The Student Government Association (SGA)
will be holding an open fo- .
rum on the possible segregated fee increase this
Thursday, Nov. 7 at 6:30
p.m. in the University Center (UC) Wright Lounge.
Segregated fees annually fund groups on campus. These fees also support athletics, theater productions, Schmeekle Reserve and some non-annually funded organizations.
Without this increase, student organizations could be
)ooking at a 15 to 20 percent cut in their annual
-.budgets. If passed through
the student senate, students
would be looking at a raise
of $19 over the next four
years.
SGA is asking for student thoughts on this issue.
Senators have already mass
e-mailed over 3,000 students on campus asking for
student opinions.
"It is imperative that we
receive student input on
this issue. This directly
effects student tuition dollars and how that money is
used," said SGA President
Jessica Hussin.
"We need students to
show up and let the senate
know how they feel on this
issue," said Speaker of the
Senate, Toni Daddato. "We
need the room filled with
students so that the senate
can make an informed decision on their behalf."
If students are unable to
attend the open forum and
have questions, they can
call 346-4037 or e-mail

Many memories dwell within the walls of Nelson Hall
By Mike Beacom
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Tucked away in the
southeastern corner of
campus, .Nelson Hall can
go almost unnoticed during
a students' stay at OWStevens Point.
Now used to -provide office space to needing functions and organizations,
Nelson Hall may appear to
be just another old bllilding on the block.
But within the hall lie
the echoes of its historic.
·past and the whispers of the
men and women who
called the hall a place of
employment, or simply
home.
Echoes still exist of
hundreds of anti-war
movement students, who
in 1970, took over the hall
and demonstrated a sit-in
for several days.
Echoes still exist of
Trouble. Not trouble of the
copventional kind, but
rather Trouble the stray dog
who became the pet of the
women residents in 1942.
With little remodeling
done to its exterior and interior since its construction
in 1916, Nelson Hall looks
today very much like it did
years ago.
Dirty bricks, hand
picked by the man for
which the hall was named,
George B. Nelson, and an
enormous porch still holding up a wooden porch
swing, accent the facade of
the building.
Nelson, the first ever
member of the State Su. preme Court from Portage
County, worked long and
hard as a member of the
state board of regents to
convince state legislatures
to build the hall for UW-
Stevens Point, known simply in those times as the
Stevens Point State Normal
School.
Built by architect Gerrit
deGelleke, the $100,000
project at the time is
the oldest remaining dormitory in the Wisconsin
state schools system, with
the exception of OWMadison.
Former residents have
fond memories of their stay.
· "(Nelson Hall) was really a nice place to live,"
said Sylvia Reinholdt, who
lived in the dormitory from
the fall of 1949 to the

Leopold Award honors
environmental pr,ofessor
The AI do Leopold Award was
presented to Dan Sivek, associate professor of environmental
education at UW-Stevens Point.
The award is the highest
honor of the Wisconsin Association for Environmental Education (WAEE) and recognizes
Sivek for long-term exemplary
· service to the field of environmental education and to the as- ·
sociation. It was presented at
WAEE' s annual conference at the
Rosholt Lion's Camp.
He has served as a board
member, vice president, and
president for WAEE and has presented at over half of the
organization's annual conferences in the past 18 years, has
chaired two of its state confer- '
ences, and served on the committees of two Midwest Environmental Education conferences.
Sivek offers outreach programs to Wisconsin teachers and
students through the Center for
Environmental Education at UW~
Stevens Point. He also teaches
upper-level and graduate courses
in environmental education, including a popular environmental
action conference for high school
students and a summer master's
degree program for teachers.
He received his bachelor's degree at UW-Stevens Point and his
master's and doctorate at Southern Illinois University at
Carbondale. He is the son of
Frank and Elsie Sivek of Mauston.
Yes you can! Why? Because all the courses you take abroad count exactly the same as the courses
that you take here on campus! You receive at least 12 UWSP credits for your semester abroad.
Most of the courses are humanities/social sciences but natural resource, psychology and even
math classes re sometimes available. Writing emphasis, environmental literacy classes, GDRs etc.
are also options. You are not taking a semester off! (Ypur parents will be happy to know that!)
Certainly planning ahead gives you a better chance of being sure that all the classes you take
overseas fit in your schedule, but it's never to late to do yourself a favor by adding international
..y,,.. ,.,,..n,,...c to
resume.
Again, all UWSP's Semesters Abroad are inclusive "package" programs with room, board,
international airfare, Wisconsin Resident tuition, lots of travel and more. You are not required to
transfer schools, your financial aid remains intact. The application can be completed in a week and
we help you get your passport and arrange your airfare. Really, it's much easier to be on your way
to exciting destinations than most people think.
This is an investment in your future no less than getting a college education.

