The Falcons hosted the Warhawks of UW-Whitewater Saturday afternoon at the Karges Center. The game was the last conference, regular-season game for UWRF. Unable to fend off the 7th ranked UWW, the Falcons fell to the Warhawks, 68-56.

After Alise Holst left the game with an injury just one minute into play, the Falcons struggled to gain control from the Warhawks the rest of the game.

Taylor House lead the Falcons with 15 points and six rebounds. She shot 7-15 from the field and 1-1 from the free throw line. She also ended the evening with four blocks.

Tiffany Gregorich and Maranda Dohrn finished with nine and seven points respectively. Gregorich shot 3-11 from the field, 1-5 from the three-point line and 2-2 from the charity stripe. Dohrn went 3-7 from the field and 1-1 from beyond the arc. Gregorich had three rebounds, and Dohrn finished with seven.

Other scorers for the Falcons included: Jenna Hanson and Tess Lardie with six, Kelli Hilt and Katie Theisen with four, and Tessa Rohl and Lauren Pellowski with three and two respectively.

For Whitewater, Tiffany Morton had a huge double-double with 20 points and 19 rebounds that proved too much for UWRF to handle. Kelsey Hendrickson added 14 points, shooting 4-8 from the three-point line. Heidi Sontag shot 3-7 from the field and 3-5 from three-point land for nine points, as well.

As a team, the Falcons shot 25-61 (41.0 percent) from the field, 2-12 (16.7 percent) from the three-point line and 4-5 (80.0 percent) from the free throw line. UWRF had 14 turnovers to the UWW’s 16 and 11 steals to the Warhawk’s three.

The Falcons finish 7-9 in the WIAC and 14-11 overall. UWW ends up 13-3 in conference play and 22-3 overall.

UWRF will play at either UW-Stout or UW-Eau Claire on Tuesday for the first round of playoffs. The location depends on the outcomes of today’s remaining games.
