JAN. 4, 2009 - For the second time in as many months junior Kayla Tetschlag (Sheboygan, Wis.) was named the Horizon League Player of the week for Dec. 28 - Jan. 3.

In Green Bay's final non-conference game of the season against Southern Illinois (Dec. 28) Tetschlag posted her first career double-double leading all players with 25 points, 14 rebounds and four assists in the 75-64 win.

Five days later in Green Bay's conference opener at Cleveland State Tetschlag was matched up against Preseason Horizon League Player of the Year, Kailey Klein. Tetschlag held Klein to just three points and one rebound in the first half before Klein finished with 11 points and six boards for the game. On the offensive side of the ball Tetschlag had 21 points, six rebounds, three assists, while shooting a perfect 4-4 from the free-throw line as the Phoenix went on to win 78-60.

Tetschlag leads the Horizon League in scoring with 190 points averaging 15.8 ppg through 12 games. She was also named the Player of Week for Dec. 7 while teammate Julie Wojta (Mishicot, Wis.) was named Player of the Week Dec. 14.
