You almost expected Van Halen out of the Perkins Stadium PA system as #1 <strong>UW</strong>-<strong>Whitewater</strong>, 3-0,<br />

“jumped” all over Campbellsville University, 2-1 and ranked 17 th in the National Association of<br />

Intercollegiate <strong>Athletics</strong> poll, 54-14 Saturday afternoon in Perkins Stadium in <strong>Whitewater</strong>, Wisconsin. The<br />

win increased <strong>UW</strong>-W’s streak <strong>to</strong> 32 in a row, the longest in NCAA football.<br />

<strong>UW</strong>-<strong>Whitewater</strong> scored the first four times it had the ball, and the string of six scores in seven attempts<br />

was only broken by a missed field goal on the way <strong>to</strong> a 37-7 halftime lead.<br />

<strong>Whitewater</strong>’s first possession began at their 18. A five play, 82 yard drive ended with Matt Blanchard<br />

(Lake Zurich, IL/Lake Zurich) <strong>to</strong>ssing a 50 yard pass <strong>to</strong> Cory Robinson (Cambridge/Cambridge). That<br />

drive <strong>to</strong>ok just 2:18 off the clock. The next time it <strong>to</strong>ok just three plays, and 1:14, for <strong>UW</strong>-W <strong>to</strong> score on a<br />

Desmin Ward (Milwaukee/Hamil<strong>to</strong>n) 48 yard run <strong>to</strong> make it 14-0.<br />

Still in the first quarter, Campbellsville QB Zach Eastham was picked off at the CU 49 by Noah Timm<br />

(Two Rivers/Two Rivers). Six plays later Eric Kindler (German<strong>to</strong>wn/German<strong>to</strong>wn) kicked a 40 yard field<br />

goal with 1:47 left in the first <strong>to</strong> up the margin <strong>to</strong> 17-0.<br />

A CU punt set up the Warhawks at their own 46 with six seconds left in the first. On the first play after the<br />

punt Blanchard hooked up with Tyler Huber (Mukwonago/North Prairie) for the score, and with a muffed<br />

snap on the PAT, <strong>UW</strong>-W led 23-0 at the end of the first.<br />

The next possession was the only time in the streak that <strong>UW</strong>-W did not score, with Kindler’s 49 yard<br />

attempt falling short.<br />

The Tigers <strong>to</strong>ok over on their 32. After a false start penalty moved CU back <strong>to</strong> the 27, Patrick Henry hit<br />

wide out Stan Warrenhuffman behind the Warhawk defense and down the right sideline for a 73 yard<br />

score <strong>to</strong> bring the score <strong>to</strong> 23-7.<br />

On the next kickoff <strong>Whitewater</strong> <strong>to</strong>ok over on the 23 after a illegal block penalty. It <strong>to</strong>ok just 1:39, and four<br />

plays, for the Warhawks <strong>to</strong> increase the lead <strong>to</strong> 30-7 after Blanchard and Huber combined for 64 yards on<br />

the score.<br />

Later in the second, facing a fourth and seven at their 23, Campbellsville’s Carl Ojala had his punt<br />

blocked at the 30 by Ronnie Blaszkowski (Oak Forest, IL/Oak Forest) and <strong>UW</strong>-W <strong>to</strong>ok over at the 30. It<br />

<strong>to</strong>ok just two plays, a Blanchard <strong>to</strong> Luke Menzel (Sheboygan Falls/Oostburg) 28 yard pass and a Levell<br />

Coppage (Oak Park, IL/Oak Park) two yard run, <strong>to</strong> up <strong>Whitewater</strong>’s lead <strong>to</strong> 37-7. The Warhawks <strong>to</strong>ok that<br />

lead in<strong>to</strong> the locker room at the half.<br />
