UW-Oshkosh, UW-Eau Claire share WIAC title

UW-Eau Claire and UW-Oshkosh started the night tied atop the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference with 6-1 records. It came down to two matches to decide the league title: Oshkosh @ UW-Platteville and Eau Claire @ UW-Superior. Nothing changed tonight as Oshkosh and Eau Claire both won and earned a share of the regular-season crown.

Platteville once again gave Oshkosh fits, but the No. 10 Titans came from way behind to win set one and downed the Pioneers in four, 25-23, 25-21, 23-25, 25-16. Oshkosh will be the No. 2 seed in the WIAC tournament, beginning Nov. 4.

The Titans won at least a share of the regular-season WIAC crown for the ninth (2006, 2005, 2001, 1995, 1994, 1991, 1990, 1982) time.

Eau Claire had an easier time in Superior, sweeping the Yellowjackets, 25-20, 25-16, 25-14. Because the Blugolds beat the Titans earlier this year, Eau Claire will be the No. 1 seed in the WIAC tourney.

The Blugolds earned at least a share of their third (2006, 1987) WIAC championship.
