WARHAWK
FOOTBALL
INFORMATION
SEASON RECAP
If 2007 was a magical year then 2008 has been unbelievable.
Who could believe that UW-W would lose twenty-three seniors, return two starters on offense
and three defensive, and still be heading to Salem? It certainly tested the Warhawk faithful to
think that the Gagliardi Trophy winner, the Division III Rimington Award winner, four offensive
linemen and three defensive backs who had started three years, could be replaced so quickly.
But you have to believe now. UW-W extended its Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
record-tying win streak to twenty-five games, and broke the school record with twenty-seven
straight wins at home. Along the way the Warhawks tied for the WIAC title and earned their
fourth consecutive berth in the NCAA III playoffs.
On offense, senior Mike Sherman anchored the rebuilding of the offensive line. The line led the
way for the first pair of 1,000 yard rushers in school history. Freshman Levell Coppage rushed
for just over 1,400 yards, and when he went out sophomore Antwan Anderson went over the
1,000 mark. Who would believe that a rebuilt offensive line, blocking for two backs without a
collegiate start between them, would accomplish a first.
Quarterback Jeff Donovan, an all-conference first baseman on the Warhawk baseball team that
finished third in the Division III World Series, sat behind Justin Jacobs and Danny Jones for two
years. After throwing a total of fourteen passes in two years, Donovan has completed 62% of
his passes.
It would be hard to believe watching Derek Stanley and then Neil Mrkvicka break records the
last two years that those shoes could be filled, but five receivers have double figures in
receptions, and Aaron Rusch moved in to second place in the season record book with 77
catches.
Anthony White was the lone returnee in the defensive line, but he led his unit to the most sacks
in the WIAC. Linebacker Jace Rindahl played came in to his own with the 2007 Stagg Bowl
Defensive Player of the Game honor and his play has only improved. Troney Shumpert and
Jeremy Diebert saw action in nickel packages and in the two-deep, but who knew if the unit
could make the big plays in the big games?
Okay, you had to believe in Jeff Schebler, a two-time All-American placekicker who owns the
Division III single season and career record for field goals, was a given – but how busy would he
be?
As the saying in sports, and in life, goes; “If you don’t believe in yourself no one else will.” The
expectations continue to build and no one backed down from the challenge. Players believed it
was their turn, and they believed that the coaching staff would provide them with the right
mixture of talent, chemistry and motivation to make their mark on the growing UW-Whitewater
football tradition.
And maybe that’s why 2008 shouldn’t have been so unbelievable.

Warhawks Win Close Conference Opener, Up WIAC Win Streak to 22
September 13, 2008
It was a close game throughout but the Warhawks prevailed in their Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference opener with a 16-14 win over UW-Eau Claire at Carson Park Saturday, upping UW-W's
conference win streak to twenty-two games, dating back to the final game of the 2004 season. Both
teams were ranked going into this weekend’s game, the Warhawks were number two in the country and
the Blugolds were number twelve. Both of Whitewater's wins this season have come against ranked
teams, having opened the season with a 24-9 win over Saint Xavier College (IL), ranked ninth in the
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, last week at Perkins Stadium.
The Warhawks (2-0) and the Blugolds (1-1) will play again this season on November 1. The second
meeting between the two teams will not count toward the WIAC standings.
The Warhawks got on the board first with a thirty-five yard field goal by Jeff Schebler. Jeff Donovan
went 5 for 7 on the fifty-nine yard drive while Levell Coppage rushed for thirty yards on five carries.
Another field goal by Schebler in the second quarter, this one of thirty yards, gave the ‘Hawks a 6-0
lead. The two field goals by Schebler was the only scoring for either team in the first half.
The Warhawks started the second half with the ball but an interception gave the Blugolds the ball on the
Warhawk five-yard line. A one yard touchdown run by Cory Sartorelli on the third play of the drive,
followed by a successful extra point, gave UW-Eau Claire their first lead of the game, 7-6.
Two possessions later the Warhawks answered with their first touchdown of the game on a two-yard rush
by Coppage, his first career rushing touchdown. A Schebler extra point gave the Warhawks the 13-7 lead
at the end of the third quarter.
Yet another Schebler field goal, this one of forty-seven yards, with 7:16 remaining in the fourth quarter,
gave the Warhawks a narrow 16-7 lead.
The Blugolds answered with a twelve play, 74 yard drive to score on a Kyle Paulson twelve yard pass to
Spencer Kehoe. The ensuing extra point was good to tighten the game to 16-14.
The following Warhawk drive was stifled as the ‘Hawks went three and out and had to punt the ball back
to UW-EC with 3:29 remaining in the game.
The Blugolds faced a third and seventeen on what would have been a game winning drive when Paulson
was picked off by Matt McCulloch. The Warhawks successfully ran out the clock to preserve the victory.
Donovan was 17-for-28 for 134 yards. Aaron Rusch was on the receiving end of eight of those tosses by
Donovan and recorded 53 yards. Coppage carried the ball 42 times for 220 yards.
The Warhawks recorded 26 first downs to Eau Claire’s 15. UW-W also controlled time of possession,
holding on to the ball for just over twelve more minutes than the Blugolds.
The Warhawks have an open date next Saturday, September 20, and return to action when they travel to
Tacoma, Washington to face the University of Puget Sound on September 27. UW-W’s next home game
is on October 4 against UW-La Crosse at 1:00 at Perkins Stadium. The game is also Family Day for the
Warhawks.
#2 Warhawks Give Loggers First Loss, 60-7
September 27, 2008
UW-Whitewater, ranked second in the polls of National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III teams,
rolled over previously unbeaten University of Puget Sound 60-7 at Peyton Field in Tacoma, Washington,
Saturday afternoon.
Whitewater led 12-0 after one quarter, 26-0 at halftime, and 47-0 after the third period. The Warhawks
scored on four of their five possessions in the first half and five of seven in the second half. Technically,
for the Warhawk offense it was four of six in the second half because linebacker Jay Hancock returned
an interception 38 yards for Whitewater's final points.
The efficiency of Whitewater's offense was evident in quarterback Jeff Donovan's stats, 14-20 for 212
yards with one interception. Donovan also added a 12-yard touchdown run. UW-W had three players
rush for more than 50 yards, one of them backup QB Bruce Langer, led by 95 from freshman tailback
Levell Coppage on 16 carries. Whitewater split its yardage almost equally, rushing for 278 and passing
for 251. Aaron Rusch caught 7 passes for 88 yards, all in the first half.
