The Tiffin University women's soccer team had two players receive All GMAC recognition as voted by the GMAC coaches.

Lauryn Grcic was honored with the Elite 23 award, an award that recognizes student-athletes at the pinnacle of their sport, both athletically and academically. 

Grcic becomes the fifth Dragons athlete to receive the Elite 23 award, joining Jacob Zinn (men's cross country), Emily Koehler (women's golf), Nico Kyprian (men's golf), and Nicholas Smythe (men's wrestling).

Launched for the first time in the 2020-21 school year, the Great Midwest Athletic Conference Elite 23 Award aims to recognize student-athletes at the pinnacle of their sport, both athletically and academically. Each sport is presented with one men's and women's individual winner with the highest cumulative GPA from a championship-qualifying program.

The honorees must also be actively able to compete on site, of sophomore eligibility and in at least their second year with their current institution. Each institution is permitted to nominate (1) male and (1) female student-athlete during the awards process that is mirrored specifically to the NCAA's Elite 90 Award. 

Leila Hannaoui was selected Third Team All GMAC midfielder for her efforts this season. Hannaoui was the engine in the midfield for the Dragons, starting in all ten games for Tiffin.