O'Neal, Robinson not Morby rebukes G·oulet's letter
·y et ·worthy of honor
By Mike Beacom
. EDITOR IN CHIEF
A week ago, the National Basketball Association helped celebrate
their 50th anniversary by selecting their top 50 players to ever play
the game list.
I found myself nodding at each selection until I reached the names
of two players currently still in the NBA; Shaquille O'Neal and David
Robinson.
Who is the NBA trying to fool?
.
If these two belong in the same group as the likes of Bill Russell,
Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Earvin "Magic" Johnson,
'Larry Bird and Michael Jordan, I would very much like to see the
criteria by which each player is judged.
Shaquille O'Neal has only played four full seasons. He has not
won a championship, scoring title or fully developed his all-around
game yet, and the NBA' s panel of 50 players, executives and sportswriters wants to induct him into the game of basketball's most distinguished class.
His admittance into the group is based solely on projection. If the
Los Angeles Lakers' center were to sustain a career-ending injury
tomorrow, would what he has accomplished, up to this point, be sufficient enough to place him .on the top 75 players list in 25 years?
Definitely not.
· · Sure, chances are when O'Neal walks away from the game in ten
or so years, he will have established himself as an all-time great. But
acknowledge his accomplishments then, not before he achieves elite
success.
As for Robinson, "The Admiral" has had a productive career in
the paint for San Antonio, but whether his career ranks him with the
50 best, I'm not quite convinced.
It was not like the list needed two more quality names to reach
the 50 mark either. Several key players with far more illustrious (and
more importantly complete) careers were no where to be found on
the long list.
Dominique Wilkins was at one time ranked with Bird, Johnson
and Jordan as the best in the game during the ea;ly '80s. Wilkins
competed on nine all-star teams and averaged more than 25 points
per game for thirteen seasons. "The human highlight film" also helped
to raise the game's excitement level up a notch.
Bob Lanier was as tough of a center as the '70s and early '80s
witnessed. Lanier battled Jabbar, Bill Walton, Robert Parrish and
others as a member of the Detroit Pistons and Milwaukee Bucks.
Dennis Johnson was a part of three Boston Celtics championship
teams. The guard was a six-time all-defensive team member and was
labeled by Bird as the best player he had ever played with.
O'Neal and Robinson may someday earn their way onto the list
of the NBA's top 50 players, but until they do, leave their names off.

Dear Editor:
Three weeks ago I wrote an
editorial drawing attention to the
.policy on computer Jab use for
students. Last week Dan Goulet
attacked the "responsibility of my
journalism."
The fact is, the report printed
in The Pointer wasn't even conducted by Mr. Goulet.
Mr. Goulet wrote about hearsay rather than investigating the
situation himself. Mr. Goulet
wasn't present during the incident.
When I wrote the editorial
entitled "Computer policy in
question," I specifically did not
include the name of the instr:uctor who violated University procedure.
I put the emphasis of my article on the p<;>licy in question
rather than the instructor in question.
Those who read both articles
may be confused by Mr. Goulet's
remarks. One week Mr. Goulet
said, "there is no written policy
allowing a professor the right to
kick a student out of a computer
lab while there is a class in
progress."
A week later when Mr. Goulet
learned that professor Penefiel
destroyed my paper and kicked
me out of a computer lab, he said,
"Was professor Penefiel guilty of
an abuse of power? I think not."
Whew! And you thought
politicians were bad. It's too bad
certain big wigs in the hallowed
halls of Old Main can't get their
ideas straight.
Unfortunately this is a shining example of the way certain
administrators at UW-Stevens
Point sidestep issues and try to
attack the character of the students who campaign for fairness.
By clouding the water with
misinformation, Mr. Goulet illustrates his ineptitude as an admin·
istrator.
My article was filled with
facts and issues; facts written in
the handbook this University is
supposed to follow and ·issues
about pQ}icy and procedures. Mr.
Goulet's reply w_as filled with
senseless opinion and attacks on
my character.
For the record I will not
apologize to Professor Penefiel.
Instructors that violate University
policy, are rude to students, and
destroy the creative work of students do not deserve apologies.
Hopefully students and faculty
can now concentrate on the issue
at hand; the implementation of
a new computer lab policy.