Coppage found the end zone four times, all on the ground, tying the UW-Whitewater record held by seven
other players. The most recent player to accomplish the feat was wide receiver Derek Stanley against
Lakeland College in 2006. The last running back to score four TD's was Chad Wurth, when he did so
against UW-Oshkosh in 2003.
The Warhawk defense was as stingy as the offense was productive. UW-W allowed 162 yards, including
just 16 yards rushing. The Loggers managed just four first downs in the first two periods and nine for the
game. Junior linebacker Kyle Supianoski topped the Warhawks with eight tackles, including two for a
loss. Freshman defensive end Sam Markham contributed two sacks and three tackles behind the line of
scrimmage.
The 162 yards gained by Puget Sound is the fewest by a Warhawk opponent since UW-W limited
Lakeland College to 110 in the 2007 season opener.
Whitewater's point total is the most they've scored on the road since September 17, 2005, in a 73-12 win
at Lakeland College, a string of 46 games. It is also the most points UW-W has scored anywhere since a
75-14 win 33 games ago, September 2, 2006, also against Lakeland.
UW-W, 3-0 overall and 1-0 in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, will return to conference
play next week, hosting UW-La Crosse October 4 at 1:00 in Perkins Stadium. UW-W will be looking to
extend two winning streaks. Whitewater has won 22 consecutive WIAC games, dating back to a loss to
UW-La Crosse in the 2004 season finale. The Warhawks are also unbeaten in their last 26 games in
Perkins Stadium.
Puget Sound is 2-1 this season.
Tickets for UW-W home games are available in the University Center ticket office on the main campus
mall Monday-Friday during normal business hours, and are sold at the gate on game day. Call 262-4722222 for ticket information.
Warhawks Blank Eagles Before Record Crowd
October 4, 2008
UW-Whitewater, ranked second in the NCAA Division III polls, defeated UW-La Crosse 31-0 Saturday
afternoon before a UW-W, and Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, record crowd of
11,028. Whitewater's upped its win streak in WIAC play to twenty-three consecutive games, ironically
with the last loss coming at the hands of UW-La Crosse in the final game of 2004. The Warhawks have
also won twenty-seven straight at Perkins Stadium.
The scoring began on the first possession of the game when Jeff Schebler hit a 45-yard field goal to put
the Warhawks up 3-0 with 9:54 left in the first quarter. The second quarter started with a four yard
touchdown run by Levell Coppage four seconds into the quarter. Five minutes later Whitewater scored
again when Lane Olson blocked the Eagles' punt which Antwon Anderson returned 40 yards for a
Whitewater touchdown. With 7:45 left in the first half the Warhawks continued the scoring when Coppage
found the endzone again on a one yard run after a six play, 67-yard drive. There was only one score in
the second half and that came in the third quarter at 4:56 when Whitewater scored after a 12 play, 73yard drive that ended with a three yard rush by Coppage. Coppage rushed for 8 of the 12 plays in that
drive that put Whitewater up 31-0.
Whitewater's success came on the ground and by turnovers. The Warhawks had 259 yards rushing
and no turnovers, and the Eagles rushes were limited to 83 and had two turnovers. Whitewater
also converted 9 of 13 third down attempts compared to only 2 of 11 for La Crosse. Coppage led both
teams with 176 rushing on 27 attempts with three touchdowns. Coppage has rushed for 566 yards
(141.5/game) and 5.1 per attempts. He has scored eight touchdowns in those four games. Wide receiver
Aaron Rusch had six catches for 65 yards. Rusch caught six of Whitewater's ten completions, with QB
Jeff Donovan going 10-13 for 94 yards.
La Crosse's Alex Seguin passed for 113 passing yards, going 10-26.
On defense Whitewater had the only two sacks of the game as Max Ford contributed one, and Mike
Dufrane and Casey Casper teamed up for one as well. Whitewater's defense held the Eagles to 202
yards of offense.
Whitewater has outscored opponents 131-23 this season.
UW-Whitewater will play on the road next week. The Warhawks will travel to Ramer Field at UW-River
Falls for a 12:00 kickoff. The next home game for UW-W will be October 25 versus UW-Stevens Point at
1:00 in the annual Homecoming game.
Warhawks Pluck Falcons
October 11, 2008
In a match-up of two conference unbeatens, it was UW-Whitewater prevailing over UW-River Falls on
Saturday in River Falls at Ramer Field by a score of 52-24. The Warhawks improve their record to 5-0
overall and 3-0 in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, while the Falcons drop to 2-3 overall
and 1-1 in the WIAC. The win also extended the Warhawks conference winning streak to twenty-four
consecutive games.
The Falcons took the lead to start the game on a thirty-seven yard touchdown pass from Storm Harmon
to Ryan Hansen but that was the only time the Falcons had the lead. The Warhawks answered with three
straight touchdowns. The first two on five and eight yard runs by Levell Coppage. The third was on an
eleven yard pass from Jeff Donovan to Nick Slupski.
River Falls answered with another touchdown toss from Storm Harmon, this time to Michael Woodward,
to tighten the score to 21-14. Each team took turns booting a field goal through the uprights to increase
the score to 24-17.
Two more consecutive Coppage rushing touchdowns, six and one yard respectively, gave the Warhawks
a 38-17 advantage.
Whitewater native, Michael Zweifel, caught Harmon’s third touchdown pass of the game to bring the
Falcons within two scores.
However, the Warhawks responded with two more rushing touchdowns to give the game a final score of
52-24. The first of the last two touchdowns was recorded after a twenty-five yard run by Antwan
Anderson and the second was a fifty yard run by Jake Andersen.
The Warhawks, who are ranked first in the WIAC in scoring offense, racked up 592 yards of total offense
while the Falcons mustered 370. Coppage, the WIAC’s leading rusher, accounted for 181 of UW-W’s
yards and totaled four touchdowns, all rushing. Coppage has accumulated twelve touchdowns this
season which ties him for ninth in the Warhawk record book for touchdowns in a season. He has also
improved his average yards per game to 149.4.
