GREENCASTLE, Ind. - The Wittenberg Tigers have played four games in the 2008 season and they have yet to give up a goal. Until Saturday, the Tigers also had done nothing but win games before finishing in a 0-0 tie with 12th-ranked Emory in a game played at DePauw.
Eighth-ranked Wittenberg moved to 3-0-1 on the young season, matching Emory's record. The Tigers had defeated host DePauw on Friday by a 1-0 count in overtime.
