UW-Platteville showed a marked improvement, but still fell short to 15th-ranked UW-Eau Claire Tuesday in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference playoffs.
The Blugolds beat the visiting Pioneers 3-0 to advance to the semifinals and end the Pioneers' season. UW-Platteville, which lost 7-0 to the Blugolds 10 days ago, finished its season 3-13-5. UWEC, now 16-1-2, will play host to both semifinal matches Friday and the conference championship Saturday.
Sam Krueger scored twice for the Blugolds, with one coming 18 seconds into the game and the other with 111 seconds remaining. Haelee Mauer had the other goal, at the 21:39 mark.
The Pioneers and first-year coach Enzo Fuschino will bid good-bye to five seniors: Paula Duerst, Abby Genske, Amanda Metcalfe, Katie Trifone and Laurie Trifone.
