University of Wisconsin-Whitewater senior forward became the all-time leading scorer in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in the Warhawks’ 82-72 win over UW-Platteville Wednesday night.
Grundahl scored 14 points to break the WIAC scoring record of 1,834 previously held by Arlene Meinholz of UW-Eau Claire since 1995. The senior now has 1,835 career points.
Wednesday’s game was the team’s annual Play4Kay game. This year, with the help of game sponsor UW Credit Union, UW-Whitewater will be donating over $1,000 to the Kay Vow Cancer Fund.
After a high-scoring first quarter, UW-Platteville took a four-point lead into the second, 24-20. The Warhawks responded with a huge second quarter, bolstered by a late run, to reclaim the lead by the break. Lunden Alexander knocked down a triple off a Grundahl assist to set the tone in the quarter. By the midway point of the period, UWW had reclaimed the lead, 33-31. From that point, the Warhawks went on an 11-5 run to take a 44-36 lead into halftime.
The teams were even through the third, each dropping in 19 points in the quarter. The Warhawks held the lead the rest of the way sealing the game from the charity stripe.
In her first game back from injury, Kacie Carollo paced UWW with a double-double scoring 22 points and hauling in 13 rebounds. The junior hit 3-6 from long range and was 7-9 from the free throw line adding four steals, two assists and a blocked shot in 38 minutes played. Alexander added 15 points bolstered by 5-6 from the charity stripe while adding six assists.
With the win, the Warhawks clinched the number two seed in the WIAC Tournament. UWW is one game back with one game left in the regular season, but UW-Oshkosh holds the tiebreaker for the top seed. UW-Whitewater will receive a first round bye in the tournament and will host the highest remaining seed Wednesday, February 21 at 7 p.m.
