Pointers
Snap UW-Whitewater's Streak, But Fall in Four Games
The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point may not have pulled off a
match victory Tuesday night in its Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference tournament opener, but the Pointers still managed to pull off
an upset, earning a game off UW-Whitewater to snap the Warhawks' 47-game
win streak.
UW-Whitewater, which is ranked No. 2 in the NCAA Division III, won
the match
15-1, 15-10, 8-15, 15-0 to improve to 34-1 overall
and earn the right to host this weekend's conference semifinals and
finals. The Warhawks will face fifth-seeded UW-Platteville, while
third-seeded UW-Oshkosh meets second-seeded UW-River Falls.
Raina Gagnow led the Pointers with 15 digs, 13 kills and no hitting
errors. Chrissy Klipstine and Carry Boehning also had error-free nights as
Klipstine had 10 kills and Boehning finished with eight kills. Lucy Fisher
totaled 32 assists and nine digs for UW-Stevens Point.
The Pointers ended their season at 12-22 overall and became just
the fifth team this season in 35 matches to win a game from the Warhawks.
