GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The No. 17/13 Green Bay (27-1, 16-0 HL) women's basketball team dominated Butler (17-12, 11-6 HL) with its inside game en route to a 93-57 win in front of a sold-out crowd of 4,018 at the Kress Events Center Saturday in its home court, regular-season finale. Green Bay's 27 wins are the most during a regular season in program history. The 93 points were a season-high by the Phoenix in its best offensive performance of the year.

"I can't remember a better offensive performance," said head coach Matt Bollant. "We took advantage of what they gave us and really worked the ball inside well."

Green Bay jumped out to an early 6-3 lead before Butler's Devin Brierly drained a three-pointer to tie it 8-8 at the 14:38 mark. The contest was tied three times throughout the first eight minutes of play before Green Bay opened up a 15-4 run sparked by a Kayla Tetschlag (Sheboygan, Wis.) jumper with 11:21 remaining in the half.

"We struggled in the beginning of the year putting teams away but we've gotten better since we played them (Butler) last," said Tetschlag. "We were in more control today and just played inspired basketball."

With four minutes remaining in the first half, Tetschlag had scored 14 points throughout 15 minutes of play before finishing with 16 in the half to lead all players. Green Bay led 41-23 at the break scoring 28 points in the paint while shooting 58 percent from the field, its second-highest of the season in first half action.

The Phoenix continued its dominance in the paint throughout the second half as Tetschlag and Julie Wojta (Mishicot, Wis.) combined for eight points throughout the first four minutes as Green Bay shot a perfect 100 percent from the field and the free-throw line, sinking 4-of-4 from each. "Kayla and Julie made it look easy the way they played inside with our offense."

While building its lead to as many as 42 with 3:13 to play, Wojta led all players scoring 13 points throughout 14 minutes of play throughout the second half before finishing with 19. Green Bay finished the half shooting an impressive season-high 70 percent from the field.

"We had a lot of players step up today and make shots and big plays," Bollant said. "We just did a lot of things right offensively today."

For the ninth time this season, four players scored in double figures for the Phoenix as Tetschlag led the way with a game-high 20 in addition to Wojta's 19. Sophomore Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) added 12 and Lydia Bauer (Lake Zurich, Ill.) 10, both entering the game off the bench. Ritchie also dished out a career-high eight assists and had three steals throughout 21 minutes of play, "I felt so good today not having to tape my ankle or think about it, I just felt like myself."

Green Bay finished the contest scoring a season-high 93 points, sinking 34 of its 53 field-goal attempts. The 34 made field goals tied the Kress Center record while shooting a season-high 64-percent from the field. Its 36-point margin of victory was Green Bay's largest over Butler under the leadership of Bollant and the fourth time the Phoenix has beaten the Bulldogs by 36 or more points.

The Phoenix will wrap up its regular-season on the road when it travels to Wright State (17-9, 10-5 HL) Thursday, March 3 followed by Detroit (11-15, 5-10 HL) Saturday, March 5. Green Bay will host a quarterfinal game of the 2011 Horizon League Championship at the Kress Events Center on Wednesday, March 9 at 7 p.m. With a victory that evening, Green Bay would then host the remainder of the championship with semifinals on Friday, March 11 and the championship game on Sunday, March 13.

PinkZone Frenzy... Saturday was Green Bay's annual PinkZone game in honor of cancer awareness. Throughout the month of February during the Coaches vs. Cancer and Saturday's PinkZone events, $21,961.19 has been raised for the Patient Assistance Fund at the Bellin Health Foundation in conjunction with Broadway Automotive.

Following Friday's practice the team met with seven-year-old Amelia Gorton who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of two. Gorton and her friend Savannah joined the Phoenix on the bench for Saturday's PinkZone game. "Amelia really puts into perspective what this game is all about," Tetschlag said. "Coach Leonhard reminded us that it's not just about the pink shoes, it's about the people who are fighting and I'm so glad Amelia got to join us on the bench today."

Farewell to the Class of 2011... Seniors Heather Golden (De Pere, Wis.), Celeste Hoewisch (Hortonville, Wis.) and Kayla Tetschlag (Sheboygan, Wis.) bid farewell and thanks to the fans for their support throughout the years. Hoewisch told the fans, her career and this season have been awesome, and they're not done yet. "It was such a special day," said Tetschlag. "This hasn't just been special and fun because of the success we've had but also because of the relationships we've built."

"As a coach, this is what you dream about on senior day," said Bollant. "We played a good rival with our great seniors in front of a packed gym. It was such a special day."

Record Day, the Phoenix Way... In addition to its record 4,018 sell-out crowd, Green Bay's 93 points set a new Kress Center record along with the 34-made field goals. Fans were so eager to see the Phoenix play, those that couldn't buy a seat were standing in the hallway watching the game through the glass windows.

Perhaps marketing director Adam Halfmann summed up Saturday's events best, "It was by far the best day in Phoenix land!"
