Why did you decide to attend UDM?
UDM has a reputable engineering program, as it is integrated with a cooperative education experience. In attending UDM, I would be able to excel in both athletics and my desired field of study- mechanical engineering.

Being from Canada, what was the biggest adjustment you had to make coming to the U.S. to run track?

Here in the US, I am given the opportunity to compete in larger track and field meets with outstanding competition, on a regular basis. The biggest adjustment in these meets is having unknown competition. There are a lot of great athletes, more than I can keep tabs on. While in Canada, for any particular race, I knew my competitors and who would be my strongest competition.

What do you like best about being a part of UDM's track team?
The close friendships I have developed with my teammates, especially my hurdle crew; and, knowing that being a part of UDM's track team goes far beyond the track.

After winning the bronze medal at the Canadian Nationals this past summer, what are some of your goals you hope to accomplish from here?
Aside from staying healthy, I want to reach my full potential as a hurdler. Ultimately, I want to attain the highest level of athletics in the NCAA. I would also like to lead our UDM team to a Horizon League championship.

What do you feel is your biggest accomplishment throughout your collegiate career on the field and in the classroom?

Fernstrum also landed on the CSN squad two weeks ago.

Dombrowski equaled a school and Horizon League record with four goals in the Panthers' 4-1 victory over Loyola on Sunday (Oct. 23). He posted the ninth four-goal outing in UWM history and the first since Antou Jallow hit the net four times versus UIC on Oct. 2, 2002. The Panther midfielderopened the scoring in the 15th minute and contributed another strike seven minutes later for a 2-0 halftime advantage.

UW-Milwaukee Panthers
(9-4-3 overall, 6-0-1 Horizon League)
Friday's win was the 100th of Michael Moynihan's coaching career. The program record-holder in wins since No. 47, he is just the fourth coach in school history to reach 100 soccer victories.

The Panthers finished their League slate unbeaten (6-0-1) for the second-straight year, the fifth time in six seasons and the sixth time overall. Only one other current league team has had an unbeaten league season (Butler, 1995, 6-0-0).

Erin Kane picked up her school record-tying eight shutout of the season Friday. In addition to doubling the previous freshmanrecord for shutouts (4), she also surpassed frosh marks for wins, starts, minutes played and remains well on pace to break the mark for GAA.

Her 500th career win came on Feb. 2, 2002 in a 63-42 NIU victory over Akron.