Gypsy moth plague continues to move west
By Charlie Sensenbrenner
CoNTRIBUTOR
The bony branches ofleafless
trees are a common sight this time
of year in Wisconsin.
However, recent surveys suggest that an outbreak of leaf-eating caterpillars could make even
the hot months of summer shadefree.
The Wisconsin Cooperative
Gypsy Moth Program reported
finding 88,00 I moths in the
50,000 traps they placed throughout the state this year; those were
-only the romantic males. Female
moths are unable to fly, and therefore never get caught.
As with most environmentally
destructive species, the gypsy
moth is not native to our country.
A French immigrant named E.
Leopold Trouvelot brought European specimens of the moth with
him across the ocean in an attempt
to find an alternative source for
silk by breeding them with silkworms.
His experiments failed, and in
- 1869 the moths escaped
Trouvelot's Massachusetts home.
Recognizing his mistake,
Trouvelot immediately informed
area entomologists, but no corrective action was taken.
A decade later, the insects had
infested over 400 square miles
surrounding his home in the Boston suburb of Medford.
Ever since that fateful year,
the moth has continued its westward expansion and left millions
of defoliated acres in its wake.
Nature
t:a\\s
OUTDOORS EDITOR
In my continuing effort to educate the public about strange animals that few believe exist, I have come up with, I mean, discovered
another one.
I 'first heard about this animal while working this past summer up
in Tomahawk. In fact, I was fortunate enough to experience itfirst
hand.
I happened to be walking in a park near the Wisconsin River just
enjoying the day. And it was a nice day. It was about seventy degrees, sunny, with no wind, when the most peculiar thing occured.
An incredible gust of wind rushed past me, nearly knocking me over.
Well, I noticed an oldtimer sitting on a park bench only a few
feet away and after I steadied myself, I walked over to him.
"Did you just feel a breeze?"
"Sure did, Sonny. Always happens about this time of year," he
said looking at his wrist. He didn't have a watch.
In 1990, the gypsy moth appeared in Wisconsin forests. Professionals studying the extent of
the moth's expansion for the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture
and Trade & Consumer Protection agency predicted that the
population count would drop after last winter's sub-zero temperatures.
The .numbers did fall slightly
from the previous year's all-time
high of 104,918.
Unfortunately, heavy blankets
of snow protected many of the
vulnerable eggs and the moths actually expanded their range.
Portage County alone has
gone from 5 moths trapped in
1994 to 1,241 in '-96. Trappers
also reported finding numerous
egg ma~ses during the survey pe-
riod and expect 1997 to be even
worse.
"The area in which we are seeing significant m9th catches has
grow-n," commen~ed Lee Lovett,
chief of the Plant & Pest Disease
Control Section for the Department of Agriculture. "The playing field has definitely widened."
According to a member of the
Gypsy Moth Staff, the destructive
appetite of the caterpillars leaves
the trees of an infested area almost
bare. This can be clearly witnessed by plane in Eastern Wisconsin.
The moths are indiscriminate.
in their selection and will target
over 300 different species of
trees.
Besides stripping the leaves
off our trees, the waste produced
"So ... what is it?"
"Shhh. You mean you don't know!? Don't let it hear you say
that!"
"Huh? There was also this sound, like a chirping bird or something."
"Did it sound like an eep?"
"Uh, sure, I guess." . He then made a real high pitcbed squeak,
that sounded like 'eep.' (Go ahead, try it. It's fun.) The only thing
was that the guy didn't stop making the sound.
In the next few minutes, it seemed to me that tlie man was slipping Into an altered state of consciousness as he began to rant and
rave about a creature that could run like the wind, cast spells on
people and was responsible for the start of the Civil War.
"It's called the wild eep," he said as he cautiously peered in all
directions like he expected to see KGB agents moving in.
"The wild eep," I said.
"That's right, but don't say it too loud. If they hear their own
name, they go berserk."
"Is that so?"
I started to walk away, but the old man grabbed my arm. "There's
another thing. The wild eep's originally from Australia and it's got
this huge tail."
"What does it do, whip people with it?" I said sarcastically.
The man looked like he had seen a ghost. "You know about that?"
"Oh yeah, who doesn't?"
This clearly threw the old man for a loop. He stood up and started
to walk away without a word. He had gone perhaps 20 yards when
a gust of wind suddenly blew by me. In a moment, it reached the old
man. As I watched, his legs were swept out from under him, and he
landed on his back. Shortly, another man walked by, and he glanced
at the man on the ground.
"Got ya again, huh?"
"Shut up."
The Gypsy Moth
by millions of caterpillars in an
outbreak is capable of causing
respiratory problems and allergic
reactions in people.
A naturally occurring fungus,
Entomophaga, that specifically
attacks gypsy moth larvae, is
sprayed iri early summer to combat their numbers.
Sprayed sections i~ infested
areas can be easily pointed out
through aerial observation with
healthy leaves still intact.
Pherome, a synthetically reproduced hormone, is distributed
in gypsy ranges in an attempt to
disrupt the breeding process . .
Its presence confuses male
moths enough that they lose their
ability to locate receptive females.
Due to the immobility of egglaying females, the expansion of
the moth's range is naturally
slow, at only a few miles per year.
However, they have been
greatly aided in the past 40 years
through human activity.
Females attach small, tan
masses with 500 or more eggs on
sheltered surfaces such as cars,
Christmas trees, logs, or lawn furniture. Eventually the eggs are ina~vertently transported to new
areas, hatched, a~d a new outbreak begins.
In an attempt to halt further
expansion, a federal insect quarantine has been issued across
much of the eastern states, includ- ·
ing the counties of Northeastern
Wisconsin.

