The Phoenix owns nine goals this season with five in conference play as Alex Zeller has found the back of the net four times with three coming against league foes. Eight players have reached double digits in their shot attempts to aid in the team's total of 148 with Carli Vogel (17), Zeller (16), Alyssa Barnes (15) and Maggie Fuller (15) ranking at the top of the group.

Kelly Kent has played every minute of the last seven matches and protected the net for the Phoenix every minute of conference play. All but two of her 24 saves have been against league foes while she has recorded shutouts against Oakland and Milwaukee.

The Flames have gone 3-1-0 over their last four matches, including the most recent 2-1 defeat of Youngstown State last weekend, marking a program record three-straight conference wins. UIC's Emily Valentine earned the title of Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week on Monday after scoring the game-winning penalty kick goal and helping limit the Penguins to just 11 shots.

The Flames have scored in each of their last seven games, a record streak for the program, as they have posted 11 of their 18 goals on the year in that span. Douglas (4) and Valentine (3) make up the most goals overall as well as in conference play with a combined five. Everin has topped the assist category with four helpers and three against league foes. UIC's 216 shots rank third with top contributions coming from Everin (33), Douglas (30) and Valentine (24), as the trio has put 37 attempts on goal.

UIC owns an advantage in the series with a record of 2-1-0 against Green Bay and has won the last two meetings.

The Titans have struggled to open Horizon League play and are still in search of their first win. The all-time series against Detroit Mercy leans heavily in the Titans' favor, as they have won 22 of the 27 meetings.
