Third-seeded Ohio Wesleyan claimed their fifth North Coast Athletic
Conference tournament championship. The Battling Bishops capped
their 2005 regular season with a perfect run through the
season-ending tourney. In the semifinals, OWU topped second-seeded
Kenyon, 3-2. Ohio Wesleyan then followed with a hard-fought 2-1
upset win over top-seeded Denison in the championship game. The Big
Red had advanced to the championship game with a 2-1 win over
fourth-seeded Wittenberg in their semifinal matchup. The Bishops
are the first team in the six-year history of the conference
tournament to win two tourney games on the road. They are also the
lowest seed to claim the title.
