Michelle Burns (Sr.-Eau Claire, WI/North) received her 1000th point and finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds. The Blugolds started cold, but Missy Fremstad (Jr.-Osseo, WI/Osseo-Fairchild) nailed two three pointers to give the Blugolds the lead. The Blugolds would lead by 11 at halftime. River Falls attempted a comeback and got within nine, but Rachel Mueggenborg (Sr.-West Salem, WI) came up big with an old fashioned three point play and her signature three pointer to get the lead back in double digits. The Blugolds would end the game with a 19 point lead. Heather Witt (Jr.-Kendall, WI/Royall) chipped in 18 points and four steals. Heidi Arciszewski (Jr.-Thorp, WI) had 13, and Fremstad and Mueggenborg had 11 points. On February 9th, the Falcons came to Eau Claire and were defeated 63-52. River Falls made 12 three pointers in the game, but Burns overpowered the Falcons with a 25 points and 13 rebounds performance.