Gun safety on campus Managing deer for a quality herd
By Scott Van Natta
By Hilde Henkel
OUTDOORS EDITOR
CoNTRIBUTOR
November in Wisconsin means elections, Thanksgiving and deer
season, not necessarily in order of importance.
As hunters prepare for !he fall ritual of deer hunting, they should
review state ,hunting regulations, check shooting times and the condi;tion oftheir tree stands.
University residents must also comply with the campus. security
regulations concerning weapons on campus. "No hunting weapons,
either guns or compound bows, are permitted in campus facilities
without specific permission," said Don Burling, director of Protective Services.
Residents must register their weapons and store them in lock slots
at the student armory in the George Stein Building.
When leaving campus to sight in weapons or to hunt, the owners
sign them out. The armory is accessible 24 hours a day, and provides
a room with a table for cleaning weapons after use.
By complying with campus as well as state regulations, student
hunters can enjoy hunting without endangering or alarming others
on campus. Protective Services can be contacted for further information.
Passing up a small buck is a
hard thing to do, but for those who
practice quality deer management, there is often a fme reward.
Kevin Shibilski, director of
the state chapter of the Quality
Deer Management Association,
spoke Tuesday night to a small
audience in the College ofNatural Resources.
"What we're trying to do is
have a good quality, healthy deer
herd," said Shibilski.
To do that, he outlined anumber of steps that should be taken:
-- restraint in harvesting
young bucks (1 ~years old); they
generally have antlers with an inside spread less than ear width
-- adequate harvests of adult
does
-- safe and ethical hunting
-- and the education of hunt,, ers and non-hunters toward a better understanding of wildlife man~
agement.

is how critics have described the
music of Les Sampou who will
perform Thursday at the Encore.
Since the release of her first
CD, Sweet Perfume, Sampou has
attracted major attention on the
east coast and across the country.
Her unique sound is a blend
of many different styles and has
been compared to the music of
Bonnie Raitt.
"My songs move from folk to
country to blues, even over to
rock. The song comes first, then
the style," said Sampou.
Nationwide praise for
Sampou's debut album evolved
into numerous awards. In 1994,
she was named "Folk Artist of the
Year," by WUMB, Boston's pacesetting radio station.
That same year, she was a
"New Folk" award winner at the
prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival,
and in 1995, she played on the
festival's main stage.

