Green Bay is riding a nine-game win streak over the Jaguars that dates back to 2018. The Phoenix will look to extend a three-game win streak against Cleveland, the longest in program history against the Vikings. GB will also look to avenge an October loss against Oakland, who have won their last three home contests against the Phoenix. Green Bay enters Tuesday's matchup against IUPUI on a two-game slide after a pair of conference losses this past weekend.
 
ABOUT THE JAGUARS
Lindsey Froehlich is at the helm of the Jaguars and is in her fourth full season. The Jaguars sit at 9-16 overall and are on an eight-game skid coming into Tuesday's contest. 
 
IUPUI's offense is led by Briana Brown, who has totaled 338 kills this season. Darragh Dixon and Sidney Veatch each have over 400 assists, and Morgan Ostrowski is averaging just under one block per set on defense. Brooke Phillips leads the Horizon League in service aces, garnering 43 for the year.
 
ABOUT THE VIKINGS
Chuck Voss has won 388 games over 23 years as the head coach of the Cleveland State Vikings. The Vikings won only three nonconference matches this season but are just under .500 in Horizon League play.
 
Laken Voss leads CSU with 305 kills, the only player with over 200 on the team. Karly Klaer has tallied 663 assists this season, and the Vikings have four players with over 20 service aces on the year. Lydia Latimer is second in the Horizon League in blocks with 102.
 
ABOUT THE GOLDEN GRIZZLIES
In her first season with the team, head coach Krista Rice has led Oakland to a 9-16 record. Entering the week, the Golden Grizzlies have lost four straight Horizon League contests.
 
Patti Cesarini and Libby Gentile are a one-two punch on the offensive end, combining for 560 kills this season. AnnaBelle Tomei, Madison Ross, and Rachel Rossman are all averaging more than 3.5 assists per set. On the defensive side, Emily Wichmann is second in the Horizon League with 490 digs, and Jessica Riedl leads the team with 52 blocks.
 
EIGHTY FOR ABBEY
With Green Bay's next victory, head coach Abbey Sutherland will garner her 80th win in her time at Green Bay. She ranks third all-time in wins with the Phoenix.

AMAZING ANGIE
Angie Gromos has been a player to watch all season. The grad transfer from Northern Illinois is fifth on the squad in kills (159, 1.64/set) and paces the team with 121.0 blocks - an average of 1.25 per set - which is first in the Horizon League. Gromos was named Horizon League Player of the Week on Sept. 7 and will be an important piece down the stretch after Tiffany Paalman's injury on October 7.
