Watch A Replay Of The Game

GREEN BAY, Wisc. – Freshman Shareta Brown (Pontiac, MI/Grand Blanc) had a game-high 24 points and sophomore Senee Shearer (Detroit, MI/Pershing) had 23, including 16 in the second half, as the Titans ended #9/9 Green Bay's perfect season with a 70-58 victory at the Kress Events Center on Thursday night.

Detroit (13-11, 9-3 HL) won for just the second time ever in Green Bay (2-18 all-time) and the first time since the MCC Championship game in 1997 when current head coach Autumn Rademacher was a star guard for U-D.

The win ended Green Bay's perfect run as the Phoenix are now 20-1, 10-1 in the HL. The win also ended Green Bay's school record 40-game regular season winning streak as well as the Phoenix' 36-game regular season winning streak over Horizon League teams. The Titans also prevented Green Bay from setting a new home-winning streak as the triumph put a stop to the Phoenix 27-game winning streak in its building.

It was the fifth victory in Titan history against a ranked opponent – with the last three coming in the last four years and Rademacher at the helm. It was also the first-ever win on the road against a ranked opponent in Titan history and the first win over a top 10 team since Dec. 5, 1981, when Detroit edged North Carolina State, 60-59.

UDM held Green Bay to a season low 29.9% shooting (20-of-67), while outrebounding the Phoenix, 47-32. The Titans also held a 30-8 advantage in points in the paint.

Detroit led for much of the game until Green Bay took a three-point lead, 50-47, with 8:13 left, but the red, white and blue outscored the Phoenix, 23-8, down the stretch to earn the historic win.

Brown and Shearer then each split a pair of free throws over the next two minutes to get within one before Brown hit two from the charity stripe to put UDM up, 51-50, with 5:46 left. Shearer would then add a layup before a Green Bay basket cut it to one, 53-52, with less than four minutes remaining.

That is when the Titans put the finishing touches on their historic win as Brown scored the next five points. Green Bay would hit a few baskets in the last two minutes, but Detroit hit all 12 of its free throws in the final 1:18 to seal the triumph.

Brown added seven rebounds and was 6-of-11 from the field and 12-of-15 from the line. Junior Yar Shayok (Ottawa, ON/Hillcrest) had six points and tied for a game-high with nine rebounds, while senior Lauren Allen (Rochester Hills, MI/Rochester) tallied five points, four rebounds and a team-best three assists. Sophomore Megan Hatter (Howell, MI/Howell) tied her career high with eight rebounds in the contest.

Green Bay took an early 8-5 lead by hitting three of its first six shots, but the Titans stormed back with 17-straight points to take a 22-8 lead midway through the first. Detroit led the way by playing tough as Green Bay missed 12-straight shots from the field.

It was a team effort on the offensive front as six players scored during the run with UDM hitting 7-of-its 12 shots. Brown and senior Jalesa Jones (Detroit, MI/Pershing) – who ended with seven rebounds and four points – each had four points in the run, while Shearer had a 3-pointer and Allen, junior Demeisha Fambro (Detroit, MI/Crockett Tech) and Shayok netted two apiece.

The Phoenix responded with six-straight points, but Shearer's old fashioned three-point play ended that and UDM was up by double digits again, 25-14, with 6:24 remaining in the first.

The Titans were standing nose-to-nose with the top-10 team as the Phoenix started to make a charge late in the first, ending the half on a 10-4 run, but the red, white and blue still went into the locker room up, 29-24.

The Titans defense was stellar in the first half as Green Bay was just 7-of-31 from the field for a season low 22.6%. Five of those field goals were from three, which is what kept the Phoenix in the game. UDM also cashed in on its opportunities at the line hitting and dominating the paint, where it had a 16-0 advantage in points.

Detroit shot 43.2% in the game and 82.9% from the free throw line, connecting on a season-best 29 free throws.