Jeff Schebler was perfect on the day connecting on all seven extra points and one field goal of eighteen
yards. Schebler is a perfect 6-6 for field goals this season.
Coming in to the game the Falcons boasted the number one receiver in the WIAC in Zweifel and he
proved it against the Warhawks hauling in twelve catches for 152 yards and one touchdown. Harmon was
also the WIAC leader in passing yards per game and total yards of offense. Harmon went 23-39 with
three touchdowns.
The Warhawk defense gave up more points in this game than they have all year, but they were able to
get to quarterback Harmon four times for sacks. They also caused and recovered one fumble.
Next week UW-W will travel to UW-Oshkosh on October 18 for a game against the Titans beginning at
1:30 pm. Since 1990 the Titans have only defeated the Warhawks one time and it was back on November
16, 2002 when UW-O topped UW-W by a score of 21-20. The Titans scored two touchdowns in the final
quarter to overcome the Warhawks.
The Warhawks return home on October 25 for a 1:00 pm kick-off against WIAC foe UW-Stevens
Point. The game also marks Homecoming and the Hall of Fame day for UW-Whitewater. For tickets

Warhawks Win Streak Ends with Loss to Pointers
October 25, 2008
UW-Stevens Point knocked UW--Whitewater from the ranks of the unbeaten, defeating the second
ranked Warhawks 17-16 on a two-point conversion with fifteen seconds left. The Pointers' win also
ended Whitewater's Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference record-tying win streak at twenty-five
games, and UW-W's WIAC record home field win streak at twenty-seven games.
The game started as many others had over the last several years, with the Warhawks scoring on the
second play of the game. Jeff Donovan hit Aaron Rusch with a 33-yard TD strike, but UW-W did not
convert the kick, which may have been an omen.
The Pointers cut the margin in half, using nine plays to set up a 20-yard Ryan Graboski at 9:56 in the first
quarter.
Whitewater dodged a bullet on its next possession, coughing up a fumble on the ensuing kickoff which
UW-SP recovered at Whitewater's 31. Point marched to the two yard line, had first and goal, but the
Warhawk defense stopped four running plays to keep the score 6-3.
The Pointer defense, with the help of two Whitewater penalties, held UW-W deep in its own zone, forcing
a punt that ended up with UW-SP at Whitewater's 26. After three incompletions Ryan Graboski tied the
game with a 43-yard field goal with 4:02 left in the first quarter.
In the second quarter Warhawk defensive back Paul Wick picked off a Jared Beckwith pass and returned
it to the SP 49. Three plays later freshman running back Levell Coppage went 35 yards, the longest play
from scrimmage by either team in the game, and Jeff Schebler added the PAT to give the 13-6 lead with
7:10 left in the half. That would be the last scoring until the fourth quarter.
In the fourth quarter Point again capitalized on Whitewater penalties, with two Warhawk miscues
contributing to a five-play 38-yard drive that ended with Graboski's third field goal of the day, this time
from 22 yards, making it 13-9 Whitewater.
Whitewater answered with a 79-yard drive of its own, with Schebler connecting from 19 yards to put the
Warhawks up 16-9 with 4:49 left in the game.
The Pointers started their next possession on their own 23, advanced to the 45, but Wick's second pick of
the day, with 3:16 left in the game, seemed to seal the UW-SP's fate.
UW-SP got another shot however, after Whitewater went three and out, and Point returned a punt to its
own 16 with 1:33 on the clock. Jared Beckwith completed five passes, all to Jared Jenkins, to put the
Pointers in the end zone with just 15 seconds left. Three time outs later (two by UW-W), the Pointers
lineup for a two-point conversion, and Beckwith connected with Jenkins again on a diving catch in the
right corner of the end zone for the 17-16 lead, and the win.
UW-Whitewater may look closely at the schedule next year, since its last two Homecoming losses have
come to UW-Stevens Point. The last time Whitewater lost to UW-SP was 2004, by a 15-12 score, in
Whitewater's Homecoming game. Whitewater is 7-7 all-time in Homecoming games against the Pointers.
The loss is Whitewater's first in WIAC play since the last game in the 2004 season, 35-10 to UW-La
Crosse, and the first at Perkins Stadium since that same game. Whitewater ties UW-La Crosse for the
longest winning streak in conference history with twenty-five consecutive conference wins. UW-L actually
won twenty-five straight conference games from 1949-1954, then tied a game, and won three more to cap
an unbeaten streak at twenty-nine games.
Whitewater, 6-1 overall and 4-1 in the WIAC, will host UW-Eau Claire Saturday, November 1 at 12:00 in
Perkins Stadium. That contest is not a WIAC game, because the two teams met earlier this season in
Eau Claire, with Whitewater winning 16-14. The second game became a scheduling necessity when
neither team could fill its ten game schedule. UW-Stevens Point is 6-1 overall and 3-1 in the WIAC.
After Eau Claire, Whitewater will close the home schedule against UW-Stout November 8 and then end
the regular season November 15 at UW-Platteville.
Whitewater defeats Eau Claire in Non-Conference Game
November 1, 2008
UW-Whitewater defeated UW-Eau Claire 40-10 Saturday afternoon in Perkins Stadium in Whitewater,
Wisconsin and stays tied with UW-Stevens Point, who defeated UW-Oshkosh. The Warhawks are
ranked sixth in the D3football.com poll and tenth in the American Football Coaches Association Division
III poll. UW-EC is ranked nineteenth by D3 and 23rd by the AFCA.
Although Whitewater and Eau Claire are both members of the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference, this was a non-conference game. Whitewater defeated UW-EC 16-14 in Eau Claire
September 13 for the first meeting this year. Not being able to find opponents to round out a ten-game
schedule, the schools agreed to meet twice this season.
Whitewater led 7-3 after one quarter, with Levell Coppage running the ball in from one yard out for the
Warhawks, and Craig Kolb booting a 40-yard field goal for EC. Whitewater added ten points in the
second, with another one yard run by Coppage and a 42-yard field goal from Jeff Schebler.
Eau Claire cut the margin to 17-10 with the aid of an unusual play. Whitewater punter Kris Rosholt went
to his knee to field a low snap and the Blugolds set up their offense on UW-W's two yard line. On their
first play the Warhawk defense tackled the runner for a ten yard loss, but EC came back with a 12-yard
scoring pass from Kyle Paulson to Spencer Kehoe at 11:04.
