Tiffin came very close to pulling out their first victory of the season on Saturday, matching Kentucky Wesleyan at two goals apiece through the first 90 minutes but falling in the second overtime on a golden goal by the Panthers. Emma Siler put the Dragons up early with the first goal of her career, but KWC responded with a pair of goals to take the lead. Sierra Besecker found the equalizer late in the second-half off a free kick, before the Panthers' Madyson Hunt scored with less than four minutes to play in double overtime.
Besecker sits alone atop the Dragons in terms of points on the year with five on two goals and an assist. Lily Cady is next with two goals and four points, followed by Lauryn Grcic's three points on a goal and an assist.
