Something about St. Thomas brings out the last-second heroics in UW-Stevens Point women's soccer player Kimie Wiepz (Stoughton/Stoughton).

For the second time in her career, the junior scored a clutch game-winning goal against the Tommies, tallying a goal with 11 seconds remaining on Saturday to give the Pointers a wild 4-3 win at the Pointer Soccer Bowl.

Wiepz was also the Tommies' nemesis in their last visit to Stevens Point, scoring with 22 seconds left in the first overtime for a 2-1 victory in 2004.

For most of the match it didn't appear the Pointers (2-1-1) would need any last second drama as they cruised along with a 3-1 lead before the Tommies (0-1-1) struck for two goals in a 52-second span with just under 24 minutes remaining. St. Thomas goalkeeper Dana Vilar also kept her team in the match by saving a penalty kick with 5:22 remaining after Pointers defender Abbey Kichdoerfer made a long run and was taken down in the penalty box.

However, the Pointers withstood all the St. Thomas momentum and scored the winning goal on a three-on-two breakaway led by Amanda Prawat (Oregon/Oregon) to earn just their third win ever while allowing three goals or more and first since a 4-3 win over UW-Oshkosh on Sept. 20, 1989.

Prawat also assisted the first goal of the match, dishing to Kaylee Weise (Brookfield/East) for a soft chip just inside the near post at the 11:04 mark. St. Thomas' Abigail Krause evened the match 17 minutes later with a 20-yard kick that floated into the upper at the far post.

UW-Stevens Point rallied just two minutes later as Anna Van Stippen (Kimberly/Kimberly) scored off a pass from Weise and Prawat notched a goal on a breakaway off a long feed from Liz Kid.

The Pointers appeared to be in full control of the match before a foul gave the Tommies a free kick five yards outside the penalty box. Jade Crepps launched a perfect kick into the upper corner to pull St. Thomas within a goal and the Tommies rode the momentum into another goal from Sarah Balgord to tie the match.

It was UW-Stevens Point's fourth straight win over St. Thomas. The Pointers will play at Carroll on Thursday at 6 p.m.
