UWW opens with W UW-Whitewater started defense of its 2007 Division III national championship with a victory, despite missing several key players from last year's title team. The Warhawks defeated St. Xavier 24-9, beating a Cougars team that reached the NAIA quarterfinals in 2007. UW-Whitewater opened up a 17-0 lead and put St. Xavier away with a 6-yard touchdown pass from Jeff Donovan to Jordan Wells with 4:07 remaining. The Warhawks allowed only 47 yards rushing but didn't muster much on the ground themselves, picking up just 62 yards. Photo gallery. There's plenty more to come Saturday, provided Hurricane Hanna doesn't wreck more havoc with the schedule along the Atlantic coast. Check out this weekend's schedule.
