Football
Two-time defending Division 3 champion Wisconsin-Whitewater and Mount Union, both 14-0, meet tonight for an unprecedented seventh consecutive time in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl in Salem, Va. The teams have split the six meetings.
The Warhawks have also won 44 in a row, last losing to Mount Union in the 2008 game. But running back Levell Coppage said Mount Union remains the standard of Division 3 excellence. “For us to be recognized on a level as Mount Union is a great thing,’’ he said.
Mount Union arrives with the nation’s top-ranked defense, allowing just 202 yards per game. But Mount Union was even better last year, allowing just 197 yards per game, until it got to Salem. There, Coppage ran for 299 yards and three touchdowns in the Warhawks’ 31-21 victory.![]()
