The campaign takes center stage September 5-6, when the Warhawk volleyball, football, women’s soccer, and men’s tennis teams host competitions on campus.<\/p>\n

“It’s an exciting time to be a part of the Warhawk family, and we hope the Purple Wave will help generate pride and excitement around our teams, student-athletes, and coaches,” said\u00a0Ryan Callahan<\/a><\/dfn>, assistant chancellor and director of intercollegiate athletics. “I’m grateful for the support of our campus and community partners as we look to make this an annual tradition as we welcome new and returning students to UW-Whitewater.”<\/p>\n

The Warhawk volleyball team, which finished as NCAA Division III national runner-up in 2024, hosts two matches each on September 5-6 at Russell Arena inside the Williams Center. The men’s tennis team will host multiple institutions for the Warhawk Fall Invite at the UW-Whitewater Outdoor Tennis Complex\u00a0on September 5-6.<\/p>\n

On September 6, the football team hosts Carleton for its 2025 season opener at 1 p.m. inside Perkins Stadium, and the women’s soccer team takes on Marian at 6 p.m. at Fiskum Field.<\/p>\n
