ATHENS, Ohio - The 7th ranked Panthers continued their winning ways tonight as they finished off the sweep of #2 Ohio in Athens by the score of 5-3.  Davenport has now won five games in a row, all over top 10 teams in ACHA D1 and stands at 7-1 on the year.

Davenport continues to impress in their inaugural year in ACHA D1 as they completed their second straight sweep of a Top-10 ranked opponent tonight with a 5-3 win over the host Bobcats of Ohio University.

Ohio got on the board with the only goal in the opening period but DU came back strong in the second with three unanswered goals to take a 3-1 lead after forty minutes of play.

Scoring for Davenport were Sean McWhorter (Lansing, Mich.) and Tyler Forbes (Toronto, Ontario). The rookie Forbes had two of the three goals as they quickly took the crowd out of the game.  Two of DU's three goals came via the power play.

The third period saw many exciting plays and hits as the intensity continued inside Bird Arena but it was the scoring from Adam Kuhn (Southgate, Mich.) and Justin Smith (Sarnia, Ontario) that iced the game for the Panthers as they did allow two Bobcat goals but the host scoring was not enough with DU getting out of Ohio with a two game sweep.

The Panthers are now 7-1 on the year and will travel to Iowa State on Friday and Saturday next week to face the Cyclones.  ISU is the defending national runner-up in D1 and are currently ranked #5.  It will be the third straight top-10 opponent for Davenport all on the road.
