FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Davenport fell behind 1-0 midway through the first half and could not muster a comeback as Tech scored a late goal for the final outcome of 2-0 in the Men's Soccer WHAC Championship game. DU ends their season with an overall mark of 8-11-0.

After defeating #1 ranked Aquinas College, the #4 Panthers went into their 3rd championship game appearance in the last five years but were unable to clinch their first berth in the National Tournament.

Davenport had a few really good chances early on in the opening half and had one ball roll along the goal line but just missed. Tech then broke through in the 28th minute off a long ball from a corner kick and took the 1-0 lead into halftime.

Coming out with a little more energy in the early going, DU was still unable to create many scoring chances but their defense was also up to the task as the time counted down.

With just under 2:00 to play, DU had one more really good scoring chance off a corner kick but Tech was able to clear the ball deep and had a one on one opportunity go their way as they posted the second goal of the game for the final outcome of 2-0.

Davenport outshot the Warriors 12-11 (6-3 on goal) but the host school made the most of their limited chances.
