JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (November 10, 2018) – The 2018 Webber International University football season officially came to an end on Saturday as the Warriors traveled to Jacksonville, Florida, and defeated Edward Water College 37-19 to spoil the Tigers' Senior Day at the University Christian Football Complex.

Webber is now 11-4 all-time against Edward Waters (4-7, 2-4) and has won the last five meetings in the series.

Overall, it was a memorable season for the Warriors, who started off 4-0 for the first time in program history and finished at or above .500 overall for the sixth year in a row. Webber is currently receiving votes in the NAIA National Coaches' Poll and was ranked as high as No. 22 during the season. The Warriors certainly showed that they could play with anybody in the 21-team Mid-South Conference and will be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
