Blugold football runs into tough foe in No. 2 Whitewater

The UW-Whitewater football team is ranked second in the nation. And it was easy to see why Saturday at Carson Park. The tradition rich Warhawks turned in an impressive performance, downing UW-Eau Claire 42-7 before 5,794 fans on a crisp and sun splashed Saturday afternoon. Whitewater led 21-7 at the half and quickly extended its lead to three scores after turning an interception into a quick touchdown to start the third quarter. The Blugolds finished one of their best seasons in recent years with a 6-4 overall mark. "Our kids came out and fought," UWEC coach Rob Erickson said. "We came out and wanted to go 6-0 at home for our seniors. There was a lot to fight for, but Whitewater is a good team. They didn't make any mistakes. They kept the pressure on us. "We had two turnovers right away in the second half and it was tough to come back from that." Whitewater captured the WIAC title while outgaining UW-Eau Claire 435-209. The Warhawks are 10-0 overall and finished 7-0 in league play. UWEC won three conference games after going winless in the WIAC last year. The Blugolds were 5-1 at home this year. "I'm really proud

College football: No. 2 UW-Whitewater hopes to stick the landing on undefeated regular season this weekend at UW-Eau Claire

EAU CLAIRE — The UW-Whitewater football team has already put together a season to remember in 2026. The Warhawks (9-0, 6-0 WIAC) took down UW- Platteville last weekend on the road, leapfrogging the Pioneers in the rankings to be No. 2 in all of Division 3 football while also clinching a share of the 2026 WIAC regular season championship. This Saturday marks the final game of the 2026 regular season for UWW, and the Warhawks could check the box on numerous other accomplishments with a victory on the road at UW-Eau Claire (6-3, 3-3 WIAC). First and most notably, the Warhawks, with a win or a Platteville loss to UW-La Crosse, would capture the outright WIAC title. Additionally, UW-Whitewater would finish the regular season with an undefeated record with a win over the Blugolds. The last time either of those things happened for the Warhawks was in 2021. The Warhawks are also gunning for a top seed for the NCAA Division 3 playoffs, something that could help ensure home field advantage for UW-Whitewater up until the Stagg Bowl. While it’s easy to get wrapped up in the superlatives of a potential Warhawk victory on Saturday, UWW will still have to
