Tue, May 21, 2013 No Event(s) Scheduled For Selected Date Women's Basketball Takes Care Of UW-Superior Posted: Wednesday, February 15, 2006 EAU CLAIRE - The UW-Eau Claire women's basketball team cruised to its 38th-straight victory over UW-Superior tonight, winning by a score of 64-43. With the victory the Blugolds improve to 12-12 overall and 7-8 in Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) action. The loss drops the Yellowjackets to 4-19 overall and winless in the conference at 0-15. In a turnover-filled game, the Yellowjackets scored the opening points, but that would be their only lead. The Blugolds would then go on a 12-0 run capped off by a Heidi Arciszewski (Fr.-Thorp, WI) 3-pointer. The Blugolds would lead by as much as 12 (17-5) with 11:14 to go in the half.

Both teams combined for 32 turnovers in the first half, with Superior having the majority with 20. The Blugolds then started the second half with an 8-0 run to extend its lead to 31-14. The Yellowjackets would then go on a 10-0 run to cut the Blugold lead down to seven. However, that would be as close as Superior would get as the Blugolds would go on a 12-0 run to go up 19 with 9:59 to play. The Blugolds would then cruise to victory by a score of 64-43.
