Leipold, Coppage Head All-WIAC Team 11/16/2011 UW-Whitewater head coach Lance Leipold and senior running back Levell Coppage (Oak Park, IL/Oak Park) head the 2011 All-Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference football team. A total of seventeen Warhawks were named to the first, second, honorable mention or sportsmanship teams. Leipold, in his fifth season at UW-W with a 67-3 record overall and 43-1 in the WIAC, earned the WIAC George Chryst Coach of the Year honor for the third consecutive year. He has directed the Warhawks to five WIAC titles, four consecutive Division III title games and three national championships, and a fortygame win streak, the longest active streak in college football and tied for the fifth longest ever. Coppage repeats the Player of the Year selection that he also earned in 2010, becoming the fifth player in WIAC history to earn the honor twice. One of the previous four was his former teammate, UW-W placekicker Jeff Schebler (2006-2009). Coppage, the only player in WIAC history to rush for at least 1,000 in four seasons, owns WIAC career records for yards (7,080) and touchdowns (98). He has carried the ball 241 times for 1,405 yards and 17 touchdowns this season. UW-W teammates joining Coppage on the All-WIAC First Team Offense were wideout Tyler Huber (Mukwonago/North Prairie), offensive lineman Logan Allemand (Kenosha/Tremper), quarterback Matt Blanchard (Lake Zurich, IL/Lake Zurich), and placekicker Eric Kindler (Germantown/Germantown). Huber, a junior, led UW-W in receptions (54) and yards receiving (905). He caught a personal collegiate high, and team season, high ten passes in last Saturday's win over UW-La Crosse. Allemand, a senior who was an honorable mention selection last year, paved the way for Coppage, helping the Warhawks lead the WIAC in rushing offense, total offense, and scoring offense. Blanchard led the WIAC in passing efficiency, combining a high completion percentage (.685), touchdown passes (19) with just three interceptions. Blanchard, repeating as First Team All-WIAC, has thrown for 2,133 yards. Kindler connected of 13-18 field goals and 43-44 extra points this season. His four field goals against UW-La Crosse tied the UW-W record, and his two field goals were crucial in Whitewater's 20-17 win at UW- Oshkosh. Whitewater's First Team All-WIAC Defense picks included lineman Casey Casper (Dousman/Kettle Moraine), linebacker Greg Arnold (Big Bend/Mukwonago), and defensive back Noah Timm (Two Rivers/Two Rivers). Casper, a senior, led UW-Whitewater in tackles for a loss (9 for 35 yards) and quarterback sacks (5.5 for 22 yards). He made 43 tackles, tied for second on the team, while also contributing a pass block, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Arnold, another senior, led the Warhawks with 45 tackles despite missing three games with an injury. He was a second team all-league pick in 2010. Timm, a junior, tied for the lead in the WIAC with five interceptions and was second in passes broken up (1.3/game). Two interceptions and a blocked field goal attempt played a key role in Whitewater's win over UW-Eau Claire. Timm also has 33 tackles this season. Four UW-Whitewater players were named to the All-WIAC Second Team Defense. The honorees were linemen Jake Hohlstein (Portage/Portage) and Jake Keeser (Fort Atkinson/Fort Atkinson), linebacker Ryan Cortez (Palatine, IL/Palatine, IL), and back Ryan Wenkman (Wisconsin Dells/Wisconsin Dells). Hohlstein, a junior, made the team even though injury limited him to seven games where he had 12 tackles, 2.5 for a loss, and one sack. Keeser, a senior, totaled 19 tackles, six tackles for a loss, three sacks and one fumble recovery. Cortez, a sophomore, was credited with 42 tackles, five tackles for a 136

loss, three interceptions, two passes broken up, and one sack, while Wenkman made 36 tackles and tied Timm for the WIAC lead with five interceptions in his junior year. Senior lineman Ryan Olson (Stoughton/Stoughton) represented UW-W on the Second Team Offense. Like Allemand, his work in the trenches helped the Warhawks post scoring offense and total offense numbers that were among the top ten in the NCAA III statistics. Tight end Jason Ford (Palatine, IL/Fremd), fullback Bernie Tamsett (Waterford/Waterford Union), and punter Kris Rosholt (Reedsburg/Reedsburg) were All-WIAC Offensive Honorable Mention picks. Ford, a senior, caught 22 passes for two touchdowns and Tamsett 16 for four TD's, but their blocking in Whitewater's offense contributed as much as any other factor in earning the all-conference accolade. Rosholt was First Team All-WIAC in 2010 and second team in 2009. He averaged 36.6 yards per punt, with four touchbacks, seven fair catches, and 16 punts inside the 20 yard line. Warhawk senior defensive back Jared Kiesow (Horicon/Horicon) was Whitewater's representative on the Sportsmanship Team. Each school names one player that exemplifies the WIAC's emphasis on good sportsmanship. Kiesow and Rosholt were named College Sports Information Directors of America/Capitol One Academic All-District picks earlier this week. UW-Whitewater went 10-0 overall and 7-0 in the WIAC during the regular season. The Warhawks will begin NCAA playoff action Saturday, November 19 at 12:00 with Albion College visiting Perkins Stadium.
