You can have Green Bay women's basketball with your early lunch break on Tuesday as they play the DePaul Blue Demons in Chicago.

In their last game, the Phoenix used a 16-5 run in the third quarter to throttle in-state rival UW-Milwaukee 76-53. Maddy Schreiber led the Phoenix with a career-high 23 points. Jasmine Kondrakiewicz added 16 points, and Natalie McNeal contributed 13 points. It was the first time in four years that the Phoenix won their Horizon League opener, including a few disappointing visits to Milwaukee. A win on Tuesday would be head coach Kevin Borseth's 800th.

Standing in the way are the Blue Demons, a perennial power that has opened the season with a 4-4 mark. Anaya Peoples had done it all for the Blue Demons early on, leading the team in points per game (20.9), rebounds per game (8.0), assists per game (3.6), blocks per game (1.3), and minutes (31.8 mpg). The Blue Demons have their own legendary coach in Doug Bruno, who has accumulated more than 770 wins in his career.

If the Green Bay Packers end up in the playoffs in January, they will remember their 27-19 win against the Kansas City Chiefs back in December.

Much of the attention before the game was focused on the arrival of celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Simone Biles, and Tony Shaloub, who donned more than just a cardigan before the cool, snowy night at Lambeau Field. The Packers first filled the blank space on the scoreboard when Jordan Love found Ben Sims for his first touchdown. After the Chiefs kicked a field goal to make it 7-3, the Packers' Christian Watson found daylight in the back of the endzone to make it 14-3 early in the second quarter. The Chiefs would score the next nine points, making it 14-12 in the third quarter, giving fans a feeling they know all too well about Patrick Mahomes' ability to score. Love and the Packers were able to shake it off and drove down to the field for his third touchdown pass of the game to extend the game out to 21-12. The Chiefs would bring it back to a two-point game when Mahomes pulled the invisible string on his only touchdown pass of the game to reserve tight end Noah Gray, putting another seven on the board. The Packers took control from there, kicking two field goals in the fourth quarter. They thought they had sealed the game when Keisean Nixon made an over-the-shoulder catch for an interception, but Mahomes would have at least one more chance to leave fans of both teams breathless. The referees would turn into an anti-hero for both teams, with a roughing the passer call going against the Packers and two potential pass interference no-calls going in their favor. The final no-call ended the game for the Packers, giving fans a crazier conclusion than they could have asked for heading into the evening as a 5.5-point underdog.

The Packers will have a second straight long week to prepare for a game as they battle the Giants say "Welcome to New York" for Monday Night Football.

The Green Bay Phoenix shot 46 percent from behind the arc as they beat their in-state rivals UW-Milwaukee 70-58 Saturday night at the Resch Center.

Their hot start was aided by nine three-pointers in the first half, some of which aided an 11-0 run at the end of the first half to give the Phoenix a 39-25 lead at the break. The Panthers would get it to six points a few times during the second half, only to have the Phoenix extend it back out thanks to smaller runs.

Noah Reynolds paced the Phoenix with 17 points and eight assists. Preston Ruedinger and Foster Wonders each had 12 points while Rich Bhyre registered 10 points. The Panthers got 25 points from Markeith Browning II in the loss.

The Phoenix will travel to Southern Illinois-Edwardsville on Wednesday before taking on Western Illinois at home on Saturday.

The Green Bay Packers will try for a major upset on Sunday night when they host the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Packers have not played since Thanksgiving when they beat the division-leading Detroit Lions 29-22. he Packers started fast when a 50-plus yard pass play set up a 10-yard touchdown throw from Jordan Love to Jayden Reed on the game's opening drive. After the Lions scored a touchdown on the first drive, the Packers would find the endzone again when Love hooked up with Tucker Kraft from nine yards out. Jonathan Owens made a game-changing play when he picked up a Jared Goff fumble and took it 27 yards to make it 20-6 after one-quarter of play. A 16-yard passing touchdown from Love to Christian Watson would loom large as the Lions would eventually get the game to within a score. After a late touchdown by the Lions, Reed recovered an onside kick to allow Love to kneel the ball out to end the threat.

The Chiefs have split their last four games, including a 31-17 win against the Las Vegas Raiders last Sunday. The team received bad news when they declared running back Jerick McKinnon out for Sunday's game, forcing them to elevate a player from the practice squad to fill his spot. 

Kickoff is set for 7:20 p.m.

The Green Bay Phoenix women's basketball team made sure history did not repeat itself on Thursday, using a 16-5 run in the third quarter to throttle in-state rival 76-53.

The Phoenix and Panthers traded leads in the first 15 minutes of the matchup, but a 14-2 run to end the second quarter gave the Phoenix a ten-point lead at the break. The aforementioned third quarter put the game out of reach for the Panthers, who would trail by as much as 30 points in the fourth quarter before a late run closed the gap. The Phoenix forced 19 turnovers in the game and had five more rebounds than the Panthers.

