WARHAWK FOOTBALL INFORMATION

SEASON RECAP
One repetition, one player, one practice, one game at a time. That credo has been drilled in since, appropriately, day one.
Robbie Ustruck, Matt Weber, Garth Coats, Mark Gawronski, Grant Murray. One group. Even the most die-hard Warhawk fans, parents excluded, would be hard pressed to name UW- Whitewater‟s starters on the offensive line. But without the “pound the rock” mantra of this group other names would appear in fewer headlines.
The Warhawks rank fourth in scoring offense and fourth in offensive yardage in NCAA III statistics. UW-Whitewater is also third in passing efficiency, not in small part as a result of giving the fourth fewest sacks in Division III. UW-W is about to break school records for points, touchdowns, first downs, yards rushing and total offense, among others.
But it would be unfair to say the group has a Rodney Dangerfield complex. They have earned respect. Weber, Coats and Ustruck were First Team All-Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, and tight end John Novak, an integral part of the unit, was an honorable mention selection. Weber and Ustruck were also named D3football.com First Team All-West Region.
Talented players have thrived in partnership with the guys up front. Aaron Rusch, just a junior, owns the UW-W record for career receptions, is less than a football field away from the school‟s career yardage mark, and is likely to break the WIAC mark for catches before the season ends. Levell Coppage is making a bid to become just the second player in school history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season (the other being former Gagliardi Trophy winner Justin Beaver who accomplished the feat twice). As he completes his sophomore season, Coppage is already seventh on UW-W‟s career rushing list. Jeff Donovan, the WIAC Offensive Player of the Year, is tied for third in career touchdown passes and season TD‟s thrown, both ironically with the man that recruited him, former Warhawk quarterback and former head coach Bob Berezowitz. One successful part of the team.
While one unit, the offense, has been re-writing the record book, another has been content to turn the ball back to their offensive brethren. The Warhawk defense is second in scoring defense and fifth in total defense in Division III. All-American Anthony White has climbed into fifth place in career sacks in the school record book and defensive back Troney Shumpert has lived up to his preseason All-American recognition. Both were joined by linebacker Kyle Supianoski on the WIAC First Team Defense. Five teammates joined them as second team or honorable mention picks.
One more. The Warhawks were also fortunate to have a Davenport, Iowa native walk on to campus four years ago. Placekicker Jeff Schebler, already a three-time All-American, is the most prolific scoring kicker in NCAA – any division, history.
The Warhawk coaching staff has always said there is one more. One more session in the weight room, one more play that can be executed better, one more piece of video to watch. Now, as the 2009 season draws to a close, there is just one.

2009 GAME STORIES
Warhawks Open with Road Win
September 5, 2009 UW-Whitewater, ranked second in the NCAA Division III preseason polls, opened the 2009 season with a 38-3 win at Dickinson State University at the Badlands Activity Center in Dickinson, North Dakota Saturday afternoon.
Both teams could throw out the first and third periods, when no one scored, and shorten the game to thirty minutes.
UW-W's All-American kicker Jeff Schebler opened the scoring with a 23 yard field goal to end a fourteen play drive early in the second quarter. The Warhawks added their first TD of the season, ending a seven play, seventy-nine yard mark with a twenty-six yard pass from Jeff Donovan to Jordan Wells. The first half scoring ended with All-American tailback Levell Coppage going the final yard to make it 17-0 at intermission.
After a scoreless third period, Donovan connected with Aaron Rusch for an eight yard score, followed by a one yard TD by Jake Taylor and seven yard run by Matt Blanchard, the first collegiate touchdown for both.
With UW-W leading 38-0, Dickinson got a 28 yard field goal from Cole Zamira to avert the shutout. Donovan went 23-32 for 349 yards, the two touchdowns and no interceptions for the Warhawks. Wide receiver Aaron Rusch caught eight passes, giving him 134 for his career and sixth place on the UW-W career list. Next on the list is tight end Steve Tenhagen with 145 receptions from 1998-2001. Kyle Heller led the defense wwith eight tackles, five of them solo and a quarterback sack.
UW-W is 1-0 and DSU is 0-2.
Whitewater will open the home schedule next week, hosting Midland Lutheran College at 12:00 in Perkins Stadium. Tickets are available at the University Center ticket office during business hours Monday- Friday, or at Perkins Stadium on game day.
Warhawks Roll in Game Two
September 12, 2009 Midland Lutheran College had one third of their offensive plays in their first drive (which netted just 12 yards), but that was the most the Warrior offense was seen for the rest of the day. UW-W scored 27 points in the first quarter and 48 by halftime.
Given the score no one would have guessed that All-American Levell Coppage was not the first Warhawk back this year to gain 100 yards. Neither was Antwan Anderson, a 1,000 yard rusher last year. C.J. Miller, who rushed twice for four yards, led the Warhawks with 129 yards on19 carries. Maybe it sheds some light on a line that has been producing 1,000 yard rushers.
Quarterback Jeff Donovan had one of his shortest stints as a starter, playing less than a half and completing 10-13 passes for 172 yards and five touchdowns. The TD mark ties the UW-W game record, also held by three other quarterbacks (including Justin Jacobs four times).
Placekicker Jeff Schebler had one field goal, (40) and seven extra points, giving him 355 career points, second on the all-time Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference list. Former UW-W tailback and placekicker Chad Wurth owns the record with 366 points (2000-2003).
42
The Warhawk defense, again giving everyone valuable playing experience, forced four turnovers and limited Midland to 92 yards on 44 plays.
UW-W, 2-0, is ranked second in the d3football.com poll. MLC is 1-1.
Whitewater has a bye week next week. The Warhawks will host the University of Puget Sound Saturday, September 26 with a 12:00 kickoff in Perkins Stadium. Tickets are available during normal business hours at the University Center, and at the Stadium ticket window on game day. Call 262-472-2222 for ticket information.
#2 Warhawks 3-0 with Win Over Puget Sound
September 26, 2009 UW-Whitewater, ranked second Division III of the NCAA, upped its record to 3-0 with a 42-7 win over the University of Puget Sound Saturday afternoon in Perkins Stadium in Whitewater, Wisconsin.
Whitewater went 59 yards in nine plays, scoring on a Levell Coppage one yard rush, on the first drive of the game.
UW-W's next possession also resulted in another short scoring run by Coppage, this from two yards out to culminate another nine play drive.
Puget Sound made a bid to cut the deficit, taking the ensuing kickoff to their own 34. Facing a fourth and one at the Whitewater 45, Logger quarterback Kavin Williams rushed for two yards to keep the drive alive. UPS drove to the five yard line, earning a first and goal. Three rushes later, with fourth and two, Williams was stopped short of the goal by Justin Ankley and Zach Christopherson, ending the Loggers' 8:43 possession of the ball.
Whitewater went in to the locker room with the 14-0 lead.
Coppage scored for the third time, another one yard run at 10:11 in the third.
The Warhawk defense stopped UPS in the red zone again, halting a drive when a Williams pass fell incomplete with fourth and six at the UW-W 18.
Two plays later senior quarterback Jeff Donovan hooked up with senior wideout Jordan Wells on a 77- yard pass to put UW-W up 28-0. That hookup is the longest scoring pass in forty games. You have to go back to October 21, 2006 when Justin Jacobs connected with Derek Stanley on an 80 yard TD in a 49-21 win at UW-Platteville.
Luke Hibner got the ball back for UW-W, knocking the ball loose for Jon Baldwin to recover at the UPS 32. The Warhawks dusted off a special play on the next down, with Donovan taking the snap and handing the ball to junior wide receiver Aaron Rusch, who in turn completed a 32 yard scoring pass with junior Adam Brandes. Whitewater led 35-0 with 14:42 left in the game.
It was the C.J. Miller show on Whitewater's next series. The junior running back carried the ball eight straight plays, finishing with a one yard scoring run to up the UW-W lead to 42-0.
Backup QB Spencer Crace pulled the Loggers together to get on the board. He directed a 71 yard drive, using ten plays. Crace went 6-6 for 58 yards on the drive. He teamed up with Ross Zuhl for six yards on the score.
UW-W rolled up 542 yards to 242 for UPS. Coppage led both teams with 134 yards rushing on 20
43 attempts. The Warhawks averaged 5.6 yards per carry. Puget Sound linebacker led both teams with 11 tackles and a tackle for a loss. Warhawk linebacker Greg Arnold tallied ten and two for a loss.
Whitewater senior placekicker Jeff Schebler, who went 6x6 on point after tries, moved in to first place in the UW-Whitewater and the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in career scoring, with his present total of 369. He broke the marks formerly held by Whitewater's Chad Wurth (366, 2000- 2003). Schebler is just fourteen points behind the NCAA III career mark of 383, held by Mike Zimmerman of Mount Union (2005-2007).
UW-W will open the WIAC schedule next week, hosting UW-Platteville at 1:00 in Perkins Stadium. Tickets are available in the University Center Ticket Office Monday-Friday during business hours, and at the Perkins Stadium gate on game day. Call (262) 472-2222 for ticket information.

October 3, 2009 UW-Whitewater opened defense of its Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title with a 35-3 win over UW-Platteville before a Family Day crowd of 9,157 at Perkins Stadium in Whitewater, Wisconsin Saturday afternoon.
Levell Coppage began a record-setting day with a 25 yard run on Whitewater's first possession to open the scoring at 9:13. Warhawk defensive back Troney Shumpert picked off a Nick Anderson pass at the Whitewater thirty, and four plays later Coppage took it in from 35 yards out for a 14-0 lead at 5:08 in the first. Third drive, ditto. Coppage from three yards to end a 75 yard drive. Whitewater led 21-0 at 10:32 left in the second quarter.
Platteville held on to the ball for six minutes, moving 60 yards on 12 plays until Whitewater intercepted a pass, but was whistled for pass interference to on a third down to keep the drive alive. Tony Smidl booted a 27 yard field goal to make it 21-3 Whitewater with 4:49 left in the half. That's the score the teams took into the lockerroom at the half.
Whitewater started the second half quickly too, with Jeff Donovan connecting with Adam Brandes for a 36 yard score at 11:56 for the only score of the period.
Coppage ended a 78 yard drive with his fourth TD of the day, this time for ten yards, to make it 35-3 at 10:33 in the fourth. Coppage tied the school record with his four touchdowns. The feat has been accomplished ten times, most recently twice by Coppage last season.

