NOTABLE

• The Warhawks aim for their 14th consecutive winning record in conference road games by season. The team's last road record below .500 in WIAC games came in 2003 (1-2). Over the last 14 years (including 2017), UW-Whitewater is 44-4 in league road games during the regular season, good for a .917 winning percentage.
• Senior wide receiver Marcus Hudson (Delavan, Wis./Delavan-Darien) is currently tied for seventh in program history with 19 career receiving touchdowns. He needs two more this season to move into the top five.
