HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Casse Mogan joined an exclusive club at Northern Kentucky University on Saturday night, and the junior guard led the Norse women to a 66-43 victory against Bellarmine.

Mogan finished with 23 points and a career-high eight assists to spark NKU, which opened the second half with a 27-4 run. She also became just the 27th player in NKU women's basketball history to reach the 1,000-point club when she knocked down a 10-foot jumper in the second half.

Mogan, from Circleville, Ohio, now has 1,008 career points and is 26th on the NKU all-time scoring list. She passed Jessie Slack, who netted 1,006 points in two seasons with the Norse. Mogan also finished with five rebounds and four steals on Saturday night.

NKU held Bellarmine to just one field goal in the second half and rallied from a 31-28 deficit at the break. The Knights, who posted a 72-70 win against NKU last month in Louisville, were 1-for-19 (5.3 percent) from the field in the second half on Saturday.

NKU scored the first 12 points of the second half to gain a 40-31 advantage and was never threatened. The Norse held Bellarmine to 27.3 percent shooting from the field for the game and won the rebounding battle by a whopping 48-33 margin.

Kendra Caldwell added nine points and nine rebounds for NKU, which improved to 15-9 overall, 9-7 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. Sadie Bowling finished with nine points and seven rebounds as the Norse snapped a three-game losing streak.

Lauren Jones scored 14 points for Bellarmine, which dropped to 11-12 overall, 6-9 in the GLVC. Jones also made the Knights' only second-half field goal, a layup with 3:08 remaining.

Stephanie Hodges added eight points and grabbed seven rebounds for NKU, which is now 50-27 all-time against Bellarmine. The Norse have not lost at home to Bellarmine since 2002.
