Freshmen Laynie Bessette (Manawa, Wis./Little Wolf), Sam Cappadora (Granton, Wis./Neillsville) and Grace Myklebust (Wisconsin Dells, Wis./Wisconsin Dells) each scored their first collegiate points in the fourth quarter.  It was Myklebust's first career field goal, a three-pointer, that got UWSP to the 100-point mark.
