Tiffin University (2-24) shot 54 percent in the first half and played aggressively in playing Hillsdale to a 29-29 tie at halftime, but could not keep it going in the second half, shooting 31 percent in falling in a close one 67-56. The Dragons came out of the halftime lockerroom and didn't make a field goal for over 9 minutes as Hillsdale amassed a 15 point lead. TU managed to get as close as 5 points late in the game but Hillsdale outscored TU 15-9 over the final 5:00 to put the game away. TU had 17 turnovers in the game leading to 20 Hillsdale points. Rafael Cuellar led the Dragons with 12 points while Brian Scott had 10 points. DeAngelo Jordan had 8 points and tied Mohammed Fall with 7 rebounds apiece.
There have been numerous games this season where the Dragons have had the lead or have been within 5 points of their opponent and have been unable to close out the game. The Dragons have a tough Findlay squad next who have the Preseason GLIAC Player of the Year in Nathon Hyde. Findlay is the defending NCAA Division II Champions.
