The Green Bay Phoenix women will have to win its rubber match against Purdue Fort Wayne if it wants to make the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row after outlasting Robert Morris 67-53.

The Colonials proved to the Phoenix right away that it would not be an easy out after losing two blowouts to the regular season champs. The Phoenix found themselves trailing by five points at the end of the first quarter before outscoring the Colonials 21-5 in the second quarter to give them a lead they would not relinquish. After the Colonials chipped away at the lead in the third quarter, the Phoenix again outscored their opponents in the final period to cement their place in Tuesday's championship game. Four Phoenix seniors led the way as Natalie McNeal registered her 13th double-double with 20 points and 12 rebounds. Maddy Schreiber scored 16 points, Jasmine Kondrakiewicz poured in 14 points, and Bailey Butler added 12 points. Isys Grady led the Colonials with 13 points in the loss.

After hitting 15 three-pointers against Cleveland State, the Mastodons will have an opportunity to avenge an overtime loss earlier this month to the Phoenix when the two teams play their championship game in Indianapolis at 11 a.m.
