Green Bay traded home court at the Kress for the Resch Friday and grabbed a 17-16 lead midway through the first half, but the floodgates soon opened for Cleveland State as they went on a 23-7 run to break the game open. 

The Phoenix closed the gap to 12 heading into halftime down 39-27. UWGB would outscore the Vikings in the second half, 55-50, but it wasn't enough to overcome the big first half run and they fell 89-82. 

It's the second time in two weeks the two teams met with Green Bay taking game one on January 15. Preston Ruedinger finished with 23 points in both games causing the Vikings problems, but this time Cleveland State overcame it with four players finishing over 15 points including team leader Dayan Nessah with 18 and 9 rebounds. 

The big difference came on offense as Cleveland State shot over 50% from the field and three-point range including 16-29 from the arc and UWGB was below both thresholds and 13-27 on triples. 

Green Bay will try to regroup returning to the Resch Center Sunday facing off against Wright State with tip-off at 1 p.m. 

The Green Bay Gamblers will host the Dubuque Fighting Saints on Saturday for their annual Teddy Bear Toss Night. Fans are encouraged to bring new teddy bears with tags attached and toss them onto the ice after the Gamblers’ first goal. All bears will be donated to local organizations.

The Gamblers are coming off a 3-1 win over the Muskegon Lumberjacks. Goals were scored by Cruz Martin, David Rozsíval, and Zach Wooten. Goalie Leo Henriquez earned the win, stopping 24 of 25 shots.

Puck drops at 6:05 p.m.

The Green Bay Phoenix men's basketball team will play their first Resch Center games of the season beginning on Friday night when they welcome Cleveland State to Titletown.

Last Saturday, a 12-0 run — capped by back-to-back Caden Wilkins 3-pointers — thwarted a comeback attempt by the Colonials after an early surge gave them a 41-40 lead. Robert Morris had trailed 40-33 at halftime. The Colonials hit several late 3-pointers to trim the lead and keep the game in doubt, but the Phoenix held on for the win. C.J. O’Hara led Green Bay with 18 points, while Wilkins and Justin Allen each scored 17.

Head coach Doug Gottlieb, who advocated for more games at the Kress Events Center for financial and logistical reasons, was complimentary of the Resch Center and its staff for making the arena feel like home. "The guys like shooting here, playing here. It's cool. I mean, this is a really nice venue. For a school of our level, this is as good a venue as you are going to have in the country."

The Vikings come into Friday's 6 p.m. game with a 7-14 record fresh off of an upset of the Phoenix's Sunday 1 p.m. opponent Wright State. At just under 38 percent, the Vikings lead the conference in three-point shooting. The Raiders are among the Horizon League leaders with an 8-2 mark (13-8 overall), thanks to a stout defense that leads the conference in fewest points allowed.

The Green Bay Phoenix women's basketball team used a 16-0 run stretching across two periods to guide them to a 66-52 win over Wright State on Thursday.

In addition to the extended run, the Phoenix's defense turned it up a notch, forcing several shot clock violations and caused 13 turnovers including seven steals.

Double-doubles from Jenna Guyer (20 points and 10 rebounds) and Maddy Skorupski (10 points and 11 rebounds) paced the attack for the Phoenix while Meghan Schultz added 12 points. 

After winning their 10th straight game overall and their 13th in the Horizon League, the Phoenix are off until they start a three-game road trip at Robert Morris on Thursday. Game time is at 10 a.m.

The Luxemburg-Casco, Sturgeon Bay/Sevastopol co-op, and Southern Door Eagles will compete in an invitational tournament hosted by Shawano Community on Friday.

Other schools in attendance include Bay Port, Chilton, Clintonville, De Pere, Denmark, Fond du Lac, Fox Valley Lutheran, Freedom, Green Bay Preble, Green Bay West, Hortonville, Kimberly, Lena/STAA, Little Chute, Marinette, Mishicot, Neenah, Oconto Falls, Oshkosh West, Peshtigo, Pulaski, Rosholt, Seymour, Sheboygan North, Sheboygan South, Suring, Two Rivers, Waupaca, Wautoma, West De Pere, Weyauwega-Fremont, Winneconne, Wittenberg-Birnamwood and Xavier.

Wrestling begins at 5 p.m.

