Box Score

WESTERVILLE, Ohio—For the second time in the week, men's soccer dropped a 2-1 match to a OAC opponent. Wittenberg made the short trip to Westerville to take on the Cardinals of Otterbein, after facing off against the Polar Bears of Ohio Northern earlier in the week. Oddly enough, the Tigers two goals on the week both game on account of an opposing player netting a goal on their own net. Alberto Zaragoza was a steady force for the Tigers on Friday night, managing to get three shots on goal in the game. Wittenberg continues their OAC non-conference tour with Capital on Sunday night.

  • The Tigers managed to get 12 total shots off in the match, six in each half.

UP NEXT

  • Wittenberg returns to action on Sunday night as they face off against Capital  University in Columbus. Kick-off is set for 5:00PM.
