ABOUT GREEN BAY ATHLETICS
UW-Green Bay Athletics was established in September of 1969 with men's soccer, followed by men's basketball in the same year, four years after the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay was founded. In November of 1969, the University applied for membership in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).

In May of 1970, the Phoenix became the mascot and the official name of UW-Green Bay athletic teams. UW-Green Bay requested to enter NCAA Division I athletics in September 1979 and was granted that status beginning Fall of 1981. In 1982, the University joined seven more schools to form the Mid-Continent Conference (MCC) to compete in NCAA Division I athletics. Women's programs transitioned from the NAIA to Division I in 1987-1988 when they joined the North Star Conference. In 1994-1995, the men's and women's programs joined the Midwestern Collegiate Conference, which changed its name to the Horizon League in 2001.
