GAMBIER, Ohio - Despite a strong second half, the Wittenberg Tigers were unable to climb out of a first-half hole and ended up absorbing a 4-2 loss at the hands of the Kenyon Ladies.
The loss dropped the Tigers to 2-11 overall and 2-8 in the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC). Kenyon remained on the inside track for a berth in the NCAC Tournament with records of 8-6 overall and 7-3 in the conference.
Kenyon jumped on top with three goals in a span of less than four minutes midway through the first half.
