Huge comeback goes for naught in 82-78 loss to Cardinals
Tiffin University’s women’s basketball team trailed by 21 against the visiting Saginaw Valley State Cardinals and it looked like the second half might go the same way as the Dragons trailed by 24 early in the second half.

Kelly then made a steal and hit a three point shot off a Mandy Jaeb pass to give the Dragons their first lead of the game with 1:29 left to play. TU couldn’t hang on though as they watched SVSU score the last five points of the game.
Jaeb turned in another strong performance for the Dragons, finishing with 30 points, five assists, and six rebounds. Jessica Harris nearly had a double-double, finishing with 8 points and 12 rebounds while Jennifer Johnston chipped in with 14 points.

Dragons fall in narrow contest with Lakers 75-66
Tiffin University’s women went toe to toe with visiting Grand Valley State University before eventually falling 75-66, but the Dragons had a much better showing against the Lakers than the 86-59 contest they lost at GVSU on December 3rd.
When Mandy Jaeb grabbed a defensive rebound and went coast to coast for a bucket with 4 minutes left to play in the first half to tie the game at 27, the Lakers knew that the game was going to be a lot different than the first meeting. However, the Lakers finished the final four minutes on a 5-1 scoring run, a run that would put the Lakers up for good. The Dragons made many runs in the second half, but could never tie the game up again.
The Dragons fell behind by 12 early in the second half, but kept scoring to keep the game within reach. After cutting the lead to eight, Jessica Harris canned a jumper and freshman Karli Mast hit a three to pull the Dragons within three. TU and GVSU traded baskets over the next four minutes until GVSU took a six point lead with 7:31 remaining. Harris then hit another jumper before nailing two free throws to pull the Dragons to within two with 6:03 showing.
That’s the closest the Dragons would come to tying the game as the Lakers, who are tied for first in the GLIAC North Division, buried some big shots to keep it a two possession game the rest if the way.
Jaeb capped off a great week with her lowest point total in three games, 25, to lead the Dragons in scoring. The sophomore guard also grabbed seven rebounds, dished out five assists, and added a blocked shot while committing only one turnover in 38 minutes of play. Harris added a double-double scoring 15 points while hauling in 12 boards. Mast also reached double figures, scoring 13 points while handing out three assists. Jordan Jenkins (six), Melissa Gilliland (four), and Jennifer Johnston (three) accounted for the rest of the Dragons' scoring.
The Dragons are now 5-10 overall and 2-8 in the GLIAC. They will travel to Findlay, who leads the GLIAC South, on Thursday.

Tiffin led 40-34 at the half but an ice cold second half led to a 76-64 defeat at Ashland. The Dragons shot just 20 percent from the field after firing 53 percent in the first half. The cold spell led to a huge swing that saw the Dragons leading by 8 points in the first half but eventually traililng by 16 points in the second half.
Ashland outscored TU in the paint 36-14 and took advantage of 19 TU turnovers leading to a 22-7 edge in points off turnovers.

