Balanced attack has UWW men off to solid start

The Warhawk’s are off to a 5 & 0 start to the season and one of the keys has been different players “stepping up” each game. 

Through five games Whitewater has five players scoring in double figures.  Quardell Young leads the way at 14 points per game. Darnell Harris is averaging 12. Luke Knobel and Eric Bryson each are at 10.8 points and game. K.J. Evans rounds out the double digit scoring at 10.4 points per game. Cody Odegard is averaging 8 points. 

K.J. Evans and Eric Bryson led the way in UWW’s conference opening win at UW-Stout on Saturday. Evans finished with 13 points including 12 of his 13 in the final four minutes of the game.  Bryson finished with 12 points. 

All five of the double digit scorers have led the Hawks in scoring at least one game.

As a team Whitewater is hitting 50.3 percent of it’s field goal attempts. 

Next up will be a trip to La Crosse on Wednesday to take on unbeaten UW-La Crosse.  The Eagles are 6 & 0 and off to its best start since 1997-98. 

The Eagles, led by three with 20 points or more, rolled to an 84-69 win in its WIAC opener last Saturday at UWEC.