Maddy Schreiber led the Phoenix with a career-high 23 points. while Jasmine Kondrakiewicz added 16 points and Natalie McNeal contributed 13 points in the victory. It was the first time in four years that the Phoenix won their Horizon League opener, which included a couple of disappointing visits to Milwaukee. 

They travel to Chicago on Tuesday to face DePaul in a matinee.

The Green Bay Phoenix have games against their in-state rival this week, but the men opened Horizon League play on Wednesday with a 75-71 loss to Purdue-Fort Wayne.

The Mastodons entered the game as one of the league's hottest teams from the field, scoring over 100 points twice in their seven games this season. The Phoenix defense did what it could, limiting the Mastodons to 45 percent from the field. The two teams rarely exchanged leads in the first half with the Mastodons as the Phoenix trailed at the half 36-32. The Phoenix offense started to click more in the second half, allowing them to take the lead from the Mastodons several times. They could never extend their advantage by just a few buckets, allowing the Mastodons to slip past them in the final minutes. 

Noah Reynolds led the Phoenix with 16 points, while Clarence Cummings III scored 12 points in his season debut. Junior Elijah Moore added 11 points in the loss. The Phoenix men return home to the Resch Center for their tilt against UW-Milwaukee on Saturday at 6 p.m.

The Phoenix women only have to wait until tonight (Thursday) for their matchup against the Panthers. They are coming off a 2-1 visit south of the border at the Cancun Challenge, picking up their second win against a ranked opponent this season when they toppled Washington State on getaway day. The Panthers have rebounded after a 0-3 start, winning four straight games. Thursday's Horizon League opener marks the 100th meeting between the two squads. The Phoenix and Panthers will play each other at the Klotsche Center in Milwaukee at 7 p.m.

With several players returning to practice on Monday, two players were cut from the Green Bay Packers' roster.

General Manager Brian Gutekunst kicked off the week with the announcement that the organization had cut WR Bo Melton and RB James Robinson. There is a chance they could stick with the team on the practice squad. ESPN LaCrosse's Paul Bretl says the Packers have two practice squad openings and worked out six players on Monday, including three tight ends and two running backs. The Athletic's Matt Schneidman reported several Packers players returning to the practice field after missing last Thursday's game against the Lions:

Present but not practicing today:
A. Jones
Dillon
Deguara

Released:
Melton
J. Robinson

Practicing after missing game:

The Packers are getting ready for their Sunday night tilt against the Kansas City Chiefs.

You can start sending Green Bay Packers players to Orlando for the 2023 Pro Bowl Games.

The reimagined event now puts players from the two conferences against each other in various skill competitions before playing a flag football game. According to the NFL, the Pro Bowl Games will occur on February 4th, with Peyton and Eli Manning returning as head coaches of the AFC and NFC.

Entering their respective matchups as underdogs, both Green Bay Phoenix basketball teams emerged victorious Saturday afternoon.

In Cancun, the Phoenix women took down their second ranked opponent in as many weeks, beating Washington State 59-48. Entering the second quarter down by four points, the Phoenix outscored the Cougars 20-11 to take a lead they would not give up. Maddy Schreiberled the Phoenix with 12 points while Jenna Guyer added 11 points, and Bailey Butler chipped in 10 more. The Cougars were led by Charlisse Leger-Walker's 17 points and Tara Wallack's 16 points. Following the conclusion of the Cancun Challenge, Luxemburg-Casco alumna Cassie Schiltz was named to the All-Tournament Team. According to GreenBayPhoenix.com, the last time Green Bay won two games against an AP-Top 25 team was during the 2017-18 season when they took down #24 Arizona State (at the Cancun Challenge) and #23 Marquette at the Kress Center. The Phoenix are back home on November 30th when they battle Milwaukee in their Horizon League opener.

In Green Bay, the Phoenix men beat St. Thomas 64-51. They took a 10-point lead into the break and never allowed the Tommies to get within eight points. A big reason for the upset according to Vegas oddsmakers was because of the Phoenix's defense, limiting the Tommies to just 31 percent shooting from the field. Elijah Jones was the leading scorer for the Phoenix with 12 points followed by Marcus Hall with 10 points. Noah Reynolds did a little bit of everything for the Phoenix, contributing seven points, six rebounds, and six assists. This upcoming week, the Phoenix will head to Fort Wayne to take on the Mastodons before returning home to face UW-Milwaukee on Saturday.

The Green Bay Phoenix women's basketball team saw one game slip away ahead of their final day in the Cancun Challenge.

