Phoenix women welcome Blue Demons to Green Bay

The Green Bay Phoenix women's basketball team will try to make it three-straight on Thursday when they host the DePaul Blue Demons.

 

The Phoenix won their first two games of the season last week in nailbiting fashion. In Sunday's 66-63 win over the Fighting Eagles, the Phoenix women were able to grind out slim advantages in each of the final three quarters thanks to a balanced scoring attack and timely defense. Maddy Schreiber the Phoenix with 13 points, while Cassie Schiltz added another 12 points. Three players, Natalie McNeal, Jenna Guyer, and Bailey Butler, scored eight points apiece.

 

The Blue Demons have split their first four games as head coach Doug Bruno remains out of sight due to medical concerns. They are led by by Jorie Allen, who averaged 19.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals, and 1.5 blocks per game in a 1-1 week for the Blue Demons. She nearly had a double-double (16 points, eight rebounds) in their 75-60 win over local Chicago rival Loyola.

 

Tip off is set for 6 p.m.
