Box Score

MILWAUKEE, WI- The Wright State women's basketball team dropped a back-and-forth battle on the road at Milwaukee Saturday afternoon by a score of 70-75.

Wright State (6-16, 2-9 HL) will return home to the Nutter Center on Thursday, February 5, to face Purdue Fort Wayne. Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m.

Three Raiders finished in double figures, led by Claire Henson with 13 points and a team-high six rebounds. Joining Henson in double figures were Rylee Sagester with 12 points and Lauren Scott with 10 points. Breezie Williams was orchestrating the Wright State offense from her point guard position, dishing out a game-high eight assists.

Milwaukee started the game hot, opening with an 11-0 run, before Sagester got the Raiders on the board with a three-pointer. Makenzie Drout led the Raiders in scoring after the first five minutes, scoring five early points in her home state.

Wright State would almost erase an 11-point Milwaukee lead in the back half of the second quarter. The Raiders would end the first half on a 15-5 run that included four three pointers and an and-one opportunity. Rager, Henson, Drout, and Sagester would all connect from deep, and Henson would connect on the layup and-one opportunity.

Grace Okih would score the first bucket of the second half and give the Raiders their first lead of the afternoon. The two squads would exchange buckets and leads with six lead changes in the third quarter alone. The Raiders shot a perfect 3-3 from beyond the arc in the period to keep pace with the Panthers. Wright State got a chance to inbound the ball with 1.6 seconds remaining, and Scott found a cutting Williams, whose layup beat the buzzer to tie the game at 58 entering the fourth quarter.

Wright State and Milwaukee battled back and forth before the Panthers went on a 7-0 run across five minutes to take the lead and not look back.

Jorey Bulwalda led the Panthers with 17 points and a game-high eight rebounds. Madison Fitzgibbon (14) and Grace Lomen (10) also finished in double-digits for Milwaukee.

In the box score, Wright State led Milwaukee in rebounds (35-31), second chance points (6-4), fast break points (5-3), and bench points (27-21). The Raiders knocked down 12 three-pointers on 37.5% shooting, their highest number of made threes since knocking down 18 against Wilberforce.
