The Wright State women's basketball team will host #19 Green Bay Thursday at 4:30 pm before hosting Milwaukee Saturday at 1 pm to open the Horizon League portion of the schedule. Both games will be shown on ESPN3.
Wright State Raiders
The Raiders finished their difficult non-conference slate at 9-3 overall after winning at Belmont but falling at Georgia last week. Chelsea, the Horizon League preseason Player of the Year, leads the Raiders with her 21.3 points and 5.2 assists per game averages. She was named the League's Player of the Week for the second time this year after scoring 29 at Belmont and 25 at Georgia. Mackenzie Taylor (11.6) and Emily Vogelpohl (10.8) also average in double figures for the Raiders. The other two Wright State starters Symone Simmons (7.9) and Lexi Smith (7.1) lead the team in rebounding.
#19 Green Bay Phoenix
The Phoenix are currently 10-1 and ranked 19th nationally in this week's poll as well as first in the Mid-Major Poll. GB has won five straight with its lone loss of the season against #3 Mississippi State. Jessica Lindstrom leads the Phoenix at 14.5 points and 9.3 rebounds a game. Allie LaClaire averages 12.7 points per game. Green Bay was picked to win the League title as Lindstrom and LaClaire were named to the preseason teams. Wright State will play at Green Bay on February 3.Â
Milwaukee Panthers
The Panthers will start the Horizon League schedule at Northern Kentucky Thursday with a 9-3 overall record before coming to Dayton Saturday. The Panthers were ranked 25th in last week's Mid-Major Poll and won nine of the last ten games, including a 67-64 win at Wisconsin. Steph Kostowicz leads the team with averages of 16.6 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. Jenny Lindner (12.3) and Bailey Farley (11.1) also average double-figure scoring for UWM. Milwaukee was picked to finish fourth in the Horizon League while Kostowicz was named to the preseason first team. The Raiders will visit Milwaukee on February 1.