Coppage Runs Over Blugolds
October 10, 2009 Sophomore tailback Levell Coppage rushed for 386 yards to lead second-ranked UW-Whitewater to a 38- 14 win over UW-Eau Claire in Perkins Stadium Saturday afternoon.
Coppage rushed the ball 42 times, averaging 9.3 yards per carry. The total is a UW-W school record, breaking the mark of 286 by Justin Beaver, accomplished against UW-La Crosse in 2006. The yardage total is second highest all-time in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, behind only a 391 yard game by Andrew Mocadlo of UW-La Crosse versus UW-Stout in 2003.
The Whitewater defense stopped the Blugolds on fourth down attempts in Whitewater territory on UW- EC's first two drives. After the second stop, UW-W went 72 yards in seven plays, senior quarterback Jeff Donovan hit junior wideout Aaron Rusch with a four yard scoring pass.
The Whitewater offense also scored the next time it had the ball, with Jeff Schebler adding to his school and WIAC scoring record with a 32-yard field goal. Schebler scored eight points in the game, putting him one point away from tying the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III kick scoring record of 383 held by Mike Zimmerman of Mount Union College (2003-2005).
Warhawk defensive tackle Wesley Hicks sacked UW-EC QB Kyle Paulson, forcing a fumble that Whitewater's Justin Ankley recovered at the EC 19. Coppage scored on the first play putting UW-W ahead 17-0 at 11:48 in the second.
Eau Claire took advantage of a Coppage fumble at the EC 3, moving the ball 97 yards in ten plays to score with 5.7 seconds left on a Paulson to David Goodman 37 yard pass. Whitewater blocked the point after and the teams went in to the locker room with Whitewater leading 17-6.
EC sophomore linebacker Andy Neumann stripped the ball from Coppage at midfield on the second play of the second half, returning the ball to the Blugold offense. UW-EC's eight play drive included a crucial fourth and four conversion with a 26 yard pass completion from Paulson to Spencer Kehoe. Paulson connected with Brett Schreiner for seven yards to make it 17-12, and Paulson hit Kehoe with the two point conversion to make it 17-14 at 11:17 in the third.
From that point on Whitewater scored 21 unanswered points.
The first score came on a 20 yard rush by Coppage, ending a seven play 85-yard drive. Schebler's PAT made it 24-14 with 3:09 in the third.
Whitewater's next score was again provided by Coppage, this time from 27 yards out. That drive covered 62 yards in four plays, 54 provided by Coppage on two rushes. Whitewater led 31-14 at the end of the third quarter.
Eau Claire had a first and goal at the Whitewater five in the fourth period, but facing a fourth and one UW- W defensive back Troney Shumpert knocked down the pass in the end zone and Whitewater took over.

The Warhawk defense stopped the first Blue Devil drive forcing a touchback just 3:11 into the game. UW- W would move the ball up the field with four first downs until a 21-yard pass from Jeff Donovan to John Novak put the Warhawks ahead 6-0 halfway through the first quarter.

UW-W would run the clock down to just four seconds left in the half before putting another score on the board with a Donovan five-yard rushing touchdown. The score at the half was 21-3 with the Warhawks on top.
Whitewater scored on the first drive of the second half as Coppage got the call from five yards out for his second touchdown of the day.
The offense would again pound the ball down the field to get into field goal range for Schebler. From 45 yards, Schebler made it look easy putting it through the uprights and widening the Warhawk lead to 31-3.
The Warhawks would finish out the scoring with Donovan's second passing touchdown of the game, this time for nine yards to Jordan Wells as the Warhawks put up seven more and put the game out of reach 38-3.

'Hawks Claim Sole Possession of First in WIAC with Victory over Pointers
October 31, 2009 No one wanted to use the word revenge but a 41-12 UW-Whitewater victory over UW-Stevens Point on Saturday in Stevens Point was just that. The 'Hawks scored three unanswered touchdowns to take a 21- 0 lead en route to a 41-12 thumping of the Pointers. UW-W, who lost to the Pointers in Whitewater on homecoming in 2008, remains undefeated, 8-0 overall and 5-0 in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
Both teams entered Saturday's contest undefeated in the WIAC. The win propels the Warhawks to a one game lead with two conference games yet to play. The game between these two teams in 2008 was a bitter ending to a couple of streaks for UW-W who had run off a 27-game winning streak at Perkins Stadium and a 25-game winning streak in conference games. The Pointers scored the go ahead point with just seconds remaining to win 17-16.
This Saturday was a different story. The Pointers started with the ball on their own 35 after a 31-yard kickoff return and the 'Hawks immediately picked off the first pass by quarterback Jared Beckwith. Zach Christopherson made the interception, his second of the year. The Warhawks then used four plays to cover 47 yards on a drive that ended with a one yard touchdown run by Antwan Anderson. Jeff Schebler tacked on an extra point to give the Warhawks a 7-0 lead just one minute and eight seconds into the game.
The following two possessions, one by each team, ended in a punt. The ensuing Pointer possession began at the Whitewater 46 yard line. The Pointers reached the Warhawk 29 and were faced with a fourth and three situation. UW-SP went for it but Jeremy Deibert snuffed out David Hammer after a two yard reception for a turnover on downs.
The Warhawks went three and out on their next possession and the Pointers returned the favor.
The Warhawks started on their 32 on the following possession. A ten-yard pass to John Novak from Jeff Donovan followed by back-to-back false start penalties had the Warhawks in the same spot they began. On the next play Levell Coppage broke through for a 68-yard touchdown run, his 17th of the season. Schebler knocked the extra point through the uprights and the 'Hawks were up 14-0.
The second quarter got no better for the Pointers as they had a punt blocked and covered up at their own eight yard line. Two rushes by Coppage and he was again in the end zone extending UW-W's lead.
48
Point responded later in the quarter a with a touchdown on a 93-yard pass from Beckwith to Jared Jenkins. A failed extra point attempt gave the Warhawks a 21-6 advantage.
Several possessions later the Warhawks began a first half drive at their own 34 with 2:37 remaining. The Warhawks fought down to the Pointer five-yard line but Jeff Donovan had a pass picked off in the end zone to end the half.
A nine play, 74-yard drive began the second half for UW-W. Donovan found Aaron Rusch for a 16-yard scoring strike. Another successful extra point by Schebler gave the Warhawks a 28-6 lead.
On the next Warhawk possession, Coppage broke off another long run, this time of 36-yards, to score his third touchdown of the game and give the Warhawks a 35-6 lead after Schebler's extra point.
The Warhawks blocked another punt on the following Pointer possession and Schebler got a chance to kick something other than an extra point. UW-W began with the ball at the UW-SP fourteen and got down to the Pointer one yard line but were unable to cross the goal line. Schebler's eighteen yard field goal pushed the Warhawks' lead to 32 points.
The Pointers put together a solid eight play, 75 yard drive that overlapped the third and fourth quarters to score another touchdown, but a failed two point conversion meant the score was now 38-12.
Schebler pushed another one through the uprights, this one a 22 yarder, with three and a half minutes remaining to make the final score 41-12.
The Warhawks recorded 22 first downs to Stevens Point's 13. Levell Coppage rushed for 199 yards and three touchdowns on the afternoon. His 68-yard touchdown run in the first quarter is the longest rushing play of the season for UW-W. Coppage is currently eighth in career rushing (2,542 yards) and second in career touchdowns (40) in the UW-Whitewater record book.
Donovan threw for 178 yards on 16 of 27 passing. Donovan is currently completing just over 72 percent of his passes, the highest percentage in the WIAC.
Troney Shumpert led the 'Hawks defensively with five total tackles. Kyle Supianoski and Jeremy Deibert also chipped in 3.5 and 3 tackles respectively.
The Warhawks will host UW-Oshkosh next Saturday, November 7, at Perkins Stadium in UW- Whitewater. Kickoff is slated for 1:00 pm.
Warhawks Wrap Up WIAC Title and NCAA Berth
November 7, 2009 The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater wrapped up its fifth consecutive Wisconsin Intercollegdiate Athletic Conference title and the league's automatic berth in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III championship playoffs with a 40-7 win over UW-Oshkosh in Perkins Stadium Saturday afternoon.
The Warhawk football team's run of five consecutive league championships is the second longest streak since the WIAC crowned its first champion in 1913 (UW-La Crosse, six, 1949-54) and the second longest for any sport in UW-Whitewater history (wrestling, 1974-80).
Whitewater went 70 yards on twelve plays, including seven rushes by Levell Coppage, ending a five yard TD from Coppage at 2:43.
49
UW-W mounted another long drive late in the second quarter, going 89 yards on 14 plays. Coppage accounted for 47 of the yards on nine carries, ending with another score from six yards out, making it 14- 0 with 5:34 left in the half.
Whitewater's defense held Oshkosh to three plays and a punt, and the Warhawks set up for their final score in the half. Moving from their own 35 to the Oshkosh 18, Jeff Schebler converted a 35-yard field goal with two seconds left in the half.
UW-W took the opening kickoff of the second half and went 65 yards in eleven plays. Jeff Donovan floated a pass over an Oshkosh defender into the arms of John Novak in the corner of the end zone from eleven yards out. UW-W missed the extra point, making it 23-0 with 9:38 left in the third.
Late in the third the Warhawks began another drive, starting from their own 36 and setting up Schebler for a 39-yard field goal to put UW-W up 26-0 with 13:57 left in the game.
Oshkosh drove the ball from their own 25 to Whitewater's 28, but two incompleted passes on third and fourth down turned the ball over to UW-W. After a six yard run by Coppage, he took the next handoff from Donovan and outran the Oshkosh defense for a 66-yard score to up the margin to 33-0. The dash was the second longest offensive play of the season for UW-W, behind only a 68-yard run by Coppage at UW-Stevens Point October 31.
Oshkosh began another drive at their ten. Two rushes, an incomplete pass, and an Oshkosh penalty set the ball at the Oshkosh 25. Tyler Wegner, Oshkosh's number two quarterback, threw a pass into coverage that was tipped by an Oshkosh receiver and picked out of the air by Paul Coburn to go 75 yards for the Titans' only score of the day.
Aaron Samplawksi returned the ensuing kickoff 60 yards to the Oshkosh 28. Four plays later, all C.J. Miller runs, UW-W ended the scoring at 0:52.
Coppage rushed 27 times for 209 yards, his third 200+ game in his two year career. He rushed for 235 against Eau Claire September 13 last year and 387 versus Eau Claire October 10 this season. With 2,950 yards Coppage moved in to seventh place on the UW-W career rushing list, passing John D'Amato (2,852, 1995-97). The three touchdowns give him 43 career rushing scores, second only to Justin Beaver's (2004-2007) 44.
Schebler's ten points today inched him closer to the NCAA record. Schebler, who already owns the Division III career kick scoring record, has the all-time all-division NCAA mark set by Art Carmody of Louisville (2004-2007), 433 points, in sight.
Warhawk QB Jeff Donovan, who has completed 73% of his passes this season, didn't hurt his percentage with a 29-33 day for 229 yards, one TD and one interception. Senior wideout Jordan Wells set a personal collegiate high with 12 catches for 90 yards.
Whitewater's defense still has not yielded a point in the first quarter this season. DB Jeremy Diebert led the team with five solo tackles, and DB Troney Shumpert had five total tackles and one tackle for a loss. Linebacker Kyle Supianoski led UW-W with seven total tackles. Oshkosh linebacker James Taraboi was the game's leading tackler with 16 total, including ten solo. Taraboi also had a tackle for a loss. Titan free safety Jack Breese was credited with 14 total tackles, and strong safety Frank Martin was also in double figures, with 11.
Freshman QB Nate Wara completed 19-30 passes for 145 yards with no interceptions. He spread his completions among eleven receivers. Wara also led the Titans with 34 yards rushing on eight carries.
UW-W, 9-0 overall and 6-0 in the WIAC, is 35-1 at Perkins Stadium since the start of the 2005 season. The Warhawks have also won 38 of their last 39 WIAC games, and are 64-5 in that span. The

