Football team
wins 100th for Kindbom
Head coach Larry Kindbom picked up career win No. 100 as the Bears posted
their second home shutout of the season with a 37-0 University Athletic Association
victory over Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) Saturday, Sept. 16, at Francis
Field. The Bear defense picked off Spartan quarterback Tom Kauffman on three
consecutive possessions in the first quarter and turned them all into points.
Freshman placekicker Jonathan Feig sandwiched a 26-yard field goal and a 51-yard
blast--ust a yard shy of the school record--round a Mike Henrichs one-yard run
to give WU a 13-0 lead after one quarter. Senior Austin Bredow scored on a one-yard
QB keeper, and senior C.O. West hauled in a 17-yard TD toss from Brian Tatom
to put the Bears up 27-0 at halftime. Feig added his third field goal, tying
the single-game record, on WU's first possession of the second half, and Bredow
scored on a one-yard keeper with four and a half minutes left in the third quarter
to close out the scoring. The Bear defense held CWRU to just 48 rushing yards,
the 14th straight regular season game in which the opposition has been held
to less than 100 yards rushing.
Women win two
It was a bit of a struggle, but the women's soccer team posted two wins with a
pair of victories on the road. Washington U. traveled to Northfield, Minn., and
came away with a 3-1 win at Carleton College Sept. 16. Junior Jessica Glick put
the Bears on the board with a goal in the 10th minute, but Carleton tied it at
1-1 at 35:43. Trisha Young got the game-winner at 65:25, and Glick added an insurance
goal at 70:55. Junior Stephanie Peters went the distance in goal, recording seven
saves, to get the win. Against the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Sunday, Sept.
17, the Bears held a 16-2 edge in shots in the first half but went to the locker
room with a 0-0 tie. Senior Sarah Wood finally put WU on the board with an unassisted
tally in the 67th minute. Glick added her eighth goal of the season at 83:59 to
put the game away. Peters and senior Jamie Rosen split the shutout in the net.
Offense explodes
for men's team
The Bears played their usual stellar defense, limiting Wisconsin-Platteville
to just three shots and one goal Friday, Sept. 15, but this match featured the
explosive offense they had been lacking in the first four contests of the season
as the Bears won, 7-1. Tied 1-1 as late as 10 minutes into the second stanza,
WU scored six goals in the final 33 minutes of the contest. Freshman Steve Bujarski
scored off a pass from senior captain Ian Klaus to break the tie. Bujarski's
goal opened the floodgates for the Bears, as the team took off from there, adding
five more goals to bury the visiting Pioneers.
2-2 in volleyball
The Bears were impressive in the first match each day of the WU National Invitational
Sept. 15 and 16. Unfortunately, follow-up matches resulted in a 2-2 record and
a third-place finish. WU quickly swept St. Francis in the opener Friday, 15-7,
15-8, 15-11. The nightcap versus No. 1 ranked Central College didn't go as well,
as the Bears hit just .115 as a team and dropped to the defending national champions,
3-0 (9-15, 9-15, 2-15). In the third match of the weekend, the Bears ran over
No. 15 Ohio Northern University. WU hit an amazing .518 as a team, led by freshman
Amy Brand's .893 hitting percentage with 25 kills. The Bears finished out the
weekend on a poor note, dropping a four-game match versus University of Wisconsin-River
Falls. The Bears, who dropped the first game but put it together in the second
to hit .684, hit just .138 and .149 in games three and four to fall to No. 5 UW-River
Falls.
Runners at stampede
The women's cross country team took an impressive second-place finish at the Missouri
Southern Stampede last weekend, while the men wrapped up a solid seventh place
finish out of 17 teams. For the women, freshman Emily Lahowetz continued to shine
in her freshman season, taking top Bear honors with an eighth place finish and
a time of 22 minutes, 50.20 seconds over the 6,000 meter course, 1,000 meters
more than the women's usual run. Junior Beth Peterson and senior Susan Chou teamed
up for 10th and 11th place, just six seconds apart.
