OSHKOSH, Wis. – The UW-Stevens Point football team (2-7, 0-6) scored first and last, but fell to No. 20 UW-Oshkosh (6-2, 4-2) by a 49-71 final in the Pointers' final road game of the season.
 
Max Herro (Dousman, Wis./Kettle Moraine) returned under center and threw two touchdown passes, both in the fourth quarter.  Herro completed 16 passes, seven, including a touchdown, to Jeremy Kobe (Glendale, Wis./Nicolet).
 
Defensively, it as senior Kameron Kryzanski (Thorp, Wis./Thorp) leading the charge again with a game-high nine tackles.  Berkley Corvino (Weston, Wis./DC Everest) added eight, including the lone sack by UWSP.
 
After the UWSP defense forced a three-and-out to begin the game, UWSP started with the ball on its own 42.  Eight plays and 27 yards later, Victor Ponterio (Melrose, Wis./Melrose-Mindoro) put UWSP in front with a 48-yard field goal.
 
On the ensuing drive, it took UWO just three plays to go 75 yards for a go-ahead touchdown.  The Titans would find the end zone on three-straight possessions to take a 21-3 lead. 
 
In the second quarter, the UWSP defense forced a punt with another three-and-out.  But a fumble during the return gave UWO a short field. On the next play, the Titans plunged into the end zone.  Another touchdown on the next possession saw the Pointers in a 35-3 hole at the half.
 
The Titans poured it on in the third quarter scoring on their only two possessions that combined for a methodical 17 plays.
 
In the fourth quarter, Herro constructed a 12-play 70-yard drive culminating with an 18-yard touchdown pass to Ernie LaSpisa (Wauwatosa, Wis./West) to make it 49-10.
 
On the next UWSP possession, a nice mix of rushes and passes saw the Pointers go 60 yards in nine plays.  Herro hit Kobe from 15 yards for the drive-ending touchdown.
 
The Pointers return home for the regular-season finale on Saturday (Nov. 13).  Kickoff against UW-Whitewater is slated for 1:00 p.m.
