Wittenberg dropped a 5-1 decision to nationally ranked Ohio Wesleyan on Oct. 4. Junior goaltender Danny Carman (Louisville, Ky./Male) turned away 16 shots by the Battling Bishops to keep the Tigers competitive until the end of the game. Freshman Taggart Suddes (Ostrander, Ohio/Dublin Coffman) scored Wittenberg's lone goal on a breakaway late in the second half.
On Saturday, the Tigers finally broke out of their offensive doldrums, knocking off visiting Wabash, 5-1. Five different Wittenberg players scored goals, including senior Steve Cassiere (Cincinnati, Ohio/Turpin), who contributed a goal and an assist.
