GREEN BAY, Wis. - The No. 18/18 Green Bay women's basketball team (14-0, 3-0 Horizon League) cruised past the Wright State Raiders (4-8, 0-2) Thursday night at the Kress Center to remain one of just five unbeaten teams in the nation. The Phoenix forced 30 Wright State turnovers and shot better than 50 percent from the floor (26 for 51) in the rout.

Green Bay has now won 32 consecutive regular-season games overall and 38 straight Horizon League regular-season contests. In addition, the Phoenix improved to 42-3 all time against Wright State.

Green Bay scored 14 seconds into the contest and never lost the lead in the wire-to-wire win. On top 8-6, the Phoenix used a 9-0 spurt over the next 2 ½ minutes to take a 17-6 advantage nine minutes into the contest.

The Phoenix held a 32-17 lead at intermission after a 3-pointer by Hannah Quilling (Eau Claire, Wis.) just prior to the horn. Green Bay expanded its advantage to 30 (64-34) with 4:26 remaining in the game.

Green Bay's Julie Wojta (Francis Creek, Wis.) was a perfect 10 of 10 from the floor, including one 3-pointer, en route to 21 points to pace all scorers. Celeste Hoewisch (Hortonville, Wis.) totaled 14 points and a team-best six rebounds, while Kayla Tetschlag (Sheboygan, Wis.) also reached double figures with 10.

LaShawna Thomas topped Wright State with 15 points.
