The WHAC Tournament Thus Far
In a battle between the top four seeds in the WHAC Tournament, the top two used homefield advantage to advance last Saturday in the semifinal as No. 1 Davenport and No. 2 Northwestern Ohio each held off No. 4 Madonna and No. 3 Aquinas by the scores of 1-0, respectively, to advance to the championship match. Abbey Tyson scored in the 21^st minute to help the Panthers defeat the Crusaders while Sarah Huchet used her 21^st goal of the year in the 61^st to lift the Racers over the Saints.
 
The Last Time Between Davenport and Northwestern Ohio
In the first women's soccer meeting between Davenport and Northwestern Ohio, the host Racers used a successful penalty kick taken by Taryn Pardoe in the fourth minute and a goal by Anja Koempel in the 81^st to shutout the Panthers 2-0 on Oct. 26. The loss also snapped DU's program-record 13-match win streak. Davenport tried to recover from the penalty kick, even taking a pair of shots that hit the crossbar, but failed.
