Fox Sports Wisconsin: UW-Whitewater set to reclaim position at the summit

The UW-Whitewater football will report to its 2013 training camp. Coming off a 7-3 mark last season the Warhawks will be looking to battle for another WIAC Title after falling short last season. A solid nucleus will return for Whitewater and the focus during spring practice was to put 2012 in the rear view mirror and re-direct the focus and energy into the upcoming season.

Foxsportswisconsin.com published a lengthy story this morning with writer, Jesse Temple, getting quotes from Head Coach Lance Leipold along with several players.

The message appears perfectly clear. The Hawks streak of 46 consecutive wins ended in week 2 of 2012. The stunning 7-6 loss to Buffalo State was followed by back-to-back losses to eventual conference champion UW-Oshkosh followed by a road loss at UW-Stevens Point.

While not likely to be picked as the preseason favorite to win the league title this year the players are highly motivated to climb back up the WIAC “mountain,” take a week at a time attitude, and be a strong challenger for a 33rd WIAC Championship come November.
