CLEVELAND, Ohio (GreenBayPhoenix.com) --- Green Bay's seven-game winning streak was snapped at the hands of Cleveland State on Saturday morning, as the Vikings pulled away down the stretch to secure a 60-48 victory.
 
Both offenses were slow to get going in the morning matchup, as the teams combined to shoot 3-of-19 from long range in the opening frame. Cleveland State's advantage was 12-9 at the end of the first, which the Phoenix quickly erased with a 6-0 run to start the second.
 
GB finished off the half with a 15-5 run ignited by seven-straight points from seniors Meghan Pingel and Caitlyn Hibner, ultimately leading to a 30-23 advantage at the break.
 
The hosts closed the third with a 9-2 run to take control and never looked back. Cleveland State scored first in the fourth to increase its advantage to double digits.
 
The teams exchanged buckets as time continued to dwindle, with Green Bay lowering its deficit to single digits after a Hibner layup with 3:40 remaining. CSU's Isabelle Gradwell answered with a triple as the Vikings maintained a double-digit lead for the remainder of the matchup.
 
CSU's 60-48 improved the team's record to 3-7 in league play, while Green Bay falls to 7-3.
 
Hibner finished with a team-high 14 points in the matchup and was the lone double-digit scorer for Green Bay.
 
The Phoenix returns home next weekend to face defending regular season and tournament champion, IUPUI.
