Sun, May 19, 2013 No Event(s) Scheduled For Selected Date strong Second Half In Victory For Women's Basketball Posted: Wednesday, February 8, 2006 EAU CLAIRE - The UW-Eau Claire women's basketball team outscored UW-River Falls 30-11 in the second half on its way to a 56-32 victory over the Falcons tonight. The victory gives the Blugolds an 11-11 overall record and a 6-7 conference record. The Falcons fall to an 11-12 record overall and are now 7-7 in the conference.
