False positives?

Hello,

I am an adjunct instructor in a Doctoral level program. Recently, I had my students submit a paper to Moodle which I then put through Turnitin.com. This assignment was the same assignment that was done last year. One student had a paper that came back 100% similar to that of another student's paper that had been submitted to the university. The similarity report only provides me with this information. Is there any possible way that this could be a false positive?
