Tiffin University (1-3) kept the first half close but a late half surge and too many turnovers spelled doom, as Mercyhurst beat TU 19-9.

Tiffin got off on the wrong foot, getting outscored 5-1 over the first 13 minutes of the game. But the Dragons rallied for a 4-2 run highlighted by two goals by Elle Hamilton and goals by Danielle Roberts and Daniela Carey that brought TU to within 7-5 with 4:18 to play in the half.

Turnovers continued to plague the Dragons, though, as miscues led to three quick scores over the next 1:40 to push the Lakers' lead to 10-5 at halftime. Overall TU had 13 turnovers in each half for 26 total in the game.
