Schreiber Paces Green Bay to 14th Consecutive Win

GREEN BAY – The win streak extended to 14 for the Green Bay women's basketball team on Saturday afternoon. Green Bay defeated Robert Morris 71-39 in front of nearly 2,000 strong at the Kress Center.

 

Maddy Schreiber was sharp for the Phoenix (21-5, 14-1 HL), scoring 18 points off the bench. She shot 7-of-13 overall and grabbed a team-high six rebounds. Natalie McNeal added 13, Cassie Schiltz tallied 12, and Bailey Butler tacked on another 11 points for Green Bay.

 

Robert Morris (10-14, 6-9 HL) finished with nobody in double figures. Isys Grady and Jennica Suggs each had a team-high six points for the Colonials. RMU's 39 points tied for the fewest Green Bay has given up all season (vs. Parkside on 12/21/24 and vs. Oakland on 1/18/25)

 

 

The Green and White got off to a slow start in the opening 10 minutes, shooting just 4-of-12 as a team. Schiltz and McNeal were a key part of the quarter, combining for eight points as Green Bay trailed 15-13 going into the second quarter. The second frame was the difference-maker in the entire contest. Green Bay outscored RMU 24-3 in the stanza, holding the Colonials to just 1-of-6 from the floor. Schreiber caught fire on offense, knocking down three triples and racking up 11 points in the frame. Maddy had 14 points at the break as Green Bay went into the locker room leading comfortably, 37-18.

 

Green Bay continued its dominance out of the break. Butler splashed a three with 7:35 to go in the third period, extending Green Bay's lead to 42-20. Her triple also capped an extended 34-7 run that spanned from the end of the first quarter until midway through the third stanza. The Green and White kept piling on, as a Schreiber layup ballooned the lead to 61-24 by the end of the third quarter. Green Bay held RMU to just six points in the third period, three of which came via the charity stripe. The Phoenix led by at least 32 for the entire fourth quarter, which ended up being the difference on the scoreboard in the 71-39 win over Robert Morris.
