59-47 final, tOSU sweeps the Boilermakers in the regular season. Great win with 4 of the next 5 on the road against MSU, Indiana, Iowa and Minny (home game against NU sandwiched in the middle).
Jantel 19 pts, 13 rebs - congratulations on hitting 1000 career points in the first half (second fastest to that mark to Katie Smith)! :) Star 14 pts, 5 reb in only 21 min because of fouls; Sammy 11 pts 5 boards 4 assists but on the down side: 8 TOs (her worst of the season) and 1-11 from 3 (even though about 3 of those were heaves at the shot clock buzzer). Shevy 4 pts and 5 steals, Ashlee 5 pts 3 assists, Maria played very solidly with a big 3 pter and 3 assists, Andrea also played a solid 16 min.
Defense was good (25 pts off 22 Purdue TOs and 8 steals), especially to start the second half on a 10-2 run (12-2 edge in fast break points). Board work was very good too (41-30 edge including 16 offensive!). Purdue's matchup zone was a problem, collapsing on Jantel but also managing to take away many of the corner 3 pt looks Foster's offense creates. The Ladies shot over 50% from the field in the second half to overcome an ice cold stretch in the second ten minutes of the game and a 1 pt halftime deficit. All in all a gritty team performance.