Warhawks Tame Tigers, Will Host NCAA Semifinal
December 5, 2009 UW-Whitewater defeated Wittenberg University 31-13 Saturday in a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III playoff quarterfinal game in Perkins Stadium in Whitewater, Wisconsin. UW-W, 13-0, will host Linfield College, 12-0, in a semifinal. The December 12 game in Whitewater will kick off at 12:00. Tickets are available at the Connor University Center ticket office Monday-Friday, by calling 262- 472-2222, and at the stadium on game day.
It was no surprise, but neither team scored in the first quarter. The Warhawks and Tigers have both allowed just one touchdown in the first quarter this season. Both teams were ranked among the top defenses (scoring and total yards) in Division III.
The first quarter was definitely not a precursor to the second, when the tempo of the game seemed to do a 180.
Wittenberg went for a first down on a fourth and three from Whitewater's 36. UW-W defensive tackle Wesley Hicks sacked Tiger QB Aaron Huffman and Whitewater took over at their 37.
Whitewater went 63 yards on seven plays, including five runs by Levell Coppage. Jeff Donovan hooked up Jordan Wells for 26 yards and ended the drive with a 23 yard toss to Aaron Rusch for the score. Jeff Schebler's kick made it 7-0 with 14:17 left in the first half.
Wittenberg responded immediately, taking the next kickoff and driving 82 yards on eight plays. The big play was Huffman to Michael Cooper for 35 yards, and two plays later Huffman found Patrick Williams for 24 yards to the one. After a loss of one, Huffman ran it in to get Wittenberg on the board.; The Tigers missed the extra point; 7-6 Whitewater at 10:26.
The momentum swung back to UW-W on the next drive, Donovan finding Adam Brandes for 24 yards on the first play, mixing in a 16 yard toss to Cory Robinson, and finishing one play later with Antwan Anderson scoring from seven yards out. Schebler's PAT made it 14-6 UW-W with 8:29 left in the second.
Immediately Wittenberg seized the momentum, mounting a 79 yard drive that ate up 7:49. Facing a third and 12 at the Whitewater 42 Huffman hit Josh McKee for 24 yards down to the Whitewater 18. Two plays Huffman went back to pass, but was sandwiched by linebackers Lane Olson and Max Ford. Huffman appeared to suffer an injury on the play and did not return to the game. Backup QB Ben Zoeller made his
53 first play count, hitting Cooper for the 11 yard TD. Zack Harris made the PAT for a 14-13 Whitewater lead with 0:32 left.
The 14-13 lead was the closest any team has been to UW-W at halftime since the Warhawks trailed Mount Union 24-10 in last year's Stagg Bowl. The closest any opponent has been to UW-W this year was a 17-6 lead at home against UW-Eau Claire October 10.
The third quarter reverted to the tone set in the first, with UW-W finally breaking through with 0:51 left in the quarter on Donovan to Adam Brandes 28 yard TD. Schebler made it 21-13.
After stopping the Tigers, UW-W took over at its own 15. Coppage rushed seven times for 49 yards on the ensuing drive, which ended with Schebler's 35 yard field goal with 5:48 left in the game to make it 24- 13 in favor of the Warhawks.
UW-W senior defensive back Troney Shumpert ended Wittenberg's next drive with an interception he returned 36 yards to the WU 12. Three more runs by Coppage ended the drive. Schebler's PAT ended the scoring in the game with 3:45 left on the clock.
UW-W scoring 31 points against the number ranked defense in Division III, which had been allowing 7.0 points per game. Wittenberg was also number one in total defense at 172.7 yards per game, but Whitewater totaled more than double that at 347.
Wittenberg gained 21 yards rushing on 31 attempts, with the UW-W picking up four QB sacks, two by Hicks.
UW-W's Coppage rushed 25 times for 123 yards against a Wittenberg defense that came in allowing 67.4 yards per game. The Warhawks also passed for 236 yards, 18-25, against the WU unit that ranked sixth in Division III at 105.3 yards per game. Rusch led UW-W with seven catches for 92 yards. Shumpert, White, and Olson led the Warhawks with eight tackles apiece.

Stadium in Whitewater. UW-W will face Mount Union College in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl in Salem, Virginia December 19 at 10:00 a.m. (Central) for the Division III championship.
It wasn't just the fact that UW-W had not trailed in game this year while rolling up a 14-0 record, the situation occurred in the fourth quarter with the clock becoming a factor.
UW-W opened the scoring, taking advantage of a defensive stop at midfield. Linfield, facing a fourth and three at the Whitewater 45, had their pass attempt broken up by linebacker Kyle Supianoski. The next play sophomore Levell Coppage went up the middle for 55 yards. The run moved Coppage in to fifth place on UW-W's career rushing list, ahead of Eddie McKennie (3,354, 1994-97) and George Rainey (3,385, 1984-87). Coppage had 3,461 at that point. Jeff Schebler's extra point made it 7-0 with 6:22 in the first.
Whitewater's defense also figured in the second score of the game. Linfield QB Aaron Boehme was picked off by senior safety Zack Christopherson and returned to the Linfeld 22. Schebler came on to boot a 34 yard field goal to make it 10-0 with 4:32 in the half.
Boehme ran 67 yards on the first play of the following drive to put Linfield at the door. Facing a third and four from the nine, Boehme connected with Ryan Henderson for the score. Josh Repp kicked the PAT to cut Whitewater's lead to 10-7 with 3:27 left.
Whitewater looked like it would score again before intermission, facing a first and goal at the nine. After advancing the ball to the two, Jeff Donovan was sacked by Jaymin Jackson on the fourth and goal attempt as the half ended
Linfield went 78 yards in seven plays, the biggest chunk of yardage coming on a Boehme to Gunnar Cederburg for 49 yards. Boehme got in the end zone on a four yard run, and Repp put Linfield in front 14-10 with 10:58.
Linfield stopped UW-W on the next series and took over on their own ten. They used 14 plays to cover 72 yards, and use up 7:10 on the clock, to set up a Repp 35 yard field goal and open up a 17-10 lead with 14:55 left in the game.
Facing third and ten at the Linfield 47, Donovan connected with Adam Brandes for 35 yards to the Linfield 12, moved him in to sixth place on the UW-W season receiving yards list, past Anthony Talton (952 in 1991) with 960. Schebler came on to hit a 26 yard field goal with 12:36 left to cut the Wildcats lead to 17- 13.
Whitewater's defense came up with a key stop again on the ensuing Linfield possession, with UW-W taking a punt return to start at their own 28. Donovan completed an eight yard pass to Rusch, than hit Jordan Wells for 68 yards to take the ball to the Linfield one yard line. The reception moved Wells up to ninth on UW-W's single season record list, past Dick Bilda (57, 1972). Antwan Anderson ran it in on the next play, and Schebler's extra point put the Warhawks back in front, 20-17, with 7:34 left.
Later in the fourth UW-W senior defensive back Jeremy Diebert picked off a Boehme pass and gave UW- W the ball at the Linfield 45. Coppage went for five yards, then broke a 40 scoring run which, with Schebler's PAT, ended the scoring with 1:05 left in the game.
Boehme led the Wildcats in passing and rushing. He completed 26-38 for 278 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions. He also rushed eight times for 73 yards. Trev Patterson led LC with six catches for 86 yards.
The Warhawks were led in rushing by Coppage, who carried 13 times for 109 yards. Donovan completed 17-26 for 276 yards with no interceptions. His tenth completion on the day helped UW-W pass the single season record for completions, passing the 250 in 2005. UW-W has 258 this season. Brandes caught five passes for 123 yards, a career high for the junior. Wells led the team with six receptions for 98
55 yards. Rusch, with three catches today, is now fifth on the season reception list at UW-W with 64, passing Richard Newton (63, 1995) and Derek Stanley (2006). Supianoski topped the defense with seven tackles, a sack and the interception.

