Game Notes

QUICK HITTERS
- IUPUI moved to 2-0 on the season with another big win, this one against Ball State. The Jags beat the Cardinals 73-49 for their second-straight win on the road against a MAC opponent. Macee Williams led the Jags with 28 points and 10 rebounds for her second double-double on the season. 

- Destiny Perkins added 10 points for the Jags and has now scored in double-figures in five of her last six games dating back to last season.

- Williams scored her 1,500th career point early in the game against Ball State and became to fifth Jaguar to reach that career milestone. The senior is now less than 300 points away from becoming IUPUI's all-time leading scorer.

- IUPUI has been on a tear on the offensive end for the start of the season. The Jags scored 85 points in the first game and 73 points in the second game. The combined 158 points are the most the Jags have scored in two games against DI opponents to start a season in DI-history for IUPUI (since 1998). Only twice (2012-13 - 178, 2018-19 - 167) has IUPUI scored more combined points in the two first games of a season but at least one game was against a non-DI opponent. 

-  The Jaguars are looking for their third 3-0 start to a season in the last four years. Last season IUPUI was 2-0 before traveling to another ACC school, losing to the Miami Hurricanes 65-74 to start 2-1.
