The Panthers travelled to local rivals UW Madison on Saturday to play the final two games of their league programme against UW Madison and UW Oshkosh.
First up were UW Madison in a hard fought match. It was close over the first 30 minutes with Biedenbender, Jensen and Houston all scoring for the Panthers in answer to three trys from Madison. However from this point Milwaukee pulled away with two more tries from Biedenbender, another from Houston and the final try from Knox giving the Panthers a 41 – 15 victory.
Lineup: (1 – 15)
Hausman, Russell, Galien, Faught, Uher, Arntsen, Bertram, Belmarez, Knox, Houston, Biedenbender, Murphy, Rademacher, Hanson, Welch.
Reserves: Jensen, Mayer, Yuhas, Will
The second game of the afternoon against Oshkosh had to be pulled at half time with the Panthers already 69 – 0 up. Four tries from Caila Ney, three from Brittany Biedenbender and two a piece from Julia Thorne and Tina Gill completely overwhelmed their opponents and with conversions added from Brittany Houston and Shannon Will the 69 – 0 score line just proved too much for their opponents.
Lineup: (1 – 15)
Jensen, Trott, Mayer, Faught, Hausman, Gill, Belmarez, Ney, Houston, Will, Thorne, Johnson, Biedenbender, Martin
Reserves: Arntsen, Bertram, Hanson, Yuhas.
Next week (18th October) the girls play a challenge match against Chicago area women. The following week they have the Collegiate Area Play-offs against a yet to be decided opponent.
