Just five days after the two teams met the last time, the result was the same, a 2-0 victory for UW-Whitewater over UW-River Falls Thursday at Fiskum Field in Whitewater.  On October 27 the Warhawks took down the Falcons 2-0 to finish the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference regular season with an unblemished 8-0-0 record.  This time the Warhawks defeated the Falcons to advance to the WIAC championship game.  UW-W improves to 14-4-1 while River Falls finishes the season 9-8-3.

Just like the last time they met, UW-W scored a goal in each half.  This time it was Chrissy Tooren (Hoffman Estates, IL/Hoffman Estates) doing the damage scoring both goals.  Her first goal came at 8:49 off of a pass from Jessica Allemang (Wauwatosa/West).  The second goal was unassisted and came at 83:07.  Tooren has a team-high twelve goals this season.

Jordan Myers (Aurora, IL/Waubonsie Valley) earned her sixth shutout of the season playing the entire game in goal for the Warhawks and making four saves.  Myers, a sophomore, has eleven career shutouts and is tied for third in the UW-W record book for career shutouts.

The Warhawks possessed the ball for much of the game and outshot the visitors 22-13.  The Warhawks withstood an increase in pressure by the Falcons in the second half but maintained the shutout.  UW-W also earned six corner kicks to River Falls' three.

The Warhawks advance to the WIAC tournament championship game on November 3 against UW-Stevens Point at 1:00 pm at Fiskum Field in Whitewater.  The game is a rematch of the 2010 WIAC title game in which the Pointers took home the crown after a 1-0 win.  The winner of the WIAC tournament earns the conference's automatic berth into the NCAA Division III championship.  This is Whitewater's third consecutive, and ever, appearance in the championship game, a game they have never won.
