Purdue at Fort Wayne

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Interstat) — The undefeated Purdue Boilermakers visit the Fort Wayne Mastodons in a nonconference women’s basketball game Wednesday at Gates Sports Center.

Purdue (2-0) enters the contest with momentum after an 82-67 home victory over Eastern Illinois last Thursday. Hila Karsh led the way with 24 points and seven rebounds, while Kendall Puryear added 11 points off the bench. The Boilermakers opened their season with a 67-48 win over Fairleigh Dickinson.

Fort Wayne (0-2) is seeking its first win after a pair of narrow road losses. The Mastodons fell 62-61 at Xavier on Friday, with Alana Nelson scoring 23 points and Lili Krasovec dishing out seven assists. They opened the season with an 83-47 loss at West Virginia.

The game pits Purdue’s early-season offense against a Fort Wayne team looking to break through at home. The Boilermakers’ upcoming schedule includes a trip to Kentucky on Nov. 18, while the Mastodons host Southern Illinois on Nov. 15.

Tipoff is set for Wednesday night.
