HAMMOND, Ind. -- The Purdue University Northwest women's basketball team will host Davenport University on Friday and Saturday inside the Fitness & Recreation Center. Tipoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. CST on Friday and noon CST on Saturday.

Watch both games on JEDtv.com with Sam Michel and Brooke Weisbrod on the call.



PNW (1-3) hopes to keep momentum going this week after claiming its first win. The Pride defeated Lake Superior State, 61-52, as Danielle Nennig posted her first career double-double with 15 points and career-high 13 rebounds, along with Anjel Galbraith who filled the stat sheet with 18 points, three assists, three steals and two rebounds. Nennig (11.0), Galbraith (10.3) and Savaya Brockington (10.5) are all averaging double figures in the scoring column. Sunday's win snapped PNW's 10-game losing streak in league games dating back to last season, which included six losses by single digits.

PNW will try to end another streak tomorrow as it looks to capture its first home victory since Feb. 1, 2020 – a span of five games. The Pride's last win in Hammond came against Davenport in a close game, 75-72.
