LOOKING AT THE OPPONENT - UW-WHITEWATER: UW-Whitewater (24-6, 9-5 WIAC) enters the Sweet 16 with momentum, winning nine straight games. The Warhawks are led by Kacie Carollo, a dominant scorer averaging 20.4 points and 9.3 rebounds per game while shooting 41.8% from three-point range. She is the engine of the offense, capable of taking over a game.
Supporting Carollo is Katie Hildebrandt (9.4 PPG, 5.7 RPG, 32 blocks), a versatile forward who provides interior scoring and shot-blocking. Maggie Trautsch (9.1 PPG, 4.2 RPG) and Mallory Oloffson (7.6 PPG, 4.1 RPG) add scoring depth and rebounding presence.
The Warhawks thrive on rebounding (+6.2 margin per game) and defense (56.8 PPG allowed), making them a tough matchup for any opponent.