Whitewater outscored the Blugolds 23-0 the rest of the way. Jeff Donovan connected with Aaron Rusch
with an 18-yard score at 8:31 in the third. Jeff Schebler booted a 24-yard field goal with 1:59 left in the
third. In the fourth quarter Coppage scored his third TD of the day, this time running in from 17 yards out
with 10:39 left. And the scoring closed with Zach Christopherson returning an interception 73 yards for
a TD.
UW-W totaled 427 yards of offense to 216 for the Blugolds, with EC gaining just 96 yards on the
ground. Coppage rushed for 173 yards on 27 carries for the Warhawks. Aaron Rusch was the leading
receiver in the game with 7 catches for 73 yards. UW-W scored all five times it was in the red zone in the
game (three runs, a pass, and a field goal).
UW-W linebacker Jace Rindahl led both teams with 12 tackles (6 solo) and one interception.
UW-Whitewater is 7-1 overall, 4-1 in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. UW-EC is 5-3
and 3-2.
Schebler Ties D3 Record as Warhawks Remain in First
November 8, 2008
UW-Whitewater, ranked fifth and eighth in the two national Division III polls, remained atop the Wisconsin
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference standings with a 17-10 win over UW-Stout at Perkins Stadium in
Whitewater, Wisconsin Saturday afternoon.
A Bruce Langer eight yard scramble on the opening drive of the game capped a five play, seventy yard
mark as UW-W took a 7-0 lead at 12:37, and that proved to be the only scoring of the quarter.
In the second quarter field position played a key role in the second score, as UW-W took possession after
a punt at the Stout 44 yard line. Levell Coppage ran for five yards, and Langer connected with Aaron
Rusch for the remaining thirty-nine yards to make it 14-0 after Jeff Schebler's second PAT at 8:55.
Field position, again, figured in Whitewater's third score. Taking over at their own 49, UW-W moved the
ball to the Stout 29 in five plays. Schebler came on to boot the 46 yard field goal, making it 17-0 at 10:51
in the third. Schebler's field goal was his fifty-second of his career, tying the National Collegiate Athletic
Association Division III career record, also held by Ken Edelman of Mount Union College (1987-90).
A big return by Kendall Wade on the ensuing kickoff gave Stout the ball at their own 46. Eleven plays
later Kyle Martin put the Blue Devils on the board with a 26 yard field goal at 6:03.
A surprise punt from an offensive formation by Stout quarterback Kyle Provos, with UW-S facing fourth
and thirteen on the Whitewater thirty-four, pinned the Warhawks back to the three yard line.
After Stout's defense held the Blue Devils regained the ball at Whitewater's 36. Provos passed to Nate
Schoenecker for a two-yard TD to close the margin to 17-10.
UW-Stout had one more shot, taking over at their own 31 with 2:38 left. Twelve plays later they had
advanced to the Whitewater 19 with :06 left, but a final pass fell incomplete.
The teams combined for 26 penalties for 265 yards. Stout totaled 315 yards of offense, just 88 in the first
half. Whitewater totaled 236 yards. Whitewater's defense stymied the Blue Devils on third down, making
Stout 0-12 in third down situations.
Linebackers Jace Rindahl and Lane Olson led UW-W with eleven tackles apiece. Rindahl added a
quarterback sack, and DB Zach Christopherson picked off a pass for the second week in a row. Rusch
caught five passes for 105 yards and the TD for UW-W. Provos completed 16-39 for 170 yards, one
touchdown and one interception for UW-S. Three Blue Devils had totaled six tackles.
UW-Whitewater is 8-1 overall and 5-1 in the WIAC. UW-Stout is 5-4 and 3-3. Whitewater will wrap up the
regular season at UW-Platteville Saturday, November 15 at 1:00.
Warhawks Upend Pioneers, Clinch 4th Consecutive WIAC Crown
November 15, 2008
The UW-Whitewater football team became the third team in the history of the Wisconsin Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference to win four consecutive conference titles with their 52-13 defeat of UW-Platteville on
Saturday in Platteville. UW-River Falls won four consecutive titles from 1984-1987 and La Crosse did it
twice, winning four in a row from 1939-1942 and six in a row from 1949-1954. The title is the 29th in
Warhawk football history. UW-W finishes the regular season 9-1 overall and 6-1 in the WIAC. UW-P
finishes at 4-6 and 2-5.
It didn’t take UW-W long to get going as they scored on their first possession of the game. The nine play,
sixty-six yard drive was capped with a one-yard Levell Coppage touchdown run at the 9:26 mark of the
first quarter. Jeff Schebler added the extra point to give the ‘Hawks a 7-0 lead.
Just over two minutes later the Pioneers went four and out and had to punt the ball away to the
Warhawks. UW-W proceeded to drive sixty-nine yards in eight plays to score another touchdown. This
drive, like the previous, ended on a Coppage rush of two yards for the score. Schebler tacked on the
extra point to give the Warhawks a 14-0 lead.
Jace Rindahl recovered a Pioneer fumble on the ensuing possession to get the ball back for UW-W. A
drive that lasted twelve plays and went seventy-four yards concluded with a six-yard rushing touchdown
by Antwan Anderson to give the ‘Hawks a three touchdown lead.
Another UW-P turnover, this time an interception by Jared Keisow, resulted in yet another Warhawk
touchdown. Jeff Donovan connected with Aaron Rusch on a 45-yard pass to score and extend the lead
for UW-W.
The Pioneers finally got on the board with 1:48 remaining in the first half as Jake Wiederholt completed a
three-yard touchdown pass to John Akim.
Schebler took over as the all-time leader in National Collegiate Athletic Association’s Division III record
book as he knocked his fifty-third career field goal through the uprights to begin scoring for the Warhawks
in the second half. The 3-point score gave the Warhawks a 31-7 lead.
An interception by Max Ford on Platteville’s next possession resulted in an eight play drive by UW-W
ending in a Donovan 45-yard pass to Cory Robinson for yet another Warhawk touchdown.
Platteville turned the ball over on downs on their following possession and UW-W took over at their own
37-yard line. The following nine-play drive by the Warhawks ended in another Anderson rushing
touchdown, his second of the game. A sixth successful extra point by Schebler gave the Warhawks a 457 lead.
