About Tonight's Game...

The Phoenix are led in scoring by Kristy Loiselle (13.2 ppg), Chandra Johnson (12.0 ppg) and Dudley (10.6 ppg). Loiselle has also tallied 28 rebounds in five games, good for a 5.6 rebounds per game average to pace the team in that category as well. .
In 2002, UW-Green Bay participated in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Austin, Texas. The Phoenix ended up on the short end of a 60-55 score against the host Longhorns.
