HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. --- Winning for a second-straight day at the BB&T Arena, the Green Bay women's basketball team registered an impressive sweep of Northern Kentucky with a 62-58 victory on Saturday afternoon. GB (10-4) entered the weekend in the No. 4 seed spot, with NKU checking in at No. 3 in the updated seeded rankings that will be used to determine the tournaments' seeds this year. With the two-game sweep, the Phoenix will almost certainly jump ahead of the Norse (6-2) with two play weekends remaining.

Another tight game late went the way of the road team, with GB once again icing the game at the free throw line. The Phoenix made six-straight free throws as NKU scored quickly each time, with Lyndsey Robson eventually making the final two to secure the win. Cassie Schiltz and Sydney Levy also both netted a pair in the final seconds of the game, winning its third game in the last four against the top-half of the league.

The Phoenix won behind another balanced attack, with Robson leading the way wth 15 points on a 5-for-7 effort. Caitlyn Hibner put forth her usual strong outing, finishing with 14 points and nine rebounds. Schiltz was the other GB player in double-figures, registering 11 points, five rebounds and four assists. 

GB actually trailed by one at the half, but held NKU to only 1-for-10 shooting from beyond the arc in the second half. The Norse hit five 3s in the first half, but GB was hot from long range as well, making half of its 16 3-point attempts to finish 50 percent in the game. 

There were 10 lead changes in the tightly contested game, with neither side leading by more than two possessions. GB finished 7-for-7 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter.

Levy added nine points in Meghan Pingel chipped in with five points and six assists. Four other Phoenix players finished with two points each.

NKU was led by Lindsey Duvall with 19 points and 11 rebounds.

Green Bay will return home next weekend when it plays host to UIC on Friday and Saturday. Both games will tip at 11 a.m. CT and will be streamed on ESPN3.
