Hays recently traveled to Green Bay to report on the unbeaten, No. 14 Phoenix and the team’s senior leader, Julie Wojta.

“Wojta scored 24 points against Illinois on a neutral court and 29 points at Wisconsin. She shoots 56 percent from the floor, 86 percent from the free throw line, 40 percent from the 3-point line and ranks 19th in the nation at 19.7points per game (in addition to 20th in rebounding and 14th in steals).
