The Tigers, however, did have a successful season with a 7-3 record, including a 5-2 mark in the NCAC, good for a second-place tie.

Following a pair of heartbreaking, last-second conference losses at Ohio Wesleyan and Wooster the last two weeks, the Tigers' hopes for a North Coast Athletic Conference championship have been dashed.

The win, which ended Wittenberg's first two-game losing streak since 1992, capped the Tigers' season at 7-3 overall and 5-2 in the North Coast Athletic Conference, good for a second-place tie with Ohio Wesleyan.

The entire season comes down to a road date with fifth-ranked Wooster, which comes in a perfect 8-0 overall and 5-0 in the North Coast Athletic Conference.

In falling to 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the North Coast Athletic Conference, the Tigers will play a home finale with nothing but pride on the line for the second straight year when they host Allegheny at 1 p.m., Nov. 13.

The third major team goal, to win Wittenberg's first national title since 1975 in football and 1977 in any sport, can only be attained if the Tigers can get through the rest of the 2004 regular season unscathed.

After this week's trip to Hiram, which is 0-5 overall and 0-2 in the North Coast Athletic Conference after back-to-back shutout losses against teams Wittenberg has handily defeated, the Tigers head home for a Homecoming Weekend date with nationally ranked Wabash.

Next up for the Tigers, who are now 3-1 overall and 1-0 in the North Coast Athletic Conference, is a Parents Weekend home date with the Earlham Quakers, who are 2-3 overall and 1-1 in the NCAC after a 40-0 whitewashing of Hiram a week ago. It was Earlham's first shutout win since 2002.

On Saturday night, before a raucous Community Night crowd, the Tigers stunned Thomas More with 14 unanswered points in the final eight minutes of the game to steal a 35-31 victory and, hopefully, capture the necessary momentum to get a season with high preseason expectations back on track.