There are five seniors among the Loggers' defensive starters and one freshman. The "D" line averages 247 pounds. Just like the Warhawks' last year, this will be Puget Sounds' longest trip. Mapquest has it listed as 1,962 miles, and a wrong turn or drive across the city of Tacoma to get to the airport could easily make this 2,000.
The Coaches: UW-W's Lance Leipold is in his third year as head coach at UW-W, his first head coaching job. Leipold has directed the Warhawks have gone 14-1 and 13-2 in his two years. Phil Willenbrock is in his eighth year in Tacoma, with a cumulative record before 2009 of 24-40.

The Warhawks so Far: UW-W opened the season with a 38-3 win at Dickinson State (ND) September 5. The Warhawks followed that up with a 58-0 win September 12 home opener against Midland Lutheran College. Whitewater did not play last week. Early season non-conference games are generally a bad predictor of future results, but a few notes stand out. The defense has allowed 201 yards, total, in two games while forcing five turnovers. Warhawk opponents had to contend with the tandem of Levell Coppage (1,400+ yards) and Antwann Anderson (1,000) last year, but that has been expanded to a hydra this year, with junior C.R, Miller recording Whitewater's first one hundred yard rushing game of the season against Midland. Senior QB Jeff Donovan is completing 73% of his passes, with seven TD's and no interceptions.
About Puget Sound: Puget Sound is a residential campus of 2,700 students. President Ronald Thomas serves on the NCAA's Presidents Council for Division III.

The Loggers so Far: UPS opened with a 20-14 overtime loss at home to Pomona-Pitzer Colleges September 12. Last week they fell to Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges 14-6 on the road. There is no secret that fifth year quarterback Kavin Williams is the key player for the Loggers.

He has also completed 14-38 passes for 139 yards, with two touchdowns and no picks. Williams has also added a TD on the ground.

Looking Back: UW-Platteville opened the season with a 15-10 win over Buena Vista (1-2), followed with a 28-20 win at the University of Dubuque (2-2), and lost to Augustana College (IL, 2-1) 31-12 two weeks ago. UW-Whitewater won 38-3 at Dickinson State (ND, 2-2)), came home to beat Midland Lutheran (3-1) 58-0, and beat the University of Puget Sound (0-3) 42-7 last week.
68
The Series: UW-W leads 73-24-4 in the all-time series which began with a 4-0 Whitewater home field win in 1926. Whitewater has won four in a row, eight in the last decade, and 15 of the last 17. The longest win streak by the Warhawks was 11 (1990-2000), and UW-W‟s widest margin of victory was 47-0 in 1959. Whitewater has shut out Platteville twenty times, including the first eight times the teams met (1926-33). Platteville owns a six game win streak (1952-57), with four of those wins coming by shutout. Over the course of the series UW-P has shut out UW-W six times. The lowest scoring game in the rivalry was the 4-0 contest that started it all and the highest scoring was a 63-28 Whitewater win in 2005. The game has been decided by seven points or less 25 times, including two ties.
The Warhawks so Far: Maybe the week off came at a good time. The Warhawks have seen more injuries than recent years, and the week may help recuperation. The Warhawk staff has also used the first three games to see second and third units, and that game experience is going to be called on Saturday. As an example, eleven players have carried the ball this year and five, including wide receiver Aaron Rusch, have thrown a pass. The Warhawk offensive line has been jelling. Running backs C.J. Miller (6.0 per carry), Antwann Anderson (6.3) and Levell Coppage (5.2) have all been productive. The line has also allowed just one sack this year, protecting QB Jeff Donovan while he has hit 71% of his passes for eight touchdowns and no interceptions. Wide receiver Aaron Rusch is moving up in the UW-W record book. He has 1,996 career receiving yards and 144 catches, seventh and sixth respectively. He needs just one catch and seven yards to move up another notch on both lists. Placekicker Jeff Schebler continued to write his name in the record books, taking over as the UW-Whitewater and Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference career scoring leader with 369 points. He nudged former Warhawk Chad Wurth (2000-2003) out of the number one spot in both record books. Schebler is 14 points away from breaking the NCAA Division III kick scoring record. Looking at the Warhawk defensive stats makes you think of the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid line; “Who are these guys”. This group has only given up 443 total yards this season (compared to UW-W averaging 520 per game). Linebackers Kyle Supianoski and Greg Arnold, defensive back Troney Shumpert, and defensive end Anthony White are among the leaders in the evenly distributed stats.
The Pioneers so Far: UW-P has rushed the ball 107 times and passed 109, and QB Nick Anderson is a prime example of the balance. Anderson has completed 59% of his passes for 150 yards per game, with four interceptions and one TD, and he leads the team with a 5.1 per carry rushing average. Junior running back Brandon Hertrampf is the workhorse of the rushing game, with 46 carries for 142 yards. Anderson has spread the ball around, with six receivers averaging more than ten yards per catch. Terry is still the leader with 16 for 181 yards. The Pioneers are averaging a first down per catch, 10.4 yards. Like their UW-W counterparts, the UW-P “O” line has given up just one sack this season. On the other side of the ball, inside linebacker Tony Bruin is among the WIAC leaders with 36 total tackles this season. Defensive end Tim Stephenson has seven tackles for a loss and five sacks, and DB Quincy Hudson, a former high school teammate of UW-W‟s Troney Shumpert, has two interceptions and leads the team with two interceptions. Placekicker Tony Smidl has not missed this year, going 4-4 on field goal attempts (long of 43) and 5-5 on PAT‟s.
Bye Bye: The Pioneers and Warhawks both had their off weeks last Saturday. Both played their last game September 19.
Home Cookin’: UW-Platteville is playing its third straight road game, while Whitewater is in the middle of a streak that will see the Warhawks at Perkins Stadium four games in a row.
Red Zone: Whitewater has been “in the zone” this season. The Warhawks are scoring ninety percent of the time they get inside their opponents‟ twenty, and the UW-W defense is allowing just thirty-three percent. Platteville‟s offense has also made the most of opportunities; making good on nine of twelve tries, but the UW-P defense has been scored upon eight of nine times opponents have been inside the twenty.
National Poll: UW-Whitewater, as they have been since the preseason poll, is ranked second in the D3football.com poll. UW-Platteville is not ranked.

Last Year’s Game: Whitewater won the regular season finale November 15 in Platteville, 52-13. UW-W led 14-0 after the first quarter, 28-7 at halftime, and 38-7 after three.

Jeff Donovan connected on 12-16 for 231 yards, including a 45-yard score to Aaron Rusch and a 46-yarder to Cory Robinson. Rusch caught six passes for 135 yards to lead UW- W. Platteville scored with 0:16 left in the game on a three yard run by Mike Genslinger.

