Tyra Boettcher went scoreless for the first 39-plus minutes of Friday night’s women’s basketball game between UW-Eau Claire and UW Oshkosh, taking only a single shot.
But she was in the middle of the Blugolds’ four points in the last 17 seconds, as they beat the Titans 64-62 on Katie Essen’s basket at the buzzer.
The win clinched home court advantage for UW-EC (7-1) throughout the WIAC post-season tournament, which starts on Monday.
