GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -Nicole Soulis scored 19 points and Amanda Popp added 18 points and seven rebounds as No. 24 Wisconsin-Green Bay extended its school-record winning streak to 20 games with a 84-70 win over Butler on Saturday.
The victory clinched the ninth straight regular-season Horizon League championship for the Phoenix.
It wasn't easy, however, as the Phoenix (23-3, 14-0 Horizon League) couldn't shake the Bulldogs (12-14, 9-5) until a 13-0 run midway through the second half.
Butler led for most of the first half, but Green Bay went into the break with a 41-39 lead. The teams traded leads for the first 8 1/2 minutes of the second half when the Phoenix pulled away.
Lade Akande led the Bulldogs with 17 points and six rebounds. Ellen Hamilton added 15 points on five 3-pointers and Jackie Closser added 13 points.
Natalie Berglin added 16 points and four assists for Green Bay, which hasn't lost since a 71-70 defeat to DePaul on Nov. 29.
Green Bay shot 33-for-62 (53.2 percent) from the field. The Phoenix also made 12 of 13 free throws. Butler made 11 3-pointers, but was just 5-for-18 from outside the arc in the second half.
