As the 2026 season approaches, the UW-Whitewater women鈥檚 volleyball team is ready to continue its rich tradition and build on a storied legacy.
The Warhawks, who boast an impressive record of 26-8 from the 2025 season, are coming off their 36th postseason appearance, reinforcing their reputation as a perennial force in collegiate volleyball.
The Warhawks are anchored by two returning AVCA All-Americans, Abbie Dix and Aubrie Krzus. Dix, entering her senior year as a middle hitter, has dominated the nation in blocking over the past two seasons, while Krzus, a senior setter, runs the offense. The team, under the leadership of head coach Stacy Boudreau, who ranks seventh among active Division III coaches with a remarkable win percentage of .777, is poised to leverage its experience and talent.
This season, the team has strengthened its roster by adding a pair of transfers and nine freshmen. The team is ranked No. 16 in the AVCA Preseason Poll and is projected to finish third in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC).
The Warhawks鈥 2026 campaign kicks off at Russell Arena on September 1. The team will face its first road challenge at an invitational in New Jersey, followed by a significant non-conference test at the Calvin University Invitational, where they will encounter formidable opponents, including #9 Calvin.
UWW open their conference play against UW-Stout on September 24 and close the season with a high-stakes matchup against current No. 1 UW-Oshkosh in Oshkosh on November 7.
