INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- No. 13/11 Green Bay  will continue its journey in the NCAA tournament as it has advanced to the second round for the second consecutive season.

Senior Kayla Testschlag led the Phoenix to a 59-55 win over 12th seeded Arkansas-Little Rock (23-8) on Sunday at INTRUST Bank arena in Wichita, Kan.

Tetschlag scored 14 of her 24 points in the second half and grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds to give fifth-seeded Green Bay (33-1) at least one more day in the big dance.

The co-Horizon League Player of the Year is now averaging 20.1 points per game in four career NCAA tournament games.

And as it always is with the Phoenix, four other players contributed to the win as Julie Wojta had 14 points and 5 rebounds, Sarah Eichler had 9 points, and Celeste Hoewisch and Adrian Ritchie chipped in with six points apiece leading Green Bay to its 24th straight victory.

The Phoenix will now face Michigan State at 9:40 pm ET on Tuesday. The Spartans, the fourth seed in the Dallas Region, defeated 13th-seeded Northern Iowa 69-66 on Sunday evening.
