Youngstown State Vanessa Buman (#12), Katie Koerper (#14), Maddie Yoss (#16) MAKING HISTORY IN THE 2018 SEASON The Green Bay volleyball team made history on October 13, 2018, when they defeated Youngstown State in straight sets to mark a new program record win streak: seven in a row. On October 26, they extended that to ten. The streak of ten-consecutive match wins in a row is the most in the Division I era (first season was 1988) at Green Bay, and surpassed the team that won nine in a row back in 1987. Along with the record-breaking wins, the Phoenix won their first-ever regular season Championship, also marking a perfect 8-0 at home this season, not including their two additional wins while hosting the Horizon League Tournament. After winning the Horizon League Tournament, Green Bay earned an automatic bid to the 2018 NCAA Division I Volleyball Tournament, their first berth since 2003 and second-ever in program history.
