Unfortunately, that's all the Tigers could take home with them after a game in which they didn't play their best and therefore couldn't keep pace with the third-ranked team in the nation.

The Tigers play the University of Scranton at 5 p.m. Friday, March 12, in the third round of the 2004 NCAA Division III Tournament.

For the first time in school history, the Wittenberg University women's basketball team won a national tournament first round game.

It is what everyone strives for, but few achieve. In the North Coast Athletic Conference the last two years, the Wittenberg University women's basketball team has been nothing short of perfect, and the Tigers capped things with a 66-53 over the visiting Allegheny College Gators.

With 17 straight wins in the books, the Tigers are the No. 1 seed in the North Coast Athletic Conference tournament, but nothing is guaranteed at this point in the season.

Miller sparked an early comeback as the cold-shooting, top-seeded Tigers eased their way past the eighth-seeded Oberlin Yeowomen, 74-62, in North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament Quarterfinal action.

Wittenberg is the only school ever to accomplish the feat.

Chalk one up for variety - on Friday, the Tigers rallied from a 14-point deficit for a 64-57 win at second-place Allegheny. Fri, 06 Feb 2004 05:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/wbkb/2003-04/releases/20120815pmxbmw https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/wbkb/2003-04/releases/20120815ar6sza The Wittenberg University women's basketball team is in the driver's seat to win a third straight North Coast Athletic Conference regular season championship.

Wed, 28 Jan 2004 05:00:00 GMT https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/wbkb/2003-04/releases/20120815lli9i5 https://WittenbergTigers.com/sports/wbkb/2003-04/releases/201208156z48tf It didn't look good for about the first two minutes of the game. After that, it looked very good as the Wittenberg women's basketball team ran past struggling North Coast Athletic Conference rival Earlham, 80-52, on Saturday.

That was the case once again Wednesday night as Wittenberg got a big game from senior guard Amber Bishop and some clutch three-point shooting from senior guard Kari Kitchen to ease their way past visiting Denison, 63-53.
