Stevens Point, Wis. — The UW-Whitewater football team registered over 500 yards of total offense en route to a 45-14 win at UW-Stevens Point Saturday afternoon. 

The Warhawk offense averaged 6.5 yards per play with 349 passing yards and 177 yards in the ground game. The UWW defense stifled the run game allowing just 56 rushing yards for the Pointers in the contest. 

Defense turned to offense early. Following a punt in the Warhawks’ opening drive, Deven Magli cut the UWSP drive short by jumping a passing lane for an interception at the UWW 31. Six plays later UW-Whitewater found the endzone as Justin Klinkner connected with Blake Haggerty on a 20-yard scoring pass. Seth Adams’ extra point gave the Warhawks a 7-0 advantage. 

That score quickly doubled as the offense came right back out following a great special teams play. On the ensuing kickoff, Efrein Ramirez forced a fumble and Jace Kranig recovered at the UWSP 14. On the first play of the drive, Tyler Vasey took the ball in the backfield straight up the middle for a 14-yard touchdown run. Adams converted again for a 14-0 lead. 

The second quarter saw Adams drill a 23-yard field goal and a Klinkner rushing touchdown from one yard out as the Warhawks took a 24-0 lead into halftime. 

On the other side of the break, the UWW defense forced a three-and-out and the Warhawk offense capitalized. Patrick Lippe hauled in a Klinkner near the goal line for the 20-yard score. The point after extended the gap to 31-0. 

The Pointers got on the board after capitalizing on a turnover. UW-Stevens Point scored on a 30-yard touchdown pass for the final score of the third quarter. 

Both teams hit paydirt in the fourth — the Warhawks on a Brian Stanton 14-yard run and a 29-yard Cole Berghorn TD run while Pointers used a two-yard pass to tally their second touchdown of the day. 

Klinkner was 29-37 for 336 yards and a pair of passing touchdowns. He added another with his feet in the game. Vasey was the top target hauling in seven catches for 105 yards. 

Defensively, Ethan Gallagher paced the Warhawks with eight tackles. Noah Moris added three tackles, a sack and a quarterback hurry. 

UW-Whitewater returns to Perkins Stadium for a game under the lights next week. The Warhawks will host UW-Stout Friday night at The Perk with kickoff set for 7 PM.

Comments from Coach Greg Stewart:
“We played well considering we had to play many of our team members up another flight of singles and doubles. We lost a few of our players due to illness and other circumstances. I was really proud of our freshmen and sophomores who won their first match ever in tournament play! Some of the matches featured comeback wins after the players initially fell behind in the first set.”

A special shout-out to WHS Senior Aubrey Ramirez-Mendoza and WHS sophomore Taryn Rothwell. Ramirez-Mendoza had a shoulder injury early in her season, to come back with a strong performance in her subsectional match. Rothwell lost in her subsectional match but finished the season with a 16-6 record at number #1 singles and was named to the second team All Rock Valley Conference Team.

The Whitewater Boys’ and Girls’ Cross Country Teams raced under the Friday night lights on October 3 at the Nightfall Classic in Green Lake, an event known for its unique atmosphere and large, competitive field. With strong Division 2 schools from across the state toeing the line, the meet provided both stiff competition and memorable racing opportunities.

Boys’ Varsity

Whitewater placed 11th overall with 281 points, led by freshman Tyler Carollo, who crossed the line in 18:58.9 for 31st place. He was followed by Wyatt Esch (55th, 20:09.9), Quinton O’Toole (63rd, 20:27.6), Marcus Roselle (65th, 20:34.2), and Isaiah Mendez (67th, 20:36.9) to complete the scoring five. Depth came from Angel Kilar (77th, 22:11.0), Carson Miller (87th, 23:54.5), Sam Nickelsburg (88th, 23:58.1), and Jameson Rothwell (131st, 25:07.0).

Head coach Chad Carstens was pleased with his team’s effort in the electric environment. “It’s always fun to run under the lights, and the kids really fed off the atmosphere tonight,” Carstens said. “Tyler continues to impress as a freshman, and our pack is showing signs of tightening up, which will be critical heading into the conference meet.”

Girls’ Varsity

Whitewater finished 12th with 307 points, led by sophomore Virginia Nelson, who ran a composed race to place 35th in 22:25.6. Teammate Delaney Hammack followed in 56th (24:05.9), with Ema Aranda (62nd, 24:24), Melody Smith (74th, 25:38.2), and Payton Brautigam (80th, 27:18.7) rounding out the scoring. Additional depth came from Noelia Villegas-Korbel (81st, 27:31.2) and Madelyn Taylor (82nd, 27:32.1).

Carstens highlighted the girls’ steady development. “Virginia set the tone for us again, and it was great to see Melody getting back to form after missing some meets due to injury,” he said.

The Nightfall Classic served as a valuable tune-up for Whitewater as they approach the postseason. With the Rock Valley Conference Championships on the 16th, the Whippets are focused on being the best they can be in the championship phase of their season.