Dragons hang tough in 87-82 win over Lake Erie
The first and second halves of the Tiffin University- Lake Erie College women’s basketball game had the same theme. In each half, the Dragons raced out to a huge lead, watched it evaporate into a deficit, but would be able to prevail in the end to take an 87-82 victory. Monster games from Mandy Jaeb, Karli Mast, and Jessica Harris ultimately carried the Dragons to the win.
Harris, a freshman, had a double-double by halftime. She ended the night with 15 points while hauling in 17 rebounds and also dishing out four assists. Mast, also a freshman, scored 21 points while dishing out six assists while sophomore Jaeb led all players in scoring with 29 points while grabbing seven rebounds and adding five assists. The win comes as a non conference victory, but was a big statement for the Dragons to send to Lake Erie College as the Strom will be a member of the GLIAC next season.
“We talked about the fact they are coming into the conference next year, and we want to send a message now that Tiffin’s not a team that’s going to come in and roll over,” said Dragons’ coach Pam Oswald.
The Dragons started the game with an 8-0 run after Jennifer Johnston hit a three off a Harris pass and a Jaeb three pointer off another Harris pass. Mast then hit a jumper to give the Dragons an eight point cushion with 18:24 left in the first half. The Dragons pushed the lead up to 11 at the 12:50 mark when Jessica Harris hit a jumper off a Mast pass. The Dragons would not be able to hold that lead for long, however, as the Storm kept chipping away at the lead and finally tied the game at 25 with 5:44 remaining.
The Dragons would take leads again, but the Storm tied the game with 1:27 remaining and took their first lead after a three point goal gave them a 39-36 advantage with 1:01 remaining. The Dragons would score the final four points in the first half to take a one point lead into the break. Harris and Jaeb each had two made foul shots to give the Dragons the one point lead.
TU started the second half on an 8-0 run as well. Harris found Jonette McQueen for a jumper and then Mast assisted Jaeb on a three point goal before Johnston hit another triple off a Mast pass. The Dragons would be able to build the lead to 13 when Jordan Jenkins hit a jumper but saw the Storm go on a 13-0 run to tie the game at the 8:39 mark. The Dragons again fell behind by three at the 7:31 mark after a Storm three pointer, but the Dragons tied the game 21 seconds later when Jaeb nailed a three. The Storm came back down the court and hit two free throws after a Dragons foul on McQueen but a Harris jumper followed by two free throws by Jaeb after a defensive stop at 4:59 would give the Dragons the lead for good.
The Dragons used great free throw shooting down the stretch to ice the game. They finished the game 23-26 from the line. Jaeb was a perfect 8-8, while Harris was 7-8, and Mast finished 6-7. Johnston was 2-3 from the stripe.
TU also shot well from three point range. The Dragons finished 10-18 from behind the arc, riding Jaeb’s 5-9 and Johnston’s 2-4. Mast (1-3) and Jordan Jenkins (1-2) also contributed.
The win improves the Dragons to 4-5 overall while dropping Lake Erie to 8-8. The Dragons resume GLIAC play Saturday as they travel to Ashland.
Dragons drop game of inches at Lake Superior 67-64

The Dragons held an 8-point lead in the first half, but were outscored 23-10 over the final 10 minutes of the half to trail at the half 35-30. But Tiffin bounced back quickly after the halftime break and played a back and forth affair the rest of the way.
The biggest difference came at the free throw line, where LSSU held a 23-10 advantage. The shooting percentages, rebounding, and turnovers were nearly identical. Mandy Jaeb led the Dragons with 21 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Karli Mast had 14 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists. Jessica Harris also had 9 points and 12 rebounds.
Ashland maintains early lead, beats TU 65-53
To say Tiffin University’s women’s basketball team got off to a bad start against Ashland would be an understatement. The Dragons would put together some runs during the game, but could never pull themselves out of an early 13 point hole, falling to Ashland 65-53.
After the tipoff, TU fell behind 13-0 with 15:51 remaining in the first half in a stretch that saw the Dragons turn the ball over five times to go along with a 0-3 shooting start from the field. The Dragons got on the scoreboard with 15:24 remaining when Jessica Harris scored off a Melissa Gilliland pass.
The Dragons still trailed by 13 with 1:42 in the half but a 6-0 run over the remaining time cut the Eagles lead to 7 at the break. Trailing 32-19 Karli Mast made a three on an assist from Stephanie Kelly. Mandy Jaeb then made a layup, drawing a foul in the process. After she made the free throw the Dragons trailed 32-25 at the break.
However, the Dragons could not keep the momentum as they came out for the second half. Ashland and TU traded buckets to start the half, but a 13-5 run over the next eight minutes would put the Dragons behind 47-32.
TU didn’t quit though. Trailing by 12 with 6:38 to play, Jordan Jenkins hit a three pointer to cut the lead to 9. Mast then turned a steal into two free throws to bring the Dragons to within 7 before an Ashland bucket that took the Eagles lead back to nine. But the Dragons went on a 5-0 run when Kelly hit a three pointer and Katrina Clark hit a jumper to make it 54-50 Ashland with 5:04 remaining.
The next possession would prove to be the knockout blow Ashland was looking for. After the Dragons forced Elizabeth Tyler to miss a quick three, Tyler got her own rebound and made a layup. The Dragons did get the lead back down to five with 1:42 left to play, but Ashland scored the last seven points to seal the 65-53 win.
Jaeb scored a team high 21 points on her way to being the only Dragon to reach double figures. Mast added nine points and three assists while Jessica Harris led the Dragons with nine rebounds along with scoring six points.
The Dragons forced the Eagles into 21 turnovers while only committing 16, but the Eagles owned a 43-30 advantage on the glass.
The loss drops TU to 3-4 (1-2 GLIAC) while improving Ashland to 3-3 (1-2). The Dragons will travel to Lake Superior State next Saturday in another GLIAC game.
