The No. 4 University of Wisconsin-Whitewater women's basketball team secured a historic win over No. 22 UW-Stout Saturday evening. With the 80-70 win over the Blue Devils, the Warhawks are 15-0 to start the season for the first time in program history. Junior guard Kacie Carollo (Whitewater, Wis./Whitewater) added to the historic night with a pair of career milestones and a career high. 

Carollo dominated in the first half with nearly half of the team's 43 points. She went on to score 30, a career high. In a rare feat, she also registered a pair of career milestones reaching the 500-rebound and 1,000-point marks in the same game. The junior now has 1,007 career points to move into 18th in the UW-Whitewater record book. Her 507 career boards is 20th in UWW history. Carollo is the 19th Warhawk to hit the point milestone and 22nd to tally 500 rebounds. 

UW-Stout scored the first bucket of the game after winning the tip but that was the only lead they saw in the contest. Aleah Grundahl (DeForest, Wis./DeForest) knotted the game with a layup followed by a Maggie Trautsch (Sun Prairie, Wis./DeForest) jumper and a Carollo steal and fastbreak layin for a six-point Warhawk run. Late in the quarter, Carollo nailed a pair of threes just 30 seconds apart to push the lead into double digits. By the end of the first, UWW enjoyed a 16-point advantage, 23-7. 

The Blue Devils won the second quarter outscoring UWW 25-20, but the Warhawks still maintained a double figure lead at the break, 43-32. 

UW-Whitewater scored the first nine of the third quarter to see the lead hit 20, 52-32. The margin remained in double digits until under the three-minute mark in the fourth. The Blue Devils chipped away, pulling to within five with 1:34 on the clock. Lunden Alexander (Dolton, Ill./Thornwood) and Carollo hit back-to-back jumpers to push the lead back to nine. From there, UWW sealed the game at the charity stripe. 

The Warhawks capitalized on their trips to the free throw line hitting 17-24 while the Stout was just 9-16 in the game. 

Carollo's 30 points led all scorers. She hit 11-16 from the floor and 3-3 from downtown adding a perfect 5-5 from the line. Carollo also posted eight rebounds, six steals and a pair of assists. Grundahl registered 21 points bolstered by 7-9 from the free throw line. Trautsch rounded out the double figure scorers for UWW with 11 points adding six rebounds. 

Early in Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference slate, the Warhawks are the lone team with an unblemished record in league play, 4-0.
