This past offseason, Kamy Peppler transferred from UW-Milwaukee to UW-Green Bay because she wanted to win in her final collegiate season.The (18-5,13-0) Phoenix have done a lot of winning this season. Theyve won 10 straight game s, and Pepplers leadership has played a huge part in that.I think my mindset's kind of always like doing whatever it really takes to help this team succeed and to win, said the senior point guard.When Peppler first joined the Phoenix last summer, head coach Kayla Karius said her leadership immediately stood out.Shes the first one communicating, shes challenging them to be better, and she doesnt even know what shes challenging them forthats the type of leader, Karius said. Shes such a natural leader; you could tell that from the start.Fueled by the programs past success and being a leader with many new faces on the roster besides herself, Peppler knew the team had to gel quickly.It took a lot of getting in the gym with them, learning what they like and whatnot, and I think thats still growing, Peppler said.That effort has paid off, as the Phoenix have a four-game lead in the Horizon League. Karius also highlighted Pepplers eagerness to learn.Ever since the day she got here, she looked at us and was like, Im a senior, I dont care. I still want to get better. I want to go on and play and potentially coach, Karius said.Pepplers growth has made her the conference leader in assists. According to her coach, in less than a year with UW-Green Bay, shes already left a large imprint.I cant say enough, Karius said. To add a player like her, who has just crossed 1,000 points and 500 assists. What a high-caliber point guard we have leading our program.For Peppler, its means a lot to perform in front of her family, who doesnt miss a home game.They sit right behind the bench, so its cool to see them, she said.Peppler and the Phoenix look for their 11th straight win Thursday at 10 a.m. on the road against (15-7,8-5) Robert Morris. ...read more read less
