SERIES

UW-Whitewater leads the all time series 2-0, posting back-to-back wins during the regular season over Washington-St. Louis in 2012 and 2013.

NEXT UP

NOTABLE

• The 17 tackles made by junior linebacker Bryce Leszczynski (Milwaukee, Wis./Pius XI) last Saturday at Concordia Moorhead were the most by a Warhawk since Nov. 12, 2005, when Robb Widuch collected 22 tackles and A.J. Raebel tallied 20 stops.
• The Warhawks look to avoid their first 0-3 start since the 1999 season, when the team was downed by Lambuth (39-16), Hardin-Simmons (25-7) and Western Washington (45-14) in three games to start the year.
