Milwaukee 90, Valparaiso 79
Panthers In Control In Claiming 90-79 Win Over Crusaders-- Box Score
MILWAUKEE - Senior Ashley Green poured in 31 points and junior Jordyn Swan netted a career-high 19 to lead the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women's basketball team to a 90-79 victory over Valparaiso University Wednesday evening at the Klotsche Center.
The Panthers (6-11, 2-3 Horizon League) used a 21-3 scoring run stretching between halves to take the lead against the Crusaders (4-14, 0-5 Horizon League) and were in control down the stretch, answering each run in finishing with a season-high 90 points on the day to earn the victory.
"Valpo is much better than their record shows. They have some incredible post players and when their guards are on, it makes them a very tough team to beat," UWM head coach Kyle Rechlicz said. "I credit the win to our captains for their leadership and also give a lot of credit to us for executing our offense, which was a huge focus for us coming into this week." Read more
Milwaukee Outlasts Crusaders, 90-79--Box Score
Lexi Miller (Caledonia, Mich./Caledonia) posted a career-high 21 points while Jessica Carr (Arcadia, Ind./Hamilton Heights) recorded a career-best 11 assists, but Milwaukee claimed a 90-79 shootout at the Klotsche Center on Wednesday evening behind Ashley Green's 31 points.
Scoring came early and often in a back-and-forth first stanza. Abby Dean (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) scored all seven of her points in the opening four-and-a-half minutes. She was 2-for-2 both from the field and the line. However, foul trouble limited her playing time the rest of the evening.
Miller dropped in 14 points in the first twenty minutes. She knocked down three treys in the first half - her final one with three seconds to go snapped a 15-0 Panther run. Read more
