Besides being a sports columnist for the Student Voice, I am also the assistant sports director at 88.7 FM WRFW where I am privileged to bring Falcon athletics to life for fans through their radios and internet.

In the last three and a half years, WRFW has expanded its sports coverage to include the softball team’s spring break games and women’s hockey games. This Saturday, WRFW expands its coverage to include UWRF volleyball.

The volleyball team is hosting their annual UWRF Trick-or-Treat Classic at the Karges Center Friday and Saturday. The tournament field consists of six teams. Each team will play four matches in the tournament.

The Falcons look to rebound after having dropped four of their last five matches including the Dig for the Cure match last Wednesday, Oct. 20. This weekend’s tournament marks the final regular season matches for the Falcons as they will open up WIAC Tournament play on Tuesday. The semi-finals and finals will be held at UW-Eau Claire Nov. 5-6.

WRFW will continue to expand its sports coverage heading into the winter sports season. This year WRFW has beefed up its women’s hockey schedule to include ten regular season games up from just a few regular season games last year.
