INDIANAPOLIS- Horizon League women's basketball will make its final 2005 regular-season television appearance on Thursday, Feb. 24. The game matches UW-Green Bay (22-3, 13-1), the top team in the Horizon League, against UW-Milwaukee (14-11, 11-3) which currently occupies second place. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT) at the Phoenix Sports Center in Green Bay, Wis. The game will air live on FSN North.

The Phoenix recently suffered its first Horizon League loss of the season as Youngstown State (10-15, 4-10) defeated the then-No. 23 Phoenix 60-56 on Feb. 19. The loss marked the end of a 16-game win streak as well as a 55-game home winning streak against Horizon League opponents. Tiffany Mor leads the League in scoring as she has registered 16.4 points per game and has averaged six rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game.

UW-Milwaukee is currently on a three-game winning streak. The Panthers are led by Nichole Drummond, who is averaging 13.7 points per game to go along with 5.6 rebounds. UWM also features the Horizon League Player of the Week Megan Rogers, who averaged 18 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game last week to lead the Panthers to League victories over UIC and Loyola. The last meeting between the two teams occurred on Dec. 30 and ended in a 63-46 UW-Green Bay victory. The Phoenix leads the series 39-15 all time.
