Bridget Perry scored a career-high 27 points and the Boilers used an 11-0 run to defeat Penn State in double overtime, 88-78, despite losing Bree Horrocks to injury late in the first quarter. Purdue moves a game ahead of Nebraska in conference play and is 1.5 back of co-leaders Maryland and Ohio State.
Purdue's women's team has two significant weaknesses: they do not have a center who is a scoring threat, and they do not have a consistent three-point shooter. Tonight, Nebraska took advantage of both weaknesses, running out to an early lead and never looking back as they held off the Boilers, 62-61, handing Purdue just their second home loss in eleven games.