The Green Bay Phoenix women's basketball team will try to stay perfect in the Horizon League Thursday night when they welcome the Wright State Raiders to the Kress Events Center.

In their last game, the Phoenix used a 21-10 first quarter to secure their 12th straight Horizon League victory. Slim edges in rebounds (37-34) and forced turnovers (19-16) helped Green Bay fend off any comeback attempts by the Titans. Maddy Skorupski led the Phoenix with 22 points, while Jenna Guyer and Meghan Schultz each chipped in 11.

The Raiders are 6-15 and 2-8 in Horizon League play heading into Thursday's contest. They are trying to snap a five-game losing skid.

Tip-off is set for 6 p.m.

The Green Bay Blizzard continues to make roster updates in preparation for the upcoming 2026 IFL season. The Blizzard have signed quarterback Dimilon Brown, a 6-foot-1, 215-pound signal-caller.

Brown played collegiately at the University of Arkansas at Monticello, a Division II program in the Great American Conference.

In 44 games at UAM, Brown recorded 7,343 passing yards, 53 passing touchdowns, 3,187 rushing yards, and 37 rushing touchdowns. He also caught one pass for seven yards. In 2019, Brown was named GAC Freshman of the Year and earned Division II Top Performer honors. He is UAM’s all-time leader in rushing touchdowns and ranks in the top five in passing yards.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have named former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy as their next head coach, bringing one of the NFL’s most accomplished modern coaches back to the sidelines, and rekindling a familiar connection for fans in Green Bay and Door County.

McCarthy, who maintained a residence in Egg Harbor during his tenure with the Packers, was often seen enjoying the area’s quiet charm during offseasons. His ties to the peninsula made him a familiar figure in Door County while he guided Green Bay through one of the franchise’s most successful eras.

From 2006 to 2018, McCarthy compiled a 125–77–2 regular season record with the Packers and led the team to nine playoff appearances. His crowning achievement came in 2010, when Green Bay captured Super Bowl XLV beating the Pittsburgh Steelers. Interestingly, the very team he now leads. Under McCarthy, quarterback Aaron Rodgers developed into a future Hall of Famer and multiple-time MVP, cementing the Packers as perennial contenders.

For Door County residents, the hire carries a hometown flavor. Many remember McCarthy as more than a Super Bowl coach; he was a quiet neighbor, boating and dining locally during Door County summers. Now, as he begins a new chapter in Pittsburgh, his legacy in Green Bay, and in Door County, remains firmly intact.

Green Bay Phoenix fans were treated to a pair of wins Saturday, with the men avenging an earlier-season loss to Robert Morris with a 71-67 victory and the women cruising to a 72-61 win over Detroit Mercy.

In Moon Township, Pennsylvania, a 12-0 run — capped by back-to-back Cadebn Wilkins 3-pointers — thwarted a comeback attempt by the Colonials after an early surge gave them a 41-40 lead. Robert Morris had trailed 40-33 at halftime. The Colonials hit several late 3-pointers to trim the lead and keep the game in doubt, but the Phoenix held on for the win. C.J. O’Hara led Green Bay with 18 points, while Wilkins and Justin Allen each scored 17.

At the Kress Events Center, the Phoenix used a 21-10 first quarter to secure their 12th straight Horizon League victory. Slim edges in rebounds (37-34) and forced turnovers (19-16) helped Green Bay fend off any comeback attempts by the Titans. Maddy Skorupski led the Phoenix with 22 points, while Jenna Guyer and Meghan Schultz each chipped in 11.

The Phoenix women return to the Kress on Thursday against Wright State, while the men make their Resch Center debut Friday against Cleveland State.

Three was the magic number this weekend at the Resch Center, with the Muskegon Lumberjacks winning the first game 3-2 and the Green Bay Gamblers taking the second game 3-1.

In Friday’s matchup, the Gamblers gave up three unanswered goals after Andrew O’Sullivan opened the scoring with a first-period tally. Gunnar Conboy scored with just under seven minutes remaining to pull the Gamblers closer, but not close enough to force overtime. Leo Henriquez stopped 23 of 26 shots in the loss.

