Tiffany Gregorich (Altoona, WI, Altoona) scored her 1,000 career point as the Falcon women's basketball team soared to a 72-56 victory over St. Scholastica Wednesday at the Karges Center.

Gregorich would capitalize on her special milestone by leading the Falcons with 18 points while helping the Falcons to a 5-0 start to the young season. She reached 1,000 career points with a made free-throw with 17:47 to go in the game.  Gregorich went into tonight's game needing nine to reach the prestigious milestone.  She now has 1,009 for her career thus far.  She also had five steals and six assists on the night.  Both the five steals and the six assists led the Falcons.

The Falcons were dominate from the very beginning, building a 5-0 lead within the first two minutes of the game.  UWRF would lead by as many as 21 with 2:41 remaining.  There were two times when the score was tied.  St. Scholastica's only lead was one, which came with 11:35 to go in the first half.

The Falcons used a balanced scoring attack to down the Saints, who are now 0-6 on the season.  Led by Gregorich's 18 points, four Falcons would finish the game with double-digit scoring.  Alise Holst (Plainview, MN, Plainview-Elgin-Millville) poured in 12 points and seven rebounds, and Lauren Pellowski (St. Paul, MN, Tartan) had a season-high 11 points in helping the Falcons remain undefeated.  Brittany Gregorich (Altoona, WI, Altoona) would end the night with a double-double, accounting for 10 points and 10 rebounds.
