On April 6, 2024, UW-Eau Claire welcomed UW-Stout and UW-Platteville for their Blugold Invitational dodgeball tournament. UW-Platteville brought ten players while UW-Stout and UW-Eau Claire both brought eight players each. Let’s take a look below on how the day went.
UWP vs Stout (8-0)-The first game had UW-Platteville playing UW-Stout. The first half ended with twenty-one seconds on the clock with a score of 4-0 for UWP. The second half ended with UWP with a score of 8-0 and two minutes and thirteen seconds left in the game. Although the score doesn’t show it, UWS improved since the last time that they played us and we look forward to their continued growth.
UWP vs UWEC (7-1)-The second game had UW-Platteville playing UW-Eau Claire. The first point went to UWEC, but UWP took the 1st half 3-1 with two minutes and five seconds on the clock. The second half started with those two minutes rolling over, and UWP quickly took the first point and stayed on track. The game concluded with a clean sweep by UWP and a guest appearance by former UWP player number eight Eli Huntley. The final score for UWP vs UWEC was 7-1 and another victory for UWP. Eau Claire was a fun to group to play against and we hope to see them next season.
UWEC vs UWS (8-2)-The third game had UW-Stout playing UW-Eau Claire. The first half ended in a tie with two points each. UWEC took control in the second half with six more points. UWEC won 8-2 with both teams fighting hard until the end of the game.
