Defensive Effort Leads Pointers Past Macalester
The UW-Stevens Point women�s soccer team completed
its regular season with its best record in school history by posting a 2-0
win over Macalester Sunday at the Pointer Soccer Bowl.
 The Pointers used a strong
defensive effort to earn the win, holding Macalester to just five shots on
goal in the victory. The win marked UW-Stevens Point�s ninth shutout in
its last 11 matches.
UW-Stevens Point improved to 14-1 and is ranked 10th
in the NCAA Division III rankings. Macalester, which is ranked 21st in the
country, had its seven-match winning streak snapped and fell to 12-3. The
Scots were in the Division III championship match two of the past three seasons.
Kelly Fink scored her 19th goal of the season and
50th goal of her two-year career just 6:57 into the match. Fink, who
scored 31 goals last season at Concordia (Wis.), rebounded a shot from
Molly Cady that bounced off the crossbar and onto Fink�s foot.
The Pointers took a 2-0 lead in the second half with
24:10 left when Rochelle Menard took a free kick 30 yards away and Cady
headed it in for her 11th goal of the season.
UW-Stevens Point held a 13-5 advantage in shots and
Macalester goalie Lisa Bauer made six saves for the Scots. Pointers�
goalie Brianna Hyslop made one save for the shutout.
The Pointers have now won 15 straight home matches
and 33 of their last 35 at the Pointer Soccer Bowl. UW-Stevens Point will
have home field for the entire WIAC tournament next week, beginning
Tuesday at 3 p.m. against UW-Platteville.
