MENOMONIE (February 5, 2011) -
Sami Schoeder (Fr, Durand) scored eight points in the final six minutes as Stout completed their second-half comeback over UW-Oshkosh, 58-50, Saturday night at Johnson Fieldhouse.
Stout (8-14, 3-10 WIAC), who trailed by 12 at halftime, tightened up the defense in the second half, holding the Titans (11-11, 6-7 WIAC) to just 4-for-16 shooting after the break. Schoeder was key in the comeback as she recorded 19 points on 4-for-5 shooting, 2-for-2 from three point land, and 9-for-10 from the free throw line after being held scoreless in the first half.
The Blue Devils jumped out to an 8-2 lead but quickly saw that evaporate as Oshkosh went on a 9-0 run to take a three-point lead eight minutes into the game. Oshkosh put together another surge starting with eight minutes to play in the half. They turned a 16-15 lead into a 32-18 lead after a 16-3 run that lasted seven minutes.
Stout reeled off an 8-0 run shortly after halftime to put themselves back in the game.
Amanda Daleiden (So, Maiden Rock) converted a three-point play to start the run and Schoeder hit a three-pointer to cap it off. Stout slowly cut into the lead and with five and a half minutes to play, grabbed a two point lead, their first lead since midway through the first half.
Stout finished out the game by connecting on nine of their final 10 free throw attempts, while Oshkosh went scoreless in the final 3:18. Stout turned the ball over just 12 times on the night, limiting themselves to five in the second half. Oshkosh gave up the ball 14 times in the second half, following eight turnovers in the first.
Oshkosh owned the boards in the first half, grabbing 23 rebounds compared to Stout's 15. The Blue Devils, however, returned the favor in the second half, edging Oshkosh 19-12.
Stout will travel to Superior this Wednesday, Jan. 9, and stay on the road as they face Platteville the following Saturday, Jan. 12th, both key conference matchups.
