Heading into the recess, the Blugolds had a 31-25 lead. The start of the second half was much of the same for the Blugolds, as they kept a lead through the first 10 minutes. At the 9:48 mark, the Falcons took the lead on a Lauren Pellowski three and never looked back. Eau Claire played from behind the rest of the game and was outscored 31-23 in the final nine minutes to give the Falcons the stunning upset. Jodi Lindner (Jr.-Neillsville, Wis.) came off the bench to score 16 points in 20 minutes to lead Eau Claire. Katie Weinberg (So.-Dresser, Wis./St. Croix Falls) chipped in with 12, while the Blugolds' big three of Witt, Heidi Arciszewski (Sr.-Thorp, Wis.) and Hannah Mesick (So.-Chatfield, Minn.) were held to just 26 points combined on eight-of-29 shooting. Five Falcons reached double-figures with Jenna Hanson leading the team with 13 points.
