To the leaders go the spoils and the Horizon League honored two Green Bay Phoenix players as their conference players of the week. Natalie McNeal picked up her first Horizon League Women’s Player of the week award by delivering a pair of double-doubles for the Phoenix ladies last weekend. She scored 12 points and pulled down 16 rebounds in a win over Northern Kentucky and topped that with a 26 point, 15 rebound effort in another victory over IUPUI on Saturday that keeps the Green Bay women with a share of the conference lead at 12-2, they are 19-5 overall. The Phoenix women will be at Robert Morris on Thursday.
Preston Ruedinger captured his first Horizon League Men’s Player of the Week honor by leading the Phoenix to a pair of impressive road victories. He scored 16 in an overtime win at Robert Morris and then put up a career high 26 against Youngstown State that kept GB alone atop the conference race. The Phoenix are 17-9 on the year, 10-3 in the Horizon, good for a one game lead over Oakland. GB returns home for their final home game of the year at the Resch Center Wednesday night hosting Northern Kentucky at 6:00 PM.
