Playing at Kates Gymnasium for the first time in 2026 on Sunday (Feb. 8) afternoon, Ashland University's No. 8-ranked STUNT team won a pair of Great Midwest Athletic Conference games – 21-1 over No. 19 Walsh, then 35-16 against No. 12 Tiffin.
The Eagles are 4-2 overall and 2-0 in the league, have won four games in a row, and set a new single-game program record for points against the Dragons.
"Going 2-0 today in conference play was an excellent start," said Ashland head coach
Denise Farnsworth. "The energy from a packed home crowd made a huge difference, and our girls were able to feed off the excitement of the fans.
"Scoring 35 points against Tiffin really reflects how hard the team has been working."
