GREEN BAY --- An unconventional Senior Day was celebrated in style by the Green Bay women's basketball team on Saturday, dominating UIC for a second-straight day with a 70-45 win at the Kress Center. Seniors
Caitlyn Hibner,
Meghan Pingel and
Lyndsey Robson were honored after the game with congratulatory videos and gifts by teammates.
The Phoenix (12-4 HL) defense was back in store, holding the Flames (1-11 HL) to 27.9 percent (17-61) shooting and 18 turnovers. The 45 points are the fewest GB has allowed in a game this season, scoring 22 points off those 18 Flames' turnovers.
It was the senior Robson who led all scorers with 16 points, on a perfect 3-for-3 effort from long range and 6-for-8 overall from the field. Hibner (nine points) and Pingel (eight points) also helped in the home win, with Hibner racking up 12 rebounds, four assists and four steals. Pingel had six assists and three steals.
Freshman
Jasmine Kondrakiewicz followed up her solid performance Friday with another great game. Kondrakiewicz finished with 12 points and six rebounds, finishing 5-for-9 from the field. Also adding 12 points was
Hailey Oskey, who knocked down a pair of 3s and had three assists.
UIC led 5-4 early in the first quarter and never led again. GB led for almost 38 minutes and enjoyed its best run in the fourth quarter, going on a 13-0 explosion to bury the Flames. The Phoenix also dominated in the paint, holding a 34-12 advantage.
Brooklyn Blackburn added six points, four rebounds and four steals off the bench.
The Flames were led by Lindsey Rogers with 15 points and Keona Schenck with 11 points.
Green Bay will wrap up its regular season with a lot on the line next weekend. GB will visit Wright State, who entered the week leading the current Horizon League seeding. The Phoenix entered the week at No. 3.
