Cleveland,  Ohio -- A career game from Velissa Vaughn couldn't offset two Youngstown State scoring droughts in a 68-57 setback to Cleveland State on Saturday afternoon at the Wolstein Center.

Vaughn scored 27 points thanks to making 4-for-7 from behind the 3-point arc and 9-of-12 from the free throw line. Senior Chenara Wilson scored 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for Cleveland State in her final regular season home game.

YSU led by as many as 13 in the first half and held a three-point lead late in the second half before Cleveland State went on a 14-0 run.

With the loss YSU fell to 7-18 overall and 5-9 in the Horizon League while Cleveland State improved to 8-19 and 5-9.

Cleveland State lead by as many as seven in the second half before the Penguins took the lead 44-42 on a Vaughn 3-pointer with 9:14 remaining. Vaughn's basket at the 4:31 mark gave the Penguins a 55-52 advantage, but the Vikings held YSU without a field goal the rest of the way and scored 14 straight points.

YSU was held to 26.7 percent in the second half and 31.5 percent overall while CSU shot 36.7 percent. Cleveland State scored 20 points off of 17 YSU turnovers and got 30 bench points.

The Penguins scored the first nine points of the game and led by as many as 13 in the first half but eventually saw their lead diminish into a 30-25 deficit at halftime.

Vaughn's trey at the 17:01 mark capped the 9-0 start, and Anjalia Lyons hit a free throw with 12:22 remaining to give YSU its largest lead at 16-3.

The Penguins hit just shots from the floor the rest of the half and had a scoring drought of nearly six minutes.

Vaughn hit another 3-pointer with 9:58 left to put YSU up 21-9, but Cleveland State went on a 21-2 run over the next 9 1/2 minutes to go up 30-23 with 33 seconds remaining. Nikita LaFleur hit a layup with 13 seconds left to make the margin five at halftime.

The Penguins will stay on the road to finish out the regular season with games at Butler and Wright State. YSU will tipoff with Butler at 7 p.m. next Saturday.
