GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The sixth-ranked Davenport women's basketball team continues to roll this year. After picking up their eighth straight win last Saturday, the Lady Panthers will be tested Wednesday as third-place Siena Heights comes to the DU Student Center for a Wolverine Hoosier Athletic Conference showdown. In a rare start, the men's basketball teams will tip off the doubleheader at 5:30 p.m., with the women following at approximately 7:30 p.m.
