ASHWAUBENON, Wis. (Interstat) — The Green Bay Phoenix used a dominant second-quarter surge to seize control and never looked back, defeating the Robert Morris Colonials 64-43 in a Horizon League women’s basketball game Sunday afternoon at the Resch Center.

A crowd of 1,642 watched as the Phoenix improved to 11-5 overall, while the Colonials fell to 10-4.

The game’s decisive stretch came in the second period. After a sluggish first quarter that ended with Green Bay leading 10-6, the Phoenix erupted for a 22-point second quarter while holding Robert Morris to just four points. That 22-4 frame transformed a narrow four-point lead into a commanding 32-10 halftime advantage. The Colonials, who shot just 16 of 55 from the field for the game, could not overcome the offensive drought and a first half in which they committed nine turnovers leading to 10 Green Bay points.

Jenna Guyer led all scorers with 19 points for Green Bay, including three 3-pointers. Maddy Skorupski added 11 points, six rebounds and two assists, providing a key spark during the pivotal first-half run. The Phoenix also benefited from a significant advantage at the free-throw line, making 15 of 18 attempts compared to Robert Morris’ 7 of 11.

Robert Morris showed signs of life after halftime, outscoring Green Bay 17-21 in the third quarter behind 13 points from guard Noa Givon, who finished as the Colonials’ high scorer. But the Phoenix answered every attempt at a rally, maintaining at least a 16-point cushion throughout the second half. Green Bay’s defense was relentless, forcing 15 turnovers and converting them into 14 points, while also holding a 34-20 advantage in points in the paint.

Myriam Traore contributed seven points and seven rebounds for Robert Morris, which entered the game on a three-game winning streak. Green Bay’s balanced attack saw Carley Duffney score eight points off the bench, and Meghan Schultz added six points, four rebounds and three assists.

The most important part of the game was Green Bay’s overwhelming second-quarter performance, which established an insurmountable lead. The Phoenix opened the period with a 13-4 run in the first five minutes, capped by consecutive 3-pointers from Guyer. The defensive pressure intensified, forcing multiple Robert Morris turnovers that led directly to transition baskets. By the time the halftime buzzer sounded, the Colonials had been held to 2-of-12 shooting in the quarter and found themselves in a 22-point hole from which they could not recover.

Green Bay next travels to face Oakland on Thursday. Robert Morris returns home to host Fort Wayne on the same night.

Interstat’s ELO system had projected Green Bay with a 95.70 percent probability to win.
