Series Information – Tiffin: The Oilers and Dragons have played 60 times with Findlay holding a 49-11 record in those matchups.
The Oilers beat Tiffin at home back on Dec. 11 of this year by a score of 81-75. In that game, Bridget Landin led the way with 24 points, nine rebounds, three steals, two blocks, and two assists while Amber Schweiger scored 23 points and had eight assists and six steals.
Findlay has won seven straight games in the series with Tiffin's last win coming in January of the 2016-17 season.
THE OILERS
Still at seventh in the latest G-MAC point system, the Oilers have the opportunity to move up as high as fifth in the G-MAC Tournament seeding with a win and some help from other teams around the league.
The Oilers are winners of five of their previous seven games and are currently scoring 78.7 ppg, fifth in the conference.
For Findlay, the success of this season has been a result of its stellar junior class, led by Sydney Kin. Kin currently leads the G-MAC in scoring at 22.3 ppg and is on pace to break the Findlay program record for scoring average in a season. Kin's 174 made field goals this season are the most in the country while her 291 attempts rank eighth. The Carey, Ohio native also ranks second in the G-MAC in rebounding at 9.8, but leads the league on the offensive glass, grabbing almost four offensive rebounds per game. Kin leads the conference in double-doubles with nine this season and leads the G-MAC in free-throws made and attempted, hitting 89-of-109.
Not to be outdone, fellow junior Amber Schweiger is having a special season of her own. The Hummelstown, Pa. native is scoring 11 points per game, but her work on offense has been with her passing. Schweiger currently ranks second in the country with 122 assists and is on pace to break a 33-year old record at UF for assist average in a season, currently held by Kelly Murray who averaged 5.9 assists per game in 1987-88.
Junior Bridget Landin is second on the team with 13.4 points per game and is third in the conference with six double-doubles this season as she averages 8.0 rebounds per game while junior Paige Bellman has upped her scoring average to 9.1 ppg while collecting 7.2 rebounds per game.
Tiffin
The Dragons are 12-8 this season and are limping to the finish line as they have lost three of their previous four games.
Tiffin scores just 67.6 ppg which is 10th in the league, but they are the best in the conference defensively, allowing just 64.3 ppg, two points per game less than second-place Walsh. Part of the reason for that low scoring is that they trail only Findlay in the G-MAC in field-goal percentage defense at just .395 (Findlay allows .391)
Junior Aarion Nichols is the team's top scorer at 15.2 ppg and shoots 41.1% from the floor. She also leads the Dragons with 8.5 rebounds per game and is second with 3.0 assists per game. Sophomore Savanah Richards leads that catagory at 3.1 assists and also is second on the team with 14.4 ppg. Richards is the team's biggest threat from deep as she takes four triples per game and shoots 30%.
Sophomore Jada Tate is just shy of double-figures, scoring 9.7 ppg and grabbing 7.5 rebounds per game.
