GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) --- Green Bay's three-game winning streak was snapped on Friday night at Calihan Hall as host Detroit Mercy turned in its best shooting performance of the season, finishing 17-of-26 from three-point range to help claim an 86-61 victory.
Â
The Phoenix jumped out to a 6-0 lead after
PJ Pipes and
Amari Davis connected from long range. The advantage was short-lived, however, as the Titans stormed back with an 8-0 run to take control.
Â
Pipes and Davis would once again respond with back-to-back three-pointers to put GB back in front 12-11, but it was be the last advantage the Green and White would see in the matchup.
Â
As the opening half came to a close and both teams headed to the locker room, UDM's lead had reached double figures, 44-31, despite a 9-of-16 performance from long range for Green Bay.
Â
The Titans continued its impressive shooting display deep into the second half, helping to seal an 86-61 victory.
Â
Pipes finished with a team-high 17 points and sank five three-pointers while doling out five assists in 32 minutes. Fellow senior
Josh Jefferson also reached double figures, adding 10 points to GB's total.
Â
Green Bay shot only two free throws in the pairing and Detroit Mercy finished 7-of-11 from the line.
GB buried 14 three-pointers in the game, tying the program record for number of triples made in a single game. The Phoenix has made 14 triples five other times in program history.
Â
Green Bay returns to the court tomorrow at 4 p.m. to close out the series with Detroit Mercy. The game will once again be streamed live on ESPN+.
