UWGB s only loss of the year came at Marquette, 63-60, on Dec. 12. Green Bay beat three Big Ten teams in its non-conference schedule and opened league play with home wins over Detroit (69-62) and Wright State (75-57). The Phoenix is forcing 25 turnovers per game and leads the conference in scoring offense (72. ppg) and scoring defense (52.4 ppg). Julie Wojta is one of four players averaging at least 11 points, and Kayla Tetschlag is the Horizon League s Preseason Player of the Year. Last Game: L, at UIC UIC scored the fi nal 20 points of the fi rst half to offset a school-record-tying seven 3-pointers from Kenya Middlebrooks in a victory over YSU on Sunday. YSU led with 5:38 remaining before the Flames scored the fi nal 20 points of the half and the fi rst three of the second period. Shameia Green had 14 of her 32 points during the 23-point spurt. YSU was able cut the margin to nine twice in the second half after trailing by as many as 20. Middlebrooks fi nished with a career-high 22 points, going 7-for-10 from 3-point range. Brandi Brown fi nished with her second straight doubledouble, posting 17 points and 15 rebounds. UIC shot 50 percent for the contest while YSU shot 35.7 percent. Quick Notes from UIC YSU led with 5:34 remaining in the fi rst period after going on a 12-3 run. UIC scored the next 23 points to take a advantage. Kenya Middlebrooks scored a career-high 22 points and tied the school record with seven 3-pointers. Brandi Brown posted her sixth double-double of the year and her third in the last four games. Monica Touvelle played a career-high 24 minutes. YSU made at least 10 3-pointers for the third time this year. The last time the Guins had 10-or-more treys three times in a season was The Penguins were outscored in the paint, including 18-2 in the fi rst half. Last Time vs. Green Bay Green Bay made its fi rst eight shots and never looked back as it defeated YSU on March 4, 2010 to clinch at least a share of its 12th straight conference championship. Green Bay took a 14-0 lead when Heather Golden hit a 3-pointer with 16:48 remaining. The Penguins kept things within arms reach and trailed with 11:12 left but went without another fi eld goal for more than nine minutes. The Phoenix led by the time YSU made another basket and went up at halftime. A win would... Snap YSU s eight-game losing streak. Give YSU its third win this season, equalling the win total of the past two seasons combined. Improve YSU to 3-2 at home Give Bob Boldon his fi rst league victory Be YSU s fi rst against a ranked team since beating No. 23 Green Bay on Feb. 13, 2005 Green Bay outscored YSU just in the second half as the Penguins shot 53.3 percent in the period. Green Bay shot 54 percent overall and 42.4 percent in the second half as substitutes played most of the fi nal 15 minutes. Why 2-11 is Still Encouraging Although Youngstown State would like to have more than two wins at this juncture, it s hard to ignore the improvements that the Penguins have made from last year s 0-30 season. Most notably, YSU has shrunk the scoring margin from 25.8 points per game last year to 13.5 this year. The Penguins are averaging 6.6 more points and allowing 5.8 fewer points. Opponents are shooting 5.3 percent worse from the fl oor. The Penguins lost by at least 20 seven times in their fi rst 13 games last year. They ve done that just three times this year. YSU is committing 2.2 fewer turnovers and forcing 2.7 more per contest. YSU led Western Michigan by 24 and Winthrop by 14 in the second half in losses. What Happened in the 20-0 Run? Without question, the turning point of Sunday s game at UIC was the 20-0 run that the Flames went on to close the fi rst half. Prior to the run, YSU led and had just completed a 12-3 bulge. UIC called a 30-second timeout to regroup and proceeded to make nine straight shots six lay-ups, two 3-pointers and a jumper. In the meantime, during YSU s nine possessions during the run, the Penguins missed fi ve 3-pointers and a jumper and committed four turnovers. UIC also scored the fi rst three points of the second half to extend the run to Schedule Jan. 3-9 Monday (3) Tuesday (4) Wednesday (5) Thursday (6) Friday (7) Saturday (8) Sunday (9) Noon - Lift 9:30 a.m. - Practice 9:30 a.m. - Practice TBA - Shootaround 2 p.m. - Practice TBA - Shootaround 7 p.m. - Practice 2:40 p.m. Press Conference Beeghly Room p.m. - Practice 7:05 p.m. GAME #14 vs. GREEN BAY Postgame Rm 103 Audio WKBN Video - MyYTV and HLN 1:05 p.m. GAME #15 vs. MILWAUKEE Postgame Rm 103 Audio WKBN Video - MyYTV and HLN

