Green Bay is seeking more perfection against Robert Morris, entering Saturday's contest 6-0 against the Colonials. RMU has had a slow start under first-year head coach Chandler McCabe, who is in her first year as a collegiate head coach.

Robert Morris has played their best at home this season, posting a 4-4 home record compared to a 1-6 road record (no neutral games).

RMU has scored 54 or fewer points each time they've played GB, including 50 or fewer in all three of their past home games against the Phoenix. Green Bay escaped with a 60-50 win over Robert Morris in the last meeting on February 15, 2024. Four Phoenix reached double figures that day: Cassie Schiltz (14 pts.), Jenna Guyer (13 pts.), Bailey Butler (11 pts.), and Natalie McNeal (10 pts.).