Warhawks Take on UW-Stout
October 14, 2009 Won-Loss: UW-Whitewater is 5-0 overall, 2-0 in the WIAC. UW-Stout is 4-1 and 1-1 in the WIAC.
This Season: UW-W won 38-3 at Dickinson State, 58-0 over Midland Lutheran, 42-7 over Puget Sound, 35-3 over Platteville, and 38-14 versus UW-Eau Claire last week. Stout won 35-7 over Simpson College, 24-14 over Jamestown College, 40-6 over Eureka College, 13-12 over UW-River Falls and lost to UW- Stevens Point with 7-6 last week.
By The Numbers: UW-Whitewater‟s offensive line averages 281 pounds and the Stout defensive line 248. The numbers are 227 for the Warhawks‟ defensive front versus 279 for Stout‟s offensive line. Whitewater starts three seniors and no freshman on offense, and eight seniors and no freshmen on defense. Stout‟s offense has four seniors starting and no freshmen, and the Stout defense has six seniors and one freshman in the number one unit.
The Series: Whitewater leads the all-time series 40-10-2. The series began with a 21-20 Stout win in 1948. Whitewater‟s longest win streak in the series was thirteen games (1987-1999). UW-W is currently on a seven game streak. Stout won back-to-back games three times, in 1948-1949, again in 1981-1982 and again in 2000-2001. The largest margin of victory for Whitewater was 67-0 win in 1974, also the most
73 points UW-W has scored. Stout‟s largest margin of victory was 33-20 in 1981. The Blue Devils scored 43 in a 45-43 loss in 1998, also the game that produced the most points combined.
The Coaches: Whitewater‟s Lance Leipold is in his third season. He is 32-3 coming in to this game, including 15-1 in the WIAC. Duey Naatz, also in his third year of coaching UW-Stout, is 13-12 overall and 7-9 in the WIAC.
Warhawks Meet Ralph Cramden: After playing four consecutive home games the Warhawks are going to have to climb on a bus to play at Williams Stadium in Menomonie. (As an aside: thank goodness for “Williams” and WIAC athletics: Williams Center at UW-W, Williams Fieldhouse at UW-Platteville, and Stout‟s facility.) UW-S played three of its first four games at home, winning all four, before the narrow loss at UW-Stevens Point last week.
The Warhawks so Far: Coaches have made it a cliché, but Whitewater is a balanced offense. UW-W has more passing yards than rushing in three games, thus two for rushing. The Warhawks have gained 1,339 yards passing and 1,238 rushing. UW-W‟s scoring has been distributed evenly through five games, scoring the most (62) in the first quarter and the least (49) in the fourth. The Whitewater defense has not given up a point in the first quarter this season. UW-W has the top scoring offense (42.2 points), rushing offense (247.6 yards), and passing offense (267.8) in the WIAC.
The offensive line has given up just one sack this season. The Warhawks are also number one in total defense (205.4), scoring defense (5.4) and pass defense (114.2). Jeff Donovan leads the league in passing efficiency and Levell Coppage is the league‟s top rusher. Coppage is the team‟s Offensive Player of the Week, the WIAC Offensive Player of the Week, and a member of D3football.com‟s Team of the Week.
The Blue Devils so Far: Led by Craig Warminski, Stout has the number two rushing offense in the WIAC (226.4). Warminski is fourth in the league, averaging 100.4 yards per game and 5.0 yards per carry. He had his best game of the season last week, rushing for 138 yards in the Blue Devils‟ loss at Stevens Point. UW-S also has the number two scoring defense (9.2), along with UW-W the only two teams in the league in single digits. Stout is also second in pass defense (129.6) and total defense (218.6). Although UW-W has given up just one sack this season, UW-Stout is the leader in sacks with 14. Defensive end Marcus Ball returned from a three game absence because of an injury to earn D3football.com Team of the Week recognition after recording three sacks, three tackles for a loss, two forced fumbles and five tackles against Point. Linebacker Jamin Ramsey has three sacks on the season and six tackles for a loss and DB Kendall Wade tops the team with three interceptions and seven passes broken up. Even at 5.0 per carry Warminski is below the team average (5.1). Carlos Concepion (6.9), Ross Carey (4.0), and Ron Fricke (6.7) add to the potent running attack. Carey, the Stout QB, is a double threat. He has completed 52% of his passes for 132.6 yards per game, with six TD‟s and two interceptions. Warminski is also a concern coming out of the backfield for a Carey pass, with ten catches this season. Carey‟s number one target is Patrick Mengelkoch (15-175-2).
Last Year’s Game: Whitewater won 17-10 at Perkins Stadium. Bruce Langer, quarterbacking for an injured Jeff Donovan, ran eight yards to give Whitewater a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. Langer also had a hand in the second TD, hooking up with Aaron Rusch for a 39-yard score to make it 14-0 Whitewater at halftime. Jeff Schebler‟s 46-yard field goal in the third upped the Warhawk margin to 17-0. Stout began a comeback with a 36-yard Kyle Martin field goal on the following possession. With 7:42 left in the game Kyle Provos dumped the ball to Nate Schoenecker from the two to pull within 17-10. The Blue Devils kept the pressure on, intercepting a pass at their own 44 on Whitewater‟s next possession before stalling at the Whitewater 39. Still, the Blue Devils weren‟t finished. Whitewater went three and out, and with 2:38 left in the game UW-S took over at their own 31. Thirteen plays later it was first and ten from Whitewater‟s 19. With just six seconds left a final pass attempt went incomplete.
Stout‟s offense had 21 first downs, while Whitewater had a season low five. The Blue Devils out-gained the Warhawks 315-236, and held on to the ball 37:00 minutes (to 23 for UW-W). Provos went 16-39 for 170 yards and the TD and INT, with seven different receivers. Langer was 8-22 for 166 yards, and also
74 one TD and one interception for Whitewater. Rusch was the leading receiver in the game with five catches for 105 yards. Craig Warminski rushed 19 times for 57 yards for Stout, Levell Coppage 17 for 61 for Whitewater.
The teams combined for 15 punts. UW-W linebackers Jace Rindahl and Lane Olson were the leading tacklers in the game with 11 apiece. Rindahl also had a tackle for a loss and a sack. Stout‟s Marcus Ball had two tackles for a loss and the interception, along with five tackles to lead his team.
The Record Book: UW-W placekicker Jeff Schebler scored eight points in the Eau Claire win, putting him one point away from tying the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III kick scoring record of 383 held by Mike Zimmerman of Mount Union College (2003-2005), and fifty away from the NCAA all division record held by Art Carmody of the University of Louisville (NCAA Football Bowl Series). Tailback Levell Coppage was named UW-W Offensive Player of the Week, WIAC Offensive Player of the Week, and one of two running backs on the D3football.com Team of the Week after carrying the ball 42 times for 386 yards last Saturday. That is the most rushing yardage in school history, and second most in the history of the WIAC. Jeff Donovan, at .748 with his completion percentage, could challenge the Division III record of .750 set by Greg Michelli of Mount Union last year. Donovan has thrown for ten touchdowns without an interception. Aaron Rusch, already among the top ten in career receptions and receiving yardage, is poised to pass a former teammate. Rusch has accumulated 2,089 yards in his career, just ten yards shy of Neil Mrkvicka (2004-2007) for fourth place in the school record book. Rusch has caught 151 passes for fifth place on that list, one reception away from Roger Gename (1973-75), three away from Joe Gerlach (1979-82) in third place, and just four away from tying Mrkvicka for second place.

The Series: UW-W leads the all-time series, which began in 1914, 29-18-3. The largest margin of victory for UW-W came in a 58-2 win in Whitewater in 1970, the season Perkins Stadium opened. This is also the most points UW-W has scored against the Falcons. Whitewater‟s longest win streak is seven games, which is current. The Warhawks also went seven games without a loss from 1959-1970, but that string includes a 14-14 tie in 1973. River Falls‟ largest winning margin came in a 42-0 1989 win in River Falls.

Home Sweet Home: Whitewater has a 33-1 record in Perkins Stadium since the start of the 2005 season.
There’s No “I” in Defense: The UW-W defense, first in the WIAC in scoring defense (5.0), total defense (202.0), pass defense (117.0) and rushing defense (85.0), has not allowed an opponent to score in the first quarter this season. But other than linebacker Lane Olson (tied for third in sacks, 0.7/game, and fumbles forced, tied for eighth 0.2) and DB Troney Shumpert (tied for fourth in passes defended, 1.17/game) no Warhawk is among the top ten in a defensive category.
King of the Hill (Tee): Placekicker Jeff Schebler broke the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III kick scoring record in the win at Stout last weekend. Schebler, who has compiled 390 points in his career, passed former Mount Union kicker Mike Zimmerman (383, 2005-2007). At his current pace Schebler is within reach of the NCAA Football Championship Series record of 407 (Dan Carpenter, Montana, 2004-2007); the Division II mark of 420 (Jeff Glas, North Dakota, 2002-2005) and the Football Bowl Series record of 433 (Art Carmody, Louisville, 2004-2007).
Rusch Stock Climbing: Junior wide receiver Aaron Rusch is climbing up the Warhawk record charts. Rusch has totaled 156 catches for 2,164 yards in his career. The receptions total is second all- time, just behind the 162 accumulated by Jim Leszczynski (2002-2005). Rusch is looking up at Joe Gerlach (2,250, 1979-82) for fourth place on the yards receiving list. Derek Stanley (2003-2006) is number one in receiving yards with 2,621.
(Not) New Balance: The Warhawk offense leads the WIAC in scoring (41.5), total offense (501.3), and rushing offense (209.3). Jeff Donovan leads WIAC quarterbacks in passing efficiency, with 12 touchdowns, one interception, and a .752 completion percentage. Donovan‟s throwing is set up by (or vice versa) the running game. Sophomore tailback Levell Coppage leads the league in rushing at 134.8 yards per game, 6.5 yards per attempt. Coppage and Donovan are products of an offensive line that averages 5.5 yards per rushing attempt and has allowed just one sack this season.
Falcon Notes: UW-RF is nine points away from being unbeaten this season. Their “worst” loss was a four-pointer (28-24) against the number five team in the NCAA III poll, Saint John‟s (MN). Then there was a 13-12 overtime loss at Stout, a two-pointer against UW-Oshkosh, and last week‟s 49-47 loss to La
77
Crosse that went three overtimes. With four overtimes in their pocket the Falcons have already played almost the equivalent of an extra game.
UW-RF sophomore tailback Taylor Edwards, who hails from just down the road in Janesville, is right behind Coppage in the WIAC rushing stats with a 128.7 average. Edwards has two 200+ games to his credit, rushing 30-246 against Alma and 39-209 versus Stout. Last week Taylor carried a big load, lugging the ball 44 times for 142 yards and three TD‟s against La Crosse. Taylor headlines an offense that ranks second in the WIAC rushing, along with UW-W the only schools to average more than 200 yards per game.
The Falcons lead the WIAC in red zone offense (88.5) and are number two in red zone defense. In fact, they switch places with UW-W in both categories.
Senior linebacker Cole Lowell leads the defense, averaging 8.3 tackles per game, fifth in the WIAC. Senior linemen Derek Nette and Mike Larson have combined for twelve tackles behind the line of scrimmage, and are the Falcon leaders in sacks (2.5 and 2.0 respectively).
UW-RF and UW-L traded touchdowns three times in the OT‟s last Saturday. The Eagles completed a pass for a two point conversion on their third score to end the game. River Falls jumped ahead 10-0, but La Crosse led 27-24 in the fourth. RF kicker Drake Klatt hit a 46 yard field goal with 1:29 left to send the game into OT. It was, is, Klatt‟s first and only field goal of the season.
UW-RF also leads the WIAC in kickoff returns with a 20.8 yard average.
National Polls: UW-W is ranked second by both the American Football Coaches Association (afca.com) and D3football.com (d3football.com). UW-RF is not ranked. UW-La Crosse and UW-Stevens Point are both in the “others receiving votes” category of both polls.

The Series: UW-W leads the all-time series, which began in 1895, 53-33. The largest margin of victory for UW-W came in a pair of 54-0 games in 1923 and 1971. Whitewater‟s longest win streak is nine games, from ‟68 to ‟76. Stevens Point‟s largest winning margin came in a 43-3 win in 1977.

Last Year: UW-Stevens Point won 17-16 in Perkin Stadium October 25. The Pointer win ended UW-W‟s WIAC record-tying 25 game win streak and ended Whitewater‟s string of 27 consecutive wins at Perkins Stadium. Whitewater turned the opening kickoff into a Jeff Donovan to Aaron Rusch 33 yard touchdown, but the Pointers blocked the PAT. The Pointers, using nine consecutive pass plays, converted on a 20 yard Ryan Grabowski field goal on their first possession. UW-W fumbled the ensuing kickoff return but the Warhawk defense topped UW-SP on a fourth and one. Grabowski added another field goal later in the quarter to knot the game at 6-6. An interception by Paul Wick set UW-W up in Pointer territory in the second quarter, and Levell Coppage went 35 yards to give UW-W a 13-6 lead going in to the locker rooms. Defenses dominated the third quarter with no change on the scoreboard. Early in the fourth Grabowski came through again for the Pointers, hitting from 22 yards out after the Warhawk defense stopped UW-SP at the five. With about five minutes left in the game it was the Point defense that stiffened, stopping UW-W at the Point one yard line, with Jeff Schebler booting a field goal that made it 16-9 Whitewater. After both teams failed to move the ball, UW-SP took possession at their own 16. The Pointers moved the length of the field, six completions from Jared Beckwith to Jared Jenkins (and one Beckwith scramble), to score with fifteen seconds left. Beckwith and Jenkins teamed up again on the two point conversion for the win. Beckwith completed 29-55 passes for 234 yards, 10-125 to Jenkins.
Pointer Notes: UW-SP will apply pressure to a Warhawk offense that has given up just two sacks this season. The Pointers rank twenty-third in Division III in sacks per game, 3.0, and sixteenth in tackles for a loss (8.5/game). DE Matt Lunder leads the team with 15 tackles for a loss and five sacks. DT Pierce Follansbe-DeLong has ten TFL and four sacks, and DE Charlie Diercks has contributed five sacks. UW- SP opened the season with a loss, but an impressive 22-21 decision to now undefeated Central College, ranked among the top five in both Division III polls. The Pointers also may have knocked UW-La Crosse out of contention for the WIAC crown with a 26-14 win last week. Both of those performances came on the road, where UW-SP has played five of its seven games this season.
Chip Hilton Lives: UW-SP‟s Jared Jenkins is a throwback. Not only does he rank sixth in Division III receiving yards per game, 128.8, and eighth in receptions per game, 8.7, but he is also third in DIII punting at 43.6 per kick. Jenkins and the Point punt team rank third in net punting yards. For good measure, Jenkins is also 2-2 for 27 yards passing and 4-53 rushing the ball.
Warhawk Notes: In the NCAA III statistics, UW-W is fifth in total offense (496.3/game) and sixth in scoring (41.0). Although there have been some injuries in the line, that unit has kept UW-W second in passing efficiency and is second in sacks allowed (0.3/game).

