GREENCASTLE, Ind. – After giving No. 1-ranked DePauw all it could handle for 20 minutes in the 2013 North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) Tournament semifinals, the Wittenberg Tigers couldn't keep pace in the second half in a 66-43 loss.

The host Tigers improved to 27-0 overall after completing a second straight undefeated NCAC regular season. DePauw advanced to the NCAC Tournament title game on Saturday against second-seeded Kenyon.

Wittenberg capped its season with a mark of 13-14 overall after losing to DePauw in the NCAC Tournament semifinals for a second consecutive season. The Tigers were the No. 5 seed in the competition after tying with Denison for fourth place in the final regular season standings.

Wittenberg ended the first half with a 6-0 run to head into the locker room trailing just 26-24 at halftime.  The momentum proved to be short-lived, however, as DePauw opened the second half with a 13-2 run to break the game open. The visiting Tigers would get no closer than 10 points the rest of the way.

Wittenberg, which was outrebounded 35-23 in the game, was paced by sophomore Katelyn Haralamos (Maineville, Ohio/Kings) with 10 points. All 10 Tigers who saw action in the game scored at least two points and nine of them grabbed at least one rebound.
