Pointers
Become School's First Undefeated Team Since 1969
For
the first time ever, the UW-Stevens Point women�s soccer team finished
the regular season unbeaten after posting a 3-0 win over Edgewood Tuesday
night in Madison.
With
its 14-0-2 record, the team is the seventh undefeated squad in UW-Stevens
Point history and the first since the 1969 women�s field hockey team
posted a 9-0-4 record. The other undefeated teams that played at least
seven games were the football team in 1958, 1955 and 1953, and the men�s
basketball team in 1936 and 1933.
Molly Cady started the scoring 14 minutes into the match when
Andrea Spiel sent a cross to the far post that Cady headed in for a 1-0
lead. The one-goal margin stood until halftime, despite the Pointers
holding a 16-1 advantage in shots over the Eagles (5-13).
UW-Stevens Point added another goal just 49 seconds into the second
half when Andrea Oswald took the ball off a short corner and sent a pass
into the box that skipped off Emma-klara Porter�s head and was headed in
by Kelly Fink. The goal was Fink�s sixth straight game with a score and
her 20th of the season, marking the fifth
time a Pointer player has scored 20 goals in a season. Fink also scored 22
goals last year and Marie Muhvic had 20 goals or more the previous three
seasons.
Just over seven minutes later, the Pointers made it 3-0 when Spiel
sent a cross into the box directly to the foot of Porter, who drilled a
shot into the back of the net.
The Pointers held a 27-1 advantage in shots for the match and a
13-1 margin in corner kicks while improving to 37-1-2 over their last 40
regular season contests.
UW-Stevens Point opens postseason play on Tuesday, Nov. 5 when it
hosts UW-Platteville for the sixth straight year in the WIAC quarterfinals
at 3 p.m.
