Boxscore vs. Green Bay

MADISON, Wis. – In-state rival UW-Green Bay came ready to play Wednesday night, downing the Wisconsin women's basketball team, 67-34, in the Kohl Center.

The Phoenix shot 50 percent (25-50) from the field while the Badgers never hit their stride, shooting 26.9 percent (14-52) from the field and getting out-rebounded 37-31.

Wisconsin was led by Marsha Howard, putting up 13 points while adding a team-high eight rebounds. The 5-10 forward also added two assists and two steals. The Badgers went 0-16 from behind the 3-point line, a strength of the team in their opener, and shot just 40 percent (6-15) from the free-throw line.

UW matched Green Bay in both turnovers (18) and steals (8), but could not match the Phoenix offensive firepower.

Green Bay had three players in double figures and shot 45 percent (9-20) from 3-point range. The Phoenix were led by Caitlyn Hibner with 19 points and five rebounds.

Straight from the Court

"That was a Green Bay butt-kicking, plain and simple. I thought if you judged the game based on loose balls, second efforts, ability to bounce back after a play doesn't go your way, Green Bay owned the game. I know our team is able to compete better than that. Also, you should never go 0-for-16 from the three-point line. Even if you're a three-point shooting team, you have to find another way to score the basketball. But you have to credit Green Bay. You have to credit them on how they forced us to take shots. They had good ball pressure, they were very physical."
- Head Coach Jonathan Tsipis

Turning Point

Green Bay went on a 22-7 run in the last 7:33 of the third quarter that sealed the fate of the Badgers Wednesday night. The Phoenix outscored Wisconsin 28-11 in the period, including 11 points from Hibner.
