YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Davenport D1 hockey team continued to roll on Saturday to up their win streak to three games, which is a season high. After beating Eastern Michigan on Friday both teams were back at Saturday and DU was able to get another win as they beat the Eagles 5-1. Matt Ogden was able to find the back of the net twice while Robert Kleiman tallied three assists in the game, and the penalty kill unit went seven-for-seven on the night. DU is now 10-6-0-1 and they will have key GLCHL matchup on Tuesday, November 26 as they travel to Adrian, Mich. to take on conference leader Adrian College at 7 p.m. at Arrington Ice Arena.
 
DU got behind early as the Eagles were able to get a puck past Matt Kaludis 8:42 into the game, but the Panthers came back as Andrew Frank scored with five minutes left in the period to tie the game at one. Two minutes later Phil Wendecker was able to put Davenport on top with a goal to give DU a 2-1 lead heading into the first intermission. The Panthers were able to sustain pressure on the Eastern Michigan goaltender as they peppered him with 23 shots in the period.
 
In the second period, DU was able to get more special teams work in as they killed off four Eagle power plays to hang onto the lead. Seven minutes into the period Bo Jacobs was able to increase the Panther lead to two goals off a feed from Robert Kleiman. With eight minutes left in the period Matt Ogden scored his first goal of the night off a pass from freshman Aaron Beally to give DU a 4-1 lead after two periods.

The penalty kill unit for head coach Phil Sweeney's squad was able to kill off some more Eagle power plays to hold on the lead and take the 5-1 victory.