In Saturday’s contest, Cruz Martin kicked off the scoring in the first period before the Lumberjacks tied the game early in the second period. David Rozsíval tallied the eventual game-winner about two minutes later, and Zach Wooten put the game on ice with an empty-netter. Henriquez bounced back in the second game, stopping 24 of the 25 shots he faced.

The Gamblers are back in action Saturday at 6:05 p.m. when they welcome Dubuque.

The Green Bay Packers have reportedly made their decision on a replacement for Jeff Hafley, naming former Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon as their new defensive coordinator.

Gannon is coming off a forgettable tenure as the Cardinals’ head coach, going 15-36 in three seasons at the helm. He earned the job after a successful run as the Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive coordinator. In his final year, the Eagles finished as the eighth-best defense en route to a Super Bowl run that saw them come up just short of a championship.

The Green Bay Gamblers are preparing for a busy weekend as they host back-to-back home games against the Muskegon Lumberjacks.

The Gamblers’ last outing saw them defeat the U.S. National Team Development Program 4-3 in a shootout. Green Bay jumped out to a 3-0 lead thanks to goals from Gavin Katz, David Rozsíval and William Samuelsson. The NTDP rallied to force a shootout, where Katz and Geno Carcone scored to secure the victory.

Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Micah Parsons has been named one of five finalists for the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year award.

The winner will be announced at the NFL Honors ceremony on Thursday, Feb. 5, at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.

Parsons joined the Packers in August via a trade with the Dallas Cowboys. In 14 games with Green Bay, he recorded 41 tackles, 12.5 sacks, 26 quarterback hits and 83 pressures, according to NFL Next Gen Stats.

This marks the fourth time Parsons has been named a finalist for Defensive Player of the Year in his five-year NFL career. He finished second in the voting in each of his first two seasons and third the following year.

The Green Bay Phoenix men's basketball team could never quite get over the hump in its 88-81 loss to Youngstown State on Thursday night.

The Penguins hit 16 three-pointers in the game, including a 7-4 edge in the first half that proved to be the difference in the game. The Phoenix found themselves in a 27-18 deficit before a 9-0 run tied the game. The Penguins grabbed the lead back with a run of their own to take a 38-32 lead into the locker room. They would later extend that lead out to 16 before the Phoenix slowly reeled them back in before running out of time.

 C.J. O'Hara led the Phoenix with 22 points, while Marcus Hall pitched in 20 points and Justin Allen chipped in 14 points. Cris Carroll hit eight three-pointers en route to a game-high 34 points for the Penguins.

The Phoenix wrap up their road trip on Saturday with a 1 p.m. matinee at Robert Morris.

The Green Bay Phoenix women's basketball team led wire-to-wire in their latest Horizon League win, this time beating Oakland 73-59.

The two teams played relatively even the final three quarters, but a 21-9 start to the contest gave the Phoenix an advantage they would not give up. The Golden Grizzlies outrebounded the Phoenix 43-33, but turning the ball over 21 times ended up being their demise. 

The Phoenix had three players score in double figures, led by Maddy Skorupski's 19 points. Carley Duffney scored 12 points, and Jenna Guyer added 10 points in the way. Former Oconto standout Lianna Baxter led the Golden Grizzlies with 16 points.

Ramel Bethea led Green Bay with 11 points, adding two rebounds, one assist, one steal, and four blocks. Marcus Hall and Justin Allen followed with nine points apiece. Preston Ruedinger contributed six points and eight assists.

Tipoff is set for 5:30 p.m.

The Green Bay Packers have agreed to a multiyear contract extension with head coach Matt LaFleur, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. LaFleur’s previous contract was set to expire after this season. Pelissero also reported the Packers are expected to extend contracts for general manager Brian Gutekunst and executive vice president Russ Ball.

Questions had surfaced about LaFleur’s future in Green Bay after the Packers dropped their final five games, including blowing a 21-3 halftime lead in a Wild Card playoff loss to the Chicago Bears.

LaFleur has spent seven seasons as the Packers’ head coach, compiling a 76-40-1 record. He has led Green Bay to three NFC North titles, six playoff appearances and two trips to the NFC Championship Game.

An 11-2 Oakland run to start the second half all but spelled the end of the Green Bay Phoenix men's basketball team's five-game winning streak as they lost to the Golden Grizzlies 88-63.

