SPRINGFIELD, Ohio - Coming off a win over Washington & Jefferson, the Wittenberg Tigers soundly defeated another opponent, winning big over Adrian, 19-5. The win, which came nearly two months after the game was postponed due to poor weather on Feb. 29, improved the Tigers to 5-5 overall.

Offensively, the Tigers worked in sync with one another as six players contributed two goals apiece in tonight’s win. Scoring these goals were senior Molly Floyd (Shaker Ohio/Hathaway Brown), juniors Lizzie Amorello (Sutton, Mass./Worcester Academy), and Megan Meige (Columbus, Ohio/DeSales), sophomore Chelsea Sickmann (St. Louis, Mo./Ursuline Academy), and freshmen Jordan Beauchamp (Noblesville, Ind./Hamilton Southeastern) and Lisa Blahut (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles).

Defensively, The Tigers were sound as they only allowed five goals, three of which were in the last two minutes of the game. Beauchamp and Lizzie Amorello both had four caused turnovers, along with freshman Hannah Walsh (Rochester, N.Y./Brighton), who contributed with three caused turnovers.
