For the second week in a row Samantha Ortenzi laid claim to the GLIAC Defensive Player of the Week thanks to her two victories in goal over the weekend.

The Dragons extended their win streak to four games, qualified for the GLIAC Tournament for the first time since 2012, and will host the a postseason game for the first time since 2010, thanks to the great defensive effort put forth by senior goalkeeper Samantha Ortenzi. Tiffin's keeper allowed only one goal over the weekend, collecting 12 saves to bring her career total to 496. After defeating Northwood on Friday, Tiffin needed to defeat Saginaw Valley State to host in the postseason. Ortenzi was up to the task, pitching her second shutout of the season in the biggest game of the season.
