BB: WIAC: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[badgerwarhawk]

WARHAWKS: 3
Concordia-Wi.: 0

The WARHAWKS scored all three runs in the sixth inning.  Consecutive singles by Nic Kuhlmann, Dylan Friend and Mikole Pierce started the inning.  A throwing error on Pierce's single allowed Kuhlmann to score and back to back sac flies by Michael Gonzalez and Casey Power each drove in runs.  Scott Plaza threw the first four innings allowing a single hit and striking out 5.  Donnie Manke pitched the next three innings allowing 2 hits and striking out a pair to pick up his first win of the season.  Mike Nompleggi pitched one inning giving up a hit.  John Olejniczak faced two batters walking one and Austin Finn finished the final inning striking out a batter and picking up a save. 

Originally scheduled as a doubleheader only one game was played by mutual agreement of the two teams.

Can a third place team from Wiac get regional berth?

[badgerwarhawk]

Yes, if they win the automatic bid.  But from what I can find online it hasn't happened for at least the past decade.

Officially, UW-Superior leaves the WIAC for the UMAC in 2015-16. Except for ice hockey.

Can anyone shed light on the roster limitations for Regionals? It appears to be a max of 25, but the existing roster remains for the WIAC tournament . . . is that correct?

[badgerwarhawk]

Yes, that is correct.  WIAC rules apply to rosters for the conference tournament which limit them to 30.  NCAA rules apply to the postseason tournament which limit rosters to 25.

Let them find some other league to play hockey in.  Neither our men's or women's league has enough teams to earn an automatic bid so their leaving wouldn't impact either.  It doesn't seem right that they should be able to pick and chose which sports they want to be a league member of.  Because of the relative lack of hockey programs in the state they'd probably end up scheduling teams from our league to fill out their schedule anyway.  So let them function as an independent or find another league to join.

Your issue is with the conference then, not UW-Superior. They asked if they can stay for hockey and the WIAC said yes. They could have said no and made them survive as an independent if they wanted to. With WIAC hockey just through one year as it's own stand alone league it's not surprising that the WIAC wanted the stability of a quality UWS team.

Just want to be sure your criticism is directed to the right place.

How the hell did UWW win that game? I guess I'm the horrible fan that turned the live stats off in the 9th thinking they whiffed in that game.

Best offense Wiac has seen since Jorgensen brothers at oshkosh

You do realize the Jorgensen brothers careers never overlapped don't you?

[ShineTime]

Yes by no means am I saying whitewater is better than the Oshkosh 80s teams but they appear unstoppable.

[ShineTime]

Is point getting into regionals if lacrosse gets automatic bid?  Whitewater is obviously a lock regardless.

Looks like LaCrosse is having some success slowing down the unstoppable offense tonight...

Good job, Eagles. Don't let up.
