CLEVELAND - Despite 21 points from Hillary Offing, Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball fell at Cleveland State 73-56 on Saturday afternoon (Feb. 7).

Offing, who had previously not scored more than six in a Mastodon uniform, exploded for 21 points on 8-of-11 shooting and a 5-for-6 effort from the free throw line. She had 19 of the 21 points after the first quarter.

Early on, the Mastodons were paced by Jordan Reid, who scored all 12 of her points in the first half. She also had all three of her steals in the first 20. She finished with three assists, all of which came in the second half.

For the second game in a row, though, it was a singularly great performance on the other side of the ball that set the 'Dons back. Colbi Maples, the Horizon League Preseason Player of the Year, went off for 27 points, her most since the season opener.

CSU jumped out to an 11-6 lead, but Purdue Fort Wayne clawed back with a 10-0 run to lead 16-11. Four different 'Dons scored in the push, led by four points from Alana Nelson. The Mastodons did not trail the rest of the half, taking a two-point lead into the locker room for halftime.

The Vikings answered out of the break with an 8-2 run behind five from Izabella Zingaro. She finished with 18 thanks to eight free throws. From that point, the Mastodons never reclaimed the lead. Midway through the third, Offing went on a 4-0 run by herself to cut the lead to three, but CSU pushed the lead back to eight by the end of the quarter.

Thanks to Offing's 20, the 'Dons out-scored CSU 20-8 in bench points, but the Vikings led 20-8 in fast break points.

Purdue Fort Wayne fell to 15-10 and 9-6 in Horizon League play. The Vikings improved to 18-8 and 8-7 in the HL. Purdue Fort Wayne will hit the road again next week with a trip to Detroit Mercy on Saturday (Feb. 14).
