The Ursuline College basketball team led 59-57 after three quarters before Tiffin outscored the Arrows 20-10 over the final 10 minutes as they picked up a home win 77-69 on Saturday afternoon. 

The Dragons jumped out to an early 6-2 lead in the opening two minutes of the contest before freshman Michaela Cloonan knocked down a three-pointer on a pass from senior Morgan Mattimore to make it 6-5. Trailing 11-7, sophomore Alyssa Evans connected on a three-pointer on a pass from Cloonan to pull the Arrows back to within a point at 11-10 with 6:08 to play. 

Tiffin continued their hot start from the field and extended the lead to 17-10 before the Arrows got a spark from their bench when sophomore Tamara Mathis finished a layup and hit a three-pointer to close the gap to 17-15 with 2:00 to play. The Dragons held a 21-20 edge after one. 

Cloonan buried a jumper and Evans followed with a jumper of her own in the second quarter to put Ursuline in front 24-21. A pair of free throws from Mathis helped the Arrows build a six point advantage early in the period. 

The Dragons held a 36-35 edge at the break.

After a back and forth third quarter saw the two teams trade the lead several times, Tiffin's defense held Ursuline to just 4-for-11 shooting in the final 10 minutes to pick up their third win of the season. 

The Arrows shot 43 percent (27-of-62) from the field in the game and were 6-for-18 from behind the three-point line while Tiffin shot 51 percent (30-for-58) from the floor and were just 1-for-9 from deep. The Dragons were 16-for-22 from the free throw line while the Arrows finished the game 9-for-13. Tiffin out reboudned Ursuline 36-32 and the Arrows were narrowly edged on the boards 36-32.

Mathis paced the Arrows offense with 18 points on 8-for-18 shooting while grabbing 11 rebounds and dishing out three assists. Evans finished with 12 points while junior Bekah Green added 10 points.
