Senior Joe Graessle had a double-double as the Tiffin University men's basketball team (6-9, 2-8 GLIAC) lost 66-48 to Findlay (11-3, 7-3 GLI-AC), Saturday afternoon at the Gillmor Center. For the first seven minutes, Tiffin and Findlay went head-to-head. Graessle drove the lane and scored to make it 11-8. The Oilers scored eight straight points to go up by 11. The Drag-ons could get no closer than six the rest of the game. TU ended up out-rebounding UF by 12 and allowed only five offensive boards for Findlay to their 33 defensive. Tiffin shot just 30.5% from the floor which led to the defeat. For Tiffin, Graessle had 15 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and four steals. Sophomore Khaleal McCormick had 11 points and sophomore Korab Imami blocked five shots.
Women's Basketball Tiffin University (5-9, 2-8 GLIAC) battled back from a disappointing first half and
had a chance to tie at the buzzer but a last second three point shot hit the rim and bounced off as the Dragons fell to Findlay 69-66 in a hard-fought GLIAC contest. Tiffin's Deidre McKay put up a three pointer in traffic at the horn, just missing a chance to send the game to overtime. The Dragons put up a valiant effort, coming back repeatedly from defi-cits to nearly pull the game out. A rough first half put them in a big hole early. Tied 9-9 at the 13:00 minute mark, the Oilers took advantage of TU turnovers to go on a 25-11 run that sent them to a solid 40-27 halftime ad-vantage. The Oilers totaled 20 points off TU turnovers and also held a 20-8 scor-ing edge in the paint during the first half. The Dragons stormed out of the locker room after halftime, though, pushing a 23-10 run on the Oilers that tied the score 50-50 with 8:56 to play. The Oilers continued to use their post play to hold onto the lead. They bounced back over the next 7 minutes on a 16-8 run that put them up 66-58 with 2:19 left. TU refused to quit, with Katie Miller drilling two three pointers to pull the Dragons to within 3 points. A missed UF free throw
gave TU one last shot at tying, which fell short. Overall the Dragons outre-bounded the Oilers 42-28 and held a big 21-7 edge from the free throw line, where TU went 21 for 27. These advantages could not overcome 28 TU turno-vers, which led to 32 Oilers points. TU shot 40 percent in the game (28 percent in the first half), while the Oil-ers finished at 45 percent (54 percent in the second half). The Dragons, playing with-out senior Karli Mast, had numerous leaders. Jordan Fraley led TU with 15 points, while Miller also had 12 points and 7 re-bounds. Kaylee Patton had 11 points andJillian Ad-ams finished with 9. Anya Misko totaled 8 points with 9 rebounds, while McKay had 5 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists.

IT! Why not take some time to con-sider continuing your education this spring or summer with one of Tiffin Universi-ty’s graduate programs. Earning a graduate degree will not only help you reach professional goals, but many careers are now requiring an advanced de-gree.Graduate students are often on the cutting edge of their industries, becoming pioneers in their fields. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average worker with a master's degree will net an additional $10,000 or more per year than those with only a bachelor's degree. Working only twen-ty years after earning your master’s degree can bring in additional income of $200,000. The cost of graduate school tuition is obviously well worth the expense. We would love to have an opportunity to discuss our graduateprogram with you in detail. I also encourage you to complete the online application at http://www.tiffin.edu/apply/grad/.

WINTER WEATHER POLICY
Tiffin Campus
If a Level 3 snow emergency is officially declared for Seneca County by the Sheriff, classes
on the Tiffin campus will be cancelled and University offices will be closed. Unless otherwise
communicated by the President or the President’s designee, classes will be held and Univer-
sity offices will be open if a snow emergency is at Level 1 or Level 2.
If a snow emergency at Level 3 has been officially declared for Seneca County, University
employees are not expected to travel to the Tiffin campus. Unless otherwise communicated
by the President or the President’s designee, faculty members are expected to travel to the
Tiffin campus to teach their classes and staff members are expected to travel to the Tiffin
campus to report for work if a snow emergency for Seneca County is at Level 1 or 2. If a
Seneca County snow emergency is at Level 1 or 2 and an employee chooses not report for
work, the employee must inform his or her supervisor and staff members must take annual
leave.
An exception to this policy will be made for any employee who lives in a county other than
Seneca County that officially has a Level 3 snow emergency when Seneca County’s snow
emergency is at Level 1 or 2. In this case, the employee is not expected to travel to the Tiffin
campus, but must inform his or her supervisor.
If a Level 3 snow emergency is in effect in Seneca County or the county where the employee
lives and then is changed to Level 1 or 2 during the time when classes are scheduled and/or
when University offices are normally open, classes will be held and offices will be open once
the snow emergency has been changed to Level 1 or Level 2, unless otherwise communicat-
ed by the President or the President’s designee.
If classes have been cancelled and University offices have been closed, certain staff mem-
bers may be designated by the President or the President’s designee as “essential person-
nel” and may be asked to report for work. Any hourly staff member who is asked to work
when the campus has been closed will be paid at a rate of time and one-half per hour. Any
exempt staff member who is asked to work when the campus is closed will be given compen-
satory time off at a later date.
Locations Other Than the Tiffin Campus
For Tiffin University classes that are taught at locations other than the Tiffin campus,
instructors and other University employees should follow the same procedure as de-
scribed above. The director of each academic center will serve as the President’s de-
signee to determine and communicate any exceptions when there is a snow emergen-
cy of Level 1 or 2 for the county where the academic center is located.