Keisow intercepted another Pioneer pass in the fourth quarter and ran it all the way to Platteville’s 12-yard
line to regain possession for UW-W. The Warhawks were unable to convert as they went for it on fourth
and one. Prior to this drive the Warhawks had scored touchdowns on all four of UW-P’s previous
turnovers.
A Jake Andersen rushing touchdown of eight yards late in the fourth gave the Warhawks a 52-7 lead and
ended the scoring for the ‘Hawks. UW-Platteville got into the end zone with 16 seconds remaining in the
game to pull to 52-13, but an unsuccessful extra point attempt ended the possession.
UW-Whitewater tallied 536 yards of total offense while giving up only 305. Coppage eclipsed the 100-yard
total for the seventh time this season. Rusch covered 135 yards in the air to go along with one
touchdown. Overall the Warhawks scored seven touchdowns; five rushing and two receiving.
The Warhawks share the conference title with UW-Stevens Point who defeated UW-La Crosse on
Saturday. The Pointers defeated UW-W on October 25th to give them the tie-breaker and the automatic
qualifying bid into the NCAA Division III football tournament. UW-W will have to await the announcement
of an at-large bid which is expected to be announced around 2:00 central on Sunday.

November 22, 2008
The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater defeated Saint John's University 37-7 in a National Collegiate
Athletic Association Division III first round playoff game Saturday in Perkins Stadium in Whitewater,
Wisconsin.
Saint John's scored on their first possession, driving 76 yards in 12 plays. The drive ended with an 11yard TD pass from Joe Boyle to Jakob Reding at 7:02.
Whitewater's ensuing drive ended with pass that was intercepted by Ethan Eid at the Whitewater
43. Saint John's was stopped, and on their punt attempt the snap sailed over Russell Gliadon's head and
the Warhawks recovered at the SJU 21.
Five plays later, with UW-W at the Johnnie's six, Nick Kotsmith forced a fumble and SJU recovered at the
2. The Warhawk defense held, and the quarter ended 7-0 Saint John's. SJU's punt from deep in their
zone gave UW-W the ball at the Saint John's 36, and after eight plays Jeff Schebler got UW-W on the
board with a 19 yard field goal with 10:12 left in the half, 7-3 SJU.
The same formula worked on the next series, with the Warhawk defense forcing a three and out, and
UW-W taking over the ball at the SJU 45. Schebler also ended that drive with a field goal, this time from
32 yards at 5:16 to narrow the margin to 7-6.
The Warhawk defense played a key role again in Whitewater's third score, with Anthony White forcing a
fumble out of bounds at the four, and after the resulting SJU punt Whitewater took over at the
29. Schebler kicked his third field goal, this time from 41 yards, with 1:55 left to give UW-W its first lead,
9-7.
Saint John's defense rose to the occasion, stopping UW-W on a second and goal at the one as time ran
out in the first half.
When UW-W's Levell Coppage, twentieth in NCAA III rushing statistics with 128.6 yards per game, went
out early in the second half, and it looked like it might be a lot more of Schebler in the second half.
But sophomore Antwann Anderson scored on his first carry of the second half, going 43 yards to make it
16-7 Whitewater with 11:10 in the third.
Whitewater's defense ended the next SJU drive by recovering a fumble, and the offense took over and
went 71 yards in 12 plays for the 23-7 lead. Jeff Donovan ran the last four yards for the score, at 1:40.
Once again, Whitewater's defense aided the offense, forcing a punt that UW-W took over on their own
49. Anderson ended the drive with a four yard run, and also set that up with a 42 yard run on the
preceding play. Whitewater led 30-7 with 6:53 left in the game.
Whitewater backup QB Bruce Langer ended the scoring with a 21 yard run, his only run of the day, at
3:24.
Anderson had rushed twice for a total of one yard in the first half. He finished with a career high 158
yards on 20 carries. His previous high was 88 yards in a win over UW-River Falls last season.
Whitewater's defense recorded a season high six sacks on the day and forced three fumbles. SJU
managed just 29 yards rushing on 34 attempts. Whitewater rushed the ball 53 times for 321
yards. Whitewater also controlled the ball 35 minutes.
Linebacker Kyle Supianoski led UW-W with eight tackles, including one for a loss. Defensive end Jon
Baldwin had two sacks and two tackles for a loss. The Johnnie's Bobby Klint, a defensive back, led both
teams with 12 tackles. Linebacker Ethan Eid added 11 tackles and an interception for SJU.
Whitewater, 10-1, will advance to the second round of the NCAA III playoffs. The Warhawks, the
defending national champions, will play at the winner of Williamette College versus Occidental College.
Schebler's three field goals added to his NCAA III career record, totaling 56. The previous record, which
he broke last week in the win over UW-Platteville, been held by Ken Edelman of Mount Union (1987-90)
for the D3 record.
Win Over Willamette Puts UW-W in Quarterfinals
November 29, 2008
Offensive. That's the only way to describe the display put on by the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater
and Willamette University Saturday in Whitewater's 30-27 win over Willamette in a National Collegiate
Athletic Association Division III second round playoff game in Salem, Oregon. UW-W, 11-1, will host
Wartburg College, 10-2, Saturday, December 6 at noon in in a championship tournament quarterfinal
game at Perkins Stadium.
The total of 57 points doesn't begin to tell the story. Whitewater and Willamette combined for 1,011 yards
of offense, with the Bearcats with a slight 509-502 advantage. Whitewater's offense came on the backs
of the offensive line and the legs of sophomore running back Antwan Anderson, who rushed 34 times
for a career high 269 yards. Anderson moved in to the starting lineup when first team all-conference
freshman Levell Coppage suffered an injury in last week's win over Saint John's. Not only are his 269
yards a career high -- it is the fifth highest total in UW-W history. (Justin Beaver set the school record of
286 versus UW-La Crosse October 14, 2006).
After holding Willamette to three and out Whitewater scored on its first possesion of the game, taking over
at the Bearcat 42 and using six plays to put the first score on the board. Anderson scored from one yard
out and the PAT made it 7-0 just 2:27 into the game.
