INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay women’s basketball team landed three players on the Horizon League Second-Team All-League, as Tesha Buck, Megan Lukan and Mehryn Kraker were each recognized for their play this season. Lukan also landed on the All-Defensive Team for the second straight season.

Despite running away with its 17th-straight Horizon League Championship and finishing with a three-game lead in the final standings at 15-1, the Phoenix (25-4, 15-1) was again left without a player on the First Team for the second-consecutive year. Green Bay had placed at least one player on the First Team in 15-striaght years prior to last season, speaking of the balance and attack the Phoenix employed the last two years.

The All-League recognition is a first for all three players, while both Buck and Kraker received All-Freshman league honors last season.

No. 1 seed Green Bay opens the 2015 Horizon League Tournament on Wednesday (Mar. 11), playing host to either No. 8 Milwaukee or No. 9 Valparaiso at the Kress Center at 7 p.m.
