About the WHAC Tournament
As part of winning the WHAC regular-season crown outright, Davenport was awarded the top seed to the tournament and homefield advantage that comes with it. Women's soccer newcomer Northwestern Ohio came close to sharing the WHAC championship with DU but had to settle finishing three points behind with 21 points. The Racers will host seven-seed Indiana Tech while third-seed Aquinas welcome Siena Heights and rounding out the rest of the tournament schedule, No. 4 Madonna will host No. 5 Cornerstone.
 
About the NAIA Top 25 Rankings
Davenport enters the WHAC Tournament having moved back in the top 10 of the NAIA Top 25 poll, jumping one spot from last week. DU has been ranked as high as No. 7 for six straight weeks this year. Concordia (Ore.) repeats as the No. 1 team for the third consecutive week after receiving all 21 first-place votes. The rest of the top five remains the same with Northwood (Fla.) sitting at No. 2, Westmont (Calif.) at No. 3, Embry-Riddle (Fla.) at No. 4 and Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) at No. 5.)
 
The Last Meeting between Davenport and Concordia
Davenport got off to a sluggish start but would later see five different Panthers score in their 5-0 win over the Cardinals on Senior Night last week. Seniors Lizzie Paul and Laken Duchar-Clark both scored a goal while Paul and fellow seniors Thelma Gylfadottir and Karli Harris tabbed an assist. Also scoring for DU are Mackenzie VanDerWarf, Paige Eli and Letesha Cannonier. Michelle Marcus picked up her 10th full-credited shutout, 11th including combined, after making only one save on the evening.