It was more of the same the second time around, three and out for WI and UW-W taking over near midfield, at their own 45. Warhawk QB Jeff Donovan hooked up with Aaron Rusch for 46 yards on the first
play, and two plays later Anderson had his second TD run of the game, this time from three yards out, to
put UW-W up 14-0.
Willamette replied to the score with a long drive, taking it at their own 13 and marching to the Whitewatere
26, but on fourth and three an incocmplete pass ended the drive. Whitewater took over and used six
plays, including a key 44 yard Donovan to Adam Brandes pass. Brandes also caught the scoring pass,
a three-yarder, to make it 21-0 with 12:28 in the second.
The Bearcasts again responded with a drive, going from their own 24 to the Whitewater 25 in nine plays,
but Warhawks safety Matt McCulloch picked off a Grant Leslie pass to end the threat.
Willamette was resilient though, picking off Donovan to set up their offense at their own 20. They went all
the way to the Whitewater nine yard line, facing a fourth and three, and Whitewater's defense forced an
incomplete pass to keep the margin 21-0 where the half ended.
The Bearcats' perservence was finally rewarded on their first drive in the second half, starting at their
eleven and using an 82-yard Leslie to Scott Schoettgen scoring pass to get on the board at 11:12.
Although offense was the order of the day, one of the most unusual of defensive plays occured in the
game. UW-W earned a safety in the third quarter, the first since December 10, 2005 in a NCAA III
semifinal win over Wesley College in Perkins Stadium. Whitewater set up to kick a field goal on the next
drive, facing fourth and eight form the 35. Warhawk placekicker Jeff Schebler punted instead, downing
the ball at the four. A sack by Anthony White pushed the ball back to the one, and Justin Ankley
tackled Deon Horne in the end zone to make it 23-7 Whitewater at 7:31 in the third. There was no more
scoring in the third.
WU moved the ball 75 yards in 12 plays, ending with a Leslie to Josh Lee 16 yard pass to make it 2313.at 14:55 A two point conversion, a pass, failed.
Whitewater took the ensuing kickoff and went 63 yards in six plays, all runs by Anderson, to put the
Warhawks up 30-13 at 11:40.
Again Willamette came back, responding with a ten play 76 yard drive, with Leslie hooking up with
Schoettgen again, this time for 27 yards, to make it 30-20 with 8:10 left.
After a stop by the Bearcat defense, the WU offense continued its momentum, covering 70 yards in just
four plays to narrow it to 30-27 with 3:37 left.
The Warhawks used seven plays, six Anderson rushes, and Donovan ended the game taking a knee at
the Willamette two yard line as the clock expired.
Although offense took center stage, UW-W linebacker Jace Rindahl led UW-W with 14 tackles and 1.5
tackles for a loss. Defensive back Troney Shumpert was also in double figures with ten tackles and a
pass broken up.
Leslie completed 16-24 passes for 285 yards, throwing three TD's and one interception. Schoettgen
caught seven balls for 169 yards and two scores. Horne rushed for 124 yards on 20 carries. Bearcat
linebacker Tommy Grove led both teams with 15 tackles, one of four Willamette players in double figures
for tackles.
The Whitewater-Wartburg winner will face the quarterfinal winner of Washington and Jefferson University
and Mary-Hardin Baylor in a semifinal game Saturday, December 13. Whitewater and Wartburg have
never met in football.
This is the fourth consecutive year that UW-W has advanced to at least the quarterfinals of the
championsip. The Warhawks made it to week five, the Stagg Bowl, in 2005, 2006 and 2007. Whitewater
finished second in 2005 and 2006, and won the national title in 2007.
Warhawks on to Semis with Win over Wartburg
December 6, 2008
UW-Whitewater advanced to the semifinals of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III
championship with a 34-17 win over Wartburg College in a quarterfinal game played at Perkins Stadium
in Whitewater, Wisconsin Saturday. UW-W, 12-1, will travel to Belton, Texas to face the University of
Mary Hardin-Baylor, 12-1, December 13 at noon.
With Whitewater leading 20-17 early in the fourth quarter, Wartbrug set up for the game-tying field goal,
from Whitewater's 15 yard line. Warhawk linebacker Kyle Supianoski blocked the attempt and Troney
Shumpert recovered the ball at the fifty yard line.
Whitewater added two TD's in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach.
Supianoski also figured in the first score of the game, forcing a fumble that he recovered at the Wartburg
35. After four plays Jeff Schebler, the all-time field goal leader in Division III, kicked a 36 yard field goal
to give UW-W a 3-0 lead at 11:49 in the first quarter.
Later in the first quarter Antwan Anderson rushed for a seven yard TD, culminating a seven play, fiftyeight yard drive to make it 10-0 at 4:15.
Early in the second quarter Wartburg took advantage of a fumbled punt, recovering the ball at
Whitewater's 39. Spencer Herzber booted a 37 yard field goal at 11:28 to put the Knights on the board,
10-3.
On Whitewater's next possession, the first of the second quarter, Jeff Donovan connected with Matt
Gifford for 58 yards to set up four yard TD pass to Jordan Wells. Whitewater led 17-3 with 8:54 left in
the half.
Wartburg threatened to get the points back right away, marching 65 yards to take the ball to the
Whitewater three yard line, but Justin Ankley recovered a fumble to thwart the drive.
Wartburg was not denied the next time around, returning a punt to the Whitewater eleven and then
scoring on a four yard run by Lamar Harvey to make it 17-10 Whitewater with 1:42 in the half.
Starting at their own 40 after the kickoff return, Whitewater managed the clock to squeeze in a 38 yard
field goal by Schebler with one second remaining in the half, 20-10.
Wartburg used just one play, a 57 yard Nick Yordi to Matt Gustafson pass, to close the margin to 20-17
with 7:19 in the third. This set the stage for Supianoski's big play.
The Warhawks gained a little breathing room with a Donovan to Wells 13 yard TD pass at 11:51 in the
game to make it 27-17, and linebacker Jace Rindahl returned an interception, his second of the day, 45
yards for the final score of the game at 3:49.
Whitewater took advantage of four Knight turnovers, while UW-W had one (as mentioned, led to a
Wartburg score).. The Warhawk defense limited Wartburg to 49 yards rushing, 1.5 per
attempt. Wartburg gained 205 yards passing, on 12-35 attempts, while Whitewater was 10-21 for 151 in
a cold, stiff wind.
