GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Davenport pushed past Concordia in straight sets on Wednesday night to pick up their seventh consecutive win to set a new school record.  The victory lifts the Panthers to 14-3 overall and 4-0  in league action as they now turn their attention to non-league foes Goshen, Huntington and Purdue North Central this weekend in Indiana.  Senior Kelse Moon led the DU attack with 11 kills while sophomore Amber Getty finished with 31 assists in the 25-20, 25-10, 25-22 win.

Davenport pushed ahead by six points in the first (13-7) only to see the Cardinals fight back with six straight points to tie the set. After a 3-0 run by DU put some distance between them and CUAA, the Panthers never let their opponent get any closer than one in the eventual 25-20 win.
