Box Score

UW-Whitewater ran its win streak to seven with a 2-1 win at Clarke University in Dubuque Tuesday.

Scoring opportunities were at a premium.  The first shot of the game went in.  Emily Rehfus notched her first of the season to put Clarke on the board.  UW-W's Stacey Schultz (Menomonee Falls/Menomonee Falls) evened the score with her third goal of the season at 15:28 with an assist from Sarah Sedlar (Racine/Case), Sedlar's first assist of the season.  It was Whitewater's only shot in the first half.

There wasn't another shot in the first period until 40:11, when Clarke's Maria Vilar was stopped by Warhawk goalie Emily Haeger (Rolling Meadows, IL/Rolling Meadows).  Almost two minutes later, at 43:24, Vilar went on the attack again, but her shot was high and the teams went into intermission tied 1-1.

In the second half, at 59:44, Becky Please had an opportunity to double Whitewater's score, but Clarke keeper Kaylee Steen made the save.
