Green Bay is 1-6-0 versus the Norse. Northern Kentucky won the first six meetings before GB won the last matchup, a 1-0 victory at NKU. The Phoenix has never won at home against the Norse.
GB is 7-30-1 against their in-state rival Milwaukee, and the Panthers have had the upper hand in recent years, winning the last five. GB's last victory over MKE was on October 8, 2014, a 2-0 win at home.
ABOUT THE NORSE
Bob Sheehan, the legendary head coach, has brought Northern Kentucky unprecedented success, garnering a 334-126-33 record in 25 seasons. The Norse have had a challenging 2022 season, but a bright spot is Emilie Doersching, who leads the team with two goals and four points. She is second on the team with three shots on goal.
ABOUT THE PANTHERS
Kevin Boyd joined the Milwaukee staff as head coach prior to the 2022 season and has guided the Panthers to another successful season. Milwaukee, the 2021 Horizon League Champions, is currently first in the ;eague with an 8-3-3 overall record while notching a 5-1-2 HL record (17 points). Kayla Rollins will be a force to be reckoned with. She paces the Panthers with eight goals and 16 points overall.
FOCAL FRESHMAN
Sierra Morgano has been a revelation for the Phoenix defense this season. The freshman from Sussex, Wisconsin is the lone GB player to start every game and play all 1,260 minutes. Morgano also leads all defenders with five shots.
PASS IT TO PAGELS
Zoey Pagels, one of 13 true freshmen on the squad, has been dominant in 2022. She leads the team in goals (3), points (6), and shots on goal (10) and is tied for second in shots on goal (12). The 2022 Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association Player of the Year is responsible for two go-ahead goals for the Phoenix, including her first career goal, which was the dagger in a 2-0 win against Western Illinois on August 25.
MURPHY MAKING HER MARK
In her final season as a Phoenix, senior Emily Murphy has made her presence known to GB's opponents. Murphy, a forward from Burlington, Iowa, is one of four GB players to score a goal. She also paces the team in assists (3) and shots (27) while tallying the second-highest shots on goal (9) and points (5). Murphy scored four goals last season, starting 15 of the team's 17 games, and was tabbed to the Horizon League Academic Honor Roll both semesters.