80 this season, compared to eleven for UW-SP. That isn‟t to say that one way is better than the other, just that UW-W‟s philosophy of getting playing time for backups has paid dividends for this year‟s team (see Warhawk Notes) and possibly next year‟s as well.

UW-W won its fifth straight WIAC football title, second longest in league history and the second longest reign by any sport at UW-Whitewater.

The Warhawk Record Book: WR Aaron Rusch is in fourth place in the school career receiving yards category with with 2,359, with Jim Leszczynski (2002-2005) in third at 2,547. Rusch is Whitewater's all- time leader in receptions with 170. RB Levell Coppage has moved in to seventh with 3,094 career rushing yards, looking up at Eddie McKennie (1994-97) in sixth at 3,354. Coppage also has 45 career rushing TD's, breaking Justin Beaver's mark of 44 (2004-2007). Coppage has also moved into second place in the WIAC career book, with 51 by Greg Corning of UW-River Falls (1994-97) number one. Coppage's season total of 24 TD's equals Beaver's 24 in 2005 -- which is also the WIAC record. Also, with 1,434 yards this season Coppage has climbed into eighth place at UW-W, with his own mark of 1,461 last year in seventh and 1,474 by John Damato (1997) sixth, and 1,567 by George Rainey (1997) in fifth. QB Jeff Donovan has thrown for 37 TD's for fifth place on the UW-W career list. Mike LaLoggia (1977-79) is fourth with 38.

89
October. The Mitchell Award, new this year, will recognize the top placekicker in Division II/Division III (combined, not one each).
Lakeland Last Week: The Muskies also clinched sole possession of their conference title last week. LC‟s 28-0 win over Aurora gave them a 6-1 mark in Northern Athletics Conference action and the league‟s berth in the NCAA playoffs. Jake Dworak completed 13-20 passes for 231 yards of Lakeland‟s offensive total of 371. The LC defense limited Aurora to 202 yards.
Lakeland This Year: Lakeland fits the team concept to a “T”. Lakeland did not lead the NAC in any team statistical category, and the only two individual categories the Muskies led were punt returns (Jake Heinemeyer, 9.2 yards per attempt) and fumbles recovered (4 by Will Baldwin). The 6-4 record is also deceiving, because LC lost the season opener to Central College, which went 10-0 and is hosting a NCAA III first round game. Another loss came at the hands of Mount Saint Joseph, and the Gaels are taking a 9-1 record into the playoffs. A third loss was to Carthage College, which went 7-3. The Muskies are seventeenth in Division III in kickoff returns (23.12 per attempt), and their defense is tenth in tackles for a loss at almost nine (8.9) per game. Justin Laack (26.2) and Heinemeyer (24.7) are dangerous on kickoffs. DL Josh Gordon leads the team with 15 tackles for a loss, but twenty Muskies recorded at least one and seven had at least six for the season. Gordon‟s DL mate leads the team with five sacks and is second to Gordon with nine tackles for a loss. DB Tony Faller tops the team with 66 total tackles. The defense racked up three shutouts. The LC offense features the passing of Jake Dworak, who tossed 24 TD‟s and accumulated 2,323 yards. Roberto Flores caught 52 passes and Heinemeyer 48, with eye- popping 18.4 and 16.7 per catch averages, respectively. Jeremy Williams tops the team with 759 yards rushing, 3.7 per attempt. National Polls: UW-Whitewater is ranked second in the D3football.com poll and second in the American Football Coaches Association Division III poll this week. Lakeland College is not ranked.
The Schedule/Tickets: The Whitewater-Lakeland winner will match up with the winner of Wabash and Illinois Wesleyan, the location is TBA. If UW-W advances information will be posted on the UW-W athletics web site, www.uwwsports.com, by noon Monday. The UW-W ticket office, located in the Connor University Center on the main campus mall, can be reached at 262-472-2222.

Won-Loss: UW-Whitewater is 11-0 overall. UW-W earned its NCAA berth by winning the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference with a 7-0 record. Illinois Wesleyan went 10-1 overall, winning the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin with a 6-1 record to earn the school‟s first automatic bid.
This Season: UW-W defeated Dickinson State 38-3 (currently 7-3), Midland Lutheran 58-0 (6-5), Puget Sound 42-7 (0-9), UW-Platteville 35-3 (3-7), UW-Eau Claire 38-14 (6-4), UW-Stout 38-3 (8-2), UW-River Falls 38-14 (3-7), UW-Stevens Point 41-12 (7-3), UW-Oshkosh 40-7 (4-6), UW-La Crosse 58-21 (5-5), and last Saturday defeating -Lakeland College 70-7 (6-4) .

Illinois Wesleyan defeated Hope College 28-25 (3-7), Alma College 43-7 (5-5), Aurora University 52-8 (4-6), Carthage College 42-16 (7-3), lost to Millikin University 19-13 (6-4), defeated Augustana College 7-0 (6-4), Elmhurst College 20-7( 4-6), North Central College 28-22 in OT (8-2), Wheaton College 20-17 (7-3), North Park University 49-0 (1-9), and Wabash
92
College 41-35 in 2OT (9-2). Illinois Wesleyan 5-1 at home and 5-0 on the road. Illinois Wesleyan‟s opponents combined for a record of 60-53.
By the Numbers (Football AARP): UW-W‟s offensive line averages 280 pounds. It matches up with the Titans‟ defensive line that averages 245 pounds. On the other side of the ball, the UW-W defensive front averages 267 pounds versus an Illinois Wesleyan offensive line that averages 280. UW-W starts three seniors and no freshmen on offense, and seven seniors and no freshmen on defense. Illinois Wesleyan starts nine seniors and no freshmen on offense, and eight seniors and no freshmen on defense.
The Un-Series: There is no series. This is the first time these schools have met in football.
The Coaches: Whitewater‟s Lance Leipold, in his third season, is 38-3 overall and 19-1 in WIAC play. Illinois Wesleyan head coach Norm Each, in his 22nd season with the Titans, holds a record of 132- 77-1 and 95-60-1 in CCIW play.
Whitewater Last Week: The Warhawks gave up their first points in the first quarter this season on a Lakeland touchdown, but that is being picky if you‟re looking for a problem in UW-W‟s 70-7 win. The starters played the first half and only the NCAA roster limit kept UW-W from substituting a complete third team.
Climbing the Charts, with a Bullet: Aaron Rusch, UW-W‟s career leader in receptions with 173, is third in career yards with 2.389. Jim Leszczynski (2002-2005) is in second with 2.547. Levell Coppage‟s 27 rushing TD‟s this season is the WIAC record. He has rushed for 1,576 yards, fifth best season total in the UW-W record book. Travis Talton (1988) is fourth at 1,599, and Spencer Johnson (1994) is third with 1,697. Jeff Donovan has 39 TD tosses in his career for fourth place in the school book, with the coach that recruited him, Bob Berezowitz (1963-66) in third with 44. Donovan‟s 22 TD‟s this season is also fourth, with Brez in third with 27 (1966). DL Anthony White is tied for fifth in career sacks with 19, with Ryan Ogrizovich (2004-2007) third with 23. As a team, Whitewater is way ahead of the school record pace for pass completion percentage. The record of .625 was set in 1979, but this year‟s team has a .729 completion rate. A big reason for that is an offensive line that has allowed just three sacks this season, which would also be a school record if the category existed. Jeff Schebler became the all-time, all division NCAA kick scoring leader with ten PAT‟s against Lakeland. Schebler has 437 points, surpassing the previous record of 433 by Art Carmody of Louisville (2004-2007).
Pitcher’s Duel (or FB Equivalent): If you want to see points scored this game might not be up your alley. The Titan defense is fourth in total defense (226.9 yards/game), tenth in rushing (74.0) and thirteenth in scoring (14.0) in Division III. The Warhawks are third in scoring defense (8.27), sixth in total yards (236.0), twenty-second in rush defense (86.1), and twenty-fourth in pass defense (149.9). Six members of the IWU defense earned All-College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin first team honors. The group included DB‟s P.J. Cummings and Roman Hunter, linemen Max Brooks and Ryan Jenkins, and linebacker Don Rogers. Linebacker Nick Nikolich, the team‟s leading tackler along with 14 tackles for a loss and six sacks was the CCIW Defensive Player of the Year. Cummings, just a sophomore On the UW-W side, LB Kyle Supianoski, DL Anthony White, and DB Troney Shumpert were All-WIAC first team.
Home Run Derby (or FB Equivalent): Whitewater‟s offense is fourth in scoring (45.1), fourth in yards (500.6) and fourteenth in rushing (245.9). Six Warhawks were named first team all-conference, including linemen Matt Weber, Robbie Ustruck and Garth Coats; QB Jeff Donovan, RB Levell Coppage, and WR Aaron Rusch. Donovan was chosen the WIAC Player of the Year. In a head scratcher IWU did not have any offensive players named first team all-conference. The Titans averaged 4.4 yards per rush as a team, and TB Eli Williams averages 5.3 with 856 yards. The two-headed monster at QB, Kraig Ladd and Brien Rooney both complete more than 60% of their passes and totaled 28 touchdowns and just eight interceptions. Receivers Chris Messina and Jack Scalcucci had 54 and 53 catches, respectively; were both in double figures per catch, and combined for 19 TD‟s.
93
Not Exactly Arbitron (the Ratings Game): UW-Whitewater played two teams this season that are mentioned in national polls. UW-Stevens Point and UW-Stout are both among the “others receiving votes” in the D3football.com poll, and UW-Stout is in the AFCA‟s “others”. IWU beat North Central (17, 18), and Carthage and Wheaton (“others” in both polls).
Wesleyan Last Week: Appropriate for a game in the heart of the Midwest, it was a barn-burner. IWU defeated Wabash College 41-35 in double overtime in Bloomington. Wesleyan led 7-0 after one quarter, 21-14 at halftime, and 21-20 after three. Wabash finally took the lead with 13:31 left, using a pass play for a two point conversion to go up 28-21. IWU tied it with 6:20 left and kicked the tying PAT. Both teams scored TD‟s and kicked the PAT in the first OT when they started at the opponent‟s 25.. IWU stopped Wabash and then, after a penalty set them back to the 30, scored on a Kraig Ladd to Jack Scalcucci pass. The teams combined for 49 first downs, 584 yards passing and 256 yards rushing. There were only seven punts in the game.
Whitewater Last Week: Lakeland tied the game 7-7 with a first quarter touchdown, the only first quarter points allowed by UW-W this season, but that is nit-picking. UW-W averaged 7.5 yards per rush, rushed for 16 first downs to one for Lakeland, and rushed for seven TD‟s. Whitewater did not turn the ball over or allow a sack. UW-W raised its record to 14-3 in NCAA III playoff games in Perkins Stadium, 13-0 since the start of the 2005 playoffs.
Tickets/Schedule: The Whitewater-Illinois Wesleyan winner will match up with the winner of Trine and Wittenberg. If UW-Whitewater wins November 28 it will play at home December 5 in a quarterfinal that will kick off at 12:00 in Perkins Stadium. The UW-W ticket office, located in the Connor University Center on the main campus mall, can be reached at 262-472-2222. Ticket prices are $10 for adults and $4 for senior citizens/students.

