CORAL GABLES, Fla. – IUPUI will face its first road test of the season on Sunday (Nov. 17) as the Jaguars will take on the No. 17 Miami Hurricanes. The game against the Hurricanes will tip-off at 1 p.m. and can be seen on ACCNetwork Extra.

IUPUI (2-0) took care of business in their first two home games of the season and will now face its biggest test of the year, taking on a ranked Miami squad. The Jags beat Ball State and Southern Illinois to start 2-0 for the third-straight year and a win over the Hurricanes would give the Jags a 3-0 for the third consecutive season.

LAST TIME OUT

  •          IUPUI beat Southern Illinois 81-78 on a three-point play by Rachel McLimore with 0.4 seconds left on the clock. McLimore finished the game with 18 points, hitting the 18-point mark for the second-straight game.
  •          Junior Morgan Allen had a stellar night, notching a career-high 24 points and was 9-for-12 from the field against the Salukis.

JAG SCRATCHES

  •  IUPUI went 18-for-22 from the free throw line against SIU as McLimore was 6-for-6 from the stripe. The Jags are shooting .809 from the free throw line (38-47) through two games
  •  IUPUI only hit three three-point field goals against the Salukis, matching the second-lowest total from last season. The Jags have hit at least two threes in every game since going 1-for-12 against Northern Kentucky on Feb. 25, 2018.
  • Macee Williams was held to just five points against Southern Illinois on 2-for-4 shooting. Williams, a junior, has only scored less than five points three times in her career. All three games came in her freshman season.
  •  Destiny Perkins has been a spark off the bench, averaging 9.5 points per game and 3.5 assists per contest in her first season with the Jags after transferring from Akron.
