Green Bay Wins Share of 12th Consecutive Conference Title

GREEN BAY, Wis. - The Green Bay (25-3, 14-3) women's basketball team won at least a share of their 12th consecutive regular season conference title by defeating Youngstown State (0-28, 0-17) 84-45.

"It's really a sense of pride to be part of something special here at Green Bay; everyone on this team knows how important the winning tradition is," said Kayla Tetschlag (Sheboygan, Wis.) who finished with seven points.

Green Bay jumped out to an aggressive 14-0 lead and didn't miss a field goal until the 14:22 mark in the first half. The Phoenix finished the half shooting 66.7 percent, building their largest halftime lead of the season (50-15).

Junior Heather Golden (De Pere, Wis.) led all scorers with 15 points shooting a perfect 6-6 from the field and 3-3 from three-point range, "I just felt really confident and relaxed tonight as opposed to being so tense," said Golden.

Four players scored in double figures for the Phoenix including freshman Sarah Eichler (Grafton, Wis.) who had a career high 14 while Morgan Faase (Green Bay Wis.) also had a career high 13 points in 14 minutes of play.

"I was so thrilled for Morgan, she's got such a great spirit and I told her earlier this week everyone contributes to this team's success so it was really great to see her have such a great game tonight," said head coach Matt Bollant.

Celeste Hoewisch (Hortonville, Wis.) also chipped in 10 points and led all players with five assists and three steals. In addition, as a team Green Bay set a Kress Center record with 25 assists.

Green Bay will wrap up their regular season Saturday as they host Cleveland State at 2 p.m.  The Phoenix will remain at home for the Speedway Horizon League Championship which tips off with a quarterfinal game at 7:00 Wednesday, March 10. Semifinal action will be held Friday, March 12 at 5:30 and 8:00 with Sunday's championship game at noon.
