The Phoenix has dominated the series against the Penguins with a 16-3-3 record. GB has won six of the last seven and hasn't lost to YSU since October 5, 2013. Against Cleveland State, Green Bay is 8-10-0. GB won the first four meetings against CSU and has defeated the Vikings in the last two matches. The programs last met on October 31, 2021, when GB blanked CSU 4-0 in the Horizon League Quarterfinals.
 
ABOUT THE PENGUINS
Brian Shrum is in his fifth season with Youngstown State. The Penguins are looking to rebound from a 2-11-5 season in 2021.

YSU has spread the wealth on offense with five different Penguins notching a goal. Two of those players (Taylor Lloyd and Regan LaVigna) have reached double-digit shots. 
 
ABOUT THE VIKINGS
Dallas Boyer will look to get back over .500 in his coaching career with the Vikings. He is currently 43-43-10 in his sixth season with CSU.

Three Vikings have tallied four goals on the season (Kathryn Ramicone, Mayra Sesmas, and Maddie Youngs), while they all lead the team with nine points.
 
THE GREEN BAY WAY
Green Bay's defense has kept them in almost every game this season, allowing just 1.80 goals per contest. Annie Mason has racked up 11 career shutouts since joining the Phoenix for the 2021 spring season, third-most in program history. 
 
ON THE HORIZON
The Phoenix has just six games left in the regular season, including four at home. GB is 2-1-1 at Aldo Santaga Stadium and could take advantage of their home turf to propel them into a Horizon League Tournament spot. Last season, Green Bay went 5-0-4 at home and won their first Horizon League postseason game since 2014 at home last October. The Phoenix will have to secure a spot in the top six to play in the Horizon League Championships.
 
NEW PHOENIX FACES
Katelyn Fishnick, Zoey Pagels, and Sierra Morgano, three of the freshmen, highlight the 2022 recruiting class. Fishnick was a WSCA First Team All-State member, Pagels was the WSCA Player of the Year in 2022, and Morgano became a U.S. Youth Soccer National Champion in 2022. Fishnick has started nine of GB's 10 games while notching the second-most shots (12). Morgano, a defender, has started all 10 games and tallied 900 minutes.