Jesse Reklaw: creator of Slow Wave .1\tlllle
The OW-Stevens
Part one of a two part series
Concave Up, that collects longer
By Valentina Kaquatosh
COMICS EDITOR
For those of you who read
The Pointer's Arts and Review
section, Jesse Reklaw's strip,
Slow. Wave, is not new to you.
This up-and-coming comics creator is slowly making his mark
on the world of alternative literature and it's YOUR dreams
that fuel his creativity!
Introduce yourself. Tell us
what you like to do, what you have
achieved, and what makes you
unique.
I currently draw a weekly
comic strip called Slow Wave,
syndicated in Seattle's Rocket and
the Philadelphia Weekly (as well
as The Pointer!).
Each strip is an actual dream
authored by different people from
all over the world. As a complementtoSlow Wave, I self-publish
a quarterly 24 page comic book,
dreams.
Although I spend most of my
artistic time drawing comics, I fmd
painting to be the most rewarding
creative activity. Unfortunately,
due to some bad luck and a general aversion to the "gallery
scene," I never progressed beyond showing at cafes.
To top it all off, I have an interest in computer science and am
currently a graduate student
studying computer animation. As
a side project, I'm developing
ways to "assist" my comic book
and comic strip illustrating with
the computer.
One perk to working with computers is that I have the knowhow to design my own World
Wide Web site, which is where I
first presented Slow Wave to the
world:
http://www.nonDairy.com/
slow/wave.cgi
How did you get your start and
what are some of your influences?
My father, a seasoned fan of
"underground comix," paid me $10
a page (I later negotiated a raise
of$15) to draw comic strips about
his everyday life.
This was while I was still in
high school and it encouraged me
to believe I could actually pursue
a career in comics.
As far as "influences," I consider mine to fall in two categories. First there are the purely technical influences: (the people from
which I pick up stylistic tricks or
learn new ways of expressing my
ideav Bill Watterson, Jim
Woodring, Kyle Baker, Dan
Clowes, Julie Doucet, and Wayne _
Thiebald.
Secondly, are the influences
on my thoughts themselves. This
group of people is rather far-reaching and I can really only give a
random sampling: Kurt Vonnegut,
They Might Be Giants, Hans Arp,
Jim Woodring, Carl Jung, Tom
Waits, etc. (I feel like I'm thanking
people at the Oscars or something).
What encourages you to keep
going when things don't go well?
That if I'm persistent, I will
eventually succeed, to some degree. Difficult problems are also
great ·learning experiences, so
sometimes it helps to look at
something both as an "assignment" and as a " learning exercise."
In that way, even though.! fail
to achieve what I wanted to do, I
can still say, "Well, at least I
learned something."

This season was a tough test
of guts and tenacity for the
Pointer women's soccer team.
After losing six seniors from
last year, the Pointers had to overcome depth problems, and only
three' returning players were at
their same position on the field .
Also, the team had to face one
of the toughest schedules in the
country.
With all that adversity, the
Pointers could have sunk to the
depths of the WWIAC.
However, tradition and heart
prevented that from happening.
The Pointers dominated their
conference foes, finishing the
regular ,season with a 7-0-1 record
intheWWIACand 11-10-1 overall.
·
..
The team's tradition of winning was strong in the WWIAC
with 45 straight wins.
After their first conference
loss in five years to OW- La

featured with praise and admira-

Point \'Vrestling team looks stronger than ever as they prepare for
the early part of their schedule.
A wealth of experience and
leadership is on the shelf for
tenth-season head coach Marty
Loy.
Returning are five national
qualifiers, three All-Americans
(both all-time highs), five seniors
and II.Jetterwinners from the
1995-96 squad.
That team earned their fourth
WSUC crown in five seasoris
while finishing a best-ever fifth
at the NCAA Division III Nationals.
Especially deep are the upper
weight classes, where the team
welcomes back a junior or senior

Miller, Stamper wrestle in Ukraine
For two weeks in June, Perry Miller and Bret Stamper shared an
experience of a lifetime. The two All-Americans went to Kiev,
Ukraine to wrestle, but also acquired a cultural awakening.
They stayed at the University of Kiev while practicing twice a
day, training against the Kiev team and a German national team.
The Olympic coaches from Germany, Great Britain, and the Ukraine
provided tutalage for the wrestlers.
"It was great to learn a whole different style of wrestling from
those coaches," said Stamper.
Wrestling was not the only thing that e:x,cited'the two while visiting Europe. Both wrestlers had the opportunity to see many sights
and meet new people.
"As a whole they were very friendly and tried to make us feel
like we were in America," said Miller.

earlier in the season," said UWStevens Point women's volleyball
coach Julie Johnson.
Point fell in their first match
on Saturday to Wheaton College
15-13, 15-6, 12- 15, 15-6.
"Wheaton is a tough team, we
lost to them in five games earlier
in the year," said Johnson.
In their fmal gam~ of the tournament, the Pointers beat Ripon
College in four games 15-4, 153,9-15, 15-7.
Point's Christa Schmidt was
one of seven players named to the
All-Tournament team.
Host school UW-Oshkosh
swept the tourney with a 4-0
record.
They extended their home
winning streak to 32 games in the
Kolf Sports Center and are currently ranked 7th in NCAA Division III .
Johnson is optimistic about
the Pointers' chances in this
weekend's WWIAC Tournament
in River Falls.
"Anything can happen. We
have to keep our heads high,"
stated Johnson.

