JACKSON, Tenn. – On day one of the Union University tournament, Davenport lost to No. 24 Saint Xavier University and No. 17 Union University to fall to 10-4 overall on the season. DU was unable to hold on to a two run lead in the seventh falling 4-5 to Saint Xavier and carried their sloppy seventh inning performance on against Union falling 2-10 in six innings.

Kayla Gonyea and Amber Getty led off the seventh with back to back singles and where moved into scoring position on a Morgan Greenfield sacrifice bunt. Freshman Paige Sant'Angelo then singled to centerfield to score both Gonyea and Getty to give DU the 4-2 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh.

With two outs in the bottom of the seventh, Saint Xavier put together a three run rally to hand Davenport their second straight loss coming at a score of 4-5.

In their second game of the day against No. 17 Union University the Panthers allowed 10 runs, only three of those earned, in six innings to suffer their second loss of the day at 2-10.

Morgan Greenfield's single in the third accounted for Davenport's only two runs in the contest as the Panthers committed three errors and only produced four hits in the game.
