COACH BORSETH INKED THROUGH 2024-25
Green Bay and head women's basketball coach Kevin Borseth have agreed to a contract extension through the 2024-25 season, Director of Athletics Charles Guthrie announced on Monday.
 
SECURING NUMBER 20
Senior Jessica Lindstrom led the Phoenix to victory with her third-consecutive double-double on Monday evening at the UIC Pavilion, scoring a game-high 22 points and collecting 13 rebounds in Green Bay's 66-37 win over the Flames. With Green Bay's win at UIC and IUPUI's loss to Milwaukee on Monday night, the Phoenix has secured its 20th-consecutive regular-season championship and the No. 1 overall seed in the Horizon League Tournament. A win over Oakland or Detroit Mercy would secure the championship outright.
 
ALL-TIME SERIES VS OAKLAND
The overall series with Oakland has been rather competitive, with Green Bay owning a 7-4 record against the program hailing from Rochester, Mich. The Golden Grizzlies have defeated Green Bay four times in the since the 2014-15 campaign, more than the rest of the league programs combined.
 
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.
 
LINDSTROM MAKING LEAPS
Senior Jessica Lindstrom enters the matchup with Oakland with 14 double-doubles on the season and 37 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 961 rebounds, second place is April Jensen (1979-82) with 1044. Lindstrom is the only player in D1 Phoenix history to reach 900 rebounds.
 
THE RISING PHOENIX
Green Bay remained in the polls this week despite its setback at Cleveland State, coming in at No. 22 in the AP Poll and No. 21 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.
 
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 DOMINANCE
Green Bay currently owns the best statistical defense in the country, allowing a lowly 46.1 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 16th (2.22.18) in RPI entering the matchup with Oakland.
 
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 902-372 in the paint through 27 games and held a double-digit scoring advantage inside in 23 games this year.
