Falcon women edge Dubuque 73-68
Platteville
A balanced offensive attack and hawking defense were the keys to a
73-68 win for CUW (1-1) over Dubuque Saturday afternoon in
Platteville.
Melanie Kulibert (16); Tiff Hendrickson (13); Becky Gifford (12);
and Kendall Kerns (10) all reached double figures for Stacey
Brunner's squad which shot a sizzling 50% (29-58) for the game.
Kulibert, steadily regaining last season's form after returning
from injury, had 4 steals as did Gifford.
Freshman Anna Butler was 4-4 from the line while adding 8 crucial
points to the CUW tally.
"I was proud of how our younger players handled the ups and downs
of the game," said Coach Brunner. "They did not fold under the
pressure and as they get better individually, we will get improve
collectively."
