Dec. 15, 2007
GREEN BAY, Wis. - The Green Bay women's basketball team (5-3) rebounded from its tough loss to Wisconsin with a stellar all-around performance Saturday as the Phoenix defeated Northern Arizona 79-27 in front of 2,117 fans at the Kress Center. The 52-point margin tied for fourth most in team history and set a team Division I record for margin of victory. It was also the fewest points allowed by the Phoenix since a 64-21 win against UNC Wilmington during the 1994-95 campaign. Rachel Porath just missed a career-high scoring a game-best 19 points, firing 8-of-10 from the field and was a perfect 3-3 from downtown. Kati Harty tallied 12 points and a career-best seven assists while Heather Golden tallied her first double-figure game of her career with 10 points. All 10 players that took the court for the Phoenix tallied at least four points and registered 13 minutes or more, while no one played more than 26 minutes. After trailing 3-2 early in the game, Green Bay rattled off an impressive 30-0 run to put the game out of reach early. Porath had 12 of her points in the first stanza, making all five of her field goal attempts. Northern Arizona (4-7) dropped their third straight game with the setback. Ashley Ingle led the Lumberjacks with eight points. Green Bay returns to action Thursday when it hosts Arizona at 7 p.m. at the Kress Center. |
