MENOMONIE (November 30, 2008) - Megan Maslowski (Jr, Marshfield) scored a career high 18 points as UW-Stout won their own UW-Stout 2008 Super 8 Turkey Shootout Sunday at Johnson Fieldhouse with a 97-63 win over the University of Dubuque.
The Blue Devils (3-1) never trailed in the contest and built up as much as a 36-point lead in the second half.
Current Dubuque head coach Mark Noll played a big part in recruiting Maslowski when he was an assistant at Stout, and Maslowski came back to show a former coach her best. Maslowski had 12 points in the first half and finished the game 7-of-11 from the floor, stepped outside to hit a 3-pointer and connected on all three of her free throw attempts. Maslowski also pulled down four rebounds.
Stout ran out to a 45-32 halftime lead, and just kept running, eventually clearing the bench.
Julia Hirssig (Jr, Rochester, Minn) finished the game with 13 points and nine rebounds for Stout. Tanya Dickey (Fr, White Bear Lake, Minn) finished with 11 points and Kim Stokke (Jr, Menomonie) had 10 points.
Aimee Reyzer scored 12 points to lead Dubuque (2-3).
In the consolation game of the UW-Stout 2008 Super 8 Turkey Shootout, Cardinal Stritch (5-3) ran away from St. Scholastica (0-5) for an 84-46 win in the mid-morning contest.
After trailing by as much as 18 points in the first half, the Saints closed the gap to as close as 36-30 with three minutes left in the half, but Cardinal Stritch carried a 48-33 lead into halftime.
Cardinal Stritch's Michelle Stelloh scored 14 points to lead all scorers, with Doriane Davis and Liz Neitzel each chipping in 12 points. The Wolves launched the rock from downtown all morning, hitting 9-of-24 three-point attempts. The Saints got 11 points from Kirsten Haukom.
