The precocious young Tigers advanced to the North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament championship game before finally seeing their season end on Saturday. Thu, 11 Nov 2004 05:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/wsoc/2004-05/releases/20120418ft297b https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/wsoc/2004-05/releases/20121017ingpgm A dream season had to come to an end sometime, and it appears that the 2004 season finally may have come to an end for the Wittenberg women's soccer team. The Tigers, making their first appearance in the North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament championship game, lost 1-0 to nationally ranked and top-seeded Ohio Wesleyan on Saturday. Sat, 06 Nov 2004 05:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/wsoc/2004-05/releases/20121017ingpgm https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/wsoc/2004-05/releases/20121017mzepon Making their first appearance in the North Coast Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Tournament since 2001, the Wittenberg Tigers pulled off one of the biggest upsets in school history to advance to Saturday's championship game as they knocked off 14th ranked Denison University, 4-3 on penalty kicks. The game officially goes down as a tie as the two teams battled to a 0-0 tie through regulation and two 10-minute overtime periods, but the Tigers advanced to the title game with the penalty kick advantage.

The Tigers, with freshmen and sophomores scattered throughout the roster and all through the starting lineup as well, had advanced to the North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament for the first time since 2001 with a 2-0 victory over Oberlin College. Sat, 30 Oct 2004 04:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/wsoc/2004-05/releases/20121017brp90f https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/wsoc/2004-05/releases/20120418pgo7ls The Wittenberg women's soccer team has played extremely well in the 2004 season, but in the rugged North Coast Athletic Conference that isn't always good enough. Saddled with a 4-3 conference record following Wednesday's 2-1 loss at nationally ranked Denison, the Tigers must defeat Oberlin on Saturday and hope for a loss by either Allegheny or Kenyon or see their season come to an unexpectedly early close.

The Tigers lost a key North Coast Athletic Conference game to Denison, ranked No. 14 in the nation, by a 2-1 score.

Needing a win to remain in the mix for the North Coast Athletic Conference postseason tournament, the Tigers came out and easily took care of their conference foe. The Tigers were able to push a goal across in each half to beat the Hiram Terriers 2-0.

The youthful Tigers had been wracked by injuries to key players and had won six games by razor-thin 1-0 margins before finally losing 4-1 at home to Kenyon in a key North Coast Athletic Conference match-up on Wednesday. Fri, 22 Oct 2004 04:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/wsoc/2004-05/releases/20120418u66kt3 https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/wsoc/2004-05/releases/20121017hm9vlf The steady drizzle and fog that enshrouded Bill Edwards Field on Tuesday matched the mood on the Wittenberg Tigers bench by game's end as the visiting Kenyon Ladies captured a hard-fought 4-1 victory. The loss dropped the Tigers into a tie with Kenyon in the North Coast Athletic Conference standings at 3-2. Wittenberg is 9-2-4 overall, while Kenyon is now 9-5-1 overall. Both remain very much in the hunt for the 2004 NCAC Tournament with three games remaining.

For the sixth time in 2004, the Tigers won a game 1-0, this time victimizing the visiting Urbana Blue Knights. Fri, 15 Oct 2004 04:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/wsoc/2004-05/releases/20121017fxt51h https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/wsoc/2004-05/releases/20121017q8mho6 It doesn't matter that Wittenberg took 21 more shots than its opponent, nor does it matter that the ball was almost exclusively in the Earlham end of the field. What matters is the 1-0 score on the board at the end of the game, which gave the Tigers a hard-fought victory over the visiting Quakers and improved Wittenberg to 8-1-4 overall and 3-1 in the North Coast Athletic Conference on the season.

The Tigers lost to nationally ranked North Coast Athletic Conference powerhouse Ohio Wesleyan in double overtime, 1-0, Saturday at Bill Edwards Field. Sat, 09 Oct 2004 04:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/wsoc/2004-05/releases/201210173e9675 https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/wsoc/2004-05/releases/201204184naz65 The Wittenberg women's soccer team continued its magical ride through the 2004 season last weekend, upsetting perennial North Coast Athletic Conference powerhouse Allegheny on the road. It was the second straight 1-0 road win over a 2003 NCAC Tournament participant, coming a week after a 1-0 victory over Wooster. Fri, 08 Oct 2004 04:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/wsoc/2004-05/releases/201204184naz65 https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/wsoc/2004-05/releases/20121017w83gh2 In a season of landmark victories (and ties), the youthful Wittenberg Tigers picked up another stunner on Saturday, capturing a 1-0 overtime win at Allegheny. The win improved the Tigers, who have had just one winning season since 1995, to 7-0-4 overall and 2-0 in the North Coast Athletic Conference.

But through the first month of the campaign, the Tigers remain unbeaten at 6-0-4 after a strong week in which they defeated perennial North Coast Athletic Conference powerhouse Wooster and tied perennial Ohio Athletic Conference power Wilmington.

The tie for Wittenberg was a school-record fourth on the year, as the Tigers moved to 6-0-4, while Wilmington went to 6-3-1 overall and concluded regular season nonconference play for the 2004 season.
