ALL-TIME SERIES VS UIC
The Phoenix has dominated the all-time series with the Flames, owning a 69-6 record against the Chicago-based program. Green Bay has also pieced together 18-straight wins in the series and claimed victories in 24 of the past 25 meetings.

CLOSING STRONG
Over the past five seasons, Green Bay has been no stranger to closing the season on a high note. The Phoenix has finished a perfect 5-0 on two separate occasions and owns a 22-3 record in the last five games of the regular season during that five-year span.
LECLAIRE LANDING IN THE TOP 10
Senior Allie LeClaire has been one of the leading contributors for the Phoenix offense over the past four years of her career, amassing 1,370 points entering the matchup at UIC. The native of Green Bay needs 17 points to move into a tie with Julie Steeno (1,387 points) for 10th on the all-time scoring list. LeClaire currently ranks eighth on the program's scoring list in the division I era, seventh is Kayla Tetschlag with 1,372 points. Sixth in the D1 era is Kim Wood with 1,408.

RIVALRY ROUNDUP
Green Bay is 4-0 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 sweep by taking down Milwaukee, 52-29, at home and 65-36 on the road. Green Bay owns an all-time record of 117-47 against the three D1 programs in the state of Wisconsin. 

LINDSTROM MAKING LEAPS
Senior Jessica Lindstrom enters the matchup with UIC with 13 double-doubles on the season and 36 in her Phoenix career, a new program record for the division I era. The original record of 35 was set by All-American and WNBA Draft Pick Julie Wojta. Lindstrom currently ranks third (first in the D1 era) on Green Bay's all-time rebounding list with 948 rebounds, second place is April Jensen (1979-82) with 1044. Lindstrom is the only player in D1 Phoenix history to reach 900 rebounds.

HISTORY OF SUCCESS
Green Bay has already secured its 41st-consecutive winning season this year and trails only Tennessee (44) for the longest active streak in the nation. Green Bay's streak includes 19-straight conference titles and 17 NCAA Tournament appearances. The Phoenix also clinched its 19th-consecutive 20-plus win season with a victory over the Northern Kentucky earlier this year, a streak dating back to 1999-00.

THE RISING PHOENIX
Green Bay continued its climb in both the USA Today Coaches Poll last week, rising to No. 15, and moved up one spot in the AP Poll at No. 20. The Phoenix ranks first in collegeinsider.com's and espn.com's mid-major polls.

GREEN BAY VS TOP 100 RPI
It was apparent Green Bay was going to face major tests early and often in the 2017-18 campaign when the schedule was unveiled back in September. Although the season is far from over, it's fair to say the Phoenix has dominated to date, currently owning an 9-1 record against teams in the top 100 RPI. The Phoenix is 4-1 against teams in the top 50.

DEFENSIVE DISPLAY
It is no secret Green Bay's defense has been locking down teams all season, currently boasting the best statistical defense in the country and allowing only 46.4 PPG. Second place is Central Arkansas, over three full points behind the Phoenix at 49.8 PPG. The program record for scoring defense in a single season in 49.0 PPG, set in the 2012-13 season.

BATTLE ON THE BOARDS
Green Bay has dominated the battle on the boards all season long, outrebounding its opponents in 23 of its 26 matchups this season. In total, the Phoenix holds a 957-735 rebounding edge over its opposition through 26 games.
 
DEFENSIVE DOMINANCE
Green Bay currently owns the best statistical defense in the country, allowing a lowly 46.4 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 12th (2.18.18) in RPI entering the matchup with UIC.
 
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 864-360 in the paint through 26 games and held a double-digit scoring advantage inside in 22 games this year.
