Dragon Details:

Tiffin snapped a five-game skid last Thursday with a 79-72 overtime victory on the road at Alderson Broaddus. They followed that up with another close game against Ohio Dominican on Saturday but came out on the wrong end of a 77-71 decision.

As a team, the Dragons are second in the GMAC with 40.9 rebounds per game and first with 12.5 offensive boards per game. TU also ranks second in three-point field goal percentage defense at 29.3%.

Aarion Nichols powers Tiffin from the guard position, ranking 10th in the GMAC with 15.1 points per game and eighth with 7.0 rebounds per game. Jasmine Watts is the next highest scorer at 8.5 points per game while also ranking third in the conference with 1.2 blocks per outing.

Scouting the Arrows:

Ursuline also had a five-game losing streak snapped last weekend, as they earned a 79-71 victory over Trevecca Nazarene on Saturday. 

The last time the Dragons and Arrows met was on Feb. 21 a season ago, with Tiffin taking a 76-67 victory at home. Nichols had seven points, nine rebounds, and five steals for TU, while Julia Cardwell led UC with 15 points and six boards.

Ursuline's strength is their shooting from deep, as the Arrows are fifth in the conference with a 32.2% clip from beyond the arc. Rebekah Green leads the team this season with 11.4 points per game, while Tamara Mathis has been the Arrows' do-it-all player, averaging 10.6 points per game, 5.6 rebounds per game, 4.7 assists per game (2nd in GMAC), and 2.2 steals per game (3rd in GMAC).

Scouting the Storm:

Lake Erie has been up and down over their recent schedule, going 3-3 in their last six games. They have dropped their last two contests to Trevecca Nazarene and Kentucky Wesleyan, but took the Panthers (2nd in GMAC standings) to the wire last Saturday.

The Storm and Dragons already played once this season in Painesville, with Lake Erie pulling away with a big fourth quarter to win 73-59. Nichols led Tiffin with 18 points, while Josie Chaddock led all scorers with 25 points for Lake Erie in the win.

Chaddock is Lake Erie's star, ranking third in the GMAC with 18.1 points per game, seventh with 3.3 assists per game, and leads the conference with 35.8 minutes per game. Breanna Bauer is also impressive, coming in tied for seventh with 15.5 points per game, fourth with a 54.6% field goal rate, and 13th with 6.2 rebounds per game.
