The Tiffin University men's soccer (4-2-3, 3-1-3 GMAC) defeated Ohio Dominican 2-0.

The win extends TU's defensive scoreless streak to over 180 minutes following its scoreless tie with Findlay last weekend.

Tiffin's defense held strong in the first 45 minutes, not allowing a shot on the net. Both teams ended the first half with the game held at 0-0.

The Dragons increased the intensity in the second half as Juan Rosique Alvarez drew a penalty for the Dragons that Mounir Boutarfa converted to take a 1-0 lead.

In the 75th minute, Tiffin doubled their advantage as Thierry van den Bergh hit a screaming cross across the six-yard box to Malvin Gblah who slotted it into the net.

Tiffin outshot the Panthers 18-9, with 6 shots on net compared to ODU's one, and ODU had six corners compared to TU's 3.

Declan Lehmann recorded the win in net and moved to 4-2-3 overall in the shutout as he made one save.
