WAVERLY, Iowa – The UW-Stevens Point women's soccer team (0-1-0) held No. 24 Wartburg (1-0-0) scoreless for 105 minutes, but the host Knights converted on a penalty kick in the 106th minute as UWSP fell, 1-0.
 
UWSP goalkeeper Miranda Nieman (Wisconsin Rapids, Wis./Lincoln) made 11 saves, including a diving stop on a close-range shot in the 98th minute.  She guessed right on the game-winner, but the power of the shot got under her dive for the lone, decisive goal.
 
Bridget Kauzlaric (Coal City, Ill./Coal City) recorded UWSP's first shot on goal in the 12th minute forcing the first save by Wartburg goalkeeper Marissa Lopez.
 
Freshman Jessica Camarato (DeForest, Wis./DeForest Area) led the Pointers with three shots in the match.  Her first came in the 24th minute.  She then put two on frame in the 56th and 60th minutes.
 
Fellow freshman Mara Gustafson (Green Bay, Wis./Bay Port) added a shot on goal in the 97th minute.
 
Wartburg outshot the Pointers, 22-5, in the match.  Lopez made four saves for the shutout for WC.
 
The Pointers are next in action on Saturday (Sept. 4) for the home opener against St. Olaf.  The match begins at 1:00 p.m. at Point Soccer Bowl.
