Blugolds up early

The UW-Eau Claire women's basketball team is up 26-7 on North Park University (Ill.) with 12 minutes, 27 seconds to play in the first half. Quite frankly, the score doesn't even seem that close.

The Blugolds kicked off the game with 12-point run, spurred by a pair of steals and six early points from junior Heather Witt. Senior Amanda Zenner is the Blugolds' leading scorer right now with eight points.

The transition game is where the Blugolds are doing major damage tonight. The Vikings already have showed time and time again that they can not handle the Blugolds pressure defense or contain their aggressive offense. The Vikings already have committed 11 turnovers. Something will have to change if the Vikings want to make a game of this one.
