In an historic evening at Mackey Arena, junior forward Danielle Campbell recorded only the second triple-double in the history of the women's basketball program with a 12-point, 11-rebound and 11-block performance to help pace Purdue to a 69-53 victory over Butler Saturday night. The 11 blocks in a game is a new school record and her 12 points is a personal best.

"I was very surprised I got a triple double tonight," Campbell said. "Last game, I wasn't there offensively for my team, and this game, I had to be there for my team."

Junior forward Natasha Bogdonova also aided in the Boilermaker victory by scoring 16 points, all in the second half, and converting on 6-of-7 from the field and a perfect 3-of-3 from long range.

After starting the second half on a 16-2 run and leading 46-22 with about 15 minutes left in the game, Purdue was held scoreless by the Bulldogs for the next five minutes, who went on a 14-0 run and cut the lead to 46-36. That's when Bogdonova connected from the right wing with 10 minutes to play and allowed Purdue to regain control of the contest.

Along with Campbell and Bogdonova, two other Boilermakers (2-0) finished in double figures with FahKara Malone tying Bogdonova with 16 points, a career-high, and Lakisha Freeman adding 15.

Campbell, like her teammate Bogdonova, started the game slowly with six points and only three rebounds as Purdue held a 30-20 lead heading into the break. The Boilermakers shot only 38 percent from the floor in the first half, but the Boilermakers capitalized on nine blocked shots, three steals and nine assists in the second half and shot 55 percent from the floor after halftime.

Susan Lester led the way for the Bulldogs (2-1) with 14 points and six rebounds. The Boilermakers now hold a 6-0 record all-time against Butler.

The Boilermakers next contest will be against Duke in the U.S. Virgin Islands Paradise Jam on Thursday.
