move into UW-Platteville territory. Then, following an incomplete pass on
a third-and-10 play from the Pioneers' 36-yard line with 1:00 left,
UW-Platteville was called for a personal foul for hands to the face of the
quarterback. The penalty gave the Pointers and first down at the 21-yard
line and they scored four plays later.
The

high with 88 yards.
After
a scoreless first half, the Pointers scored first when Paul Schmitt
recovered a fumble on the Pioneers' five-yard line and Goodman scored on
the next play with 10:08 left in the third quarter. UW-Platteville tied
the game on a 32-yard pass from Dave Rakow to Ryan Oliverson with 6:23
left in the third quarter.