The Golden Grizzlies shot a blistering 54 percent from the field and outrebounded the Phoenix 42-24 to hold the control over the game. An 8-0 run late in the first half gave Phoenix fans hope for another come-from-behind victory as they narrowed a 30-19 deficit to 37-31 at the break. The hope was short-lived as the Golden Grizzlies outscored the Phoenix 51-32 in the second half to tighten its grip on the Horizon League's second spot. Ramel Bethea led the Phoenix with 11 points, Marcus Hall added nine points, and Preston Ruedinger chipped in six points in the loss. Tuburu Naivalurua (26 points and 10 rebounds) and Isaac Garrett (17 points and 10 rebounds) posted double-doubles to pace the Golden Grizzlies.
 

The Phoenix will head east on their road trip this week with games at Youngstown State on Thursday and Robert Morris on Saturday.

The Green Bay Gamblers rebounded from Saturday's overtime loss to tip Team USA 4-3 in a shootout win on Sunday.

The Gamblers had a 3-0 lead midway through the third period thanks to goals from Gavin Katz, David Rozsíval, and William Samuelsson, but Team USA rattled off a trio of goals in a four-minute span, including a pair from Dayne Beuker. After giving up the three goals, Leo Henriquez shut down Team USA, including stopping both shootout attempts. Katz and Carcone tallied the shootout goals to give the Gamblers the extra point in the standings.

The Gamblers will return to the Resch Center this weekend for a pair of games against Muskegon.

The UW–Green Bay Phoenix men’s basketball team hosts the Oakland Golden Grizzlies on Sunday. Both teams sit second in the Horizon League with 6-2 conference records, just behind Wright State. Oakland is coming off a 73-60 victory over Milwaukee.

O’Malley was selected by Green Bay in the sixth round of the 2021 USHL Draft. Since joining the Gamblers, he has recorded 20 career points, 19 of which are assists. O’Malley has also announced his commitment to Brown University, where he will continue his hockey and academic career.

The Green Bay Gamblers are back in action this Saturday and Sunday when they take on Team USA in Michigan. The puck drops are scheduled for 6 p.m. on Saturday and 3 p.m. on Sunday.

The Green Bay Phoenix men's basketball team continued their attack on the Horizon League with a 88-73 win over Cleveland State.

Going against the best three-point shooting team in the conference, it was the Phoenix that actually had the upperhand from beyond the arc with 15 three-pointers at a 50 percent clip compared to 10 for the host Vikings. Those extra threes came in handy to keep the game close in the first half as they entered the break trailing 40-37 only to see the game flip in the second half.

The Phoenix had four players reach double-figures with Preston Ruedinger narrowly missing a triple-double with 23 points, 10 assists, and seven rebounds. Marcus Hall added 21 points, C.J. O'Hara contributed 16 points, and Justin Allen added 13 points in the win. The Vikings had three players in double figures, led by Tre Beard's 18 points.

The Phoenix men are back home for a Sunday matinee against Oakland at 1 p.m.

The Green Bay Phoenix women's basketball team stayed perfect in the Horizon League on Wednesday night with a 69-57 win over Purdue Fort Wayne.

An 8-0 run midway through the first quarter set the stage for the Phoenix's win over another one of the top teams in the Horizon League. A second 8-0 run in the second quarter put the team on cruise control the rest of the way, using its staunch defense and gritty play in the paint and on the boards as a catalyst. 

Jenna Guyer led the way with 17 points for the Phoenix with Meghan Schultz chipping in 12 points and Gracie Grzesk added another 10 points. 

The Phoenix are 9-0 in the Horizon League for the first time since the 2016-2017 campaign. They will put that mark to the test on Saturday when they travel south to face Milwaukee for a weekend matinee.

While players on the 53-man roster cleaned out their locker on Monday, their teammates on the practice squad signed new contracts with the Green Bay Packers.

The organization announced on Monday the signings of T Brant Banks, DL Dante Barnett, G Karsen Barnhart, DL Anthony Campbell, TE McCallan Castles, T Dalton Cooper, TE Drake Dabney, DL James Ester, K Lucas Havrisik, CB Tyron Herring, LB Jamon Johnson, RB Damien Martinez, S Mark Perry, WR Will Sheppard, RB Pierre Strong Jr. and TE Messiah Swinson to reserve/future contracts according to General Manager Brian Gutekunst.

