LEAGUE HONORS LECLAIRE
Allie LeClaire was named Horizon League Player of the Week after leading Green Bay with a season-high 28 points this past Saturday as the Phoenix defeated in-state rival Milwaukee at home, 52-29. LeClaire finished 10-for-15 from the field combined with a 5-for-9 mark from beyond the arc. The guard also doled out three assists, grabbed two rebounds and swiped five steals in 30 minutes. The win improved Green Bay to 12-2 on the season and 2-1 in Horizon League play.
 
GREEN BAY'S BACK….BACK AGAIN
After its dominant performance against Milwaukee that put the nation's top-ranked Phoenix defense on full display by holding the Panthers to a program-low 29 points, Green Bay climbed back into the AP Top 25 and stayed in the USA Today Coaches Poll for the sixth-straight week, coming in at to No. 24.
 
DEFENSIVE DISPLAY
It is no secret that Green Bay's defense has been locking down teams all season, currently boasting the best statistical defense in the country and allowing only 47.1 PPG. In fact, the Phoenix nearly ranks two full points ahead of second place, Central Arkansas, who allows 48.9. In Green Bay's most recent outing it held Milwaukee to just 29 points, only two points shy of matching the Kress Center record of 27 set against Northern Arizona on Dec. 15, 2007 for the fewest points allowed in a game.
 
RIVALRY ROUNDUP
Green Bay is 3-0 against in-state rivals this season, having defeated Wisconsin, 67-34, at the Kohl Center and Marquette, 63-55, at home. Most recently, the Phoenix completed the hat trick by taking down Milwaukee, 52-29. Green Bay owns an all-time record of 116-47 against the three D1 programs in the state of Wisconsin.

BATTLE ON THE BOARDS
Green Bay has dominated the battle on the boards all season long, outrebounding its opponents in 14 of its 16 matchups this season. In total, the Phoenix holds a 533-426 rebounding edge over its opposition through 14 games.
 
DEFENSIVE DOMINANCE
Green Bay currently owns the best statistical defense in the country, allowing a lowly 47.1 PPG. That stat alone is impressive, but when you factor in that five matchups this season have featured opponents that competed in the 2017 NCAA Tournament - one of which was the national runner-up - it's even more impressive. Green Bay ranks 10th in RPI entering the matchup with Youngstown State.
 
PAINTING A PICTURE
Green Bay has dominated the paint this season and held an advantage scoring inside every game this year. All told, the Phoenix has outscored its opponents 474-186 in the paint through 13 games and held a double-digit scoring advantage inside in 12 games this year.
 
LINDSTROM MAKING LEAPS
In Green Bay's last outing at Northern Kentucky, Jessica Lindstrom surpassed the 800-rebounds mark with her seventh double-double (20pts/12rebs) of the season. Lindstrom currently ranks seventh (fourth in the D1 era) on Green Bay's all-time rebounding list with 821, sixth is Kim Wood with 827 (third in the D1 era).