UW-W's Anderson, making his second collegiate start, carried the ball 31 times for 151 yards. Wells led
Whitewater with five receptions for 56 yards. Defensive end Jon Baldwin and Supianoski led the
Warhawks with eight tackles apiece, with three of Baldwin's coming behind the line of scrimmage.
Safeties Jason Lansing and Kyle Goodchild were the leading tacklers in the game, totaling 13 and 11
respectively for the Knights. Ryan Hoerner and Gustafson both had three receptions for the Knights, with
Hoerner's totaling 75 yards and Gustafson's 62.
Mount Union, 13-0 will host Wheaton College, 11-2, in the other semifinal Saturday. Mount Union
defeated Cortland (NY) 41-14, and Wheaton topped Franklin College 45-28. The winners of the
December 13 games will advance to the Stagg Bowl, the Division III championship, Saturday, December
20 in Salem, Virginia.
Wartburg, champion of the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, ends the season 10-3. Saturday's
game was the first time Whitewater and Wartburg had met in the sport of football.
Warhawks Defeat UMH-B, On to Salem for National Championship
December 13, 2008
UW-Whitewater is going to the Stagg Bowl, the NCAA III championship game in Salem, Virginia Saturday,
December 20 at 10:00 (Central). The Warhawks, 13-1, earned a berth in the title game with a 39-13
semifinal win over the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor December 13 at Tiger Stadium in Belton,
Texas. UW-W will face Mount Union College, 14-0, for the fourth consecutive year in the Stagg
Bowl. Mount Union won national titles in 2005 and 2006; UW-W is the defending Division III champion.
Whitewater, or to be more accurate, Whitewater's defense, scored on the first play of the game. After the
Crusaders returned the opening kickoff to just their own two yard line, a fumble by UMHB's Bryson Tucker
was recovered in his end zone for a Warhawk safety.
That play also set up Whitewater's second score, because the ensuing free kick was returned to
Whitewater's 37. Jeff Donovan hit Aaron Rusch with a 25 yard pass on the first play of the drive, which
ended five plays later with a twenty-five yard field goal by Jeff Schebler to make the unusual score of 5-0
at 11:39.
Late in the first quarter the Crusaders began a drive at their own 29, used 11 plays to go 71 yards to
score on a Josh Saenz one yard run. The PAT made the score 7-5 with 12:17 left in the half.
Holding UW-W to a three and out, UMHB took possession at their own 44, and seven plays later Alan
Munoz booted a twenty-five yard field goal to up the Crusaders' margin to 10-5 with 4:11 left in the half.
Taking over at their own 20 after a touchback, UW-W went 80 yards in 11 plays, including a 23 yard pass
from Donovan to Jordan Wells that put the Warhawks at the four, and Donovan ended the drive with a
three yard TD toss to tight end Nick Slupski with just 0:26 left in the half and Whitewater back in the lead
12-10.
UMHB tried an onside kick on the first play of the second half, but it backfired with a penalty for illegal
kicking Whitewater started its first drive of the half on the UMHB 24. One play later, Danny Benson
scored his first collegiate touchdown on a pass from Donovan to up the margin to 18-10 with just seven
seconds gone in the third quarter.
After exchanging possesions, UW-W got back in the end zone late in the quarter. Donovan threw his
third TD pass of the afternoon, connecting with Slupski for the second time. This time it was for eight
yards, making the score 25-10 at 3:42.
Punting, a difficult task all afternoon because of a stiff wind, provided an opportunity after stopping the
Crusaders. UMHB's punt went just seven yards, giving the Warhawks the ball at Crusader 35. Seven
plays later, at 14:56 in the fourth, Levell Coppage dove over the pile to make it 32-10 Whitewater.
Mary Hardin-Baylor put what proved to be its final points on the board with 9:04 left in the game, on
another Munoz field goal, this one from 44 yards out to make it 32-13.
The defense set up another Whitewater score late in the fourth, stopping the Crusaders when Jon
Baldwin forced Seanz to fumble, and Wesley Hicks picked it up for UW-W at the UMHB 38. Antwan
Anderson took the first handoff from Donovan to the house with 4:00 left in the game, ending the scoring
the contest.
UMHB, which came in to the game averaging 272 yards per game rushing, was limited to 125, on 42
carries, by the Warhawk defense which was ranked fourteenth in yards allowed rushing in Division
III. The Crusaders totaled 236 yards on offense, compared to 395 for UW-W.
Anderson rushed 19 times for 106 yards, and Coppage added 45 in his first action in three weeks -giving UW-Whitewater two 1,000 yard rushers for the first time in school history. Coppage has
accumulated 1,420 yards and Anderson 1,092 this season. Donovan, battling the wind, went 16-25 for
220 yards and three touchdowns, with no interceptions. Sophomore linebacker Kyle Supianoski led the
Warhawk defense with 16 tackles, three solo, and one shared quarterback sack.
Matt Hurst rushed 20 times for 74 yards for UMHB, and Seanz passed for 67 yards and rushed for
46. Jeremy Salinas had 14 tackles, three solo, to top the Crusader defense.
Mount Union defeated Wheaton College (IL) 45-24 in the other semifinal to set up the, what is beginning
to seem "annual", title rematch in Salem.

Warhawks Prep for Season Opener against St. Xavier
September 2, 2008
For the first time in three years the UW-Whitewater football team gets to open their season after capturing
the title at the Stagg Bowl, the Division III championship game. For two years UW-W had to begin their
season after an upsetting loss to Mount Union in the title game, but in 2007 it was a different story. The
Warhawks defeated Mount Union in an epic battle in Salem, Virginia by a final score of 31-21.
However, that was then and this is now, and the UW-Whitewater football team, loaded with new faces at
many key positions, looks to take it one game at a time and that starts with today’s game against St.
Xavier University.
The Coaches: Lance Leipold, the 2007 coach of the year in Division III, begins his second season at the
helm for UW-Whitewater. Leipold finished the 2007 season with a 13-1 overall record, with their only loss
coming to Division II St. Cloud State in their second game of the season. Mike Femnis will lead the St.
Xavier Cougars onto the field for their first game of the season and his ninth with the team. Femnis took
the 2007 version of the Cougars to the NAIA quarterfinals and has amassed an overall record of 69-34
with the team.
