MEN’S SOCCER<br />
For the second year in a row <strong>Tiffin</strong> <strong>University</strong> won the GLIAC Men’s Soccer<br />
Tournament Championship, but missed out on the NCAA National<br />
Tournament. The Dragons defeated top-seeded Ashland in a dramatic 3-2<br />
victory, but just missed selection by the committee overseeing the national<br />
tourney. Despite not making Nationals, the Dragons turned in a solid 15-4-1<br />
(5-2-1 GLIAC) season and picked up many postseason honors in the process.<br />
Rhys Cannella was the 2009 GLIAC Offensive Player of the Year, following<br />
Ashton Campbell’s similar honor in 2008, while Tony Iyayi earned the GLIAC<br />
Defensive Player of the Year award. Cannella scored team high 15 goals while<br />
adding six assists. Iyayi also helped on the offensive end, scoring five goals<br />
while contributing two assists. Michael O’Neill (three goals, 9 assists) and<br />
Ashton Campbell (11 goals, 6 assists) were also honored by landing on the<br />
GLIAC First Team.<br />
The Dragons also landed two players on the Second Team. Defender<br />
Roger Kummer and goalkeeper Jeff Frisch earned the second team honors.<br />
Kummer scored 2 goals and added 2 assists on offense. Frisch (15-4-1) made<br />
80 saves while allowing 14 goals. He also recorded nine shutouts.<br />

after an injury in week five. His 44.6 yards per game was good enough to lead<br />
the Dragons. Freshman Brett Koepp scored two rushing touchdowns while<br />
