Green Bay Aims to Extend Win Streak Against Struggling IU Indy INDIANAPOLIS (Interstat) — A surging Green Bay women’s basketball team will look to continue its Horizon League momentum when it visits a struggling IU Indy squad on Wednesday night at Fairgrounds Coliseum. The Phoenix (7-3) enter having won three of their last four, including a 56-47 home victory over Youngstown State on Sunday. Green Bay’s defense has been a hallmark, holding opponents to 60 points or fewer in six of its seven wins. IU Indy (3-6) seeks to halt a three-game skid, most recently a 74-69 loss at Detroit on Sunday. The Jaguars have struggled defensively, allowing an average of 74.2 points during their losing streak. A key matchup will feature Green Bay’s Meghan Schultz against IU Indy’s Hailey Smith. Schultz, a consistent offensive force, is coming off a 22-point, 8-rebound performance against Youngstown State and has scored in double figures in seven of nine games. Smith provides all-around play for the Jaguars, averaging 9.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, including a 12-point, 6-rebound, 6-assist outing at Marshall on Nov. 23. Green Bay’s recent success has been bolstered by contributions beyond Schultz. Maddy Skorupski added 10 points and five rebounds Sunday, while Gracie Grzesk scored 11 points. The Phoenix have shown resilience in close games, with three wins by six points or fewer. IU Indy will rely on Sydney Bolden, who scored a team-high 15 points off the bench against Detroit, and Camron Blank, who added 11 points. The Jaguars’ offense will need to find consistency against a disciplined Green Bay defense. This contest opens a critical two-game homestand for IU Indy before a break for finals. Green Bay continues a road swing that sees them travel to Washington on Saturday. Wednesday’s tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST at Fairgrounds Coliseum.
