The Tiffin University Dragons are looking to state their case for a GLIAC championship around a solid foundation. The Dragons return six players from their inaugural season in the GLIAC. Tiffin brings back two starters from a year ago in junior guard/forward Holly Focke and sophomore guard Mandy Jaeb. Looking to fill the remaining three spots are guards Jennifer Johnston and Samantha McCall, and centers Katrina Clark and Jessica Harris.

Holly Focke splits her time on the court playing both the guard and forward positions. The 5’9 Cincinnati native can step out and hit the three or get to the basket when she needs to. Focke is once again expected to be a defensive stopper out on the perimeter, as well as down in the post. Focke’s stats reflect her overall game as she averages 6 points per game, 6 rebounds per game, 3 assists per game, and 1 steal per game. Focke also excels off the court, majoring in Hospitality Management.

Mandy Jaeb, who hails from Louisville, OH, is the leading returning scorer in the lineup. The 5’4 guard will lead the charge in the back court. Jaeb’s biggest strength is her quickness in her hands on defense. She gives opposing  guards fits with her in-your-face pressure. Jaeb looks to continue where she left off averaging 10.5 points per game, 2 assists per game, and 2 steals per game. The free throw line is where the opponents look to keep her away from, as Jaeb averaged a scorching 85%. Jaeb is also a stellar student majoring in Business Finance.

Katrina Clark is entering her senior season at the center position. The 6’1, Columbus , OH, native looks to step into the front court and make an impact. Only playing in 13 games last season, Clark has been working to up her game and minutes on the court. Clark looks to get inside and clean up the boards and is very aggressive down in the low block. In her 13 games last season, Clark averaged 3 points per game and 2 rebounds per game. Clark is a Forensic Science major.

Jennifer Johnston was a productive player off the bench a year ago, gaining valuable time on the court. Johnston is working hard to add a more physical style of play to her game, as she competes for time at the guard position. The 5’7 sophomore stepped up to the challenge when called upon, averaging 3 points and 1 rebound in just 12 minutes per game. Johnston is a Business major from Clarkston, MI.

Junior guard Samantha McCall is looking to use her experience to step into a vacant role this season. Only playing in 15 games last year, McCall is looking to contribute in every game this season and be a leader for the incoming freshman. The 5’7 McCall can be dangerous from the three point line if the defense is caught sleeping. McCall is from Dearborn, MI and majors in Sports Management.

Jessica Harris is a redshirt freshman center from Logan, OH. Harris played in only 4 games last season before her year came to an abrupt stop with a season ending injury. Very eager to get back on the court, Harris has been putting countless hours into rehab to make sure she is stronger and prepared for the upcoming season. Harris has her goals set on being a key contributor for the 2009-2010 season and to use her year in the Tiffin system to her advantage. Harris is majoring in Law Enforcement.
