UW-W coach Keri Carollo used twenty-three players in the game and sixteen of them scored.

The last time a Whitewater opponent was held under 40 points was December 21, 1999 when the Warhawks defeated Muhlenberg College 58-37. The 43 turnovers by Edgewood is the fourth highest total ever by a Warhawk opponent, and the most since UW-Stout had 51 December 9, 1989.
