Witt to host Mt. St. Joseph in first round
Wittenberg will host Mt. St. Joseph in the first round of the NCAA Division III playoffs on Saturday, Nov. 21, the NCAA announced Sunday.
Mt. St. Joseph was undefeated until losing to Thomas More on Saturday. It finished 9-1.
If the Tigers win, they would play Case Western Reserve or Trine in the second round. Mount Union isn’t in Wittenberg’s eight-team bracket.
Wittenberg enters the playoffs not only with the momentum of their first 10-0 season since 2000, but with the confidence that comes with having destroyed two of the top four teams in the NCAC, Allegheny and Wooster, by a combined score of 94-16 in the final two weeks.
In going 10-0, the Tigers outscored their opponents 388-53. Only Wabash played the Tigers close. Wittenberg won that game 10-7 on a last-second field goal by Zack Harris.
This is its first playoff appearance since 2006 when it lost in the first round at Capital. It is seeking its first playoff victory since 2002 when it lost to Wabash in the second round.
