Jenny Bruce scored or assisted on all five of UW-Stevens Point�s second half goals as the Pointers advanced into the semifinals of the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference tournament with a 6-0 win over UW-Platteville Tuesday at the Pointer Soccer Bowl.

Picture (166x208, 21Kb) Bruce scored a goal just 1:23 into the second half off a pass from Mickey Jacob to give the Pointers a 2-0 lead at the time. Eight minutes later, she found Alyssa Souza in front of the net and then later sent a cross that Kelly Fink headed in to give the Pointers a 4-0 lead.

Bruce scored a breakaway goal with an assist from Melissa Becker at the 72:31 mark and two minutes later, Becker scored her first goal of the season off a corner kick by Bruce for a 6-0 advantage. Bruce�s three assists tie an all-time WIAC tournament single-match record.

The Pointers led just 1-0 at halftime as Fink scored the lone first half goal with an assist from Jacob. The sophomore now has 21 goals this season, making her just the second player in UW-Stevens Point history to score over 20 goals in a season. Marie Muhvic accomplished the feat three times.

The Pointers held a 28-0 advantage in shots, firing 14 attempts in each half.

UW-Stevens Point will host fifth-seed UW-Whitewater Friday at 11 a.m. in the semifinals. The Warhawks won at UW-La Crosse 2-1 on Tuesday. UW-Oshkosh and UW-Eau Claire will meet in the other semifinal at 2 p.m. The championship match is set for Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Pointer Soccer Bowl.
