UW-Stevens Point Announces 2004 Football
Schedule
A home
non-conference contest against one of the West Region�s top teams highlights
the 2004 UW-Stevens Point football schedule, which includes two home games
against teams that qualified for last season�s NCAA Division III playoffs.
UW-Stevens Point
will open the season at home with the annual Spud Bowl game against
Tri-State (Ind.) on Sept. 11 before taking on traditional power Linfield
(Ore.) in a non-conference game on Sept. 18 at Goerke Field. The Wildcats
lost their only game this past season to eventual national champion St.
John�s (Minn.) 31-25 in the national quarterfinals. Linfield has an NCAA
record 48 consecutive winning seasons.
�This will be an
exciting game for our fans and a great test for our team,� said UW-Stevens
Point coach John Miech, whose team will play at Linfield in McMinnville,
Ore. in 2005. �The game will add to an always challenging schedule of
conference games. I also like the fact that we don�t have a bye week this
season.�
UW-Stevens Point�s
other non-conference game will be at Waldorf (Iowa) on Sept. 25 in Forest
City, Iowa. Both Linfield and Waldorf are first-time opponents for the
Pointers.
UW-Stevens Point
will open its conference schedule with a homecoming tilt against defending
Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference champion UW-La Crosse on Oct.
2.
Other home games
are set for Oct. 23 against UW-Oshkosh and Nov. 6 against UW-Platteville.
The Pointers enter
the 2004 season with a five-game winning streak after finishing 8-2 last
season and 5-2 in the WIAC.
