    The Eagles earned a total of 34 points and four first-place votes, narrowly edging out 2009 GLIAC Tournament champion Tiffin University, which tallied three first-place votes and 32 points.  Ashland, after finishing first in 2009 GLIAC regular-season play, fell to the second-seeded Dragons in the GLIAC Tournament final.
