Pointers Beat UW-Oshkosh to Move
Within One Win of WIAC Title
The UW-Stevens Point women�s soccer team took a huge step closer
in claiming its fifth straight Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference title with a 4-0 victory over previously undefeated UW-Oshkosh
Wednesday in Oshkosh.
The Pointers are now 10-1 overall and 6-0 in the WIAC and need a
win in one of their final two matches over UW-Platteville or UW-Stout to
capture at least a share of their ninth conference title in the 10-year history of the league.
A victory in one of the final two matches, combined with a UW-Stout loss,
would also assure the Pointers of home field throughout the WIAC
postseason tournament.
Kelly Fink scored goals in the first 3:25 of each half to set the
tone for the Pointers. Andrea Spiel took a free kick early in the first
half that was headed by Mickey Jacob and scored by Fink for an early 1-0
lead at the 2:36 mark.
 Early in the second half, Jenny Bruce had a breakaway and fed Fink
for a goal from 25 yards out to make it 2-0 Pointers.
UW-Stevens Point added another goal when Titans� goalie Erika
Engel punched the ball away on a shot attempt directly to Bruce, who
passed the ball to Andrea Oswald for an easy goal with 31 minutes left.
Bruce scored the Pointers� fourth goal with just under 27 minutes
left for a 4-0 lead.
UW-Stevens Point outshot the Titans 20-8, including a 13-5 margin
in the second half. The Pointers had two shots off the crossbar in the
second half as well.
