After two tough weeks in which the Tigers lost four straight games, the hope is that the ship has been righted after a 1-0 victory over NCAC rival Kenyon on Saturday. Sophomore forward Geri Woessner (Dayton, Ohio/Oakwood) scored a second half goal off an assist from freshman forward Katie Mazzio (Wilmington, Del./A.I. duPont), and sophomore goalkeeper Jenny Miller (Cincinnati, Ohio/Mother of Mercy) made it stand up with eight saves.

The Tigers started last week off with a disappointing defeat at Earlham on Wednesday, a 4-3 decision in overtime. It was Wittenberg's third one-goal defeat already in 2001.

Despite the team's recent struggles, the Tigers can get right back into the conference race this week when perennial power Denison comes calling on Wednesday and then Wittenberg takes to the road on Saturday to face Oberlin. Only the top four teams in the conference make the postseason tournament, so every game from this point is huge for the Tigers, who already have two NCAC losses.
