RIVALRY ROUNDUP
Green Bay welcomes Milwaukee this afternoon for the final in-state rivalry pairing of the regular season, looking for a sweep of the Panthers in the process. The Phoenix owns an all-time record of 69-19 against the team down south, and currently boasts a four-game winning streak in the series. GB has claimed victories in 12 of the past 13 meetings. The Phoenix has enjoyed success against the three division I teams hailing from Wisconsin, currently owning an all-time record of 119-48 heading into Saturday's matchup.
 
STARTING A NEW STREAK
Green Bay suffered a setback at home in its most recent league matchup, falling to IUPUI on Saturday to snap a 27-game winning streak at home in conference play. The Phoenix owns a record of 37-3 at home during league play over the past five seasons and has not lost back-to-back league games at the Kress Center during that stretch.
 
APPROACHING 1,000 PROGRAM WINS
During its 46 years as a program, the Green Bay women's basketball team has accumulated a total of 995 victories. During those 46 seasons, three head coaches have graced the sidelines for the Phoenix, starting with Carol Hammerle in the 1973-74 campaign. Hammerle led the program for 25 seasons and accumulated 456 wins before passing the torch to Kevin Borseth in 1998-99, who would go on to lead the Phoenix for 16 total seasons in two separate stints leading up to our present campaign. Borseth has racked up 391 wins with the Phoenix and continues to add to that number with each passing game. Matt Bollant took the reins from 2007-12, amassing 148 victories in five seasons and leading the program to an appearance in the Sweet Sixteen.
 
BOUNCING BACK
Over the past five seasons, Green Bay has lost a total of only 10 league games including a setback against IUPUI last week. If history is any indication, the Phoenix will bounce back with a victory against Milwaukee this weekend, having only lost back-to-back games on a single occasion in the past five seasons, both of which contests were on the road.
 
SECURING 700
Kevin Borseth sealed his 700th career head coaching victory against Youngstown State on Jan. 12. Borseth currently ranks 16th among active coaches in wins throughout all divisions of the NCAA, and he is the 29th coach in history to reach the 700-win milestone. Among active division I coaches with at least five years of division I coaching experience, Borseth's 700 wins ranks 10th in the nation.
 
NONCONFERENCE NOTABLES
The Phoenix faced two Big Ten teams, three ranked opponents and six NCAA Tournament Qualifiers in its 10-game nonconference season, compiling a 5-5 record in the process. Green Bay earned national attention by taking No. 15 DePaul to the wire and defeating No. 16 Missouri. Missouri is the highest ranked road opponent ever defeated by Green Bay and the highest ranked team to fall at the hands of the Phoenix since No. 12 Michigan State in the 2011 NCAA Tournament, a win which propelled GB into the Sweet Sixteen. The Phoenix is 3-3 against teams that advanced to last year's NCAA Tournament.