On Friday, the Maryland Terrapins outscored the Phoenix 23-15 in the final quarter to win the game 68-59. Both teams struggled to shoot in the game as they both shot below 35 percent. The Phoenix found it hard to hit a shot from behind the arc, shooting nine percent. They did start out strong, starting the game on a 10-2 run, but the Terps would not go away quietly. They outrebounded the Phoenix 57-33, showing off their size and strength to the undersized Green Bay squad. Maddy Schreiber scored 12 points while Callie Genke added 11 points. Two other Phoenix players scored nine points. The Terps were led by Shyanne Summers and her 23 points. 

The Phoenix women will play their final game of the Cancun Challenge against nationally ranked Washington State. After throttling Maryland in their first game, the Cougars nearly doubled up UMass, winning 90-48. The two teams play each other at 12:30 p.m.

The Phoenix men are also in action on Saturday, hosting St. Thomas at 2 p.m. They are coming off a 1-1 trip to Bozeman where they beat Montana State and lost to UC-Riverside. The Tommies are 3-3 after beating Portland State 76-70 in their last game.

The Green Bay Packers surprised a national audience on Thursday, beating the division-leading Detroit Lions 29-22.

The Packers started fast when a 50-plus yard pass play set up a 10-yard touchdown throw from Jordan Love to Jayden Reed on the game's opening drive. After the Lions scored a touchdown on the first drive, the Packers would find the endzone again when Love hooked up with Tucker Kraft from nine yards out. Jonathan Owens made a game-changing play when he picked up a Jared Goff fumble and took it 27 yards to make it 20-6 after one-quarter of play. The Packers' Anders Carlson would make it 23-6 to cap off the scoring in the first half.

The two teams would trade scores in the second half as the Lions' offense started to make it progress. A 16-yard passing touchdown from Love to Christian Watson would loom large as the Lions would eventually get the game to within a score. After a late touchdown by the Lions, Reed recovered an onside kick to allow Love to kneel the ball out to end the threat.

The Packers will now have time to recover and trim down its injury list before the Kansas City Chiefs come to town to kick off December. 

The Green Bay Phoenix women's basketball team passed the first test of its Cancun Challenge with ease on Thursday, getting past UMass 85-52.

The Phoenix scored over 20 points in three of the four quarters, shooting over 51 percent from the field on the day including 41 percent from behind the arc. A 9-0 run to begin the game made the rest of the game academic as they were able to easily stretch the game from there.

Luxemburg-Casco product Cassie Schiltz led all Phoenix players with 16 points while Natalie McNeal (14 points) and Maren Westin (13 points) also cracked double figures. 

The Phoenix will likely face a tougher task on Friday when they face Big 10 opponent Maryland. The Terrapins had been in the Top 25 as recently as last week, but losses to top-ranked South Carolina and sixth-ranked Connecticut knocked them out. They lost to #22 Washington State 87-67 in their Cancun Challenge opener. Tip-off is set for 12:30 p.m.

The Green Bay Glory is setting the stage for its 2024 campaign by setting the dates for its tryouts.

The tryouts will take place the final week of December and the opening week of January. Players can attend one or all of them. You can find out more information about the tryouts below.

The Green Bay Blizzard are heading into the holiday season still hard at work at creating their roster for the 2024 season.

It was a slower week for signings for the Blizzard, which will kick off their season on March 17th. You can see the signings below:

The Green Bay Gamblers nearly saw its 4-1 lead evaporate on Wednesday night but held onto beat the Madison Capitols 4-3.

The Gamblers scored twice in the first and second period to set the tone early before the Capitols made things interesting in the final frame. Blake Bechen and Ben Poitras provided the scoring in the first period while Libor Nemec and Brady Zugec scored in the second. Nine different Gamblers registered at least one point in the game. Gajan stopped 24 of the 26 shots he faced. 

The Green Bay Packers will try to stretch their winning ways to two games while breaking a long losing streak to the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving.

The Packers headed into a short week on a high note after beating the Los Angeles Chargers 23-20 at Lambeau Field on Sunday. The two teams would exchange the lead four times in the second half with touchdown passes to Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson on either side of a Chargers' field goal to start the third quarter and a touchdown pass to Keenan Allen. The Chargers would have one last chance to score, but they turned the ball over on downs to give the Packers the victory.

The Lions had their own heart attack on Sunday but eventually prevailed against the Chicago Bears 31-26. That extended their NFC North winning streak to seven games and put them in the driver's seat to win their first divisional crown since it was known as the NFC Central in 1993. The Lions already embarrassed the Packers this season, beating them at Lambeau Field 34-20 in front of a Honolulu blue-clad crowd. 

Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m.

The Green Bay Gamblers and the Madison Capitols will meet for the third time in a week on Wednesday when they square off in a Resch Center Thanksgiving tradition.

