72-69 rivalry game. Jasmine Edwards and Makayla Jackson are the two biggest offensive threats, with Edwards averaging 11 points per game while shooting a respectable 53.0 percent, entirely on 2-pointers. Jackson is pitching in 10.7 points per game with a more even distribution of 3-pointers and shots inside the arc.
Series History
Purdue Fort Wayne leads the series 12-10, but the Mastodons have dominated the series recently. Since joining the Horizon League in 2020, the 'Dons are 10-1 against the Titans.
A Win Would...
• Give the Mastodons their sixth win in a row over Detroit Mercy
• Make the Mastodons 5-5 in Calihan Hall
• Be the Mastodons' fifth win away from home
• Give Maria Marchesano her 57th Horizon League win and 89th win as Mastodon head coach
Anyone's Night
The Mastodons have six different players that have scored 20 points or more in a game this season: Rylee Bess, Lili Krasovec, Alana Nelson, Hillary Offing, Jordan Reid and Ella Riggs.
Offing Offense
In Purdue Fort Wayne's visit to Cleveland State, Hillary Offing scored a Division I career-high 21 points on 8-of-11 shooting in 27 minutes off the bench. Her previous Mastodon-high was six points.
Alotta Alana
Alana Nelson ranks in the top-70 nationally with a field goal percentage of 50.0. She is also top-90 with 16.6 points per game and 40th in 3-point percentage at 41.1.
Even More Alana
When Alana Nelson scores 15 or more, the Mastodons are 13-2. The two losses were at Xavier and at Wright State.
The Latest of Lili
Over the last five games, Lili Krasovec averaged 14.4 points per game.
50-50 Chance
The Mastodons have shot over 50 percent in five games this season. This ties for the fourth-most games in a season shooting 50 percent or more in the program's Division I history. The 'Dons shot over 50 percent in 11 games in 2010-11, 10 games in 2013-14, eight games in 2024-25 and five games in 2023-24.
3-Point Threat
Rylee Bess has the second-best season-long 3-point percentage by a freshman in program history. Her mark of 39.5 percent (51-of-129) is only bested by Jordan Zuppe (2007-08), who shot 43.3 percent (74-of-171) in her freshman season.
At Her Bess(t)
Rylee Bess' 41.1 3-point percentage is the fifth-best by any freshman in the country this season and 57th nationally among all players.

2025-26 - Alana Nelson - 41.1 percent
2024-25 - Lauren Ross - 47.6 percent
2023-24 - Shayla Sellers - 40.2 percent
Chasing 2,000

Look at Lee!
Lauren Lee is second in the HL with 4.1 assists per league game. She also has a 2.3 assist-to-turnover ratio, a league-best. Her 1.88 assist-to-turnover for the entire season ranks 67th in the country.
League Leader

The Mastodons are 5-1 this season when they hit 10 or more 3-pointers this season. Under Maria Marchesano's leadership, the 'Dons have had 55 such games with a 43-12 record in those games.
I'll Take That
