The women's soccer game pits a pair of neighborhood rivals as Cedarville travels north to Springfield. The Tigers are off to a mixed start with a record of 3-6. The Tiger football team is rolling again with a 2-0 record and a No. 4 ranking in the nation.

The Tiger field hockey team is currently ranked 14th nationally in NCAA Division III with a record of 7-0 and leads the NCAC as well.

The half-hour show appears each Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. and Friday at 6:30 p.m. The episode including Wittenberg field hockey will be shown beginning Oct. 4 at 5:30 p.m., due to other programming issues, and then will appear throughout the month of October at the aforementioned times.