FILM CRITIC
Okay, I'll admit it. I am a
Seagal fan, I am a VanDamme
fan, and I am a Schwarzenegger
fan. There is just something to
be said for the appeal of someone who kicks righteous ass. So,
I must admit; when I chose "To
Gillian on her 37th Birthday"
to review this week, I went into
the theater with some preconceived negative feelings.
You know what? I absolutely
loved it.
This was the first "chick flick"
I have ever seen that really made
me think about the things that the
movie wanted me to.
. The film takes place on Labor Day weekend at Nantucket
Island, during a family reunion
for David Lewis (Peter
Gallagher) and his teenage
Rentals
daughter (Claire Danes), along
with sister- in- law Ester (Kathy
Romeo is Bleeding
Baker) and brother- in- law Paul
(1994; 100 min.)
(Bruce Altman).
The weekend also happens to
In director Peter Medak's
be the anniversary of David's wife . "Romeo is Bleeding," Gary
Gillian (Michelle Pfeiffer), who Oldman plays a crooked seargent
died young in a tragic boating on the police force whose lust for
accident. David is not over her money and women continually
death, and the film deals with the leave him in holes hard to crawl
emotional conflicts that have de- out of.
veloped between David and the
Jack Grimaldy (Oldman) is
happily married, yet can't take
rest of the family.
The twist is the fact that his hands and mind off his girlGillian is a ghost- and only David friend and women who cross his
sees her. Naturally, the rest of path.
So when Grimaldy crosses
the family thinks he's crazy, and
Ester and Paul try to take David's paths with a sexy, deadly assasin
daughter away. He balks, and (Lena Olin) the result is bound
then this threat to his family to.be trouble.
In the end, Jack is a Romeo
eventually leads to his salvation.
Masterfully written by David who has lost his true love, his
E. Kelley, and directed by wife, due to his own actions.
Gary Oldman might be the
Michael Pressman.
most talented, yet least appreciated actor today.
Rating (four possible):

90 FM's Picks of
the Week
By Patrick McGrane
Mus1c CRITIC
In the transient music scene
of college rock, it often takes
something special for a band to
stand out and be recognized.
There are several bands with new
albums that stand out above the
norm of college alternative.
Jane Jensen is a perfect example.
Her debut album, "Comic
Book Whore" clearly shows talent and uniqueness in her song
writing ~nd performance ability.
Her sound is a combination of
industrial rhythms and ethereal,
sensual vocals; she can range
from surrealistic inner monologue to coquettish tunes of infatuation, love lost and desired.
Her music has grabbed the '
attention of DJs and listeners
alike at 90 ·FM, with songs like
"More Than I Can" and "Luv
Song."
---------
~-
Another band to converge on
the new scene is Chicago's
Catherine.
"Hot Saki & Bedtime Stories"
is their second full-length offering, and their sound has changed
considerably in between releases.
Imagine the Smashing Pumpkins with a more melodic approach to their music and you
aren't far from Catherine's
sound. Their ties to the . Smashing Pumpkins extends beyond
that of sound and hometown in ~
that their new single, "Four Leaf
Clover" features D'arcy from the
Pumpkins on duet vocals.
This is an album of depth with
good song writing.

Singled out by coach Miech
was senior Savonte Walker, who
gave leadership to a young team,
and was solid in goal all year with
a 1.17 goals against average.
Other mentionable players include senior co-captain Erin
Leinweber ( 10 goals and six assists), and Kelly Morgan (seven
goals seven assists).
In conference play, Laura
Gissibil led the charge, scoring .
six of her seven goals against
WWIAC foes.
The WWIAC chose to single
out five Pointers in their All-Con~
ference teams.
M idfielder/forward
Leinweber and junior defender
Shannon Balke were named to the
first team All-WWIAC squad.
Walker led the second team
selections, along with sophomore
midfielder Jessica Wickesburg
and junior defender Kristin
Capaccio.
With three All-WWIAC selections and a horde of other talented players returning, the Pointers look forward to defending
their tradition of excellence next
season.
"We'll be an angry team, and
we'll be back," said Miech.
