HAMMOND, Ind. -- The Purdue University Northwest Women's Basketball team hosted the Lincoln College Lynx on Tuesday, November 12 in their 2019-20 home opener. Led by four players with double-figure scoring nights, the Pride defeated the Lynx 92-68 on the John Friend Court at the Fitness and Recreation Center, marking Coach Courtney Locke's first win since joining the Pride.

Anjel Galbraith (Vallejo, Cal./Salesian College Prep) played in all 40 minutes for the second-straight game as she led PNW with a career-high 21 points on 7-10 shooting, including 3-5 from three-point range and 4-4 from the free-throw line. Galbraith also finished with four rebounds, four assists and four steals. The assist and steal totals are also career highs for Galbraith. Other leaders for the Pride included Savaya Brockington (Indianapolis, Ind./North Central), Danielle Nennig (Wrightstown, Wis./Wrightstown) and Molly Devalkenaere (Milwaukee, Wis./Brookfield). Brockington recorded 16 points in her career-high 38 minutes of action, nine assists, four rebounds and one steal. Nennig scored 13 points on 3-6 shooting, including 6-6 from the charity stripe, nine rebounds, four assists and three steals. Devalkenaere finished with 13 points on 3-6 shooting, including 6-8 from the free-throw line, two rebounds, three assists and one block.

"I'm really proud of the team," said Locke. "They earned it! I challenged them to get in the gym to make shots and they answered 10-19 from the 3-point line. It felt good to protect our home court and play in front of our fans. I hope we enjoy it and get ready for Friday. We have tunnel vision, will have our heads down and take care of business!"

The night marked Coach Locke's first win since taking the helm of the PNW Women's Basketball program. Leading the Pride on the court through the first three games of the season, Locke now turns her attention toward the next home game on Friday, November 15 when PNW will take on the University of Missouri - St. Louis for the 2019-2020 Domino's Season Tip-Off. The first 100 fans attending the doubleheader will receive a free t-shirt and free pizza courtesy of Domino's. The women will tip off at 5 p.m. with the men's program to follow at 7 p.m.
