UW-Whitewater will be hosting the 2013 Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Tournament, May 11-12, in Jim Miller Stadium at Prucha Field in Whitewater, Wisconsin.  The WIAC Tournament champion earns the league's automatic berth in the NCAA III Championship Tournament, which begins regional play May 16 and continues through May 19. 

UW-Whitewater, the WIAC champion, is the top seed.  UW-Stevens Point is seeded second, UW-Oshkosh third and UW-La Crosse fourth.   Whitewater is among the top five in all three national Division III polls, the Pointers are in the top twenty in all three, and Oshkosh is in the "others receiving votes" category in each.

UW-Whitewater has been designated a host for NCAA regional play, although that does not guarantee that the Warhawks will advance to the NCAA III tournament.  The regional will also be played at Jim Miller Stadium at Prucha Field.
