INDIANAPOLIS – A pair of exceptional performances on the pitch from Tiffin and Cedarville were recognized for Great Midwest Athletic Conference Women’s Soccer Players of the Week honors on Tuesday.
 
Offensive Player of the Week
Kristen Dickison
Tiffin
Forward
Junior
Pleasant Hill, OH (Milton Union HS/Urbana)
 
The Dragons are going through their first year with Michael Cracas at the helm after the program qualified for the conference tournament earlier this spring.
 
Dickison was unstoppable over a three-game stretch as the Dragons went 1-1-1 against Cedarville, Trevecca Nazarene and Kentucky Wesleyan.
 
The junior forward delivered four goals and one assist for a grand total of nine points. She scored at least one point in all three games.
 
Dickison scored a pair of very early goals to have Cedarville reeling in the first half and would finish with five shots in Tiffin’s effort. Against TNU, Dickison was credited with an assist on the Dragons’ lone goal that would end in a stalemate.
 
She finished her torrid week with a two-goal effort against Kentucky Wesleyan while scoring twice in less than a five-minute window. On the season, Dickison now has five goals and 11 points in TU’s nine games.
