Purdue steamed past Baylor to win Baylor's own tournament the preseason WNIT. The visitors led by 14 at the half, but the host Bears cut the deficit to four.

Then Baylor's Jess Morrow got T'd up for illegal contact with Erin Lawless's arm, "the crowd got a little upset at the refs and it took them out of the game a little bit," as Purdue's Katie Gearlds explained it.

Purdue then rebuilt a double-digit lead. Wisdom-Hylton tallied 23, Gearlds 21. The Boilermakers have played, and won, fifth game in less than two weeks: they return to the hardwood on the 24th.
