GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Green Bay dropped its second-straight league game of the season on Friday night, falling 92-89 to Youngstown State at the Resch Center in the annual BlackOut Cancer Game. The Phoenix (11-8, 5-2) led for the majority of the game, but a late three-pointer by the Penguins (9-12, 3-5 HL) proved to be the difference in the game.

Following the Santiago three-pointer, Youngstown State fouled Green Bay to prevent the tie. After both teams exchanged free throws, Trevor Anderson's three-pointer at the buzzer was off the mark.

Kerem Kanter led Green Bay with 21 points and six rebounds, while Charles Cooper scored 18 and grabbed seven boards. Warren Jones went 5-for-5 at the free throw line and recorded 13 points. Khalil Small was the other player to finish in double figures for the Phoenix, tallying 10 points.

Both teams shot similar percentages from the floor, but it was the Penguins who escaped with the win. It's the first time YSU has won in Green Bay since 2003 and just the second time ever in the history of the series.

Five players finished in double figures for YSU, led by Cameron Morse's 27 points.

The BlackOut Cancer Game was another success, raising over $2,000 to go towards Families of Children with Cancer and the Ribbon of Hope. Fans donated money during a dash for cash and donations were accepted throughout the evening.

The Phoenix has a quick turnaround for Monday night, when the host Cleveland State at 6 p.m. The game will be televised on American Sports Network and fans can purchase tickets here.

Green Bay Athletics also recognized Nicolet Bank during the first half for their gift towards the new outdoor soccer facility, which was announced today. For the full release on Nicolet Bank's gift, click here.
