The Gazette: Warhawks put 42-game home winning streak on the line

Excerpted from a Gazette article on September 8:

UW-Whitewater has a 42-game regular-season football winning streak at Perkins Stadium.

That streak faces a strong challenge Saturday afternoon, and thousands of fans are expected to watch it.

No. 1-rated and defending NCAA Division III national champion Mary Hardin-Baylor makes the 1,100-mile journey north to take on the sixth-ranked Warhawks at noon Saturday.

UW-Whitewater coach Kevin Bullis knows the Division III powerhouse matchup will attract a crowd—maybe as many as a record 20,000.

“That’s my dream,” Bullis said. “If we have 15,000, fantastic.”

The Perkins Stadium record crowd is 17,535 that watched the Warhawks play Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference foe UW-Oshkosh on Oct. 8, 2016.

The article continues here, including comments on last week’s game.
