Welcome back to the Scot Rewind, where WoosterAthletics.com is taking a look back at a big win, a monster individual performance, or a significant milestone corresponding with each week of the 2020-2021 academic year. This week's rewind takes us back to the 2018 North Coast Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Tournament, where The College of Wooster captured the title for the first time in program history. Here's the recap from the Fighting Scots' 4-0 blanking of archrival Wittenberg University.

Wooster's women's soccer team won its first NCAC Tournament championship on Saturday (November 3, 2018) with a 4-0 win over Wittenberg.

With the win comes the conference's automatic bid into the NCAA Div. III Women's Soccer Championships. It will be Wooster's third trip and first NCAA appearance since 1996.

The Scots got there with a dominant performance that was displayed the entire 90 minutes. They maintained possession for a majority of the game, kept the ball on their side of the field, and outshot the Tigers 29-5.

Senior Erica White, who was named the tournament's MVP, opened the scoring in the ninth minute. After Krenare Rakoci sent a shot toward the net that was blocked, White was there for the rebound and the score.

It was White's third goal of the tournament and 18th of the season. Earlier in the week, White broke the program's single-season scoring record in the team's 2-1 semifinal win over Kenyon College, a record that stood since 1987.

Twenty minutes later classmate Devin Frisby made it a 2-0 game, scoring from a tough position near the endline.

After an initial corner kick from the senior, Frisby got the ball back near the corner and fired towards the net. The ball hit the Wittenberg goalie's hands and angled over the line and into the side of the net for Frisby's third goal of the year.

Wittenberg was hampered by more poor luck on the next goal as they were the recipients of an own goal just 21 seconds into the second half. After a cross, the ball deflected off a defender's leg and out of reach for the goalie.

Two minutes later, sophomore Miura Wiley put the game far out of reach. White drew the goalie out and made a pass to the middle to Wiley, who sunk her third goal on the year.

White's assist gave her 41 points on the season. Along with her goal earlier in the game, it moved her ahead of the 1987 single-season points record.

Wittenberg (6-9-4) had just one shot on goal, while Wooster (13-3-3) had 14. Goalkeeper Maddy Ireton recorded the win by playing the entire first half to move to 3-2-1 on the season. Molly Hutter played the second half and recorded the team's lone save.

Kelly Corbin took the loss for Wittenberg. She made seven saves and was replaced by Emma Schewe with 20 minutes remaining. Schewe collected three saves.

Wooster repeated as the NCAC Tournament champion in 2019. That game against DePauw University came down to a goal with under a minute remaning in the second overtime stanza, as the second-seeded Scots quckly turned around a successful defensive stand for the game's lone score.

In 2019, near midfield, sophomore Holly Thompson directed the ball into traffic, but placed it at the feet of junior Mila Zunich, who found an open Wiley running down the left side of the field. Wiley dribbled and took her shot just inside the goal box, right past DePauw goalkeeper Reanna Stiehler, who approached to meet her.

The clock read 53.8 seconds as the Wooster bench emptied to rush the field and celebrate.
