GREEN BAY'S LAST TIME OUT
Green Bay registered an impressive 2-0 win at Wright State last Wednesday, scoring a goal in both halves. Coming off a week break after last week's cancellation, GB wasted no time getting on the board. Jamison Yoder boomed one beyond midfield and GB settled it, Freddie Ortega played a give and go with Ezau Milan, with Milan finding Ortega who played it back to Milan who then went on to beat the keeper and bury it. It's the first goal of the season for Milan, which also serves as the game-winner.

After the two teams played scoreless the rest of the first half, the Phoenix found the back of the net again in the 58' on a nice finish by Bernard Assibey Rhule. Rhule found an opening after a nice assist from Milan, recording his second goal of the season.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Senior goalkeeper Jamison Yoder earned #HLMSOC Defensive Player of the Week honors after an amazing effort protecting the net for Green Bay this past week. The team registered an important 2-0 win at Wright State on Wednesday afternoon, moving itself into the fourth spot in the Horizon League standings. Yoder earned a clean sheet in the contest, his second shutout of the season. Yoder and the Green Bay defense faced 20 shots from the Raiders offense but never allowed one to reach the net, securing a crucial three points as the team eyes the postseason.

SCOUTING MILWAUKEE
The Panthers sit at an even .500 on the year at 4-4. The team has scored 14 goals and allowed 11, coming off a 4-0 win over IUPUI. Paulo Gratton has scored seven goals this year with Logan Farrington adding 11. 

ALL-TIME SERIES
Green Bay trails 26-18-5 all-time against the Panthers, but has certainly held the upper hand of late in the series. The Phoenix has gone 2-2 the past four, but holds a 7-3-2 mark over the last dozen meetings since 2008. The Phoenix reclaimed the Chancellor's Cup in 2019 with a 2-0 shutout.

UP NEXT
Green Bay will finish the regular season at home with a match against Oakland on April 5. The team's postseason fate could come down to that match.
