TURNING POINT

• Green Bay had a span of seven-unanswered points in the fourth quarter that stretched the Phoenix lead just far enough to keep NKU from pulling off a comeback.

 
FIRST HALF SUMMARY

• Rose started things off for NKU with a jumper from the right-elbow.
• Duvall followed with three-pointers at both the 8:29 and 6:19 marks in the first.

• Two-straight jump-shots from Duvall closed the quarter as NKU trailed, 18-15. In just 10 minutes, Duvall had 10 points and four rebounds.
• Duvall's performance continued at the beginning of the second quarter with a couple more jumpers with 9:12 and 8:10 left in the half, respectively. Sandwiched between the two shots was a Turner and-one that gave the Norse the lead.
• Four three-pointers sank for Green Bay in the second quarter, but two Garcia triples gave NKU a one-point edge at the half.
• The Norse led, 33-32, going into the break despite Green Bay having better shooting marks overall (11-for-24, 46 percent) and from beyond the arc (7-for-12, 58 percent).

 
SECOND HALF SUMMARY

• A pair of shots went in for Green Bay at the start of the half, but another Garcia three tied things back up at 36 apiece.
• Each team traded blows, as the Norse and the Phoenix were tied again at 41 after a hard-fought Coffey layup with 3:04 to go in the third.
• The Phoenix took a four-point lead with a couple shots, but Rose kept NKU a point behind with an and-one basket to finish out the third quarter.

• Two more Green Bay layups stretched the Phoenix lead back to 56-51 with 2:02 left.
• NKU brought it back to a three-point deficit with a Coffey layup and a Duvall free throw, but the Norse were unable to force a turnover and score again for the win.

• The last time NKU had two players record double-doubles in the same game was on January 7, 2017 versus Youngstown State.
• Duvall's double-double is her fifth the season and the second time this season she had one in back-to-back games. She had 18 points and 11 rebounds on Friday.
• Coffey's double-double is the seventh of her career and the second of this season.
