Box Score

The Panthers have set up a showdown with Aquinas College on Tuesday, October 31 for the WHAC Championship as they defeated Cornerstone University today 2-1. The win is the 11th of the season for DU as they upped their record to 11-5-1.  Tony Deakin, the 2007 WHAC Player of the Year, got the scoring going in the first half as he put a ball away off the assist of Bryant Roos and Juha Pahkala at the 31:20 mark. The game then turned into a defensive battle as neither team could find the back of the net.

Davenport outshot the Golden Eagles 19-10 with many of those shots coming late in the first half and towards the middle of the 2nd half. The Panthers then added an insurance goal at 55:43 when Elfid Kovacevic redirected a cross by Duvare Minto. Cornerstone made the game exciting in the last five minutes when Brad Verburg scored on a mis-played ball by the Panthers defender and almost tied the game up in the final few minutes with a fury of shots.
