LAST TIME OUT ...
  • For the first time since Dec. 30, 2001, the IUPUI women’s basketball team topped 100 points as the Jaguars sprinted past the Grace College Lancers, 107-48, on Saturday, Nov. 10 in their season opener at The Jungle.
  • In her IUPUI debut, DeAirra Goss led the Jags with 24 points on 9-of-14 shooting, while Nicole Rogers came off the bench to score 14 points thanks to four three-pointers. Dee-Dee Bellamy was the other double-figure scorer putting in a career-high tying 13 points, while adding five rebounds, four assists and four steals.
  • The Jaguars hit on 49.4 percent of their field goals, including 56.5 percent (13-of-23) from behind-the-arc. The 13 made triples are the most since the team hit 10 back on Nov. 20, 2005 against Iowa State.
  • It took the Jags 2:26 to score their first bucket of the season, but once Nevena Markovic’s lay-up dropped at the 17:34 mark, that spurred a 14-2 run over the next 3:42 that pushed IUPUI in front, 15-4.
  • Trailing by 20 points with 9:05 to play in the opening half, Grace mounted a 10-0 response to close within 11 points, 31-20, at the six-minute mark.
  • With the IUPUI lead still at 11, 33-22, Goss buried a triple at the 4:33 mark and 15 seconds later, a lay-up from Bellamy quickly pushed the lead back to 16 points. A three-point play by Goss followed by consecutive buckets in the paint from Shawnece Teague widened the gap to 21 points, 45-24, with just over two minutes to play in the opening half.
  • In the final minute, Goss hit one-of-two free throws and Rogers buried the first three-pointer of her career to send the Jags into the locker room on top 49-24.
  • Out of the break, IUPUI pushed the tempo and took a 72-35 lead at the 12-minute mark following a Goss triple from the right wing.
  • From that point on, the Jags cruised to a 107-48 victory.
  • 14 players saw action for IUPUI in the game with 12 of those players scoring. Akilah Sims made her first career start and scored four points, while grabbing two rebounds.
  • Markovic put forth another solid effort with eight points and a game-high seven rebounds, while preseason first-team All-Summit League selection Kerah Nelson scored eight points, grabbed six boards, dished out four assists and had two steals.
 
IUPUI’S OPENER
  • In IUPUI’s season-opening win over Grace College, IUPUI reached several benchmarks that it had not reached in years.

The 107 points are the most points IUPUI has scored since joining the Division I ranks, and it marked the most points scored since IUPUI lost to Bellarmine in overtime on Jan. 25, 1995, 111-119.
  • In scoring 107 points, IUPUI connected on 40-of-81 field goal attempts, including 13-of-23 made three-pointers.
  • By making 40 field goals, it was the first time since Feb. 18, 2008, in which the Jags made more than 35 field goals in a game, and the 13 made 3-pointers marked the first time it had made double-digit three’s since Nov. 20, 2005 against Iowa State.
  • Finally, IUPUI’s 81 field goal attempts marked the first time it had surpassed 75 field goal attempts in a game since throwing up 78 attempts against Cleveland State on Dec. 8, 2001.
