ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Davenport women's basketball team has earned its tenth straight trip to the NAIA DII National Tournament as they claimed the regular season WHAC title outright tonight with an 82-57 victory at Concordia. DU's 20
th straight win overall improves them to 25-1 and 18-1 in league action. The Panthers return Saturday to host Indiana Tech at 1 p.m.
Tiesha Stokes posted her fifth double-double of the season as the sophomore finished with 30 points and 13 rebounds while she was joined in double-figures by
Alex Law who connected on six 3-pointers for 18 points on the night.
Kelly Dineen, making the first start of her DU career, finished with eight rebounds while
Brittany Johnson had a team high five assists.
The first four possessions of the game featured 3-point trips for each squad but after the tie score at 6-6, Davenport scored 26 of the next 28 points to open up a 32-8 lead. Highlighting the run was four triples with DU getting a pair from
Alex Law and one each from
Kia Frazier and
Linnea Brandholm. The margin continued to increase as it grew to as many as 31 in the opening half on Law's fourth 3-pointer of the half to put the Panthers up 47-16.
Looking to end a two-game losing skid in Ann Arbor, DU took a 27-point into the second half and although Concordia outscored the Panthers 22-14 in the first 11 minutes, Davenport still maintained at least a 20-point cushion for much of the remaining time.
DU finished the night shooting 51.7% (29-56) from the floor while the host Cardinals were 36% (18-50). Brooke Adams, the WHAC's leading scorer at almost 25 points per night, was limited to 15 while Becca Sabol led the Cardinals with 17.
Davenport will return home on Saturday to begin a three-game home-stand to finish the regular season. The No. 2 ranked Lady Panthers will host Indiana Tech at 1 p.m. as the Warriors come in receiving votes in the latest NAIA DII Top-25 poll.
