WHITEWATER,WIS, — UW-Whitewater, ranked third in the D3hoops.com poll, defeated UW-Eau Claire, ranked twentieth, 60-50 in Kachel Gym of Williams Center in Whitewater, Wisconsin Saturday afternoon.

The victory avenged Whitewater's only loss of the season, a 63-60 game in Eau Claire January 12. With the win UW-W, 19-1 overall, moves in to a tie with UW-Eau Claire, 16-4 overall, with identical 10-1 marks in tne Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

Whitewater, the top scoring team in the WIAC and ranked third in Division III of the National Collegiate Athletic Associaton, was held to a season low offensive output, equaling the 60 the Warhawks scored in the first meeting.

Eau Claire led most of the first half, twice by seven point margins. UW-W tied the game at 20-20 at the 3:05 mark, and went on out-score UW-EC 10-2 to go in to the locker room with a 30-22 lead.

The Blugolds cut the margin back to 32-29 on a three-pointer from Heidi Aarcixzweski at 16:01, but that would prove to be as close as UW-EC would get. The Blugolds were still within seven with 5:49 left, but UW-W kept the margin in double digits the rest of the way, other than a three-point play from Arciszewski at 3:03 when it was eight, 55-47.

UW-W senior center Lindsey Buechner had 12 points and sophomore forward Nicole Bundy 11 to lead the team in scoring. Sophomore center Dana Thompson added a game-high 10 rebounds, and Bundy led both teams with four assists. Buechner moved in to fourth place in career scoring, moving past Bev Podewils (1,066, 1984-87) with her total of 1,076.

Eau Claire junior guard Heidi Arciszewski led all scorer with 17 points, including 6-6 from the free throw line. Backcourt mate Missy Fremstad added 10, and senior forward Michelle Burns 12 for UW-EC.

The defensive struggle was epitomized by the shooting percentages, with Whitewater making 36% of its shots and Eau Claire 33%. Given the defensive pressure, the teams combined for just 25 turnovers (13 EC, 12 WW), but the game may have been won on the boards, where UW-W had a 47-31 advantage.

UW-W upped its win streak to five, and broke Eau Claire's streak of seven consecutive wins.
