Tiffin University will look to continue its pursuit of a NCAA Division II National Championship, as it announced its 2020 football schedule.
The Dragons are coming off a historic 2019 season where they made their first NCAA Championships appearance after winning the GMAC Championship with a perfect 7-0 record. They finished the year ranked 23rd in the country with a 9-2 record, posting back-to-back nine-win seasons for just the second time in program history (2006, 07).
Tiffin will open their season on Sept. 3 with a Thursday night game at Frost Kalnow Stadium against GLIAC opponent Davenport at 7 pm.
Tiffin then takes to the road with a long trip to Saint Anselm (N.H.) on Sept. 12 before returning home for its annual Homecoming game Sept. 19 against GMAC rival Walsh at 4 pm. Tiffin then finishes the month with a tough road battle against 25th ranked Lindenwood (Mo.) on Sept. 26.
The Dragons open October back at home for a 2 pm game against Kentucky Wesleyan on Oct. 10, kicking off the remainder of their season with conference games. They travel to Alderson-Broaddus on Oct. 17, then come back home Oct. 24 for a 2 pm tilt against Lake Erie. Nationally-ranked Ohio Dominican will host the Dragons on Oct. 31 in a big GMAC showdown to finish the month in Columbus.
Two more big matchups remain in November. TU will travel to Hillsdale on Nov. 7 for a 1 pm game before coming home for Senior Day on Nov. 14 against Findlay at 1 pm in a game that could have huge conference and NCAA postseason implications.
