1. CASH MONEY CALLIE
Callie Genke has had a sensational start to the 2024-25 campaign. No. 12 has been a remarkable 28-for-54 (51.9 percent) overall while drilling 19 of 38 three-point field goal attempts (50 percent). Genke is also 11-of-14 from the free-throw line (78.6 percent). Callie officially played her 100th career game Wednesday evening against IU Indy.

2. THERE GOES GUYER
Center/forward Jenna Guyer helped the Phoenix down the stretch last season and is off to a strong start this year. The CIrcle Pines, Minnesota native has scored at least seven points in all but three games, totaling 118 minutes of game action. She's also been efficient from the field, shooting 20-of-44 (45.5 percent).

3. SHARP-SHOOTIN' SCHREIBER
In 2023-24, Maddy Schreiber finished 162-of-293 overall (55.3 percent) while drilling 41 of 97 three-points attempts (42.3 percent). She was also sharp from the charity stripe, knocking down 45 of 55 free throw attempts (81.8 percent). Maddy was second on the team in points per game (12.1), only trailing McNeal. Schreiber has made 43-of-98 field goals so far during the 2024-25 campaign while being one of GB's most effective free throw shooters (18-of-21, 85.7 percent).

4. 450 ON THE HORIZON
A win over IU Indy on Wednesday night gave the Phoenix 450 wins all-time between the program's time in the MCC and Horizon League. That is by far the most in the conference, with Milwaukee (275) and Detroit Mercy (269) trailing the Phoenix.  Green Bay is also just eight victories shy from its 1,100th win since the program's inception in 1973.

5. 1,000 REASONS
Natalie McNeal has been reliable to begin her 2024-25 campaign. No. 11 has made 43 of 96 field goals so far (44.8 percent). McNeal has been one of Green Bay's best rebounders as well, averaging 4.9 per game, only trailing Jasmine Kondrakiewicz (6.1 RPG). McNeal scored her 1,000th career point on a fadeaway mid-range shot against Virginia on Thanksgiving Day.
