To coin a phrase, or flat-out steal a cliche, the Tigers refused to lose Saturday at Hanover College, defeating the host Panthers 34-33 in thrilling fashion.

They are in the NCAA Division III Playoffs for a fifth consecutive year. And while they may have snuck into the postseason via one of just three Pool C bids, the Tigers now hope to do some serious damage.

On Sunday, the Tigers learned that they had received one of three Pool C bids into the competition and would hit the road next weekend to play at Hanover College in Hanover, Ind. at noon Saturday, Nov. 23.

Just ask the Wittenberg University Tigers. In the cold, rain and mud that enveloped the College of Wooster's John P. Papp Stadium on Saturday afternoon, the Tigers came up with four huge defensive plays with the game - and season - on the line to pull out a crucial 14-9 victory over the host Scots.

Papp Stadium in Wooster, Ohio. Both teams are 8-1 overall and 5-1 in the North Coast Athletic Conference, tied for second place behind newly crowned champion, Wabash. While neither team can gain even a share of the conference title, they both have a tremendous amount to play for.

The Wittenberg University Tigers, ranked No. 12 in the nation but only No. 2 in the North Coast Athletic Conference, scored at will and emptied the bench in the process of demolishing Kenyon 79-0.

Since the Oct. 12 overtime loss to Wabash College that put the Tigers behind the eight-ball, however, they have been nothing short of outstanding, putting together three outstanding games with the season on the line each time.

It was the biggest margin of victory in the 14-game history of this normally intense North Coast Athletic Conference rivalry, and it was Allegheny's worst regular season loss since 1953.

But this weekend, the Tigers will get a much greater challenge as one of the best rivalries in the North Coast Athletic Conference is renewed when Allegheny College comes calling.

That's what the Wittenberg University Tigers are hoping after last week's 77-0 trouncing of Hiram College, a victory that spoiled the Terriers' Homecoming a week after the Tigers had their Homecoming interrupted by an overtime loss to Wabash College. Back up to 12th in the latest American Football Coaches Association poll - but more importantly situated in third place in the North Coast Athletic Conference - Wittenberg must now concentrate on taking care of its business while keeping one eye on the scoreboard and the latest scores from around the conference and the nation.
