Tech women fall to UWGB in exhibition

GREEN BAY — The Michigan Tech women’s basketball team battled NCAA Division I University of Wisconsin-Green Bay in an exhibition game Thursday night on the road. The Huskies fell 87-49, but held their own against one of the top NCAA Division I teams in the country.

“I was really proud of a lot of different things throughout this game tonight,” Michigan Tech head coach Kim Cameron said. “I thought we competed hard the entire night. We tied them in offensive rebounding, we played even with them through the majority of the fourth quarter, scored double-digit points in three of the four quarters, and limited our turnovers to five in the second half. These are some of the positives we can take out this game tonight as we move forward. There are some things we need to work on and we will do that, but our players worked hard and showed a lot of competitiveness tonight.”

Brenna Heise led all scorers with 16 points while grabbing six rebounds in addition to two blocked shots. Kelli Guy followed by pouring in 15 points, two assists, and two steals with a strong second half. Winter chipped in with five points and dished out four assists in the contest. As a team, the Huskies were 19 of 57 from the field and 10 for 33 from behind 3.

The Huskies will tip-off the regular season Friday, Nov. 10 against Davis & Elkins in Pepper Pike, Ohio. The Huskies are ranked 21st in the WBCA NCAA Division II Preseason Top 25 Poll and are coming off a 20-8 season in 2016-17. Friday’s tip-off is slated for 3 p.m.
