KEEPING THINGS NEUTRAL
GB and CSU are both 3-1 in neutral site contests this season. All three of Green Bay's neutral games were in Cancun, Mexico for the Cancun Challenge over Thanksgiving. The Phoenix took down UMass before dropping a close game to Maryland. GB responded to that loss by upsetting then-No. 23 Washington State.

NOTHING BUT NET
As of March 11, Green Bay ranks 53rd in NCAA net ranking. The Phoenix has put together a solid resume this season, ranking as high as 27th in the NET, thanks to upset victories over Creighton and
Washington State earlier this season. The Phoenix boasts the highest net ranking in the Horizon League, with Cleveland State ranked 83rd.

CASSIE CUTTING IT LOOSE
Junior guard Cassie Schiltz has been dominant from the field this season, shooting 42.5 percent overall, 38.1 percent from beyond the arc, and 94.3 percent from the charity stripe. Schiltz, who
garnered her first Horizon League Player of the Week honor on January 2, tallied a career-high 27 points in the win over Cleveland State on December 30 and reached double figures in GB's win over
Detroit Mercy on January 18. Her 16 points against Youngstown State in last Thursday's quarterfinal was the most she tallied since scoring 27 against Cleveland State on December 30, which also marks the last time she reached over 15 points. Schiltz scored her 1,000th career point with 8:49 to go in the third quarter in yesterday's semifinal win over Purdue Fort Wayne.

ALL WE DO IS WIN
GB has had unparalleled success during this season, reaching 25 wins for the seventh time in the last 10 years. The Phoenix has had only one game that finished within three points this season and has found the 'W' column against winning teams, going 14-2 against squads with an above-.500 record.

RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
Some of the biggest keys to Green Bay's success during the 2023-24 campaign includes:

• Scoring 70+ points (20-1).
• Recording a higher field goal percentage than its opponent (25-0).
• Leading at the half (25-2).
• Surrendering less than 60 points (22-0).

CALLIE COMING THROUGH
Callie Genke has hit her stride lately, reaching double figures three times in the last four contests, scoring at least 11 points each time. No. 12 let it fly in the semifinal win over Purdue Fort Wayne on
Monday, shooting 6-of-11 overall while leading all scorers with 16 points.

WELCOME TO TITLETOWN
The Phoenix boasts a trio of true freshmen (Maren Westin, Sophie Lahti, and Meghan Schultz) and one transfer (Natalie Andersen, IUPUI). Westin and Andersen are guards, while Lahti and Schultz bring height to the forward position. Schultz stands at six feet, four inches, surpassing Kendall Renard as the tallest player on the team. The Phoenix once again boast a roster of mostly homegrown talent. Of the 13 players on the roster, 10 are from the Dairyland. Only Westin (Becker, Minn.), Lahti (Pine City, Minn.), and Jenna Guyer (Circle Pines, Minn.) are not from Wisconsin.