UW-W starts three seniors and no freshmen on offense, and seven seniors and no freshmen on defense.

Attention Ben Bernanke, Geithner; The Fed should be so balanced. Wittenberg has rushed for 2,746 yards and passed for 2,723. The Tigers have five receivers in double figures and three running backs averaging at least 5.5 yards per carry. Whitewater has rushed for 2,941 yards and passed for 3,073. The Warhawks have six receivers in double figures and four back that average at least 5.3 yards per carry.
The Series: Although the teams have never met the Warhawks have fond memories of Wittenberg. The UW-W men‟s basketball team defeated Centre College in the semifinals and Trenton State University (now The College of New Jersey) in the championship game of the NCAA III men‟s basketball final four, hosted by Wittenberg.
The Series 2: Wittenberg beat Wabash College 10-7 October 17 at Wabash. Wabash lost to Illinois Wesleyan 41-35 in the first round of the playoffs. Whitewater defeated Illinois Wesleyan 45-7 last week. (This is the same kind of logic that says Emporia State should be the BCS champion because of the comparison game, who beat who beat who ...). The Coaches: Whitewater‟s Lance Leipold, in his third season, is 39-3 overall and 19-1 in WIAC play. Wittenberg head coach Joe Finchman, in his fourteenth season with the Titans, holds a record of 114-29 and 78-14 in NCAC play.

It was 14-7 in the first quarter and just 21-7 at halftime, but the Warhawks added 14 points in the third and fourth quarters. UW- W rolled up 507 yards of offense and gave up 206, just 30 on the ground. Levell Coppage rushed 32 times for 188 yards, and Jeff Donovan completed 21-28 for 271 yards and three TD‟s. Donovan completed passes for nine different receivers.
In the Polls: UW-Whitewater was ranked second in the final regular season poll by both D3football.com and the American Football Coaches Association. Wittenberg was ranked twelfth by D3 and eleventh in the AFCA poll.
Mirror, Mirror …: These two teams are so much alike they could switch uniforms at half and no one would know the difference. For those who arrive fashionably late for the noon kickoff they probably won‟t miss any scoring. UW-Whitewater has given up seven points in the first quarter all year -- and so has Wittenberg. Wittenberg is number one in Division III in total defense (172.7), number one in scoring defense (7.0), third in pass efficiency defense, and sixth in rushing defense (67.4). UW-Whitewater is third in scoring defense (8.2) and fourth in total defense (233.5).
On the other side of the coin, Whitewater is fourth in total offense (501.2), fourth in scoring offense (45.1) and third in pass efficiency. Wittenberg is eleventh in total offense (455.8) and fifteenth in scoring (38.7).
As you would expect from two of the final eight teams in the playoffs, both teams have individuals ranked in the national stats. What is most striking (or predictable, depending on coaching philosophy) is that teams that have combined to go 24-0 and rank highly in every team statistic don‟t have more players listed. WU QB Aaron Huffman is seventh in passing efficiency, DE Eddie Valery is tied for third in sacks
95
(1.29/game) and tied for sixteenth in tackles for a loss ((1.75). Warhawk TB Levell Coppage is third in rushing (147.0) and first in scoring (14.5/game), and QB Jeff Donovan is third in passing efficiency.
Wittenberg Last Week: Wittenberg got out front with a 7-0 first quarter lead, then boosted the margin with a 20-point second quarter to lead 27-7 at the half. WU punted just once in the game and controlled the ball for almost 39 minutes. TB Corey Weber rushed 34 times for 204 yards, and Aaron Huffman went 16-22 for 208 yards and five touchdowns. The Tigers had six tackles for a loss in the game, two by Verley.
Been There, Done That: Whitewater has been in the playoffs five consecutive years, advancing to the championship game in the previous four. Wittenberg had a successful run in the 70‟s. The Tigers won NCAA III titles in 1973 and 1975, and finished second in 1978 and 1979.
Winning Ways: UW-W is 67-5 overall since the kickoff of the 2005 season and 39-1 vs. WIAC opponents since 2005. At Perkins Stadium UW-W is 15-3 all time in the playoffs, 14-0 since 2005. Overall they have won 37 of their last 38 in Perkins Stadium.
Tickets/Schedule: The Whitewater-Wittenberg winner will match up with the winner of St. Thomas MN- Linfield game.

Warhawks Tame Tigers, Will Host NCAA Semifinal
December 5, 2009 UW-Whitewater defeated Wittenberg University 31-13 Saturday in a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III playoff quarterfinal game in Perkins Stadium in Whitewater, Wisconsin.

Tickets are available at the Connor University Center ticket office Monday-Friday, by calling 262- 472-2222, and at the stadium on game day.
It was no surprise, but neither team scored in the first quarter. The Warhawks and Tigers have both allowed just one touchdown in the first quarter this season. Both teams were ranked among the top defenses (scoring and total yards) in Division III.
The first quarter was definitely not a precursor to the second, when the tempo of the game seemed to do a 180.
Wittenberg went for a first down on a fourth and three from Whitewater's 36. UW-W defensive tackle Wesley Hicks sacked Tiger QB Aaron Huffman and Whitewater took over at their 37.
Whitewater went 63 yards on seven plays, including five runs by Levell Coppage. Jeff Donovan hooked up Jordan Wells for 26 yards and ended the drive with a 23 yard toss to Aaron Rusch for the score. Jeff Schebler's kick made it 7-0 with 14:17 left in the first half.
Wittenberg responded immediately, taking the next kickoff and driving 82 yards on eight plays. The big play was Huffman to Michael Cooper for 35 yards, and two plays later Huffman found Patrick Williams for 24 yards to the one. After a loss of one, Huffman ran it in to get Wittenberg on the board.; The Tigers missed the extra point; 7-6 Whitewater at 10:26.
The momentum swung back to UW-W on the next drive, Donovan finding Adam Brandes for 24 yards on the first play, mixing in a 16 yard toss to Cory Robinson, and finishing one play later with Antwan Anderson scoring from seven yards out. Schebler's PAT made it 14-6 UW-W with 8:29 left in the second.
96
Immediately Wittenberg seized the momentum, mounting a 79 yard drive that ate up 7:49. Facing a third and 12 at the Whitewater 42 Huffman hit Josh McKee for 24 yards down to the Whitewater 18. Two plays Huffman went back to pass, but was sandwiched by linebackers Lane Olson and Max Ford. Huffman appeared to suffer an injury on the play and did not return to the game. Backup QB Ben Zoeller made his first play count, hitting Cooper for the 11 yard TD. Zack Harris made the PAT for a 14-13 Whitewater lead with 0:32 left.
The 14-13 lead was the closest any team has been to UW-W at halftime since the Warhawks trailed Mount Union 24-10 in last year's Stagg Bowl. The closest any opponent has been to UW-W this year was a 17-6 lead at home against UW-Eau Claire October 10.
The third quarter reverted to the tone set in the first, with UW-W finally breaking through with 0:51 left in the quarter on Donovan to Adam Brandes 28 yard TD. Schebler made it 21-13.
After stopping the Tigers, UW-W took over at its own 15. Coppage rushed seven times for 49 yards on the ensuing drive, which ended with Schebler's 35 yard field goal with 5:48 left in the game to make it 24- 13 in favor of the Warhawks.
UW-W senior defensive back Troney Shumpert ended Wittenberg's next drive with an interception he returned 36 yards to the WU 12. Three more runs by Coppage ended the drive. Schebler's PAT ended the scoring in the game with 3:45 left on the clock.
UW-W scoring 31 points against the number ranked defense in Division III, which had been allowing 7.0 points per game. Wittenberg was also number one in total defense at 172.7 yards per game, but Whitewater totaled more than double that at 347.
Wittenberg gained 21 yards rushing on 31 attempts, with the UW-W picking up four QB sacks, two by Hicks.
UW-W's Coppage rushed 25 times for 123 yards against a Wittenberg defense that came in allowing 67.4 yards per game. The Warhawks also passed for 236 yards, 18-25, against the WU unit that ranked sixth in Division III at 105.3 yards per game. Rusch led UW-W with seven catches for 92 yards. Shumpert, White, and Olson led the Warhawks with eight tackles apiece. Warhawk senior receiver Jordan Wells, who had one catch for 26 yards, passed Jim Knoblauch (1966) for tenth place in the UW-W single season record book with 814 yards, and ninth with 53 receptions.
Wittenberg linebacker Brad McKinley led both teams with ten tackles and one tackle for a loss. WU wide receiver Josh McKee led all receivers with ten catches for 100 yards. Tailback Corey Weber, who came in to the game averaging 95.4 yards per game and 5.6 per carry, was limited to 36 yards on 15 carries, a 2.4 average.
UW-Whitewater advances to the NCAA III playoff semifinal round for the fifth consecutive year. The Warhawks will host Linfield College, a 31-20 winner over the University of Saint Thomas in another quartefinal Saturday.
In 2005 UW-W defeated Wesley College 58-6 in a semifinal, and Wesley again in 2006 44-7. In 2007 Whitewater advanced to the Stagg Bowl with a 16-7 win over Mary Hardin-Baylor, and last year The Warhawks topped Mary Hardin-Baylor again 39-13 in the semifinals.

