Phoenix Fast Fact: Kayla Groh, who is on target to challenge for Green Bay's record for career free throw percentage, is currently ranked 25th in the nation from the stripe, firing 90.5 percent on 19-of-21 shooting.

Scouting Green Bay: Green Bay could not hold off a strong defensive effort by Wisconsin Tuesday night as the Phoenix dropped an 81-58 result to the Badgers at the Kohl Center. Kayla Groh led the Phoenix with 13 points, all in the second half. Green Bay's Rachel Porath had nine points, all in the first half. Green Bay committed an uncharacteristic 16 first half turnovers and finished with 23 miscues on the night.

After struggling at the free throw line in three straight home games, Green Bay found its comfort zone at the line against Wisconsin Dec. 11. The Phoenix fired 84.6 percent at the line on 22-of-26 shooting, including a near-perfect 9-of-10 mark in the first half. Erin Templin and Kayla Groh led the way, converting on all four of their attempts. In four road games this year, Green Bay has shot 77.5 percent from the free throw line.

Scouting Northern Arizona: The Lumberjacks are on a two-game slide after a road loss to Arizona Dec. 6 and a home setback to Utah State Dec. 8. Against Utah State, Northern Arizona got a pair of double-doubles, as Ashley Ingle had 14 points and 12 rebounds while Laura Dinkins added 11 points and 12 caroms. Despite their efforts, NAU lost 65-51.

Green Bay's series with Northern Arizona is a short one, as the Phoenix won the first-ever meeting between the two teams last season. Green Bay defeated the Lumberjacks 75-64 in the title game of NAU's LaQuinta Inn Thanksgiving Tournament in Flagstaff, Ariz.
