Sad day in Green Bay: the no. 23 Phoenix fall to Youngstown State. UWGB's first loss since Dec. 11 is their first conference loss, second home loss this year, first home Horizon League loss in 56 games.

Green Bay lead the nation in fewest team fouls per game (12.6); today they committed 18. The Phoenix shoot almost 39% from downtown; yesterday they shot 4-18 (.211), with no threes till about six minutes remained. The Penguins, by contrast, made 10 of 18 from long range. UWGB cut the lead from 8 to 3 with 16 seconds left, but Tiffany Mor-- who had hit Green Bay's first three-pointer-- missed her last attempt. Green Bay's energetic radio announcer had trouble believing what he saw.

Last time these teams met, Green Bay had to come from behind, and only Mor’s free throws with 2.8 seconds left gave the Phoenix the win; coach Kevin Borseth remarked “how difficult it is to score” against YSU.

But Youngstown (10-15, 4-10) had never beaten the Phoenix before, and won't even contend for their conference title; UWGB may need to win their tournament to return to the Dance after all.
