The Phoenix is 1-1 against Virginia and 6-3 versus Drake all-time. GB has never faced Norfolk State. Green Bay last saw Virginia in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2015, which resulted in a 59-68 loss. The Green and White took down the Cavaliers 69-67 in the first-ever meeting during the 2009-10 season. Virginia, a Power 5 team in the ACC, went 16-16 last year and played a total of 12 games against AP Top-25 ranked teams, including conference foes NC State, North Carolina, and Florida State. The Cavaliers nearly upset Angel Reese and the seventh-ranked LSU Tigers last November. Sophomore guard Kymora Johnson, who paced Virginia at 15.3 points per game in 2023-24, returns for her sophomore year.
GB has had recent success against Drake. After splitting the first four matchups against the Bulldogs, Green Bay has taken four of the last five. The Phoenix dropped the last meeting, 67-80, in Des Moines. Drake finished the 2023-24 campaign with an impressive 29-6 overall record and claimed the No. 12 seed in the Albany 2 section of the NCAA Tournament before dropping their first-round contest against Colorado. Katie Dinnebier enters her senior season after leading the Bulldogs with 18.1 PPG last year.
Norfolk State went 27-6 last year, finishing 13-1 in Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) action. The Spartans escaped Howard for the MEAC Tournament title, clinching an automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament. NSU drew a tough matchup against two-seeded Stanford, falling 50-79.
The complete non-conference schedule will be released soon.