Streaking: The Warhawks have run their home winning streak to twenty-five games dating all the way
back to a season-ending loss to UW-La Crosse on November 13, 2004. UW-W could increase that total
to thirty by the end of the regular season. During the streak the Warhawks have shutout their opponents
two times and have won by an average of nearly twenty-seven point per game.
Their Last Meeting: The Warhawks and Cougars last met back on September 10, 2005 in Whitewater.
UW-W prevailed over SXU by a final score of 34-20. Whitewater scored the first thirty-one points of the
game, all in the first half. Justin Beaver had twelve of the thirty-one points on rushing touchdowns of
twenty-one and thirty-two yards. Quarterback Justin Jacobs hooked up with Derek Stanley for a sixty-four
yard score and with Neil Mrkvicka for a thirty-nine yard touchdown. Four successful extra points and a
field goal by Mike Chaulk rounded out the first half scoring. The Cougars scored twenty unanswered
points in the second half before Chaulk notched another field goal. An eighty-six yard strike from John
Perryman to Jarrod Nowman five minutes into the second half got SXU on the board. Two more
touchdowns from Perryman to Andy Ricca and Jim Doherty finished the scoring for the Cougars.
In the WIAC Stats: Jeff Schebler is ninth in career scoring in the WIAC with 221 points. Schebler, a
two-time all-WIAC first team offense selection, made 21-27 field goals last season. Schebler is also
second in career scoring for kickers only, thirty points behind Lucas Raschke of UW-Oshkosh. The
Warhawks finished the 2007 campaign setting new WIAC records in rushing attempts, field goals made,
field goals attempted, and interceptions.
In the NCAA III Stats: Jeff Schebler finished the 2007 season in first place for field goals per game (1.8).
The Warhawks graduated the 2007 leader in rushing yards, Justin Beaver, who was also third in rushing
yards per game.
In the Polls: UW-Whitewater starts the season ranked second in the d3football.com top 25 poll. They
are also ranked second in Lindy’s Division III preseason top 25 and third in UWA Today Sports Weekly
Preseason Rankings. St. Xavier, an affiliate of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA),
received an eighth place ranking in the 2008 NAIA Coaches’ Preseason Top 25 Poll. The Cougars are
also ranked seventh in the 2008 Victory Sports Network Preseason NAIA Football Top 25 Poll.
Something New: UW-W has installed new FieldTurf this season. The state-of-the-art turf began
installation on August 6, 2008. The installation of the FieldTurf as well as the new landscaping, brick
grand entry, and fencing around the stadium were all a part of the renovations to the outdoor facilities at
UW-Whitewater. The facilities have been newly renamed the Kachel Family Sports Complex and
includes Perkins Stadium, Prucha Field, Fiskum Field, Foster Track and Field, Van Steenderen Softball
Complex, the Williams Center and the Kachel Fieldhouse.
The Schedule/Tickets: UW-W will travel to UW- Eau Claire for their conference opener on Saturday,
September 13 for a 12:00 kickoff. The Warhawks’ next home game is Saturday, October 4 against UWLa Crosse. The home game against the Eagles is slated for a 1:00 kickoff and is also Family Day.

COACHING BIOGRAPHIES
Head Coach Lance Leipold
Leipold directed the UW-Whitewater to the National Collegiate Athletic Association
Division III championship, winning the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl in Salem, Virginia,
in December 2007, just eleven months after his hiring. The 2007 Warhawks went
14-1, were undefeated in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, and
extended their conference and home winning streaks to twenty-one and twenty-five
game, respectively (as of April 1, 2008). The Warhawks' 2007 season helped earn
Leipold national Division III coach of the year honors from the American Football
Coaches Association, D3football.com, Schutt Sports, and Fieldturf
Incorporated. That 2007 season included eight first team all-conference picks, six
All-Ameircans, the national Division III player of the year (Gagliardi Trophy) and the Division III Rimington
Trophy recipient.
Leipold, a quarterback for the Warhawks in the mid-1980s and former Warhawk assistant coach, was
associate head coach and offensive coordinator for the University of Nebraska-Omaha since 2004 before
returning to head the UW-W football program in January 2007.
Leipold, of Jefferson, played four years for the Warhawks (1983-1986). The 1984 team won the WIAC
title, and the teams he played on were a combined 20-10-2.
He is still second all-time in the Warhawk record books for career pass attempts (647), third in yards
(4277), fifth in completions (303) and tied for ninth with 27 touchdowns.
He is also among the top 10 in those same categories in the UW-W records for a single season, all in his
junior year in 1985. In a game against UW-River Falls in 1985 Leipold completed 37-57 for 494 yards -all among the top 20 individual games in WIAC history. He was the team MVP in 1986, and was elected
to the UW-W Athletics Hall of Fame in 2003.
Leipold's coaching career began where he played, at UW-W. He coached quarterbacks in 1987 and wide
receivers in 1988, helping both teams win WIAC (then WSUC) championships. After one year at Doane
College in Nebraska, he returned to UW-W in 1990 to coach and work on a master's degree. He helped
the Warhawks win another WIAC title while serving as Berezowitz's offensive coordinator. Leipold moved
on to the University of Wisconsin-Madison for the 1991, '92 and '93 seasons, serving as a graduate
assistant all three years, he worked with the offense. The 1993 Badgers won the Big Ten and the Rose
Bowl, going 10-1-1. His first stint at Division II Nebraska-Omaha covered 1994-2000, where he was part
of a staff that turned UNO from a 1-10 team (1994) to North Central Conference champions in 1996, 1998
and 2000. He was UNO's offensive coordinator in 2000. He moved to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
in 2001, serving as an administrative assistant the same year Cornhuskers played in the national
championship game. In 2002 and 2003 Nebraska also went to bowl games with Leipold as a member of
the staff. He returned to UN-Omaha in 2004 as the associate head coach and offensive coordinator,
where he contributed to three consecutive 8-3 seasons and three straight conference championships.
Leipold took over for his former coach Bob Berezowitz. Berezowitz announced his retirement before the
2006 season, ending a 22-year career. That span included 158 wins, third most in the history of the
WIAC, a .680 winning percentage, nine conference championships, and five NCAA III playoff
appearances.
Leipold and his wife Kelly have a daughter, Lindsey, and a son, Landon.
