Dragon Details:
The 2019 season was undoubtedly a historic one for Tiffin volleyball with the Dragons finishing with a 19-13 overall mark and 10-2 conference record that secured the two-seed in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference tournament, resulting in Tiffin's first time ever hosting a conference playoff match. The Dragons also advanced to the GMAC title game, coming one win away from the program's first NCAA Tournament appearance.
Three Dragons earned All-Conference honors with Jenna Huffman on the First Team and Loryn Huffman and Sam Fallis on the Second Team. Fallis and Loryn Huffman are two of four Dragon starters that return from that conference runner-up squad, with Grace Schreiber and Morgan White also coming back after playing in all 118 sets for TU in 2019. A mix of other returners and promising newcomers also adds to the talent of this year's team as Tiffin looks to continue one of the best stretches in program history.
In her fourth season at the helm, Shauna Hurles also brought in seven newcomers to the varsity team, which was picked 2nd in the GMAC preseason poll.
Scouting the Arrows:
The Arrows finished the 2019 season with a 4-22 overall record and 2-10 in the GMAC.
Ursuline are returning three key starters from the 2019 campaign. Notable returners include right side Nora Clink (152 points and 2.08 kills), outside hitter Devin Gerth (203 points and 21 services aces) and setter Regan Nickol (717 assists and 18 service aces). They were picked 10th in the GMAC preseason poll.
