Second-seeded Wittenberg University was the recipient of a lucky bounce off the head of a College of Wooster defender en route to a 1-0 double-overtime victory Saturday in the final of the 2008 North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament.

The loss ends the Fighting Scots' season with a 14-6 overall record and a 5-3 NCAC mark after Wooster secured the No. 4 seed in the tournament via a 1-0 victory over Denison University on the final weekend of the regular season. Wooster advanced to the final game on Saturday following a 1-0 win on Wednesday in tournament semifinals over the top-seeded Big Red.

The game-winning sequence began with Wittenberg defender Kelly Foley played a ball into the Wooster penalty box from about 30 yards out. The ball redirected off a Wooster defender, eventually finding the back of the net for the game-winner with 1:13 remaining in the second overtime.

Statistically, Wittenberg outshot the Scots by a 9-4 margin, including 8-1 over the final three periods, and the Tigers held a decisive edge in corner kicks at 9-2.

Defensively, Wooster goalkeeper Sara Flannelly stopped four shots during the contest, while Tigers' goalie Jordan Bamberger recorded two saves.

The Tigers move to 11-3-6 on the season, and will advance to the NCAA Division III Tournament for the third consecutive year.
