For nearly 40 minutes on Saturday afternoon's Mid-American Conference West division showdown against Western Michigan, Cassie Breen wasn't playing like Cassie Breen.

Averaging 12.4 points per game, the senior poses a constant threat on the perimeter, but as the fourth quarter slowly ticked away, Breen had yet to record a single point with 0-8 shooting from the field.

It took all of 54 seconds to erase that.

Down 66-68 with under a minute to play in the game, Breen launched her fourth three point attempt of the night and drained it to go ahead by a point, a lead WMU wouldn't manage to take back as CMU defeated its in-state rival 74-70.
