The Green Bay Phoenix women's basketball team will visit the Motor City for its first two of three games on the road, starting Thursday at Oakland.
In their 71-39 win last Saturday, the Phoenix women trailed 15-13 after the first quarter, but they allowed nine total points over the next two quarters en route to their 14th straight win. The Phoenix overcame a slow start to shoot over 50 percent from the field and 43 percent from behind the arc in the game. Thanks to four three-pointers, Maddy Schreiber paced the Phoenix with 18 points off the bench. Three other Phoenix players reached double figures, Natalie McNeal scoring 13 points, Luxemburg-Casco's Cassie Schiltz chipping in 12 points, and Bailey Butler adding another 11 points.
The Golden Grizzlies have lost five of their last six games, which includes a 69-39 loss to the Phoenix on January 18th.
The two teams play at 6 p.m. on Thursday with the Phoenix wrapping up their Michigan residency with a noon tip against Detroit Mercy on Saturday.
