Fallis helped lead the Dragons into the conference championship match earlier in the spring and, after four wins in their last five matches, are finding their footing after a slow start to the season.

Fallis averaged 6.17 digs per set and established herself as the new league leader in that category, slightly gaining the edge over two-time North Division Defensive Player of the Week Alli Wiese, 5.48 to 5.45.
 
Fallis finished with 18 digs vs. West Liberty, 31 in the four-set win over Cedarville, and 25 in four sets vs. ODU.
 
She leads all players in the Great Midwest with 274 digs and Tiffin is second among all teams in the conference in digs per set (17.74).
