It's a game of runs

Basketball is a game of runs, and this one is certainly no exception.

After going 1-for-11 from the floor and watching its lead shrink to four points, UW-Eau Claire made five of its next six shots and was 7-for-8 from the free-throw line to grab a 53-37 lead with 9:18 left.

The Blugolds have been able to regain control of the game in large part because of the play from senior Kali Houselog. She has nine points during the Blugolds' latest spurt, including one basket on a post move that would make Hakeem Olajuwoun and Kevin McHale proud.

UW-Eau Claire leads 56-41 with 7:10 left.

(By the way, I know it's a dated reference, but I'm rather impressed I spelled Olajuwon correctly. At least I think I did. That's how Wikipedia spells it and as everyone knows, Wikipedia is always correct.)
