Wittenberg Athletic Teams to Appear on Time Warner Cable for Second Year

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio - Wittenberg University athletic teams will appear on Time Warner Cable in the Dayton area several times in the next few months, beginning with tomorrow's men's soccer game at 4 p.m. between the Tigers and Cedarville University at Bill Edwards Field. Time Warner will cover as many as nine other Wittenberg sporting events during the 2002-03 school year, including a football game at 1 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 7 against Albion College.

The Wittenberg-Cedarville soccer game will be cablecast at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 4 and 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 7. The football game will be cablecast at 10 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 7 following the soccer game, as well as at 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 11. The programs can be found on Time Warner Cable systems on channel 25 or 69 in Dayton, channel 30 in the Dayton suburbs, and channel 59 in communities further north.

The soccer game will pit a pair of neighborhood rivals as Cedarville travels north to Springfield. The Tigers are off to an 0-2 start to the 2002 season after losing twice in their own invitational tournament last weekend. The football game against Albion is the opener for both teams and serves as the feature event of Wittenberg's annual Community Day activities. Last season Albion claimed its 32nd Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship while the Tigers finished the 2001 season with an overall record of 11-2 and a mark of 7-0 in the NCAC, good for a fourth consecutive outright conference championship.
