Springfield, Ohio — Wittenberg University Men’s Lacrosse Head Coach Jay Owen has announced that four student-athletes will join the Tiger program in August 2014. 

The new recruits join a team that finished 10-5 overall and 4-3 in the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) a year ago. The Tigers advanced to the NCAC Tournament for the first time in the event’s three-year history before bowing out to nationally ranked Denison in the semifinals. 

Wittenberg is expected to return 29 letterwinners to the roster in 2015. The Tigers are scheduled to open the 2015 campaign with a game at Hampden Sydney on Feb. 21. 

The new recruits are: 

• Ryan Roll (Dublin, Ohio/Scioto)
• Brendan Rigney (Mechanisburg, Pa./Cumberland Valley)
• Connor McDunn (Hilliard, Ohio/Bradley)
• Austin Brady (Pickerington, Ohio/North) 

“I am looking forward to welcoming this outstanding group of young men to the Wittenberg University community,” Owen said. “I look forward to working with them to succeed both academically and athletically.”
