GDT Fort Wayne 4:30 PM

We handled the Mastodons on their home court to open the conference season in an old-fashioned 98-85 shootout and there is that old saying about payback but this year's rendition of the Mastodons does seem to be down a bit thanks mostly to the departure of Amada Hyde (now a grad assistant at IU). However, as we have witnessed half-way through the Summit League season, anyone can beat anyone on any given day. I do think JD has the ladies starting to "gel" right about now so I don't expect any sort of payback in this one as long as we are all healthy coming in to it. The 'Don player to watch out for is Haley Seibert, outstanding shooter from long distance. She and Ashley have one thing in common: the ability to put up 30+ in a game. Expect another high-scoring affair at the "Hall" this afternoon.

Did you know this:
On June 2, 1883, the Jenney Electric Light Company, owned by Charles Jenney, illuminated League Park in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Seventeen very large arc lamps providing 4,000 candlepower each. Three lamps were fastened to the grandstand; one was placed behind the pitcher's box and the rest were stationed along the baselines and in the outfield. The seven inning game was played between professionals of the Northwestern League from Quincy, Illinois and a team from Methodist College. The professionals won 19-11. The event was covered by the media and three periodicals, The Gazette, The Fort Wayne News and The Sporting Life were all very critical of the artificial light. The Sporting Life did end their article by stating that with more lights that such an event could be a success.
