Tigers Win One and Lose One, Giving Head Coach Dawson His 200th Win
One step forward and one step back. Unfortunately, the latter may be the most costly. The week started off well enough for the Tigers, who traveled to Crawfordsville, Ind. and buried host Wabash on Wednesday for a 4-1 NCAC victory. The win, made possible in part by junior Stefan Christman's (Dublin, Ohio/Coffman) two goals, was especially significant because it was Head Coach Steve Dawson's 200th career victory. He is one of just 45 coaches in NCAA Division III history to reach the 200-win plateau.

But on Saturday, the Tigers lost the momentum of four straight NCAC wins by losing to Hiram 1-0 on a second-half penalty kick. As a result, Wittenberg now must defeat Wooster and Allegheny at home this week and also hope for some help from other teams to earn one of the four spots in the upcoming NCAC tournament.
