this time it wasn't enough to hold up for a victory as UW-La Crosse
battled back to force a 1-1 tie on Wednesday in La Crosse.
Amanda Prawat dribbled from
midfield and scored off an assist from Erin Walsh just 2:18 into the match
as the Pointers scored a goal in the first 10 minutes for the fifth time
in the past four matches.
However, UW-La Crosse
