MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - All four of the Panther seniors scored in double digits tonight as DU defeated Florida Memorial 83-52 on the road. Leading the attack after her career high 43 point game last week was Karlee Despres with 14 points and four rebounds.

Along with Despres, Carrie Grubius racked up a season high 13 points while Abby Neff chipped in 12 and Julie Janish 10.

From the start of the game Davenport set the tempo and carried the lead for the whole forty minutes of action. Despres hit three lay-ups underneath for DU's first six points and Carrie Grubius nailed back to back three pointers to extend Davenport's lead into double digits.

At the half Davenport carried a 37-21 lead and their defense had forced 20 turnovers.

The second half continue to be much of the same with DU shooting 50% from field and forcing 28 turnovers on the day.  

Davenport is now 3-1 on the year and will continue their Florida trip tomorrow as they take on St. Thomas University for the first time in program history. Tip-off is set for 2:00pm and the game can be heard live on "The Dan".


Post-Game Quotes - Head Coach Mike Williams

On the play of Carrie Grubius: “I think she had been trying to press herself a lot and today she decided to just play basketball. She made good decisions not only on offense but on the defensive side as well.

On the play of his defense: “I thought we did a great job in the first 30 minutes of stopping their penetration down low and also applying more ball pressure. A few things we can get better at is limiting our fouls and improving our rebounding."