All of the players finished the season on the Packers' practice squad or spent time on it during the 2025 season, with some earning playing time in regular season games as injuries piled up heading up into the playoffs. 

A team from Green Bay saw an 18 point lead disappear for the second straight day, but the Phoenix men wrote a different script on Sunday, holding on to beat Northern Kentucky 80-78. 

As they did in their two previous games, a hot start shooting from the field gave the Phoenix enough of a cushion to stave off any comeback attempts. Caden Wilkins led the first-half assault with 17 points as the Phoenix jumped out to a 7-0 start and ended the period with a 51-35 halftime lead. The Phoenix would build a 56-37 advantage before the Norse got hot from beyond the arc, trimming the lead to just four points with under five minutes to play. The Phoenix and the Norse traded buckets throughout the final stretch with a last-second three rimming out acting as a sigh of relief for the home crowd.

Justin Allen led all scorers with 27 points to complement Wilkins' first-half heroics while Marcus Hall added 13 points and Preston Ruedinger chipped in nine points in the Phoenix victory. 

The Phoenix play at Cleveland State on Thursday before returning home on Sunday to host Oakland on Sunday at 1 p.m. 

A 21-3 lead at halftime was erased with a 25-point fourth quarter by Caleb Williams and the Bears offense for their second comeback win over Green Bay this season. 

Jordan Love and the offense rolled in the first quarter scoring a touchdown on their first three drives and were in a position to go ahead 24-3, but Brandon McManus missed a 55-year field goal and the lead was held to 18. 

Green Bay then stalled on their next four drives all resulting in punts coming out of halftime meanwhile the Bears managed to put up just a field goal. 

The fourth quarter, Chicago's offense took advantage of a winded defense for GB and brought the game to one score 21-16. 
 

When they needed it most, Love connected with Matthew Golden for his first, and only, touchdown on the season, a 23-yarder putting them ahead 27-16 after McManus missed his second kick of the night this time an extra point. 

McManus would go on to miss another field goal, a 44-yarder, that would've give Green Bay a chance to do damage with a field goal in the final possession, but instead Williams took the short field and connected with D.J. Moore for what would be the game winner. 

Chicago led 31-27 and Green Bay would need a touchdown. 

On their last drive, Love was just a bit off schedule on throws and it came down to one play with 7 seconds remaining, the snap was fumbled, Love picked it up and scrambled throwing up a prayer to the end zone that fell short in front of Bears defenders. 

The second half struggles this season continued and Green Bay's season ends despite a strong effort from Jordan Love and a banged up first-string. Love finished 24/46 for 323 yards and four touchdowns. Watson, Doubs, Reed, and Golden were on the receiving end. 

Regrouping for 2026-27 will begin after Green Bay makes their way back home following the 31-27 loss. Chicago will move on to face either the 2-seeded Philadelphia Eagles or 5-seeded Los Angeles Rams at home next weekend. 

In contrast, Green Bay shot nearly 50 percent from the field and 30 from the big arc behind Jenna Guyer's double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Right behind her was Maddy Skorupski tagging on 18 points and dishing 8 assists. They had 21 assist in the game. 

Detroit Mercy's Jasmine Edwards also had a double-double with 12 points and 12 boards to lead the way for the Titans offense. 

The Pheonix were out-rebounded 42-39, but it didn't matter and they picked up their 8th win in 8 conference games so far this season. 

Next up is hosting the second-place team in the Horizon, Purdue Fort Wayne, at the Kress Center January 14 in line for a 6 p.m. tipoff. 

Continuing their homestand at the Kress Center, UWGB's men (9-8, 4-2) added their third straight win and fifth in their last six games dating back to their December 11 win over IU Indy (4-14, 0-7). Friday night was their second win over Indy this season and came by a score of 75-59.  

The win marks the first time in Doug Gottlieb's two seasons that they hold a winning record. 

Green Bay outshot Indy in every category on their way to a convincing win and keeping their offensive efforts moving in the right direction. 

Preston Ruedinger saw the ball go through at a 50% clip in the game, topping all scorers with 24 including 4-8 from three. As a team, GB out-rebounded Indy especially on the defensive glass, 38-22. 
 

