Coming off its best season ever, the gymnastic team looks to finally capture a national championship.
The Warhawks won the WIAC conference title last season and took second at nationals for the second year in a row behind UW-La Crosse.
Both the men’s and women’s soccer teams captured WIAC titles over the weekend. For the men, it’s their third consecutive title while the women have captured their second straight.
Heading into the last week of conference play, Head Coach Greg Henschel said the Warhawks have placed themselves in the perfect position going into the WIAC Tournament.
Up to this season, the UW-Whitewater women’s soccer team has won only one game against UW-Stevens Point, going all the way back to when the series first began in 1992.
The UW-Whitewater women’s soccer team looks forward to playing UW-Stevens Point on Saturday and Head Coach Greg Henschel said the team is feeling confident.
After starting the season 0-4, the Warhawks’ two seniors, midfielder Ryan Boyd and forward Kevin Kron, stepped up to lead the team to six consecutive wins. The men will look to make it seven straight tonight at 7 p.m. against North Park University on the Vikings’ field.
The Warhawks (4-4-1, 1-1-1) earned their first WIAC win over UW-Platteville (4-4-0, 0-1-0), 2-0, on Sept. 21, and took a loss against UW-Stout (5-1-0, 2-1-0), 2-1, on Sept. 24. In the game against Platteville, the `Hawk’s offense had a great game moving past the Pioneers’ defense.
The Warhawks are off to a strong start to the season with a record of (3-3-1). This past weekend the women tied UW-Lacrosse 0-0 and defeated Ripon College 10-1.
Coming out of a tough 12 days, the women were determined to win.
