over St. Benedict Saturday at the Pointer Soccer Bowl.
The Pointers, ranked third in

region.
UW-Stevens Point jumped out to
a 2-0 lead with goals by Jenny Bruce at 16:45 and Molly Cady with an
assist from Bruce at the 26:45 mark.
St. Benedict rallied with a
goal in the final two minutes of the first half and then scored again 16
minutes into the second half to tie the game.
However, UW-Stevens Point
rallied just seven minutes later when Bruce fed Kelly Fink for a goal at
the 68:20 mark. Freshman Megan Frey added the final scoring with a goal at
the 77:30 mark.
UW-Stevens Point outshot the
Blazers 27-19 and Pointers� goalie Brianna Hyslop had 10 saves.
