The Panthers are coming off a successful week, securing three wins, including a home victory against Green Bay and two road wins against Purdue Fort Wayne. Natalie Schmitz led the team with 46 kills last week, while Madi Malone contributed 34 kills. Defensively, Milwaukee excelled with an average of over 18 digs per set.

Robert Morris enters the weekend with a 4-10 record in league play and hopes to keep its playoff aspirations alive after going 1-2 last week. A win for Milwaukee this weekend would secure them a first-round bye and a top-two seed in the Horizon League Championship.

Looking ahead, Milwaukee will host Cleveland State next week for their final regular-season games. These matches will feature special events like 'Alumni Day' and 'Senior Day'.

Natalie Schmitz was recently honored as the Horizon League Player of the Week following her impressive performance with 46 kills over three matches. Additionally, Kara Erdmann reached a milestone of 1,000 career digs during last week's games.

Head Coach Susie Johnson celebrated her 300th win as head coach after Milwaukee's victory over Green Bay on October 29. Meanwhile, the program achieved its 600th Division I level win following their triumph over Youngstown State on October 26.

Madi Malone has also been making headlines by setting new records in attacking attempts and sets played throughout her career at Milwaukee.

As they approach their final regular-season games, the Panthers continue to showcase strong performances across various aspects of play.
