GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Coming off a 2-1 victory over eighth-seed Marygrove on a chilly Wednesday evening, the 24
th-ranked and top seeded Davenport women's soccer team moved into the Wolverine Hoosier Athletic Conference Tournament semifinals and will now host No. 4 Madonna Saturday at 7 p.m. The winner of the match will meet the winner of the No. 2 Indiana Tech and No. 5 Aquinas match next weekend for the tournament crown.
The Lady Panthers went through a Halloween scare against the Mustangs this past Wednesday. Although
Paige Eli put Davenport ahead in the first half and
Letesha Cannonier put in the insurance goal midway through the second half, Marygrove got a breath of life after scoring a goal shortly after Cannonier. Davenport had to play keep away from Marygrove and held on to beat the Mustangs.
Cannonier came to the rescue again for the Lady Panthers Wednesday as they have now won 10 consecutive matches, seven passed the old record set 2009 and 2010. The sophomore has scored nine goals in the last 10 matches, with six of them as the eventual match-winners.
Lizzie Paul, who assisted both Eli and Cannonier's goals, earned 30 points to match her and the program's single-season record. The junior has scored 10 goals and 10 assists on the year.
Despite being outshot 15-3 throughout its quarterfinal match, Madonna used a pair of first half goals to beat Siena Heights 2-0 Wednesday. Ashley Parent and Amanda Ferrick scored the goals for the Crusaders. Parent has been one of the leading scorers in the WHAC, scoring 18 goals and tallying seven assists for 43 points. Ferrick is also a dangerous player as she leads the team in assists with nine.