It's a true win by committee as the season's offensive leader Marcus Hall had just 6 points, but was picked up off the bench by LeBron Thomas with 16 and fellow starter C.J. O'Hara adding 14. 

The Phoenix did have 16 turnovers and will look to clean those up when they face Northern Kentucky January 11 with a 1 p.m. tipoff. They currently sit one spot above Green Bay in the Horizon League standings. 

For UW-Green Bay, defending home court has been a bright area this season. Up to this point they are 4-1 at home while 1-6 on the road. Sunday's game is sure to test what the Phoenix have done so far in January. 

The Green Bay Gamblers responded after last weekend’s split with Des Moines, rolling past the Fargo Force 5-1 Friday night at the Resch Center.

Fargo struck first midway through the opening period, but Green Bay answered quickly and seized control. Bienstock evened the score before Knutson gave the Gamblers the lead late in the first to make it 2-1 heading into the break.

Green Bay came out firing in the second, as Gulley scored just 30 seconds in and Hafele added another to stretch the lead to 4-1. The Gamblers dictated the pace defensively, forcing Fargo into tough looks while maintaining consistent offensive pressure.

Rozsíval put the game away with a third-period goal, and Henriquez was sharp in net, stopping 34 of 35 shots. Green Bay will look to carry the momentum into Saturday’s rematch with Fargo as the homestand continues.

One of the NFL’s most storied rivalries takes center stage this weekend as the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears meet in the Wildcard round of the playoffs on Saturday in Chicago. The matchup renews a rivalry that dates back more than a century and remains one of the most heated in professional sports.  Both teams are “backing into” the post-season. The Bears, while winning the division early, lost their final game of the season to San Francisco, while the Packers have dropped their last four games heading into Saturday’s matchup.

Green Bay enters the game with Quarterback Jordan Love confirmed to be returning from concussion protocol after a penalized hit from a Chicago Bears defender three weeks ago in a previous meeting, with back-up Quarterback Malik Willis possibly replacing him on the injured list. Right Tackle Zach Tom also returns on Saturday bolstering the offensive line.  Love and Willis combined to guide Green Bay into the postseason, and this weekend’s clash with Chicago adds another chapter to their growing role in the rivalry.

The Bears, meanwhile, will not be short-handed. Chicago is expected to have its one of its top wide receivers, rookie Rome Odunze back in the lineup, along with two key defensive starters returning from injury, strengthening both sides of the ball as the team looks to play spoiler against its longtime rival.

Historically, the Packers hold the edge in the all-time series, leading the Bears 108-95-6. Green Bay has also enjoyed more championship success, with 13 NFL titles, including four Super Bowl victories, compared to Chicago’s nine championships and one Super Bowl ring.

Ahead of the game, fans will have a chance to show their support before the team even takes the field. Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport is inviting the public to send off the Packers as they depart for Chicago on Friday. Fans are encouraged to arrive before 12:30 p.m. to gather inside the terminal, create signs, and cheer the team on in a respectful, family-friendly atmosphere.

As always when the Packers and Bears meet, pride, history, and bragging rights are on the line, and this time, the stakes are even higher.

Another fast start from the Green Bay Phoenix women's basketball helped them earn the 78-63 road win over Oakland on Thursday.

Jenna Guyer scored 11 of her 20 points in the first quarter, helping turn a slim 8-7 lead into a 21-9 advantage at the first intermission. After allowing the Golden Grizzlies nibble at the deficit in the second quarter, the Phoenix outscored the Golden Grizzlies 21-13 in the third quarter to keep their opponents between 15 and 20 points off the pace until the final minutes of the game.

Maddy Skorupski scored 21 points in her return performance against her former squad while Carley Duffney added 17 points in the win. Angie Smith led a trio of Oakland starters in double figures with 14 points.

The Phoenix battle the Detroit Mercy Titans in a Saturday matinee to close their Michigan swing with a tip-off scheduled for 12 p.m.

The UW–Green Bay women’s basketball team hits the road Thursday to face the Oakland Golden Grizzlies. The Phoenix have started 2026 strong, winning their first two games of the new year, most recently a 64-43 victory over Robert Morris.
