Final Stats

GREEN BAY, Wis. - Omega Harrington equaled a school record with seven three-pointers en route to a career-high 29 points, but it was not enough as league-leading UW-Green Bay cruised to a 76-52 victory on Thursday night in the Phoenix Sports Center. The loss drops Cleveland State to 3-15 overall and 1-6 in the Horizon League, while the Phoenix improves to 15-3 and 8-0 in the league with their 10th straight victory.

Harrington knocked down 7 of her 10 three-point attempts to match the single game mark for triples set three times previously by two players.

However, her performance was overshadowed by the school record tying 16 three-pointers by UW-Green Bay, as six different players knocked down shots from behind the arc.

The Vikings trailed just 20-15 eight minutes into the game before the Phoenix went on a 17-2 run over the next eight minutes to push the advantage to 20 (37-17) with 3:26 to go in the half. However, CSU responded with an 11-0 burst of its own before a Green Bay bucket with two seconds remaining sent the Phoenix into the locker room with a 39-28 advantage.

UW-Green Bay pulled away for good by scoring 17 of the first 22 points of the second half to lead 56-33 at the 14:06 mark.

"We felt like we had to take away their inside game to compete, but Green Bay just knocked down too many threes tonight," CSU head coach Kate Peterson said. "Omega had a great night, but no one else stepped up offensively. We need to work on becoming much more consistent on the offensive end."

The Phoenix shot 44.8 percent for the game (26-58), including a 45.7 percent effort from behind the arc (16-35). The Vikings were 18-for-45 from the floor (40.0 percent) and 9-for-16 from three-point (56.3 percent) and held a 36-28 advantage on the boards.

Harrington was CSU's only player in double-figures, while Brittany Korth added a career-high 10 rebounds, six points and six assists.

Natalie Berglin paced UW-Green Bay with 16 points and a career-best 13 assists. Rachel Porath and Kayla Groh added 12 and 11 points, respectively.

Cleveland State is in action again on Saturday when the Vikings travel to UW-Milwaukee for a 2:00 p.m. CST contest with the Panthers.
