ST PETERSBURG, FL.- Sophomore guard Gemima Motema tallied a team-high 14 points, but long-range offense was the difference as the Northeastern women's basketball team (2-4) fell to UW Green Bay (3-2), by a score of 56-46, on Friday afternoon at the McArthur Center.

• Northeastern closed the quarter on another 7-0 run, highlighted by a three from sophomore guard Camille Clement, and led 33-31.
