PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Kayla Karius leads Wisconsin-Green Bay into Horizon League play with the program's strongest recent record, having compiled a 20-7 overall mark highlighted by a conference-leading 14-2 slate. Playing at the 3,000-seat Kress Center in Green Bay, the Phoenix have established themselves as a domestic fortress with an 11-2 home record while controlling tempo through defense, limiting opponents to 59.0 points per game this season. The roster of 14 players has averaged 67.7 points per game, translating directly into Horizon League dominance after the program was established in 1965 within the UW system's comprehensive regional institution network.

Green Bay's ability to win away from home remains critical, though their 9-5 road record trails their home performance significantly. Karius has built roster depth across the 14-player squad that allows consistent offensive execution while maintaining defensive discipline, a formula that produced the conference's best record. Within UW-Green Bay's student body of 9,870, the women's basketball program represents the university's commitment to D1 competition and regional athletic prominence in northeast Wisconsin.
