Tigers End the Season With A Win

Sebastian Missura

The Wittenberg men's soccer team rounded out its 2003 season with a 2-1 double overtime road victory over Oberlin on Saturday. The win gave Wittenberg eight on the season, and it extended to 21 the number of consecutive seasons that the Tiger men's soccer program has registered at least seven wins.

The Tigers wrapped up the season with goals by sophomore Matt Berry (Tipp City, Ohio/Tippecanoe) in the first half and freshman Sebastian Missura (Quito, Ecuador/American School) in the second overtime. Senior goalkeeper Matt Sharp (Mainville, Ohio/Middletown Fenwick) recorded seven saves in the game. Assists were awarded to freshmen Nick Hauff (Delaware, Ohio/Hayes) and Jason Sucher (Lousville, Ky./duPont).

Missura was named NCAC Player of the Week for his heroics, the first such honor of his career and the first such honor for a Wittenberg player in 2003. He finished the year with nine goals and one assist for a team-high 19 total points. That total ranked ninth in the NCAC as well.

Berry finished with 14 total points on six goals and two assists, while sophomore Andy Stewart (Huber Heights, Ohio/Wayne) added 10 total points on three goals and four assists. Nine freshmen saw significant action in 2003, including Adam Horrocks (Delaware, Ohio/Hayes), the team's primary goalkeeper. The team loses just four seniors, including four-year letterwinners Greg Zeller (Springfield, Ohio/North), Steve Doring (Dayton, Ohio/Wayne) and Tim Fogler (Chagrin Falls, Ohio/Kenston).
