DAYTON, Ohio - The Green Bay (19-3, 8-3) women's basketball team picked up a much needed road win by beating Wright State (8-13, 4-7) 74-50 remaining in second place in the Horizon League standings.

Green Bay played with great defensive intensity throughout the first half holding the Raiders scoreless for over seven minutes as part of a 14-0 run.  

"It was obvious how much our defense dictates our offense and us coming out aggressive really helped," said Julie Wojta (Mishicot, Wis.) who led all scorers with 23 points and 10 rebounds.

The Phoenix held Wright State to 30 percent shooting in the first half while offensively Green Bay shot over 65 percent. Leading the charge in the first 20 minutes of play were Julie Wojta (Mishicot, Wis.) and Sarah Eichler (Grafton, Wis.) who each had 10 points giving Green Bay the 35-16 advantage at the break.

After a bit of a slow start in the second half, Green Bay regained its momentum building their lead to as many as 23. Wojta poured in 13 points in the half to finishing the game shooting 73 percent from the field putting up her fourth double-double of the season and her career.

"We all feed off each other when we get a stop, our teammates get excited for each other and that makes you just want to work harder," said Wojta.

Eichler finished the game with a career-high 13 points while Celeste Hoewisch (Hortonville, Wis.) had a career high seven steals.

Green Bay will have a week off to prepare for in-state rival Milwaukee who comes to the Kress Center next Saturday for the annual PinkZone game which tips off at 5:00 p.m.
