Senior guard Allie LeClaire scored 13-points to move into the top 10 on Green Bay’s all-time scoring list. LeClaire has 1,393 points in her career.
Green Bay led 22-13 after the first quarter and 40-22 at halftime.
Senior forward Jessica Lindstrom scored a game-high 16 points and 12 rebounds, her 15th double-double of the season and 38th of her career.
It is the 17th time in the unrivaled streak that Green Bay has secured the championship outright.
