  "account": "On November 14, the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay women's basketball team secured a 81-76 victory over the Badgers in their road opener at the Kress Events Center, marking their first loss of the season. Led by junior McKenna Johnson from Wilmot, who scored a career-high 24 points, the Phoenix never trailed throughout the game.\n\nWisconsin, playing on the road for the first time this season, attempted a comeback but fell short. Sophomore Addie Deal contributed 16 points, while juniors Teagan Mallegni and freshman Alicia Courthiau added 15 and 12 points respectively. Courthiau also delivered five assists and four steals, matching her career-high point total.\n\nIn the third quarter, Wisconsin's shooting improved to 50%, and they ramped up their defensive efforts in the fourth. The Badgers tied the game at 68-65 on a three-pointer by Deal with under five minutes left and extended their lead to 79-76 on Laci Steele's three-pointer with 20 seconds remaining. Maddy Skorupski sealed the win with two free throws in the final 11 seconds, contributing 14 assists overall, which tied for the second-most by a Phoenix player in a single game.",
