Green Bay Keeps Rolling with Win at Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE, Wis. - Julie Wojta (Mishicot, Wis.) had her third double-doubl e of the season scoring 20 points and 11 rebounds while Kayla Tetschlag (Sheboygan, Wis.) added 17 points as the No. 17/17 Phoenix remained unbeaten with a 74-53 victory over Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Saturday.

The Phoenix (16-0, 5-0) overcame a cold shooting first half to remain among four undefeated teams in Division I women's basketball. The win extended the school's Horizon League winning streak to 35 games and consecutive regular season game winning streak to 34.

Green Bay struggled shooting during the first half, at one point missing 10 straight from the field. In all, Green Bay hit just 12 of 29 shots in the first half.

"I didn't feel like we played great in the first half but we really finished strong and found a way to fight back and head into the locker room with a 10-point lead," said head coach Matt Bollant.

The Phoenix broke the game open at the beginning of the second half, using an 18-6 run to grab a 55-33 lead with 11:59 remaining. The Panthers got no closer than 16 the rest of the way, "I thought Julie grabbing those boards in the second half and finishing strong on the blocks was key for us," said Bollant.

"I'm pleased with our team, but there are a lot of things we need to get better at," added Bollant.

(6-10, 1-4) was led by Lindsay Laur with 17 points and Ashley Imperiale with 16.

This week Green Bay will head to Chicago for a pair of games. Thursday they will take on Loyola at 4:45 p.m. followed by UIC on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. The Phoenix will be back home at the Kress Center Thursday, Jan. 28 as they will host Butler at 7 p.m.
