UWGB takes first "Battle of I-43"

After watching the men defeat Milwaukee earlier this month, the women continued the trend taking the teams' first matchup this season 76-61 at Milwaukee. Green Bay started slow on the road Saturday trailing 17-10 after the first quarter, but responded in the second to carry a 27-24 lead into halftime. The Panthers brought the game within a point going into the final quarter when Green Bay decided to put them away for good, outscoring UWM 29-15 on their way to the 15-point win. UW-Green Bay struggled from the floor for the first two quarters, but broke it open in the fourth shooting 67% on 10-15 from the field. Meghan Schultz led the Phoenix, and all scorers, with 20 points and 6 rebounds. Jenna Guyer cleaned up the paint and the boards adding another double-double with 15 and 10 rebounds. Milwaukee's Madison Fitzgibbon finished with 19, but the Panthers had 18 turnovers that the Phoenix turned into 25 points ultimately helping them to another victory. Green Bay (15-5, 10-0) returns home for the rest of January with Oakland coming to the Kress Center Thursday for a 6 p.m. tip.
