Preview: Green Bay Phoenix at Cleveland State Vikings CLEVELAND (Interstat) — A pivotal Horizon League women’s basketball clash is set for Wednesday night as the first-place Green Bay Phoenix visit the Cleveland State Vikings at Wolstein Center. The Phoenix (20-5, 11-1 Horizon) enter on a nine-game winning streak and hold a two-game lead in the conference standings. They are coming off a gritty 54-51 road victory at Youngstown State on Saturday, where Jenna Guyer led the way with 16 points and seven rebounds. Guyer, a versatile forward, has been instrumental during the streak, averaging 14.6 points and 5.1 rebounds over her last seven contests. She posted a triple-double (11 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists) in a win over Detroit last month. Cleveland State (18-8, 8-4), sitting third in the league, aims to close the gap and avenge a narrow 58-55 loss in Green Bay on Jan. 2. The Vikings have won three of their last four, most recently defeating Fort Wayne 73-56. In that game, forward Macey Fegan recorded a double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds, while guard Colbi Maples erupted for a career-high 27 points. The Vikings’ inside presence will be key. Center Izabella Zingaro added 18 points and 11 rebounds against Fort Wayne, giving Cleveland State a potent frontcourt duo alongside Fegan. They will test a Green Bay defense that has held its last three opponents under 60 points. Green Bay’s offense runs efficiently through Guyer and guard Kamy Peppler, who dished out five assists against Youngstown State. The Phoenix have shown resilience in close games, with their last three wins coming by a combined 10 points. This matchup is the second of the regular-season series. In the first meeting, Green Bay’s defense forced 18 Cleveland State turnovers to secure the three-point win. The Vikings will need better ball security on their home floor to reverse that result. A Cleveland State victory would tighten the Horizon League race and solidify its seeding for the conference tournament. A Green Bay win would extend its commanding lead and sweep the season series. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST.
