This competition will be another showdown between the UWs, with La Crosse hosting Stout at home. It promises to be a close matchup, though UW-La Crosse holds a slight edge as the third-ranked team in the NCGA, while Stout sits in seventh. La Crosse has been remarkably consistent this season, never scoring below 189.600 and improving week by week. Their season high of 192.150 shows they’re on the right track.
Stout, while consistent, will need to push for higher scores if they want to make a serious bid for nationals. They started the season with two scores in the 187s but have steadily improved, culminating in last week’s season-high of 190.825. Both teams are poised for a strong showing, but Stout will need to close the scoring gap to keep it competitive.
