Ohio Northern earned the top seed by defeating John Carroll, 5-4, on Monday in
Ada. This is the Polar Bears first outright title. A year ago, ONU
tied John Carroll and Otterbein for the regular-season title.
The Blue Streaks of John Carroll will look to defend their Tournament title from 2004. En route to its seventh OAC
Tournament title a year ago, the Streaks' defeated #9 Muskingum, 9-0, #4 Capital, 5-3, and #3 Ohio Northern, 5-4, in
the Championship match.
John Carroll returns four All-OAC players from last season, senior Michelle Petrillo

Academy) and junior Kate Leckenby (Mt. Lebanon, PA). Petrillo earned First Team honors, while Castagnero and
Munro took home Second Team Accolades and Leckenby was named to the Honorable Mention squad.
