The UW-Whitewater football was dominant in a 48-7 win at UW-Eau Claire Saturday afternoon.

Tyler Vasey (Crystal Lake, Ill/Prairie Ridge) and the Warhawk special teams unit set the tone early. Vasey took the opening kick 71 yards down to the UWEC 24-yard line. Three plays later, Jackson Fox (Kirkland, Wash./Lake Washington) nailed a 35-yard field goal for an early 3-0 lead. That was the lone score of the first quarter. 

On the first play of the second quarter, Dyson Klubertanz (Franklin, Wis./Franklin) jumped a passing lane inside the Warhawks five-yard line and returned the pick to the 29. The turnover led to UW-Whitewater's first touchdown of the game - a 14-yard Jason Ceniti (Madison, Wis./Madison Memorial) to Brian Stanton (Plainfield, Ill./South) connection for the 10-0 advantage. That would be all the Warhawks needed in the game, but UWW continued to roll. 

UWW scored on the next drive as Drake Martin (Rhinelander, Wis./Rhinelander) punched it in for the 17-0 lead. Jaden Hendrickson (Hollandale, Wis./Pecatonica) picked off a pass on the Blugold's next drive and the Warhawks turned it into points on the other end. Another Ceniti passing touchdown, this time to Vasey from two-yards out, put the finishing touches on the drive. Fox split the uprights on the point after for a 20-0 advantage. 

On the other side of the break, the Warhawks added 14 points in the third courtesy of a 36-yard Noah Battle (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove) run and a 44-yard Vasey carry. 

The fourth quarter saw 14 more added to UWW's total in response to an Eau Claire touchdown early in the period. Ceniti took off on a 38-yard scoring sprint. He added a second score with his feet on a four-yard run to cap the scoring in the game for the 48-7 final. 

Ceniti was 10-11 for 149 yards and a passing touchdown. He added 124 yards and a pair of scores on the ground. Vasey registered 75 yards on five carries with a touchdown in the game. 

Vasey was also the top target with four catches. Steven Hein (St. Charles, Ill./North) led the receiving corps with 45 yards on a pair of catches. 

Defensively, Kamrin Hutt (Schaumburg, Ill./Maine West) had a phenomenal game with 12 tackles including 10 solo and a tackle for a loss of two.
