The Battling Bishops capped their 2004 regular season with a perfect run through the season-ending tourney. Junior defender Hillary Hughes (Westerville, OH/South) scored the game-winning goal with 34:36 left in regulation off senior Toni Frissora's (Westerville, OH/South) corner kick to lift Ohio Wesleyan over Wittenberg in the championship game. In the semifinals, OWU topped fourth-seeded Allegheny, 2-0. third-seeded Wittenberg used a 4-3 advantage in penalty kicks to advance to the championship game after knotting with second-seeded Denison, 0-0, in their semifinal matchup.
