GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Freshman Alec Brown's (Winona, Minn.) eight blocks were one of two school records set in Green Bay's 72-68 victory over North Dakota on Monday night at the Resch Center. Brown's block total helped the Phoenix swat away 10 shots in the game, also setting a school record as a team.

Brown was one of the major reasons that Green Bay rallied past North Dakota despite trailing by 12 points in the second half. The 7-foot-1 freshman also scored a career-high 19 points, hitting 4-of-8 shots from the field and connecting on 10-of-13 free throws.

"I think Alec Brown is coming out of his shell a little bit right now. He is one of our most consistent players on the team," said head coach Brian Wardle. "I know what I am getting from him every night we play, and tonight was a game where he built on his Wisconsin game (18 points last Monday)."