The Penguins have had scoring droughts lasting at least 3-½ minutes in each of their fi rst 13 games, and they ve gone scoreless for more than 5:20 six times. The longest drought lasted 11:35 in the fi rst half at Kent State as the Golden Flashes scored 25 straight points. Field Goal Dry Spells YSU has been particularly been doomed by lengthy dry spells from the fi eld this year. The Guins have gone without a fi eld goal for more than four minutes in every contest, and they ve faced droughts of more than 6:25 in eight games. In those eight contests, YSU was either in the lead or within three points at the start of the fi eld goal drought. The Guins ended up losing each of those games. YSU was tied at Pitt, up seven at Kent State, down three at American, up one against Akron, up 13 against Winthrop, up one at Loyola and up six at UIC. Penguins Happy to Be Home Youngstown State has played just one home game since it won back-to-back contests on Nov. 24 and Nov. 27. Since then, the Guins have played seven out of eight games on the road. YSU has been a much better team at home than on the road. The Guins shoot 6.5 percent better at Beeghly Center than on the road and average 9.9 more points. The most notable difference is second-half scoring. YSU is averaging 38.8 points in the second half at home and 24 on the road. NUMERICAL ROSTER / PRONUNCIATIONS Home Road Points/game Opponents nd Half points/game Shooting 35.7 % 29.2 % Middlebrooks Ties School Record En Route to Career-High in Scoring Junior Kenya Middlebrooks is coming off scoring a career-best 22 points in YSU s last game at UIC on Sunday. Middlebrooks tied the school record for 3-pointers in a game with seven, and she added a free throw. Middlebrooks had set career highs of 16 points and 18 points the previous two times she played against UIC. Middlebrooks became the ninth player in school history to post seven treys in a contest. The other eight, listed from most recent to oldest, are: Kaitlyn March (2010), Kristy Gaudiose (2006), Barb Fabianova (2005), Devin Novak (2003), Leslie Majewski (2000 and 1999), Shannon Beach (1997), Caroline McCombs (1997) and Dianne Rappach (1989). Three With Double-Doubles Three Youngstown State players have posted a double-double at some point this season. That is tied for the Horizon League high with Cleveland State, Green Bay and Wright State. YSU sophomore forward Brandi Brown leads all league players with six double-doubles. She has 19 double-doubles in her 43-game career and three in the past four contests. Bojana Dimitrov and Tieara Jones both have one apiece. Brown and Jones each had a double-double in YSU s loss at Loyola on Friday. No. Name Pos. Ht. Cl.

YSU was outscored by 25.8 points per game last season, and that number has dropped substantially to 13.5 points this year. Next in line is Wright State with a 6.2-point improvement. YSU also has the best improvement among Division I schools in Ohio. Kent State is second at 9.4 points. Success in First Years of Decades If historical trends hold true, YSU has a lot to look forward to in The program has enjoyed success in years ending in 1. In 1981, 1991 and 2001, the Penguins have a combined record of YSU was 17-7 in 1981, 24-4 in 1991 and 9-16 in Respectable vs. Green Bay at Home Youngstown State has played relatively well against Green Bay at Beeghly Center in each of the past two seasons. Last year, YSU held a lead against the 18th-ranked Phoenix before Green Bay s 16-0 run helped it to a win. The Penguins shot 50 percent their best mark in almost four years against Green Bay. Two years ago, YSU trailed just before Green Bay scored 12 straight points as part of a 16-2 run. Guins Succeeding Academically The women s basketball program at YSU enjoyed another strong semester in the classroom. As a team, the Penguins recorded a 3.24 grade-point average.

The Penguins have fi nished with eight conference wins twice in and YSU has lost 38 of its last 39 Horizon League games.
