SCOUTING THE PIONEERS
Platteville is coming off a shortened season where they finished 2-7 in the WIAC. The Pioneers sport a mostly new-look team, returning only two of their five starters from 2020-21. However, the two starters, Maiah Domask and Allison Heckert were the top two in minutes played last season for Platteville.
Domask was the leading scorer for the Pioneers a season ago, averaging 15.3 points per game to go along with 11.6 rebounds per game. 
  
LONG TIME COMING
This is the first matchup for Green Bay and UW-Platteville since the 1985 season when the Phoenix grabbed an 86-57 win. GB leads the all-time series 4-3.
  
FRESH FACES
GB welcomes four true freshmen to the 2021-22 squad.
  
Callie Genke, a 6-0 guard, is one of those aforementioned freshmen. Genke prepped at Freedom High school where she was a two-time First Team All-Conference selection, as well as a two-time All-State team selection.
  
Bailey Butler, a 5-7 guard hailing from South Wayne, Wis. comes to the Phoenix from Black Hawk High school. Butler led Black Hawk to a Division 5 state championship in 2019 and received an All-State selection for it.

Jenna Guyer, a 6-2 forward comes to Green Bay from Circle Pines, Minn. Guyer led Centennial High school to a Minnesota Class AAAA State Championship third place finish, and was named All-State Honorable Mention in 2020.
 
Maddy Schreiber (6-0) rounds out the 2021-22 recruiting class for GB. Schreiber prepped at Kimberly High school where she was twice named Second Team All-Conference, once named First Team All-Conference, and received an All-State Honorable Mention selection as well.
 
FAMILIAR FACES
The Phoenix will return three of its five main starters from a 2020-21 season that saw the team finish third in the Horizon with a 14-4 conference record. 
 
Highlighting the Green Bay returners is redshirt-senior Meghan Pingel, who was selected to the HL Preseason All-League Second Team. Pingel will play a large role for the Phoenix, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. Last year she started in all 22 games and swiped a team-high 42 steals. On the offensive end, she averaged 5.2 points per game, 4.9 assists per game, and 2.8 rebounds per game.
 
Another name Green Bay will look to add stability is Hailey Oskey. Last season Oskey started in all 16 games she appeared in, averaging 7.9 points and 3.0 rebounds per game.
 
Jasmine Kondrakiewicz is the third starter returning for GB. Kondrakiewicz offers a big presence for the Phoenix inside, scoring 7.5 points and 3.8 rebounds a season ago. The freshman also blocked a team-high 19 shots on the year.
 
Sydney Levy and Cassie Schiltz are two other Phoenix that saw starts in the 2020-21 season and will look to make a heightened impact this year. Other returners include Brooklyn Blackburn, Ellie Foster, Julia Hartwig, Caelan Givens, and Kendall Renard.
