2015 Mar 6

Jerry Ngobi, a general management major and member of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater men's basketball team, was part of the Warhawks' recent run to the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Tournament championship.

UW-Whitewater, ranked second in the nation by D3hoops.com, won its fourth-ever WIAC Tournament title last Saturday, defeating UW-Oshkosh 71-57 in the final at Kachel Gymnasium.

With the victory, the Warhawks (24-3 overall) wrapped up the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament, which begins Friday night at 7:30 against Defiance (Ohio) at Kachel Gymnasium in Whitewater. The team makes its fourth consecutive NCAA appearance and 20th in program history.

UW-Whitewater seeks its third national championship in the last four years and fifth overall. The Warhawks won NCAA titles in 1984, 1989, 2012 and 2014.
