INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WFRV) – The Green Bay women’s basketball team was two wins away from returning to the NCAA tournament but ran into a tough Cleveland State team in the Horizon League semifinals and picked an inconvenient time to have one of their worst shooting performances in recent memory.
The Phoenix never really got anything going offensively, finishing 17-of-58 (29.3%) from the field, and just 4-of-33 (12.1%) from 3 pt. range in a 69-42 loss at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum .

CSU would lead 32-19 and the closest Green Bay would come was within 11 points in the 2nd half.
