Box Score UW-Whitewater ended a string of four games without a win with a 6-2 win at Finlandia University in Hancock, Michigan Sunday.  Six goals is the most UW-W has scored this season, and the most dating back to October 12, 2011 when the Warhawks won 8-0 at Finlandia.

Whitewater had the first four shots on goal in the game, among them Michael Salm (Grafton, Wis. /Grafton)'s first goal of the season, assisted by Max Hey (Hudson/Hudson), at 8:32.  Finlandia's Micah Laban tied it at 19:20.  Kyle Ricely (Lombard, Ill./Glenbard East) earned his first goal at 24:01 to give UW-W the lead back, 2-1, but less than a minute later FU's Adam Arthur knotted the score at 2-2, and that's where is stood at intermission.

The second half was all Whitewater, and it came in a wave.  Jonathon Fischer (Hartland/Arrowhead) gave UW-W the lead for good with his second goal of the season at 77:00.  John Gottwald (South Milwaukee, Wis./South Milwaukee) made it 4-2 with his first goal of the year at the 78:19 mark, and Fischer's second goal of the game at 79:16 upped Whitewater's lead to 5-2.  Ty McCoy (Batavia, Ill./Batavia)'s second score of 2012 ended the scoring at 80:28.  The surge gave UW-W four goals in 3:28.  Finlandia had one shot on goal in the second half, and Warhawk goalie Andrew Bitta (Green Oaks, IL/Libertyville) made the save with 4:41 left in the game.

UW-W out-shot the Lions 23-3 and led in corner kicks 15-3.

Whitewater is 5-4-2 overall and 1-1-1 in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.  Finlandia is 2-7 overall and 0-2 in the WIAC.  The Lions are WIAC members in men's soccer only.
