Pointers enter Saturday's game having beaten Warhawks twice since 2004 in UWW Homecoming games

UW-Whitewater and UW-Stevens Point are no strangers to matching up in Homecoming games at Perkins Stadium.

Since 2004 the two WIAC rivals have played three times in UW-Whitewater’s Homecoming game at the Perk with the Pointers winning two of the three games.

In 2004 - the Pointers shocked Whitewater 15-12 on a dank and dreary day at Perkins Stadium. The Warhawks led 12-7 at the end of three quarters. The Pointers took the lead on a 23 yard Brett Borchart to Kurt Kielblock pass with 7:35 left in the fourth quarter. UWSP converted a two-point conversion to extend the lead to 15-12.

The Hawks put a drive together on the ensuing possession and had an opportunity to tie the game however Mike Chalk’s 46 yard field goal attempt slid wide-left with 4:17 remaining.

The Pointers offense sealed the deal by running the clock out on the final possession of the game.

In 2008 - the Pointers stunned Whitewater when Jared Beckwith hit Jared Jenkins on a 10 yard touchdown pass with 15 seconds remaining. Still trailing 16-15, veteran head coach John Meich elected to go for the win. Beckwith connected with Jenkins again on a diving catch in the right corner of the end zone for the 17-16 lead, and the win.

The Pointers' win also ended Whitewater's Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference record-tying win streak at twenty-five games, and UW-W's WIAC record home field win streak at twenty-seven games.

It marked the last regular season loss for the Warhawks.

U-Dub-Dub will enter Saturday’s game vs. the Pointers on a 37-game win streak – the longest in the nation in any division.

The Hawks have won 18 consecutive conference games and currently have a 23 game win streak at Perkins Stadium including playoff victories.

The Warhawks welcome UW-Stevens Point to Perkins Stadium on Saturday for U-Dub-Dub's 2011 Homecoming – Hall of Fame Day game. Kickoff will be at 1:05 p.m.

Tickets for home games can be purchased at the University Center ticket office Monday-Friday during normal business hours. Tickets will also be available at Perkins Stadium on game day.
