Purdue shot 40 percent from the field in the first half overall and was two for four from three-point range while Wright State hit for just 22 percent and missed all eight of its attempts from behind the arc.
The Boilermakers maintained a double-digit advantage the rest of the way, with the closest margin being 33-21 in the early stages of the second half.
WSU shot 22 percent for the game overall and made one of 16 three-pointers while Purdue shot 43 percent for the contest.
Mingo led the Raiders with 23 points while Tayler Stanton collected a career-high 19 rebounds. Mingo was named to the All-Tournament Team as she scored 70 points in three games with 16 assists, 11 steals and nine rebounds.