On Friday, Lev Katzin scored twice, including the tally that put the game away as the Green Bay Gamblers won the first of three straight against the Madison Capitols 5-3. After giving up the game's first goal, the Gamblers scored twice on tallies by Libor Nemec and Julian Lutz to make it 2-1 after one period of play. The two teams would trade goals the rest of the way, with Katzin matching a Capitols goal in the second period to keep it a one-goal game before Michael DeAngelo and Katzin delivered the knockout blows in the third period. Goaltender Adam Gajan stopped 39 of 42 shots in the Gamblers victory.

The next night in Green Bay, The Green Bay Gamblers found themselves on the wrong side of a high-scoring affair on Saturday night at the Resch Center, falling to the Madison Capitols 6-4. The game was tied at three apiece heading into the third period thanks to Gamblers' goals from Julian Lutz, Josh Player, and Geno Carcone. Mykhailo Danylov would tie the game at 4-4 with just over 10 minutes left in the third period before Austin Burnevik finished off his hat trick with two goals in the final four minutes to give the Capitols a weekend split.

The rubber match will take place on Wednesday at the Resch Center at 7:05 p.m.

The Green Bay Phoenix women's basketball team is celebrating Thanksgiving south of the border this year as they open Cancun Challenge play on Thursday.

The Phoenix opened their six-game road trip with an extra dose of confidence moving forward as they beat #22 Creighton 65-53. The Phoenix set the tone against the Big East power early, outscoring them 22-9 in the game's opening stanza. A 17-0 run to end the first quarter and a 10-2 run to finish the second quarter gave the Phoenix a nine-point lead at the break. The Blue Jays would get to within four points late in the game, but the Phoenix knocked down free throws when it mattered to secure the upset.

Their first matchup is against UMass, which has opened its season with losses against Harvard, Monmouth, and Maine. The Phoenix will play Maryland on Friday and #23 Washington State on Saturday in Cancun. Thursday's game begins at 12:30 p.m.

The Green Bay Gamblers nearly saw its 4-1 lead evaporate on Wednesday night but held onto beat the Madison Capitols 4-3.

The Gamblers scored twice in the first and second period to set the tone early before the Capitols made things interesting in the final frame. Blake Bechen and Ben Poitras provided the scoring in the first period while Libor Nemec and Brady Zugec scored in the second. Nine different Gamblers registered at least one point in the game. Gajan stopped 24 of the 26 shots he faced. 

The Phoenix men will return to Green Bay with a split from their visit to Montana State after losing to UC-Riverside 74-68 Tuesday night.

For the second straight night, the Phoenix saw themselves staring down the barrel of a halftime deficit after the Highlanders started out before settling on a five-point advantage. The Phoenix and Highlanders would exchange blows in the second half and kept the game close throughout thanks to the Phoenix shooting more than 50 percent from behind the arc. The Phoenix would tie the game after going on a 12-2 run, but that was reciprocated by the Highlanders with a 14-0 run that put the game away. A late rally by the Phoenix made the game close, but they were ultimately sent home with the loss. 

 Noah Reynolds once again led the Phoenix in scoring with 19 points. Rich Byhre was magnificent behind the arc as he scored 14 points while Marcus Hall and David Douglas Jr. each added 12 points. Isaiah Moses was the difference maker for the Highlanders, scoring 22 points.

The Phoenix return home Saturday for a 2 p.m. tilt against St. Thomas.

The margin for error proved to be slim all night long for the Green Bay Phoenix after they survived their matchup against the Montana State Bobcats 54-53.

Down by one point at halftime, the Phoenix outscored the Bobcats by a single tally in the second half and overtime to secure the program's first road non-conference win since the Linc Darner era. It did not look like it would be close after the Phoenix went on a 12-0 run at the beginning of the second half to give them a double-digit near the period's halfway point. Dueling fates at the free throw line allowed the Bobcats to claw back into the game, with the Phoenix shooting 50 percent from the line compared to 85 percent for the home team. A missed runner at the expiration of overtime was the difference between a win and a loss for the Phoenix, led by Noah Reynolds' 19 points.  Amari Jedkins recorded seven points and nine rebounds, while Preston Ruedinger added nine points and six rebounds. The Bobcats were led by Robert Ford III, who registered 26 points and 13 rebounds in the loss.

The Phoenix will play in Bozeman again on Tuesday to face UC Riverside on a neutral court at 8 p.m. The Highlanders have dropped three straight games since an opening night victory against UC-Merced. They have also faced tough opponents since then with losses to Utah and North Carolina among the defeats.

Sunday's win came at a cost for the Green Bay Packers, as evident by the 16 players listed on Monday's injury report ahead of Thursday's tilt against the Detroit Lions.

By comparison, the Lions only had four players listed on their injury report. In both cases, the teams did not practice, so the designations estimate whether or not they would have participated.

In other roster moves, the Packers signed RB Patrick Taylor to the 53-man roster after their running backs all got injured on Sunday. The organization also released S Dallin Leavitt, signed RB James Robinson to the practice squad, and released LB Christian Young from the practice squad.
