Mounir Boutarfa and Tommaso Favro have been named GMAC Men's Soccer Athletes of the Week.
The Dragons acquitted themselves well against Super Region competition this weekend vs. Saginaw Valley State and future conference member Northwood.
Boutarfa scored twice for Tiffin, which started the fall nationally ranked and as the conference preseason favorites.
Both of those goals were recorded against Northwood as the Dragons won by a final score of 3-1. The graduate student's first score was a successful PK try in the first half.
He later delivered what would be the game winner in the 52nd minute of regulation. Boutarfa also had a shot on goal against Saginaw Valley State in a game that would go to double overtime.
There hasn't been an easy game on Tiffin's schedule after opening the season against now No. 12 ranked Gannon. The Dragons showed they are rounding into form with a dominant display over Northwood as the defense allowed just five shots.
The Timberwolves managed just three shots in the first half and two in the second half as Favro and company made things very difficult for the offense.
Favro has one start in TU's three games this year and has logged a total of 177 minutes.
