Phoenix women track down first league win

The Green Bay Phoenix women's basketball team earned its first Horizon League win of the season while it remains elusive for the men's squad.

 

In Oakland, the Phoenix needed an extra period to beat the Golden Grizzlies 78-76. Leading throughout the game, the Phoenix were outscored 24-13 in the fourth quarter en route to the overtime period. They would go on to hit four of their shots from the field and nearly hit all of their free throws to narrowly outscore the Golden Grizzlies in the final frame. Five Phoenix players scored in double figures, including 17 from Caitlyn Hibner.

 

In Youngstown, the Phoenix men fell short to the Penguins 84-77. The Phoenix were keeping pace with the Penguins until a run in the middle of the second half put the game out of reach. P.J. Pipes led all Phoenix players with 21 points while Amari Davis pitched in another 18 points. Naz Bohannon paced all scorers with 32 points  and 12 rebounds for the Penguins in the win.

 

It will be the same matchups on Sunday with the women playing at  noon and the men playing at 3 p.m.
