Wittenberg Picks Up Another Win

In their only game last week, the Tigers rolled to a 16-2 win over Marietta. Senior attacker Mario Cassani (Chesterfield, Mo./DeSmet Jesuit) and sophomore attacker Zach Kulow (Wooster, Ohio/Wooster) each had three goals. Sophomore attacker Dan Patterson (St. Louis, Mo./DeSmet Jesuit)added five assists.

Cassani is second in the NCAC in both points (39/4.33) and goals (27/3.0) while Patterson, who has 10 assists in his last three games, has moved up to third in the NCAC (16/1.78).

The Tigers play their last two NCAC games this week, at home against Ohio Wesleyan on Tuesday and at Wooster on Saturday. Wittenberg has no chance to win the conference title, but the Tigers can play spoiler against the Bishops, who lead the league with a 4-0 record. It will be the final time on Edwards-Maurer Field for the team's seven seniors - Shawn Egan (Roswell, Ga./Innocent Episcopal), Mario Cassani (Chesterfield, Mo./DeSmet Jesuit), Tim Schuckman (Cincinnati, Ohio/Moeller), Scott Gilbert (St. Louis, Mo./Christian Brothers College), Chris Gruber (Hudson, Ohio/Hudson), Andy Rathfon (Ft. Washington, Pa./Upper Dublin).

Wittenberg's final game of the season is May 2 at Kenyon in a non-league affair.
