Second-Half Heartbreak As Panthers Fall To North Dakota-- Box Score
GRAND FORKS, N.D. - Senior Ashley Green scored 30 points and junior Jaleesa Armstrong added 23 but the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women's basketball team could not convert a big halftime lead into victory, falling to the University of North Dakota, 83-76, Tuesday evening at the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center.
"I told the team before the game that this would be a statement win for our program to be able to beat an NCAA-Tournament team like North Dakota," Milwaukee head coach Kyle Rechlicz said. "We shot the ball extremely well in the first half but we struggled to keep them out of the paint. We have to build off of this and we know we can do it. If our players can lock into being that first-half team we saw tonight – that confident team – then we are going to have a great year." Read more
