VICTORIA, B.C. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) --- The Green Bay women's basketball team took the court at the University of Victoria in game one of the Greater Victoria Invitational on Thanksgiving Day against Bowling Green, handedly defeating the Falcons 73-54.
 
Green Bay grabbed an early lead in the matchup, but a 6-0 run from the Falcons knotted the game at 11-all. Back-to-back and-1s from Madison Wolf and Lyndsey Robson followed by a layup from Anna Dier sent the Phoenix into the second frame on an 8-0 run, leading 19-11.
 
The Phoenix advantage reached double digits, 24-13, when Patricia Gallasova buried a jumper on her first possession of the game with 6:45 remaining in the first half. Back-and-forth action in the final minutes, including a BGSU conversion on its final attempt from the floor sent Green Bay to the locker room with a 35-25 lead.
