Late Goal Propels Tigers to Narrow Victory

Adrian, MI-The Tigers traveled to Michigan to take on the Adrian Bulldogs as they have not lost any of their last three games, by tying in two and winning another. In a close 1-0 win the Tigers were able to continue the unbeaten streak and add another win to their record. With the win, the Tigers' record improve to 2-1-3, while the Bulldogs fall to 3-3 and .500 on the young season.

Wittenberg seemed to have the momentum in the first half, leading in opportunities by almost double the amount of Adrian. The Bulldog's keeper kept making saves and both teams were unable to find the back of the net for the first 45 minutes of game time. That trend continued into the 80th minute and with less than 10 minutes left in the game, Wittenberg senior Alex Hill (Powell, OH / Olentangy Liberty) was able to put it past the keeper to score both the first and last goal of the game. The goal was Hill's first on the season and sent the Tigers back home with the win.

Team Leaders

• Sophomore Sarah Deaton (Monroe, OH / Monroe) paced the team in shots with four and three on goal, while Caroline Stupp (Waynesville, OH / Waynesville) and freshman Abby Borland (Dayton, OH / Fairmont) were able to put two shots on frame.
