Witt advances, setting up regional final at Whitewater
Wittenberg bounced Trine out of the NCAA Division III playoffs with a 34-17 victory on Saturday at Edwards-Maurer Field.
Quarterback Aaron Huffman tied a school record with five touchdown passes, two to Josh McKee, two to Michael Cooper and one to Aaron Huffman.
Corey Weber ran for a career-high 204 yards on 34 carries.
The 12-0 Tigers will meet another 12-0 team in the regional final. They will play at Wisconsin-Whitewater, which beat Illinois Wesleyan 45-7 on Saturday, on Dec. 5. The game starts at noon in Wisconsin or 1 p.m. Springfield time. The teams are two of eight remaining in the playoffs.
It’s Wittenberg’s first regional final appearance since 2001. The Tigers have not reached the national semifinals since playing in the D-III championship game in 1979.
Wittenberg and Whitewater have never played. Whitewater is No. 2 in the nation and the No. 1 seed in the region. It has played in the last three Stagg Bowls, winning in 2007, but losing to Mount Union in 2008, 2006 and 2005.
