YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) Jessica Lindstrom scored 19 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, and the No. 24 Green Bay women won its 10th straight game, and ninth straight to open Horizon League play, by pummeling Youngstown State 84-51 on Thursday night.

Green Bay (18-2, 9-0) blew the game open with a dominant second quarter in which the Phoenix outscored Youngstown State 22-5 after the Penguins took a 19-18 lead after one quarter.

Mehryn Kraker had 17 points and grabbed six boards for Green Bay.

Alison Smolinski and Melinda Trimmer each had 10 points for Youngstown State (7-13, 3-6).
