Episode 50 of Inside Warhawk Athletics Presented by Educators Credit Union includes a conversation with Brenda Volk, who is in her 23rd season as head softball coach at UW-Whitewater. Coach Volk is a six-time Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year. She has led the Warhawks to eight WIAC regular season championships, eight WIAC Tournament titles and 13 NCAA Tournament appearances, including a national runner-up finish in 2008 and a third-place finish in 2014. Coach Volk has accumulated more than 650 career wins, and the team has won more than 70 percent of its games during that span. The Warhawks entered the week of April 5th with a 10-4 record for the season, and return home April 14th to take on UW-Platteville.
Volk discussed the 2021 team, her journey in softball, the team’s runs to top-three national finishes in 2008 and 2014 and the program’s ability to sustain and build on its success.
