WOMEN’S SOCCER … Warhawks Top La Crosse 3-2
The UW-Whitewater women's soccer team extended its win streak to four games, and five of the last six, with a 3-2 win over UW-La Crosse Saturday night at Fiskum Field in Whitewater.
UW-L goalie Sagan Pizzingrilli stopped a shot by Sarah Sedlar at 13:54, the first of Whitewater's 15-6 margin in shots in the game. But it was the Eagles that got on the board first, with Kirsten Anderson scoring her first goal of the season at 18:03.
Christina Tooren, at 18:51, and Kaitlyn Fritsch, at 29:48, tested Pizzingrilli again, but were held off the scoreboard until Alyssa Chamberlain, assisted by Tooren, got the Warhawks on the scoreboard at 34:57 to knot the score.
Whitewater's Jordan Myers came up with a save at 39:23, and Pizzingrilli denied Erin Mrazek at 43:09 to send the teams into halftime 1-1.
Tooren got another assist as Whitewater took the lead off the foot of Jenna Woodson, netting a goal at 46:24.
Kelly Denk of La Crosse knotted it again, at 2-2, with a goal at 54:01.
Less than two minutes later, at 55:34, Tooren put in what proved to be the game winner with an assist by Jenna Woodson. But that wasn't the end of the action, as UW-W pressed the action. Tooren tested Pizzingrilli at 57:06, Natalie Lechner did at 60:49, and Jenna Woodson put a shot on net at 67:44. UW-L's Katie Tharp made a bid to tie the game at 76:24, but Myers preserved the lead, and the win.
Whitewater led in corner kicks 6-2, and both teams had one offsides call.
UW-W is 5-3-0 overall and 2-0-0 in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. UW-L is 3-4-1 overall and 1-1-1 in the WIAC. The Warhawks will host Carroll University at Fiskum Field at 7:00 Tuesday. Fiskum Field is on the north end of campus. Parking is adjacent to the field.
