The Tiffin University women's basketball team were defeated by the Ashland University Eagles on Thursday afternoon, 81-47. The Dragons struggled to score against the tough Eagle defense. The Dragons only managed 20 points in half number one.

Ashland took the lead from the tip and continued to build on that lead. The Dragons were down 13-3 before they knew what hit them. The Eagles were 5 of 11 from three in the first half, and only shot 38.9% from the floor. But the Dragons could only manage seven made shots in the half, and their shooting percentage hovered around 25%. Meanwhile, the Eagles were able to build a 19 point lead, and coasted to the half in front 37-20.

The Eagles turned up the heat to another degree in the second half, and jumped out in front by as much as 30. Ashland's shooting percentage improved in the half to 47.2% from the field, and the Eagles splashed another five threes in the half. The Dragons did improve in the 2nd half, shooting 30.8% from the floor, but the Dragons dug too deep of a first half hole to climb out of, and Ashland coasted to a 81-47 victory.

The Dragons were led in scoring by Bre Nauman with 13 points, Trischa Lacy came off the bench in the 2nd half, and in 13 minutes of play, scored eight points and grabbed three boards. The Eagles were led by their lone senior, Taylor Woods, who scored a game high 20 points on 6 of 12 shooting from three.

The loss drops the Dragons to 7-19 overall, and 6-14 in GLIAC play.
