GREEN BAY — The Green Bay Phoenix women’s soccer squad continued its unbeaten run on Thursday night, beating Chicago State 3-0 at Aldo Santaga Stadium. The victory moved the Phoenix to a 5-0-2 overall record and a 2-0-2 mark in non‑conference play.
Game recap
Early pressure paid off when junior midfielder Jess Howard intercepted a Cougars pass, launched a fast break and slipped the ball past the Chicago State keeper in the 14th minute. The early goal set the tone for Green Bay’s aggressive approach.
Just before halftime, forward Allison Raasch delivered a precise ball to the top of the box for Bella Brozek, who calmly placed the strike into the upper right corner, extending the lead to 2-0.
The second half opened with the same intensity. Brozek again read a Cougars turnover, fed a quick counter‑attack to Claire Paschke, and Paschke celebrated her first goal of the season, sealing a 3-0 advantage.
Chicago State pressed late, but Phoenix goalkeeper Kamila Aguilar made several key saves to preserve the clean sheet.
Coach Kagan’s comments
Head coach Matt Kagan praised his team’s effort, saying, “Tonight we asserted ourselves especially in the second half and created a lot of chances. We had a lot of players get in the game tonight, and I am very proud of the team and their commitment to finish out the non‑conference schedule strong.”
Looking ahead
Green Bay now has a week off before entering Horizon League competition. The Phoenix will travel to DeKalb, Illinois, to face Northern Illinois on Saturday, Sept. 19, at 1 p.m., kicking off league play.
The win reinforces Green Bay’s defensive solidity and growing offensive depth, key factors as the team prepares for its first conference match of the season.