The Series: It isn‟t a long series. In fact it isn‟t a series at all since it is just one game. But for the 5,000 fans that witnessed the game in person and anyone else following the game via today‟s whiz bang technology it may be the most memorable game any can recall. It was December 3, 2005 in a NCAA III playoff quarterfinal game in McMinnville, Oregon. It was a symphony of football rose on a crescendo to a fan-exhausting climax.
In a nutshell … no wait, this game couldn’t be done in a nutshell. Whitewater scored first on a field goal. Linfield went in front with a first quarter touchdown. UW-W came back to lead 10-7 at the end of one. Linfield went 82 yards to take a 13-10 lead early in the second quarter. Midway through the quarter UW-W linebacker A.J. Raebel intercepted a Blake Elliott pass and returned it 32 yards to give the lead back to UW-W, 17-13. Elliot came back on the next drive, after a kickoff return gave them the ball in Whitewater territory, to give Linfield the 20-17 leads with 5:25 left in the half. Three plays after the ensuing kickoff Justin Jacobs hit Derek Stanley for a 61 yard score making it 24-20 Whitewater with 4:14 left. Another long kickoff return by Linfield put them near midfield, and that was close enough for the Wildcats to score with 1:14 left to take back the lead, 27-24. You may have guessed, but one minute plus was still enough time for either of these teams to score. A Jacobs to Stanley connection for 54 yards put the ball on the Linfield one, but Linfield intercepted Jacobs on a third and one to end the half. The Warhawks picked off an Elliott pass in the third and five plays later turned it into a lead change, 30-27. A Mike Chaulk field goal on Whitewater‟s next drive provided the largest margin of the day, 37-27. That lasted just over two minutes as the Wildcats went 70 yards in six plays to cut the lead back to 37-34 as the third quarter ended. Linfield started the fourth with another Elliott pass for a TD to put LC in front 41- 37 with 13:21 left in the game. Whitewater responded with a drive to the Linfield 26, but Bran Hazelburg intercepted a Jacobs‟ pass to end that threat. The Wildcats returned the favor, with UW-W‟s Ryan Ogrizovich picking up a fumble and returning it to the Linfield four. The Wildcat defense kept UW-W out of the end zone. In return, the UW-W defense didn‟t let Linfield move out of their red zone. Their punt gave UW-W the ball on the LC 42 and the Warhawks took it in with just 0:42 left for a 44-41 lead. Given the tempo of the game and the Wildcat passing attack nothing could be taken for granted, but seven pass plays later the clock ran out with Linfield on their own 48.

STAGG BOWL HISTORY
2005 Salem, Va.--The greatest season in UW-Whitewater football history ended in Salem Civic Stadium with a 35-28 loss to Mount Union College (Ohio) in the NCAA Division III national championship, the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl on December 17.
UW-Whitewater got the first break of the game, when defensive back Vic Wipperfurth picked off a Mike Jorris pass, returning the ball 32 yards to the Mount Union 42-yard line. UW-Whitewater converted the opportunity, ending the five-play 42-yard drive with a two-yard touchdown run by Justin Beaver, extending his school season record with his 24th touchdown, to give UW-Whitewater a 7-0 lead at 9:54.
It took Mount Union just over three minutes to even the score, covering 80 yards in four plays, the biggest coming on a Jorris to Pierre Garcon 63-yard scoring toss at 6:32.
The same duo gave Mount Union the lead at 5:03 in the second, this time with Jorris hooking up with Garcon for 12 yards, wrapping up eight plays that covered 58 yards.
The half ended 14-7 Mount Union, with UW-Whitewater's Beaver gaining 47 on nine carries, which is where he also ended the half, only with 15 carries.
In the third quarter the Warhawks moved down the field, advancing to the Mount Union three yard line. After no gain on third down, UW-Whitewater went for the touchdown on fourth down and the pass fell incomplete. Two plays later, freshman running back Nate Kmic took the ball 95 yards to open a 21-7 margin with 8:05 left in the third.
UW-Whitewater's offense moved the ball down the field on its next possession, but the drive ended when Mount Union picked off a Jacobs pass intended for Jim Leszczynski near the five yard line. The Purple Raiders turned that miscue into seven points, with Kmic going in from two yards out to increase the margin to 28-7.
UW-Whitewater came back at 12:22 on a Jacobs to Leszczynski 23-yard touchdown to cut the margin to 28-14.

2006 Salem, Va.--For the second straight season, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater fell short against Mount Union College (Ohio) in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl for the NCAA Division III football national championship.
Pierre Garcon scored two touchdowns in the second half and the Purple Raiders defense held the Warhawks to three second half points as Mount Union emerged with a 35-16 victory in front of 6,051 spectators at Salem Stadium.
Purple Raider signal-caller Greg Micheli was named the game‟s Most Outstanding Player, having led his squad off the bench in Mount Union‟s two quarterback system. Micheli set a new NCAA Division III Championship record buy completing 18-of-22 passing for an .818 completion percentage. He threw for 202 yards and three scores, and also ran for 42 yards and one more touchdown.
The win for the Raiders marked the program‟s ninth in 10 total visits to Salem, Virginia. This contest, the 34th Stagg Bowl, marked the only repeat performance in the contest‟s storied history.
“This was a great football game today,” explained Mount Union head coach Larry Kehres. “We played our best game of the season. We played more aggressive. I think we defeated a great team. We felt we had to play that way because Whitewater is a great team and they brought out the best in us.”
“First of all I would like to extend on the behalf of my football program congratulations to Mount Union,” mentioned UW-Whitewater head coach Bob Berezowitz. “They were a better football team than we were today. Credit goes to Larry (Coach Kehres). He has always had an outstanding program.”
217
"I really feel for our team," Berezowitz continued. "We had a slogan of "Unfinished Business" for this season and we would have liked to complete that, but our players have accomplished something the last two years that no other Whitewater football team in history has done."
UW-Whitewater scored first on a 25-yard field goal with by Jeff Schebler with 2:14 left in the opening quarter. The 3-0 UW-Whitewater lead marked the first time the Purple Raiders trailed in a game since the first quarter of last year‟s Stagg Bowl, a string of 59 straight quarters.
The deficit didn‟t last long as Mount Union jumped on the board just 1:10 into the second frame on a two- yard pass from Micheli to Anthony Antonucci. Micheli put the Raiders ahead 14-3 just under seven minutes later with a darting 12-yard scamper in which he broke several Warhawk arm tackles.
“I was known as a runner and the defense is going to adjust to someone that runs more and I think that opened up the passing game today,” explained MUC‟s Micheli.
Just as the game seemed to be getting out of hand, Jordan Wells sparked the Warhawk offense with an 81-yard return on the ensuing kickoff. Two plays later, quarterback Justin Jacobs leaned into the end zone on a one-yard push with 5:46 on the clock.
UW-Whitewater pulled to within one with 33 seconds to play when Schebler booted his second field goal of the game, this one from 24 yards out.
The third quarter proved the Warhawks‟ undoing for the second straight season as Mount Union added two more touchdowns to the scoreboard. Micheli hooked up with receiver Pierre Garcon on 46-yard catch-and-run for the first tally with 5:30 to play in the quarter.
Matt Kostelnik and Matt Rees made amends for Mount Union‟s earlier special teams with 2:44 on the clock. Kostelnik busted through the middle of UW-Whitewater‟s line to block a punt and Rees returned it 34 yards for a 28-13 lead going into the final stanza.
Schebler set a new Stagg Bowl record with his third field goal of the game (36 yards) to cut the Mount Union lead to 28-16, but Garcon and Micheli connected on a second scoring pass just four minutes later, this one of 10 yards to complete the game‟s scoring.
Running back Nate Kmic led the Purple Raiders‟ running attack with 111 yards on the ground on the way to setting a new NCAA team playoff record with 1,478 yards (1,411 by Mary Hardin-Baylor in 2004). Garcon finished with eight catches for 116 yards while Justin Wray added five receptions for 43 yards. Defensive end Sam Vucelich led the Raider defense with seven total tackles.
UW-Whitewater‟s Jacobs finished 12-of-27 for 148 yards. Running back Justin Beaver ran for 87 yards on 23 carries, while receiver Derek Stanley hauled in six passes for 82 yards. Linebacker A.J. Raebel led the Warhawks with 13 total tackles. Ben Farley picked off on pass, his eighth of the season.
The game marked the final contest for UW-Whitewater head coach Bob Berezowitz, who announced his retirement at the beginning of the year. In his 22 seasons, Berezowitz compiled a 158-73-4 record (.681 winning percentage), including eight Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference titles, five NCAA Division III playoff appearances and two trips to the national championship game. His 158 victories rank third on the league‟s all-time list.
