Brandie Baker recorded her first double-double on the season, with 16 points and 10 rebounds, as the Central Michigan women's basketball team claimed the biggest upset in school history defeating No. 12/14 Purdue, 75-62, on Sunday. With 6:31 left to play Crystal Bradford set up Jas'Mine Bracey, off a pick-and-roll, for an easy layup to give the Chippewas (3-5) their second lead of the half at 58-56. Bradford and Baker teamed up, going 7-for-8 from the charity stripe the rest of the way, to seal the Maroon and Gold's first home win of the season. "I am very, very proud of this basketball team," said head coach Sue Guevara. "I thought we had a total team effort today and I thought our bench came to play. It's a nice win for our program and it shows that we are very capable of playing with the top teams in the country. We have been a work in progress, we are still a work in progress, and it is nice to see it come together."
