Whitney Lewis tied the game at 7-7 with a three-pointer three minutes into the game, but CSU followed with a 9-0 run, five of those from Kailey Klein, to go back in front.

Two Lewis foul shots again brought the Raiders to within two at 34-32 with 19:23 left and the margin was only 40-36 until the Vikings had a 9-2 run, including two Brittany Korth threes, to go up 49-38.

Wright State could get no closer than seven the rest of the way as Cleveland State broke the game open with a 9-0 burst to make it 64-48 with 3:41 to play.

The Raiders shot 48 percent overall, but the Vikings hit for 55 percent and were 17 of 21 from the foul line to just six of eight for Wright State. Cleveland State also forced 25 turnovers while committing 23, resulting in a 35-20 advantage in points off of turnovers.
