Brooks scored 32 points in the Bears’ double-overtime win over U Chicago earlier this month.

The Bears will face the University of Wisconsin-Superior in the first round of the playoffs Saturday.

Head coach Stephanie Gabbert said the team will need to get better at finishing on its opportunities going into the tournament.

Women’s soccer has already won the UAA, while the men will seek to do so against Chicago on Saturday.

The weekend left the Bears 7-4 on the season.

Before the Washington University football team’s dominant 41-7 victory over North Park Saturday, sophomore Collin Hoyhtya had only played one game for the Bears, but it was a phenomenal start to his career.

In their three matchups, the Bears, who broke into the top 25 nationally earlier this week at No. 18, went 2-1 to bring their record to 6-2 on the season. 

WashU’s 31-21 loss to its nemesis leaves the Founders Cup officially in Chicago, a disheartening conclusion to a decades-long rivalry. 

“There are going to be some fun games to watch this year,” graduate student JT Streepy said.

The Bears demonstrated both the best and the worst of its offense this weekend as the team won two and dropped two to remain even at 9-9 on the year.
