ABOUT THE RAIDERS
The Raiders have struggled in Kari Hoffman's second year at the helm of the program. Wright State is 4-20 overall and 3-11 in the Horizon League.

Bryce Nixon is the leading scorer for the Radiers, averaging 12.3 points per game on 41.4 percent shooting from the floor and 39.3 shooting from three point range.

LAST MATCHUP
Bailey Butler tied her career-high scoring output with 16 points as Green Bay cruised past Oakland 70-50. Bailey Butler led the team with 16 points, tying a career-high, while Sydney Levy had 14 points. Jasmine Kondrakiewicz scored 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the field, and Cassie Schiltz chipped in 10 points and six rebounds. Natalie McNeal set a career-high as well, pulling down 11 rebounds.

WEEKEND FOR THE BOOKS
Green Bay's weekend road trip to Michigan became a historical one. Last Friday at Detroit Mercy, Kevin Borseth garnered his 784th win as a head coach, taking sole possession as the 20th winningest coach in NCAA women's basketball history. On Sunday at Oakland, Levy reached 1,000 career points. She reached the milestone by drilling a three with 4:22 remaining in the first quarter off an assist from Bailey Butler.

SYD THE KID
Senior Sydney Levy has been spectacular for Green Bay this season. She has started every game since December 10 and has posted multiple career numbers:

• 11.5 PPG
• 96.9 percent from the charity stripe
• 39.1 percent from beyond the arc
• Field goals made (100)

SHOUT FOR SCHILTZ
Cassie Schiltz has solidified herself as a seasoned veteran on the Phoenix. The Luxemburg-Casco graduate has appeared in 22 of GB's 23 games, starting all of them. She's third in scoring on the squad at 8.7 points per contest. Schiltz is also one of the best rebounders on the team, pulling in the third-most on the team at 4.8 per game.

NAT ATTACK
After transferring from St. Louis last spring, Natalie McNeal has been key off the bench for GB. Having played in all 23 games, McNeal - a Germantown native - averages 4.1 ppg in just 15.6 minutes of work. She displays a solid mid-range jumper, shooting 34-of-83 (40.9 percent) inside the arc.

JASMANIAN DEVIL
Jasmine Kondrakiewicz has proven to be an all-around player for the Phoenix. She has appeared in all 23 games while starting 12. She chips in with 7.7 points per game, while averaging just 17 minutes per contest. A consistent shooter, 'Jas' is 47.1 percent from the field (64-of-136) and 36.1 percent from deep (13-of-36).

BRING ON BAILEY
Reigning Horizon League Freshman of the Year Bailey Butler has been on top of her game the last six weeks. Since Green Bay's first game of 2023 at Wright State, Butler has reached double figures in seven of GB's 10 games, including four in a row from 1/5/23 to 1/14/23. She has been a mainstay on the hardwood, racking up 33 or more minutes in each of the past six games.

THE GREAT GENKE
Callie Genke has taken a second-year leap for Green Bay, improving in key statistical categories. Compared to last year, Genke is averaging:

• 2.2 more points
• 4.2 percent increase in field goal percentage
• 15.3 percent increase in three-point field goal percentage

NAME OF THE GAME
Green Bay's offense as a whole has taken a leap from last season. In 2021-22, GB averaged 61.9 points per game, which ranked 225th in the nation. This year, the Phoenix is posting 68.2 points per contest, good for 127th in the country and fourth in the Horizon League. Green Bay's field goal percentage also climbed from 39.0 percent last season (6th in the HL) to a conference-leading 44.7 percent this year. The Phoenix boasts the second-best scoring margin in the hl at +15.0, only behind Cleveland State's +18.7.

DYNAMITE DEFENSE
The Phoenix is historically known for solid defense, and that hasn't changed during the 2022-23 campaign. Green Bay has stuffed opponents to 53.2 points per game, easily the best in the Horizon League and eighth in the NCAA. GB is also number one in the Horizon in opponent field goal percentage (33.4 percent) and assist-to-turnover ratio (1.24).

WIN FROM WITHIN
Thirteen of GB's 15 players come from inside the state border. Only Jenna Guyer (Circle Pines, Minn.) and Tatum Koenig (West Branch, Iowa) are not from Wisconsin.
