UW-Fox Men Earn First WCC-East Title Since 1993!

The UW-Fox Valley men's basketball team defeated UW-Waukesha 81-68 on Monday night to run their WCC-East record to 10-1, 19-1 overall. With the win the Cyclone men earned their first conference championship since 1993, when National League Umpire Gerry Davis headed the program.

The Cyclone men got off to a quick start with their defense. The Cyclones held the Cougars to only 13 points over the first 15 minutes of the first half, and 36% field goal shooting for the half.

Christian Krah (Bayport) and Joe Dachelet (Menasha) ignited the Cyclone offense in the first half, which saw the Cyclones shoot 52% from the field. Both players hit all 3 of their field goals and both scored 8 points. Phil Landua (Kaukauna) and Mike Fitzgerald (Xavier) netted 7 and 6 points respectively in the first half.

The Cougars made several runs in the second half, fueled by the penetration and shooting of Milwaukee Vincent grad Sylvester Bracken, who led UW-Waukesha with 22 points. However, they would never get closer than 10 points.

Beau Reshel (Hortonville) scored lay-ups on back to back possessions, and buried a 3 late in the game as the shot clock expired, to push the Cyclone lead back to 15. Lucas Schultz' (Appleton West) transition lay-up with under a minute sealed the Cyclones first Championship in 18 years.

Phil Landua led UW-Fox with 18 points and 9 rebounds, while Joe Dachelet finished with 15 points and 7 rebounds. Reshel, Krah, and Schultz rounded out the Cyclones double digit scorers with 15, 11 and 10 points respectively.
